Introduction

Wedding Officiant of Northwest Indiana and Southwest Michigan since 2011 Themed, Traditional, Non-Traditional, Symbolic or Traditional Style Ceremonies. Various venues and locations across the Northwest Indiana region Prices range from $150.00 to $350.00 I am passionate about creating the wedding ceremony that meets the wishes and desires of each couple. From the consultation to the signing and filing of the marriage license of each couple is a privilege. Every couple is unique and so is their wedding ceremony. * If you live outside of Northwest Indiana and are planning a ceremony within Northwest Indiana, I offer Zoom to connect with my couples. It is a convenient online platform for those who cannot meet in person. You do not need a Zoom license or App to utilize it. It is like Skype, with better capabilities.

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

My wedding ceremony packages range from $150.00 to $300.00 There are special times in the year where discounts and specials are offered!

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

My process for each couple is to meet for a consultation via private Zoom or by phone. There is no charge for any of my consultations. It is important to find out the wishes of my couples, because every ceremony is unique and special. These are the types of questions I do ask with couples in consultation * I offer to meet via my Zoom Platform for those who are not able to meet in person and would like a face to face consultation. Zoom is where the couple and I can see one another, much like Skype, with better capabilities. You do not need a Zoom license or App to utilize it.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

Ordained Interfaith Minister - American Institute of Holistic Theology (2011) Doctorate in Ministry (D.Min) with an emphasis in Spiritual Wellness (2021) from New Seminary Certificate - SYMBIS Assessment Facilitator (2021) Couples Marriage Assessment Certificate - Cancer Care Leadership Training (2014) Membership- ACPE - The Standard For Pastoral Education

How did you get started doing this type of work?

My joy began when I got married and to attend other couples ceremonies was so much fun. To be the Maid of Honor was exhilarating in the planning, creating and celebrating. It is my joy and passion to create wedding ceremonies that meet the wishes and dreams of couples for their special day.

What types of customers have you worked with?

Each couple I have worked with are unique and special. They want the wedding ceremony day to reflect their personalities.

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

I have enjoyed bringing to life an actual Marriage Box that is used in the ceremony. The Marriage Box comes from an actual poem that describes what goes into a marriage.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

To consider your Venue with great thought as to weather i.e. can your elderly family sit in the sun or is there a possibility of rain. Also, if your Venue is the same as your reception, it is helpful for your DJ or Musician. They will not have to pack up and move to another location.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

What type of ceremony do you prefer i.e. Spiritual, Non-Denominational, Symbolic, Traditional or Religious? Determine if a rehearsal is needed, especially if you have a wedding party? Would you like to have someone reading a poem or other reading at your ceremony? Do you and your Fiancé choose to write your own Vows?
