Wedding Officiants in Gloversville, NY

I love the rituals and moments that help usher in new chapters in our lives and relationships. I love to take time with folks to craft custom ceremonies that honor the past, present, and future of your relationship and family structure. I gladly specialize in working with the following communities: LGBTQIA+, Neuro- Divergent, Blended Family, Multi-Faith, Celebrity/ High Profile, Destination, Nature-based/Woods/Beach, Irish, Christian, Polyamorous/Non-Monogamous, Kinky, Leather, Nerdy. I am glad to work with people on a ceremony for a quick elopement or a multi-hundred person wedding event. I am an ordained minister (a Dr. and A Rev.) in a progressive Christian denomination. That said, I officiate many ceremonies that are not inherently religious. But, I use my deep respect for the profound connection in your relationship and extensive experience curating connective moments for gathered community to create a transcendent experience for you and your guests. I am authorized to perform legal wedding ceremonies in MA and in other states as well (with a bit of advanced notice, so that I can register in that state). I am also more than happy to officiate ceremonies that might not be legally recognized, but are deeply important to those involved. Do reach out to chat more!

Call me or send me an email and I will set up a consultation with you, I will take your information and create a ceremony that will make your wedding day personal and heartfelt. 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.
