About

Brides and grooms often overlook the importance of the person who will actually be conducting their wedding ceremony. They place great care in a place, date, and time, but do not consider that the ceremony will not go forward without an officiant.

Marriage is such a beautiful experience. You should savor and enjoy every day of it - grow with it. Each couple is unique but together we can create a personalized wedding ceremony that celebrates your day - your way.

I am a non-denominational officiant and the couple is the complete focus of the ceremony. It is your special day and I will work with you to make your wedding a day to be remembered.

As an ordained Clergy I will solemnize your marriage, complete your marriage certificate and submit your license to the County Clerk. I can also assist in coordinating the events of the day. I am very organized, punctual, friendly and persuasive. These are all qualities that are needed to pull off the big day.

Performing weddings is very rewarding to me. It has given me the opportunity to meet a variety of people, assist them in creating their ceremony and then meeting their families, friends and guests. I personally benefit from the words, inspirations and positive energies that come from performing these ceremonies.

I offer a variety of ceremony styles and vows and can make them what you want. I can perform anything from a simple elopement ceremony to a traditional chapel ceremony. The style of ceremony is yours entirely. Religious, Spiritual or Non-religious ceremonies, Contemporary, Involving Family, non-denominational... all of the ceremonies are meaningful and beautiful to make your wedding memorable.

It would be my honor to perform your wedding, elopement, vow renewal or commitment ceremony.

(You must obtain your marriage license prior to the ceremony being performed. You should obtain the license in the city hall or town office where you live. Bring the license to your ceremony. I will then complete and return to the proper place.)

(Two witness 18 years or older are required at the ceremony)
