I believe, and have been told many times, the wedding ceremony I performed was the most beautiful, meaningful, personal and fun ever. I have several types of ceremonies; Christian, non denominational, non-religious, varying cultures, including Celtic or even completely original. For those wanting a personal wedding, I will provide a questionnaire. The couples answers to each question are woven throughout the ceremony and the result is always tears of joy and joyful laughter. I believe there are times in life when we pass through a threshold and enter into a new aspect of our journey. Events like graduations, marriages, births, and loss require a ceremony or ritual to assist us in the change that will follow the event. I fully grasp how momentous the occasion of the wedding is for a couple and the changes that will follow. I have an ability to read people and intuitively understand their needs in the moment and to guide them through any stress they may be experiencing. I most love about my work is watching a groom as he sees his bride, for the first time, as she begins the walk down the aisle toward him. Listening to couples, who are deeply moved by the vows they chose which convey the promises they make to one another, is awe inspiring. Seeing the love in the eyes of a couple as they say "I Will" or “I Do”. These moments stay with me. Each ceremony is a unique experience and whether the couples are young or mature I know I am blessed to be included in their special moment.

I have officiated hundreds of weddings over the past 38 years. People love my ceremonies because I am all about giving the bride and groom the wedding of their dreams.

I believe in creating a ceremony that reflects the couple. Whether you desire writing your vows or choosing from prewritten. Your ceremony needs to be one that represents you. I also perform specialty ceremonies; handfasting, jumping the broom, candle, wine, sand, and poetry reading. Your wedding is written to reflect you! My husband can take non-professional photos for you and supply you with the SD card of all the pictures for a $75 fee, and be one of the 2 witnesses required if needed! $50 Military discount.
