About
I enjoy officiating weddings and will strive to make your special day meaningful and stress-free. I am professional and dependable.
I am committed to celebrating love in all its forms and am honored to officiate:
• Christian and non-religious services
• Indoor or outdoor ceremonies
• Elopements or weddings planned years in advance
• Formal or informal gatherings
• Unions for all couples, including same-sex weddings
I also offer premarital counseling through the Prepare/Enrich program for an extra fee.
I will gladly travel to a location of your choice (note that I do not do weddings at private residences for safety reasons), or if you are looking for a beautiful location for your wedding, the church where I am a pastor offers options in the chapel and sanctuary for an extra fee.
