About

I am an clergyperson with a professional background in building diverse, equitable and inclusive communities. I design and deliver ceremonies that (a) celebrate you as a couple, (b) celebrate the union of your families, and (c) invite gathered guests not only to witness your union but to bless it as they celebrate with you. Whether you are in an intercultural or interfaith relationship or members of the LGBTQ community, I would love to help you celebrate your union and prepare a meaningful ceremony that honors the commitment you're about to take on.

Pastor Shandi is Phenomenal!!

Pastor Shandi was an incredible officiant. I - as the bride - grew up at a church in Worcester, MA where Pastor Shandi was the primary Pastor for several years. Though he had moved away at the time of our initial engagement, I was so adamant that he marry us that I was actually planning on flying him in for our our ceremony (though luckily he ended up moving back to the area). Through our counseling sessions Pastor Shandi got to know us as a couple, and it was reflected throughout so many different aspects of our marriage ceremony. From the scripture passages we chose together, to the specific facts about how we met, and the course of our 6-year relationship pre-marriage during the sermon, it was clear that he had really taken the time to create a personalized ceremony for us. I have no regrets, and many of our friends and family commented on what a special (and NOT BORING) ceremony it was. Don't hesitate to have Pastor Shandi officiate your ceremony - just know you'll also have some homework to do as a couple too.

Meaningful & Personal

Pastor Shandi was such a special part of our wedding day. Having him officiate meant so much to me personally, as he was my family’s pastor growing up, and it made the experience feel incredibly full-circle as we began this next chapter together.

He brought such warmth, intention, and calm energy to the entire process. Our ceremony felt deeply personal and meaningful, and it truly reflected us as a couple. It was everything we envisioned and more.

We are so grateful to have had him as part of our wedding journey. It would not have been the same without him.

Thank you, Pastor Shandi!

Everything I needed and more!

Pastor Shandi was absolutely perfect as our wedding officiant. Being of Zimbabwean descent as well, he was so attuned to all of our cultural needs as well as the religious ones, which made our ceremony feel incredibly personal and meaningful. The premarital counselling we had with him beforehand was also excellent thoughtful, helpful, and a really special part of the journey. He was always very responsive, professional, and supportive throughout. We couldn’t recommend him enough!

Best choice ever.

Right from the beginning, we were glad we chose Shandi to officiate our wedding. He responded right away when I sent my inquiry. He answered all of our questions very clearly and thoroughly and we had 2 zoom meetings and met us at rehersal! Everything went so smoothly. My guests remarked that they really enjoyed conversing with him. Overall he did a wonderful job! Thank you for your professionalism as well as the beautiful prayer you did at our ceremony. Best choice ever !!! Blessings.

Pastor Shandi was awesome, he is professional and very patient with a calm demeanor,

He helped us through our journey of getting married with pre- marital counseling and being the officiciant and man we learned so much and even though I was married previously for 22yrs I still learned so much from Pastor, he gave us activities to do every week to make learning interactive and he's very much a people person and did I mention patient? I can write a book but I won't. My husband and I wish we can keep him permanently! Try him out, I promise you will not be disappointed
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
