My services include:

• A Meeting to discuss your requirement for your ceremony. A custom and personalized non-denominational wedding, suitable indoors or out, will be designed to your satisfaction with your ideas, suggestions and chosen vows. I perform a variety of wedding ceremonies on an almost daily schedule, which vary from the large traditional to the smaller more intimate and personal in nature. My agenda is to have your wedding ceremony reflect your desires.
  
• My assistance in designing a customized civil ceremony, Basic or Full. You will receive a ceremony package after a retainer has been received at our meeting, which includes all facets of a wedding ceremony and sample scripts.
  
• Customized Ceremony Book and Marriage Statement also filing of the Marriage Registration. This is your Dream Wedding; you are planning all the details. Every ‘couple’ that stands before me deserve to have an extraordinary and memorable experience. Your ceremony is what makes this day the most unique in your life.

If you or your future spouse has an Ethnic Identity, then by all means proudly show it. I offer an innovative method in which I can enable you to achieve your dream through a creative co-officiator of the ceremony. I will guide you through the additional complexities involved so that you will experience exactly what you desire while I ensure that all of the legal requirements are observed. I will integrate a brief civil ceremony about 10 minutes into you’re cultural ceremony.

I promote and encourage Family Ceremonies, for couples marrying with children of their own and/or with children from a previous relationship. A wedding is not just the legal binding of two people together; it is also the Spiritual Bonding of two families. However you decide to include your children in your exchange of vows, the goal is to help them identify that they are a crucial part of your equation, and the bond of love being celebrated in your ceremony has a special place just for them.
