About
In 2013 one of my close friends asked me if I would officiate her wedding. At first, I thought she was kidding but came to realize that she was serious. I went through the process to become ordained and was appointed in the Commonwealth of Virginia as an officiant the same year. In October 2014 I performed my first custom wedding ceremony for my friend and realized what an impact it made to be an integral part of such a special occasion.
My wife and I were married in front of our family and friends in 2012 by a close friend and had a separate civil ceremony in D.C. since same-sex marriage was not yet afforded to Virginians. I am happy to be able to offer my services to all couples.
I am a native of Richmond, VA, and a graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University. By day I am a professional sales trainer for a national company. I reside in Richmond with my wife and 2 daughters.

Mandy is a lovely personality to bring warmth, humor and a casual charm to your wedding ceremony. Gone are the days when you only have a stuffy guy who doesn't "get" your partnership.
