I am a non-denominational minister
ordained by the
I
originally became ordained to perform weddings for my friends and family. Once
I performed my first wedding, I knew that this was my calling in life.
Officiating weddings is one of my greatest joys in life. The moment when two
people hold hands, look into each other’s eyes and exchange vows is the most
touching moment in a couple’s lives, and I feel grateful to be apart of that
union.
I have been performing weddings since 2000 and have married hundreds of couples! Please visit my "Comments From Couples" page to see what some couples have said about my services
There are several different
ways we can create your ceremony together. When you book your date with me, I
will provide you with a Wedding Package. This includes several sample
ceremonies, sample readings, and samples of various parts of the ceremony
(opening words, ring vows, vows, question of intent, etc etc)
You can write the entire wedding ceremony from beginning to end using the Wedding Package, by making it up, using the web or a wedding book – there are an endless supply of resources for you to use.
You
can write the vows and I can write the rest of the ceremony for you

I can and will marry you anywhere in
I

What do you
wear when you are
officiating a ceremony?
Basically, I will wear whatever you
want me to wear. If you want me to dress up in a chicken suit, I will do it! My
normal attire a basic black suit.
Do you charge for
extra meetings or
rehearsal’s?
I do not charge extra for planning meetings. I will
meet with you as many times as you need to help you write your vows and put
together your ceremony. I do charge extra for rehearsals, however the fee varies depending on the location of the wedding and the time of the rehearsal. When you e-mail me all of your ceremony information, I will give you a personalized rate quote.
Do we have to
meet with you before booking you?
In
these busy times we often find ourselves with little or no moments to spare. If
this is the case with you – or if you live too far away to meet with me
beforehand, then we can make all of the arrangements over phone or e-mail. I do offer a reduced rate package for the couple who chooses to book me via e-mail without any face to face meetings. You
can mail me the deposit to hold your date, or you can pay via paypal on my “Rates” page.
Do you include
religious content in your ceremony?
No.
Not unless you specifically request me to!
The state requires you to have two
witnesses for your marriage license. The only requirement is that they be
present during the ceremony, and are over 18 years of age. I can NOT be a
witness because I am officiating the ceremony. If you
are short on witnesses, I can provide them for you. No, your Dog or Cat cannot
be a witness.
Call or e-mail me first to
find out if I am available on your wedding date. Next, we can arrange a time to
meet, so you can get to know me, and decide if you would like me to perform you
wedding ceremony. If you decide at the meeting that you would like me to
officiate, you can fill out my contract and give me a deposit to hold your date. At this time I will give you my “Wedding Ceremony” book. You may also choose to go home and think about it (perfectly
acceptable, I want to make sure that you are comfortable with me!) and then
mail me a check or pay the deposit through paypal, at which time I can snail
mail or e-mail the Wedding Ceremony book.
People wonder this. Some people ask, some people just wonder. I was born in 1972. You do the math!
