Wedding Minister
About
The ceremonies I provide are not cookie cutter tyes. Each ceremony is customized to the couples' wishes. I also offer to include family traditions and special requests of each client.
I love being able to provide couples with a ceremony that is meaningful to them. I've been performing wedding and vow renewal ceremonies since 2010 and have experience with multiple cultures, etc.
I do not require any classes or commitments to a specific religious group. I am a religious and spiritual person but do not press my views onto my clients. I am ordained through World Christianship Ministries.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Through email and phone I get specifics such as type of ceremony,special additions i.e. including children, mentioning loved ones passed, unity (candle, sand, wine), lover's knot, etc. I provide sample ceremonies for review and then customized. A draft is sent to the couple for review and editing prior to wedding day. Typically we'll not meet until the wedding or rehearsal but I'm available to meet before if requested.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I received my ordainmenet in 2010 and have been performing wedding ceremonies ever since. I've received wonderful reviews from past clients listed on another website.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.
Most weddings are priced at $200 within 60 miles of my location. Most of the time I am not needed at the rehearsal, but if requested an additional $60 fee. I'm available most holidays/holiday weekends at an additional $40 fee.
For most future date weddings I will request a $50 deposit which is refundable up until two months prior to the wedding with the balance due on the day of the wedding.
How did you get started in this business?
Many couples were telling of difficulties getting married in specific churches. Also I wanted to offer something more personal than going to the Justice of the Peace courtroom to get married. Performing ceremonies brings me much joy and I try to reduce the stress so couples can enjoy their special occasion.
What types of customers have you worked with?
I've worked with customers form all walks of life. Various cultures, ethnic and religious backgrounds, including same sex marriages. From the private and small ceremonies to large events of over 200. Location is not an issue, I've performed ceremonies in parks, homes, the beach, restaurants, hotels, venues, a deer lease off a dirt road, etc. My goal is to provide the type of ceremony each couple desires and to be prompt, professional, and caring.
