Your Wedding Your Way ...
                                                                   ... meaningful ceremonies since 1994

Congratulations on your engagement! As an ordained Interfaith minister, I specialize in wedding ceremonies that are meaningful, personalized, tailored to your wishes, and respectful of your faith or individual spiritual path. 

You Choose the Place - At home, outdoors, indoors, hotel, reception site, chapel, church, hot air balloon, on the Rio Grande, at the top of the Sandias . . . you choose the location.

Simple, Grand, or In-between - Whatever your wishes, I will perform a wedding ceremony that celebrates your marriage, your way.

Traditional or Custom - You can have all the elements of a traditional wedding, some of them, or a ceremony that is customized.

A Ceremony that Reflects You as a Couple - Perhaps you wish to have a traditional ceremony. Or, a unique marriage ceremony is for you, but you don't have the specifics. I will compose a wedding ceremony that reflects the two of you as a couple based on discussions about your values, preferences, and styles.

Your Way - If you have specific ideas for your wedding, these can be incorporated into your ceremony. For example, if you would like to include friends, family members, or children in your ceremony, I will be happy to create ways for them to participate in the ceremony with you.

Your Timing - Whether you have been making arrangements for your wedding for months or just a short time, I will be happy to work with you. Special consideration will be given to couples facing military deployment or other urgent situations.

Choosing an Officiant is Highly Personal
I am happy to meet with you at no obligation, of course, as you explore your options for a wedding officiant.  Just give me a call or email and we can set up a time and place to get acquainted and answer your questions.  The person that you choose to be your wedding officiant should be a fit for you.

Some of the reasons why couples have chosen my services: 

• They have been referred by a friend, family member, wedding professional, or have attended a ceremony that I have performed.
• The bride and groom wish to have a deeply meaningful, memorable, inclusive, and personal wedding ceremony.
• The bride and groom are from different faith or cultural backgrounds and wish to have a ceremony that honors both traditions.
• The couple wants a spiritual rather than just a civil ceremony.
• The couple wishes to have an experienced minister to help them have a most beautiful wedding day that sets the tone for a lifetime.
