The “5 W’s” Explain It Best…
Who and What: Besides being an Interfaith Minister, I’m an experienced and professional Wedding Officiant, which means I listen with an open heart, create a ceremony reflective of a couple’s personal views and religious or non-religious path, and officiate the ceremony with professionalism and care.
Where: Basically anywhere. Getting married at a church, hotel, the park, the beach, your backyard? You pick the location and I’ll be there! My office has a pretty ceremony section that is available at no additional charge.
When: Basically any time and any day. I am available weekdays, nights and weekends…and holidays too!
Why: Because I absolutely love what I do! Each ceremony touches my heart, and my life is forever changed from the experience.
