Here is how The Little Book of Hygge: Danish Secrets to Happy Living defines hygge:  “Embrace Hygge (pronounced hoo-ga) and become happier with the Danish philosophy of comfort, togetherness, and well-being.

I had the privilege of officiating Jess and Dell’s wedding yesterday at The Loft at 132 in Sun Prairie. Such an incredible couple that met in 7th grade!

What does Koru mean?

KORU (kor-roo) is the Maori word for “loop.” For the indigenous people of New Zealand, the koru spiral represents a fern frond beginning to unfurl. The koru symbol embodies new beginnings, a new phase of life, renewal, hope for the future, positive change, personal growth, working in harmony, bringing people together, and being mindful of the good things in life.

At Koru Ceremony, we strive to personify these ideals and celebrate a new beginning through ceremony and ritual.
