I've known I wanted to be a wedding minister since I was 15 years old. Nothing captures my interest and imagination quite like designing a wedding ceremony.

 

There have been many social and geo-political developments since that day when I first began to dream of a wedding ministry. More than ever before, people of all faiths and backgrounds are coming together in love. The LGBT+ community has become more accepted by the mainstream population, but still stringently rejected by many "traditional" institutions. With this changing global awareness comes questions and concerns about rites that are steeped in distinct cultural and religious traditions, such as weddings.

 

Many people who have interfaith, intercultural, same-sex, and otherwise non-mainstream relationships are concerned that they must choose a de-personalized courthouse ceremony,  go along with whatever wedding ceremony is offered at a local house of worship, or not have a ceremony at all.

 

This is not so! Nor should it be. Moreso than your colors, catering, and wedding clothing, the ceremony is the greatest chance for you to show off your tastes, beliefs, and backgrounds. As the centerpiece of your wedding, the ceremony should be where you tell the world who you are as partners and as individuals.

 

As a minister I am dedicated to making each wedding a true reflection of the people being married. Each wedding I plan is distinctive, since rather than foist a wedding format onto my clients, I am a co-creator, leading them through the process of designing their own, unique ceremony that caters to THEIR wedding needs. After all, it's YOUR day...why not truly make it all about you?
