The “5 W’s” Explain It Best…
Who and What: As a self-employed Interfaith Minister and experienced Wedding Officiant, I will listen with an open heart and create a ceremony reflective of your personal views. On your wedding day, you can rest assured that I will officiate your ceremony with the same professionalism and care as I have with hundreds of weddings and other types of ceremonies.
Where: Anywhere! Getting married at a church, hotel, the park, the beach, your backyard? You pick the location and I’ll be there!
If you do not have a venue, there are two choices at my location:
My office at no additional fee or the new Ceremony Room for a fee of $50.
Photos of the new room will be available soon. Please see more information under the Pricing tab.
When: 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.
It’s Never Too Early to Book Your Officiant
Officiants get booked as early as photographers and other vendors do! Once you have decided on the date, time and venue, it’s time to start the search. Please call or email me to find out my availability or fill out the easy form on the Contact page.
