About

I love weddings. They are a celebration of life's greatest relationships. If you want a joyful celebration where a couple is affirmed and blessed - by me and all your guests - then you might like a wedding that I officiate. I have two Masters degrees in theology. I have performed more than 100 weddings.

I love to see couples in love, to help them along the meaningful path of commitment, and to celebrate with them on the happiest occasion of their lives.

    Father Chris was incredible to work with - we could not have asked for a better person to guide us through our nuptial vows. We felt fully supported leading up to and on our day of celebration. Wholeheartedly recommend Father Chris as a spiritual guide for the exciting event of marriage.

    Frequently asked questions

    Getting to know a couple is crucial to a successful wedding - because a successful wedding is one that's personalized. I like to meet with a couple and get to know them, their backgrounds, their hopes and dreams, and to assist with any challenges they may be facing. 

    I also will help the couple craft the entire ceremony - taking into account what they want to see and hear - and offering any suggestions that can help meet their goals.

    I am a big fan of pre-marital counseling because I don't just want to be a part of a great wedding, but a great marriage.

    I have two master's degrees in theology and 20 years of ministry experience. I've celebrated the marriages of 100+ couples.

    In general, we get what we pay for. Your wedding is the most important event of your life. You want someone experienced and excited about you to run your ceremony.

    That said, $500 plus travel expenses for the ceremony, plus $200 for pre-marital counseling.

    I am also willing to work with couples if price is an issue.

    I sensed the call of Jesus on my life and simply followed it.

    All kinds, young, old, black, white, rich, poor, all who are looking to find God in their lives.

    The Royal Wedding with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

    Again, you get what you pay for.

    What kind of ceremony is going to resonate best with the kind of commitment they are making at their wedding?

    Are there special readings that are particularly meaningful to a couple?

    What kind of music do they (and their guests) want to hear at their wedding?
