I have enjoyed helping couples create a ceremony that reflects their values and intentions for their life together. I’m comfortable with large or small weddings, with inter-faith marriages, and with those who want a spiritual but not necessarily religious ceremony. I believe that couples choosing to get married should have the opportunity, if they wish, to participate in the creation of their own wedding ceremony. I have a lot of experience in helping couples find ways and words to honor their spiritual values and create a ritual that has meaning for them. Sometimes the ceremony looks very traditional and sometimes it is less so. In all cases, I strive to create a mood and atmosphere that is sacred and heartfelt but not stiff and uncomfortable.
