About Us

I am Rev. Starlene Joyner Burns, a modern day minister, marriage equality supporter, and founder of SJB Ministries LLC. 

Are you tired of the traditional church style weddings delivered in a tone that's not you? 

Do you want a celebration that's unique and special?  

Then you have found the right person to deliver your ceremony in a style that speaks of who you are as a couple.  

It is always an honor to witness the celebration of two people, taking their vows of faithfulness, as proof to the universe of their love and devotion. 

It does not matter if your ceremony is religious (Christian), nondenominational, interfaith, civil (secular, non-religious) or spiritual; I have been trained to customize ceremonies that expresses a couple's love, intentions, and beliefs. 

My four-year nondenominational seminary training taught me to embrace all faiths, all people, and all ways of life.  So I do this, openly, unconditionally, respectfully, and lovingly.  Pre-wedding coaching is available for those living together or apart.  

From the processional to the recessional, I will lend my experience and expertise to you as part of the whole wedding celebration.  And as your personal pastor, my relationship with you will not end with your wedding, but begin with it.

If you're ready to take the next step, then pick up the phone and call me for a free consultation (202).253.3629.   

Meanwhile, congratulations and enjoy your planning.  I look forward to speaking with you soon.

So please keep in touch, by following me on Facebook and Twitter (just click the link to the right of this page). 

Thank you,

Rev. SJ Burns

I just want to say a few honest and kind words about our experience with Chapel of Love Ceremonies and the respected and most honorable Starlene Joyner Burns, MSS. We arrived from Miami to Washington DC after a earthquake and in the midst of a hurricane this past August 25th. We, my partner and myself were a nervous wreck if you can imagine but went on a vibe all would be fine. Well, it was more than fine, it was spectacular. The storm just brushed by us at our hotel and she was encouraging through the entire process. She was on time, kind and encouraging about doubts, cold feet, vow's and positive advice in making this marriage a most wonderful and long lasting one at that. My partner was an hour late right after the photographer who was just as late due to the storm and she was so patient and calming to me. She spent time sharing advice and listening to me discussing hopes, concerns and desires from Gay Marriage to Acceptance and family turbulence shall I say. She was wonderful! The ceremony went so smooth and her words and vows bestowed upon us were priceless. She further gave us for keep sake a nice folder with all our documents, licenses and vows exchanged etc. A true memorable keep sake and I just want to say on behalf of my partner and I - we thank you so much. We hope many more lucky couples out there get the chance to experience the true blessings and spiritual nature of the most honorable Minister - Starlene Joyner Burns, MSS.
To her I say thank you for your time, patience and true caring nature you bestowed upon Gary and I on August 27, 2011. God bless and much success and many more opportunities to those wishing to elope. Best regards with love, Craig
Chapel of Love Ceremonies by Rev. SJ Burns responded with the following comments:
This review brought tears to my eyes. It is so heartfelt, vivid, and well-written. Saying thanks to you can’t even touch the gratitude I feel. I feel truly blessed. Thanks for being an angel of truth, love, caring, and giving. Weathering the storm to officiate your marriage to (aka) Dominick only shows how we are truly guided and protected by a Divine presence (God and angels).
 


Had the opportunity to be the wedding entertainment for a commitment ceremony that Rev Burns was the officiant of. She organized the couple's entrance with their attendees and made the guests feel like family. She was absolutely great fun and personable. I look forward to working with her in future ceremonies.
