About

Whether you want a simple ceremony in the comfort of your home, a theme wedding, a traditional ceremony in a garden or a formal affair, I will work with you to design the ceremony that is right for you. Your wedding is one of the most special days of your lives--make it as unique as you are.

Above all, your vows should say what you truly believe marriage means to you. Write you own vows or choose from a wide selection of vows and styles of ceremonies. Your vows can be as traditional or creative as you'd like; they can be secular humanist, religious or even humorous! Many couples who have children like to include them in the ceremony; others include the couple's parents. Both are beautiful ways to acknowledge that the family dynamic is changing for the couple's children and parents, as well. I will work with you to tailor your vows to who you are and what marriage means to you.

I have been ordained as a Minister by the Universal Life Church, a non-denominational, interfaith church, since 1993 and I am Commissioned by the Federation of Christian Ministries as an Ecumenical, Nondenominational Minister.

I specialize in ceremonies for couples who are "spiritual, but not religious", ceremonies for same-sex couples and interfaith ceremonies. I am happy to work with interfaith couples to incorporate aspects of each person's faith. I am also happy to perform civil ceremonies for couples who prefer them.

I understand that for most couples, budget and scheduling are major considerations, so most planning meetings are held via Skype or Google Hangouts, unless otherwise requested.

This was an amazing experience. I wanted to surprise my (now) wife with a more personalized service than the city hall ceremony we were planning, and Susan was so wonderful in helping me pull it off. She patiently waited several days for me to find a time when I could discreetly talk to her about the plans, and was just a joy to work with. On the day of the ceremony she showed up early and completely professional-looking. Her son was with her, and even he was dressed for the occasion. She was even more patient as we set up the web cam for our out-state-relatives to watch us, and everyone who saw the ceremony mentioned how much they appreciated Susan's beautiful words and demeanor. Her son helped with the wedding photos and was johnny-on-the-spot with everything. It was a magical moment, and I am so grateful that we went with Susan.

Susan was a pleasure to work with. She personalized our vows to fit our family and situation. She offered helpful advise and suggestions to make our ceremony go as smooth as possible. She was always available and worked around our schedule to make sure our ceremony was complete, and to our expectations before the wedding. I would highly recommend Susan as an officiant to anyone that asks.

Susan was a great officiant for our wedding and handled everything very professionally. She was always easy to get a hold of and very quick to respond with any questions we had. I'd recommend Susan in a heartbeat. She helped make our wedding a success!
