About

Located in CLAY County in the northern edge of Kansas City, I am a full-time Board Certified Chaplain in a local hospital. I have been officiating at weddings for almost thirty years within CLAY and PLATTE counties, as well as in both Kansas and Missouri throughout the Greater Kansas City area. My experience with many different denominations and religions allows me to be very flexible as we plan your wedding. You may want a quick home wedding, planning something small in a local park, or dream of a large wedding at a local hall. You and your fiance' may prefer a more traditional religious ceremony,  a ceremony that combines elements of more than one tradition, or one that is completely secular. I have the skills and the desire to help you make it personal. Take a look at my site for more information.

Are you willing to perform a ceremony at a non-religious site?
Absolutely. Not being a pastor of a congregation, that describes most of the weddings I am privileged to lead.
 
Are you flexible in the wording used throughout the ceremony, including the vows?
That is really at the core of my approach. My practice is to email a number of ceremonies to couples for them to edit, cut, and paste. They include traditional and nontraditional, religious and not, even family vows.
 
Do you allow the couple to write their own vows, if desired?
Yes. I encourage it if they are so inclined.
 
Do you have a list of readings pre-selected, from which the couple must choose?
Not that they MUST choose, but some from which they MAY choose.
 
Do you require that premarital counseling be done?
No.
 
Are you willing to perform pre-ceremony rehearsals?
Yes, depending upon the location and time.
