Ministerial SErvices
I was ordained on May 12, 2016 in the Universal Life Church. I can legally perform services in most of the fifty states. Whether you want a religious or agnostic ceremony I am here to help you. Your ceremony can be traditional, contemporary, or simple. It’s your wedding and it should be the way you want it to be. Perhaps you are planning a destination wedding and cannot find a minister to officiate the ceremony. Or perhaps you want a simple, quick wedding but don't want to use a Justice of the Peace because it is just too impersonal. Whatever your situation is, I am willing to sit down with you and customize a plan, a script if you will, that meets your needs and wants. Scroll down to learn more about customization ideas and services other than weddings. At the bottom of the page you will find a form to request services, the first step in getting us together to talk about your special day.
There are many traditions stemming from cultures across the globe that pertain to the joining of two people together. Hand fasting is one such tradition. Emma and Jonathan chose to add this to their ceremony. Pictured here are the ribbon and a ring box that was made by the groom.

Customize your ceremony
If you want to incorporate a special ceremony within the ceremony such as hand-fasting, candle lighting, broom jumping, glass stomping, tree planting, or a sand ceremony that is very doable. If you want to sacrifice a live animal...call someone else, my open mind only stretches so far.
Literally tying the knot. The hand fasting signifies the joining of the two spirits while the rings signify the physical joining of the couple. Both traditions were included in this ceremony. Photograph courtesy of Mike and Barbara MacLeod of Studio MacLeod, http://www.studiomacleod.photos/
Not Getting Married?
It’s not just weddings. Ministerial services are not relegated to weddings. I am available for baptisms, hand-fasting (and other ceremonies), burials, and other ceremonies. Submit the form at the bottom of the page to contact me.
Nothing is official until the documents are signed and submitted to the county clerk...just ignore RJ on a stick, he couldn't be there in person.

Whether you get married on top of a mountain or under a waterfall, my desire is to make sure you are smiling at the end!
