Personal, Non-denominational Weddings with Heart
As an ordained minister (not an internet minister), I joyfully offer non-denominational wedding ceremonies for those looking for a spiritual, non-religious wedding. I will create and deliver an elegant, personalized service that is customized to reflect your wishes, values, heritage and culture. I do use the term God or Higher Power, whichever you prefer, and am also happy to add Jewish, Buddhist or Muslim prayers.
Experience You Can Trust
After officiating more than 500 weddings, I understand how to guide couples through the entire process with ease and confidence.
I work closely with your photographer, DJ, musicians, and wedding planner to ensure the ceremony flows beautifully so you can simply relax and enjoy the moment.
A Ceremony Guests Will Remember
Many couples tell me their guests say afterward: "That was the most beautiful ceremony I’ve ever attended."
There is nothing more meaningful to me than helping couples start their marriage surrounded by love, intention, and joy.
