About
Your wedding is an expression of who you are as a couple and deserves to be exactly what you want it to be. I am an ordained, nondenominational, interfaith minister who would be honored to create, or help you create, your perfect wedding ceremony. Soon after you contact me, we will arrange a personal meeting to become acquainted and start to create your ceremony. We will stay in touch until your ceremony is finished to your total satisfaction. Since 2001, I have been writing and officiating specialty weddings including spiritual, religious, civil, Celtic, handfasting, and other unique celebrations. I also offer standard versions, which we can easily personalize. I organize rehearsals and joyfully officiate at ceremonies. After the wedding, I will give you the booklet from which I prepared and performed your ceremony.
