About

Dear future spouses,

Welcome to my storefront! My name is Gina Marie and I am an ordained minister and I would be honored to be a part of your celebration of love, happiness, and friendship.

I have performed over 90 ceremonies over the last three years. I am very passionate about working alongside two hearts that will become one. I'm a firm believer that when my beautiful couple's hands become intertwined it will provide endless strength, friendship, and love. I assure you that the love shared today will be as precious as the day you first fell for one another .

Let me help make your special day memorable. I specialize in nondenominational weddings, vowel renewals, and civil partnerships. I believe my prices are reasonable and I will work with you to assure that my services are affordable. Your special occasion is about a celebration of your commitment to cherish the one you love.

I'm passionate about personalizing each wedding and or vowel renewal in order to make your day magical. I will meet with you and your partner to go over all details of your special day. Readings, poems, Unity candles and sand are an extra touch and I like to involve the children and parents as well. I'm looking forward to hearing from you in order to assure that your happily ever after becomes a lifetime of memories.

made our ceremony perfect

Our ceremony was beyond anything we expected thanks to Gina. She is so sweet, responsive, very helpful and really wanted to connect with us so she could give us the best ceremony! She did exactly that. We did not go with a lot of traditional ceremony stuff but it was very personal, involved a few of our family members and she made sure it was all in an order that would sound best. Every single person at our wedding said it was the most genuine, emotional, beautiful ceremony. I wish I could relive it all every day and work with Gina more because she was so lovely. So lucky to have these memories she created for us, for ever! Absolutely recommend her if you want something special and meaningful!

Most memorable ceremony EVER!!

Having known Gina for over a decade, I could think of no one better to officiate my wedding. Not only was Gina my friend but she is someone I could always trust. I knew no matter what we would have a very special ceremony, but I was blown away at HOW special it was.

Gina took the time to interview both my (now) husband and I before the wedding and got to know our relationship and story. At the time I just thought this is what friends do but Gina was able to incorporate our love story into her ceremony script. We also filled out a couple’s questionnaire that she with our love story turned into the most beautifully worded ceremony that I have ever heard. Truly, I used to think wedding ceremonies were a bit of a bore, but I feel like our ceremony was the most special memory I have from our wedding. We were able to hire a videographer and I cannot WAIT to hear our ceremony again.

Before the wedding, Gina was always available to talk and answer any questions we had about the ceremony. She was always prepared, organized and on time. With Gina’s advice, we even had an easy time obtaining our marriage license without having to take any time off work or go to a courthouse which was a huge relief. Being from out of town she was not able to make the rehearsal, but you would have NEVER known that come wedding day. Heck, she did better than others who were at the rehearsal!

Come wedding day, not only did she rock the ceremony, but she also provided us with a prettier version of our marriage certificate to frame and show off. Gina was also extremely efficient at submitting our official marriage paperwork because we had our “legal” marriage certificate in the mail once we got back from our honeymoon!

I cannot stress how happy we are with having hired Gina to officiate our wedding! I have the most memorable ceremony that I can cherish for the rest of my life because of her.

Wonderful Experience!

Gina was the dream officiant for us! She respected all of our wishes and provided guidance when we needed it. Gina made time to walk through our script during the planning process and made sure we felt prepared! On our wedding day, she visited us both individually for a final check, and it felt like she was a family friend we'd known for years. Afterward, she followed up to check in to make sure our marriage certificate was processed. We would highly recommend Gina to anyone looking for a kind, thoughtful, responsive, and wonderful officiant!

Gina is the best!

Gina S. was our wedding officiant and we are so glad we found her. She was so kind and calm during the whole process and always made us feel at ease when reviewing everything for our ceremony. She remained on schedule and kept the ceremony light, sweet, and made everyone laugh with the story she told about us. We were a non-denominational multicultural wedding and Gina made sure to highlight the joining of our families and cultures in the sweetest way possible. We can't thank you enough Gina!
