Introduction

I am a Non-Denominational/ Interfaith Ordained Minister that has performed 302 marriages and 167 through Thumbtack. My personal spirituality brings the best to what my client needs -- even if they request a non-religious ceremony. I love to share in making the service they need as personal as possible. All Christian Denominations, Same Sex, Pagan and Non religious Marriages welcome! I am 65 yrs young, and have 3 adult children, 6 precious grandkids, and absolutely LOVE what I do! I am truly humbled to be part of a couples' most memorable day. I take great care and pride in creating an individualized ceremony for each and every couple, based on their personalities, story and wishes. I have a library full of various unity traditions and readings to share to help plan your ceremony. I can customize anything according to your wishes. Please feel free to call me for a no-obligation phone interview to see if we are a good “fit”!
