“Weddings are celebrations! We will celebrate your marriage as well as celebrating your relationships with the people who have been special parts of your lives. So let’s plan a ceremony which is real, personal, and a true celebration of your step into your marriage. It can include the traditional as well as the unique.Tell me what will delight you on this day and we’ll go from there.
I have been officiating at weddings for many years and have a vast array of ideas to add to this creative process.From the church to the haunted house, to the park, the backyard, the beach, in hot air balloons, in the grand ballroom or on horseback in a field, where eve you want to gather your community, we’ll plan a ceremony that represents you and honors this beginning of your marriage.“
