I’m told I’m “easy to work with,” because I believe your wedding should be a time of joy, not stress. Your wedding is one of the most important days of your life. On that day you covenant - promise - before God, family and friends to spend your future together, in good times and in tough times as well.
Your wedding day is truly “the first day of the rest of your life” for once the ceremony is over you are a new family and the future is yours to create, mold, shape, transform, give rise to, etc. The possibilities are endless.
I am an ordained United Church of Christ, Congregational minister who has performed well over a hundred weddings: church weddings, weddings in halls and parks and backyards, same sex weddings and opposite sex weddings, Christian-Jewish weddings, Christian-Hindu weddings, vow renewals, and many other relationships as well. I consider it an honor and a privilege to work with wedding couples and their families to make their wedding ceremony special for them.

As a Minister of Her Walking Prayer, and Keeper of Earth Song Medicine Ordained by the Center for Sacred Studies, my approach to ceremony is rooted in a Reverence for Earth-Based, Indigenous-Inspired Spirituality. Therefore, Setting Sacred Space, Invoking Spirit, Honoring the Earth and all Our Relations, Aligning with the Seven Sacred Directions, and Calling in Ancestors are essential elements in any ceremony I perform.
I invite you to enter with me into a deep listening space, that we may hear the words that will become vows, imagine the memories that will become immortal, and envision the symbols that will become eternal as we weave together the threads of your hearts, histories and hopes through the loom of Sacred Commitment. My gift is in being able to capture the essence of who you are, channeling your hearts' desires into a sequence of sacred incantations and precious moments that crystalize, fortify and memorialize your Love.
A vow is a vibration of truth and, when honored, vows have the potential to determine our destinies, design our dreams and clear a path to a deeper Self-discovery of Karmic Joy.
As your Life Celebrant, I will escort you on an Open Heart Journey into the Center of yourSelves and the Source of your Inner Knowing that we may receive Divine Guidance and Authentic Inspiration for creating vows and rituals that will liberate, contain and sustain the true vibration of your Love.

If prefer to use your own officiant, just let us know. You may invite an ordained clergy member of another faith to perform your wedding ceremony if s/he has spiritual or theological training and is recognized as a faith leader. Because we are an active church, only clergy may officiate; no civil celebrants.
