Wedding and Vow Renewal Ceremonies

​Celebrate YOUR day YOUR way!
​You may want a small and intimate gathering or large and joyous party or something in-between. I can marry YOU, where you want and when you want. Any style, and way. You can have a themed, fun, romantic, traditional, spiritual, sunrise, full moon or breakfast wedding .... the list goes on!
​
Your wedding ceremony captures the love between you both. It is the heart of your special day. Your wedding day should represent who you are and be what YOU want. Have a ceremony designed to your wishes that creates the first, stable stepping stone of your married life.   I welcome people from the LGBT community, all walks of life, religions, ethnicity and beliefs and will craft a ceremony to fit you. We can blend any enactments for your wedding day; hand-fastings, sand ceremonies, rose or tree planting, unity candles, wine box and love letter ceremony and rose/gift exchange. Let's talk to see what you need.
