About

I was ordained through the universal life church in June of 2003. Since that time, I’ve devoted a great deal of thought to the preparation of various wedding ceremonies, and I discovered the best approach is based on the thoughts and ideas of the couple who are being married. I believe each wedding ceremony is as unique as the two people being joined in marriage.

Your wedding day will be a lasting memory for the both of you and I would consider it an honor to be your wedding celebrant. I have a background in teaching and have given many presentations in front of large gatherings of people, so I am comfortable with any size group. I consider myself to be very friendly, outgoing, and easily able to establish a good rapport with others.

Services Offered

I really enjoy meeting with couples before the wedding to talk about their ideas. It is my aim to curate a ceremony that feels authentic to them and their love. I perform interfaith and non-religious ceremonies, as well as civil unions and vow renewals. A rehearsal can also be arranged before the event, helping to ensure that the occasion goes smoothly. Typically, a ceremony vow exchange lasts approx.30 minutes.

Excellent Wedding Officiant

We chose Rev. Carl for our wedding officiant, and we are so glad we did. From our first initial email to the signing of the marriage license, he guided us every step of the way. He is so easy going and pleasure to talk too. He handled every aspect of our custom ceremony with caring, concern and professionalism, allowing us to be as involved as we wanted. We were extremely pleased with the outcome. My wife has referred Rev. Carl on to couples she knows, who are getting married in the near future.

Wonderful service!

I was the Maid of Honor at my best friend's wedding where Rev. Carl was the Officiant. I was so impressed by the beautiful ceremony and the response from her wedding guests, that I asked for his phone number. One thing that I liked about Carl is that he really listens to what the couple wants. We had a face to face meeting where we went over a ceremony outline. We discussed pretty much every detail of our ceremony...(He even drew pictures to make sure we were understanding everything).
Carl was at the rehearsal which we ran through a few times, just to make sure everyone knew where to stand and what to do. Then on our actual wedding day, he arrived early and "checked-in" with everyone to see if we had any questions or needed anything. This was nice because I knew our officiant was "In the house". The ceremony was better than I thought it could be! Everyone complemented us on it...partially because of one surprise he added (which I won't tell)...but the guests loved it.
I cannot say enough nice things about Rev. Carl and the wonderful service he provided.

Absolutely Perfect!

I couldn't have wished for a more beautiful ceremony that Rev Carl provided for my Daughter and her new husband. He managed to capture their personalities and made it really special and unique. It was absolutely perfect! I was also thrilled that he helped to make sure my Grandson was included in this union. So many of my friends and family told me that it was the most beautiful wedding ceremony they have ever been to, that was so nice to hear. I would highly recommend this wedding officiant.
