REFLECTING YOU…

Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life…and, the ceremony is its heart. With it you are reaching out to family & friends so they may join you in celebrating the love that you share. It marks the moment when you formally commit your love to each other. It is your opportunity to bring together all the elements that will represent your special love and care for one another.

I am dedicated to supporting you in having the wedding ceremony of your dreams.  Together we can create something that will truly express your unique message.

CREATING TOGETHER…

In our first meeting I will ask you a series of questions to discover your ideas & feelings about your ceremony. We will also explore different elements that are traditionally incorporated in a ceremony. It is a great time for us to get to know each other and for me to begin compiling your wish list to create a ceremony that will truly reflect both of you. You will leave with many ideas to choose from & some questions designed so I can learn what is most meaningful to each of you.  I will also provide examples of vows & ring vows, if you wish. Before our second meeting you’ll have time to discuss your choices & make your decisions.

At our second meeting we will review all of your choices & begin creating your special ceremony. 

   MY PHILOSOPHY…

Working with couples to create a fulfilling wedding experience is one of the most joyous parts of my life.

It is my work as a non-denominational minister to respect each couple’s unique spiritual/religious beliefs & through candid discussion seek to discover what suits them best; from the most traditional religious customs to no religious/spiritual customs. Your individual preferences are my highest priority to assure that the ceremony is an engaging experience for you and your family and friends, as well as a positive, fulfilling beginning to your lives together.
