Introduction: I am pastor ordained in the United Methodist Church. In my 12 years serving with local churches I have conducted dozens of weddings. Most of the couples I work with are members of the community that I first meet as they are planning their wedding. I enjoy working with couples to create a wedding that celebrates their relationship and honors their traditions. While I am a Christian, I have experience working with non-religious couples and couples from different traditions to create a ceremony that is meaningful for them. I am happy to work with same-gender couples or non-binary individuals. My greatest joy in performing a wedding is engaging with a couple to explore the meaning of their marriage and find the words, music, and ritual elements that will celebrate their partnership with their family and friends.
