About

Marriage Officiant- Authorized to perform marriages in Virginia
After retiring from the Circuit Court of Fairfax County at the end of 2000, I was appointed as a Marriage Celebrant.  Since that time I have married  hundreds of couples.  My hours are very flexible and I  enjoy traveling to new locations. A commitment of love is one of the most meaningful moments in a persons life.  Some couples decide to celebrate this special moment with a simple private ceremony.  Others decide to have a large celebration to invite their family and friends to celebrate this moment with them. 
Whether you decide to get married in your home, in a park or in a ballroom the ceremony will be very beautiful and meaningful.
If you are planning to renew your wedding vows, I would be happy to assist you.
Available 7 days a week
On the preferred list of several area wedding sites.
