About Us

Since 2004, I have officiated more than 700 weddings for couples of all faiths and cultures.  The deliverance of these celebrations always touches the hearts and minds of those listening.

I am Rev. Starlene Joyner Burns, a modern day minister who supports marriage equality and can deliver your marriage celebration in a style that fits who you are.  Recently you have seen me standing with the Maryland state governor in support of the Civil Marriage Protection Act for all families.

This means that one day all civil marriages in Maryland will be treated equally in the eyes of the law.  So it does not matter if your ceremony is spiritual, nondenominational, interfaith, or civil; I have been trained to customize ceremonies that express a couple's heart, mind, soul, and spirit.

From the processional to the recessional, I will lend my experience and expertise to you as part of the whole wedding celebration.  My four-year seminary training taught me to embrace all faiths, all people, and all cultures.  And I do this, openly, unconditionally, respectfully, and lovingly.

In 2004, I founded SJB Ministries LLC (an open and affirming ministry) and serve as the minister of matrimony, advisor, and teacher of spiritual growth and development; through meditation, divine healing, visualization, course of study, and affirmations to those struggling in life or wanting a deeper connection with God or their higher-self.

Pre-wedding coaching is available for those living together or apart.   It is not required, but recommended.

If you're ready to take the next step, then pick up the phone, and call me for an introductory meeting at (202) 253.3629.

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

And if you like to keep in touch, follow me on Facebook or Twitter.

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 SJB Ministries 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.
