About
I am an ordained minister with a passion for marriage!
At 40 years old, my wife and I have been married over 20 years (we got married at 18!) and I love being a part of people's special day!
I am an ordained minister (Christian) and I can officiate your service and/or provide premarital counseling in a variety of formats.
I have been doing this for over 10 years and have been so blessed to do weddings ranging from 3 piece suits in ornate wedding venues to jeans in a country chic field - the day is yours!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I love to find out what the bride and groom envision! Is it formal, casual, shabby chic? Is it a large, open gathering or an intimate time of close family and friends? What is important to YOU to have (or not have) in the ceremony?
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been a fulltime minister for over a decade and have had the prividlege of officiating many weddings during that time (one of my very favorite things to do)!
Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
Ask questions! Always find out if the officiant is open to YOUR ideas on the ceremony - do you want to add things, take things away, do a different "order"? Are you looking for a serious affair, bouts of humor, short and sweet?
Ask, if you like, about the availability of premarital counseling.
