About

My name is Vanessa Waters. As an Ordained Interfaith Minister and Wedding Officiant of 16 years, I have studied many great religions, philosophies, traditions and lifestyles. Whether you choose a traditional or non-traditional wedding, I can help you create a unique ceremony that you will completely resonate with and that will fully engage your guests. I will create your ceremony as you would like it to be... non-denominational religious, non- religious, civil, same sex union or interfaith ceremony and always based upon your beliefs, traditions and wishes.

My commitment to you is to make your wedding day a truly special one. Whether you are from different religious backgrounds, have been previously married, wish to marry on short notice or renew your vows, I will come to you either in your home or another location of your choosing. I want every couple I serve to have a ceremony that is perfect for them.

Simply amazing!

Vanessa skillfully forged a heartfelt bond with both my partner and me before our elopement ceremony, fostering a sense of ease and comfort throughout the entire occasion. As a same-sex couple, we needed to choose a wedding officiant who not only embraced inclusivity but also exuded professionalism, qualities that Vanessa exemplified flawlessly. Vanessa curated a hospitable atmosphere, centering our special day on our shared love as a couple. The presence of Vanessa as our officiant was integral to the essence of our elopement ceremony.

Best Officiant Ever!

Vanessa did a beautiful job of conducting our wedding ceremony. She made it personable and so memorable for my husband and I. We ran into some hiccups with obtaining our marriage license due to my husbands career and Vanessa went out of her way to help us and found a way for us to get our marriage license in time for our wedding. We are forever grateful for her!!

Amazing service!

I have no words!! Vanessa was the best officiant for us! She was very calm and polite during each of our meets and when it came down to the big day she excelled & went above and beyond to help me calm my nerves. She helped me do things that were not on her to-do list. She incorporated my culture into the ceremony which was very meaningful to me and my family. I appreciate her very much and think she is not only an amazing officiant but an amazing woman as well. My guests love how she worded the ceremony and we still get tons of compliments on her! Vanessa thank you for being a part of our big day!
