About

Whether your tastes are traditional or lean more toward the unconventional, I believe all couples deserve a unique and personal ceremony. Working closely with you, I can help create a customized ceremony - incorporating rituals from your cultural and ethnic traditions, as well as elements that reflect your beliefs and personality.

I would be honored to help you create a memorable ceremony that celebrates your story together.

Frequently Asked Questions about Officiant

What officiant services do you provide?

Civil Union, Interfaith Ceremony, Non-religious Ceremony, Single Religion Ceremony

Can you accommodate the hearing impaired?

No

Are you willing to perform a ceremony at a non-religious site?

Absolutely! Your wedding ceremony can be in a park, on the beach, hotel, back yard - any where you choose.

What is your attire for the ceremony?

Depending on the weather, I wear a simple dress or a suit. I have also worn attire which complemented a particular ceremony. For example, I wore a salwar kameez, a traditional Indian outfit, for a wedding that incorporated Indian traditions.

Are you flexible in the wording used throughout the ceremony, including the vows?

Definitely! The very nature of a Celebrant ceremony is that the ceremony is unique to the couple getting married. In fact, the couples with whom I work are very involved in the ceremony creation; every word I say in a ceremony is approved by the couple. If there is particular wording a couple desires, I will incorporate it into the ceremony.

Do you allow the couple to write their own vows, if desired?

Yes, many couples choose to write their own vows. On the other hand, some people like to have a little help, so I provide samples from which they can borrow. Either way, I'm available to help guide the process, if needed.

Do you have a list of readings pre-selected, from which the couple must choose?

No. I can offer suggestions, but the couple chooses their own readings. Or- they can choose to have none at all!

Do you require that premarital counseling be done?

No.

Are you willing to perform pre-ceremony rehearsals?

Yes, I will do a complete rehearsal with the couple and their bridal party prior to the ceremony.

I had the joy of marrying Molly and Matt last fall. I absolutely fell in love with their families. And while I wasn't able to get Molly's parents to adopt me, her Dad still gets major points in my book. Watch the video and you'll see why. Have a tissue handy!
