We so enjoyed working with you, and literally every one of our guests commented on how it was the most thoughtful and touching ceremony they had ever witnessed. We absolutely feel the same way. Thank you for crafting a ceremony that was special, unique, and which reflected both of us.”

"I wanted to write you to let you know how wonderful you were on our wedding day! And it's not just us- we were told the same by so many of our wedding guests. You did an amazing job, from the very first meeting we had, in making our ceremony exactly what we wanted filled with love, joy, peace, happiness, and, of course, God. During the ceremony, you helped us both feel calm. When at one point I felt overwhelmed with emotion, I looked at you and your smile put me right back on track!
Also, my parents and grandparents, all of whom are fairly traditional Catholics, loved the ceremony. That meant a lot to me, and I think it is truly a testament to a job extraordinarily well done on your part..."

MINISTERIAL SERVICE
Marriage is one of the most complex and rich of all human relationships. Entering into union with another is a process which, like the relationship itself, requires dedication, reflection, and commitment. Weddings are a celebration of the past, present, and future of the relationship between two people, and should reflect the unique backgrounds and personalities that characterize those who are taking this significant step, and honor what each brings to the union and to each other.
Unitarian Universalism honors all traditions and theologies, and as a Unitarian Universalist minister, this principle is fundamental to my contribution to the marriages I officiate. I am dedicated to incorporating all elements of the couple's beliefs and wishes in order to create a ceremony which is as unique as the union it celebrates, and the individuals it unites. I have extensive experience with interfaith and both traditional and non-traditional ceremonies. I work with each couple to understand the meaning, character, and significance of their union to contribute to both their own understanding of the event in which they formalize it, and to have this event represent their perspective and desires.
I typically meet with couples for several sessions prior to the event and have a wealth of material for all aspects of the ceremony which I provide. I am also available to discuss availability, fees, and logistical matters by telephone or email prior to confirming the event.
I look forward to working with you to make this life event the great and meaningful experience you envision.
