Pr. Samuel, Ceremonies & Counseling

Introduction: Hello and congratulations on your wedding! I am an evangelical ordained minister with more than a decade of experience in wedding ceremonies and family counseling. I can do ceremony in English, Portuguese and Spanish. I will work closely with you to create a personalized wedding, renewal of vows or elopement ceremony that incorporates the uniqueness of your relationship. I offer very reasonable prices, quality service and if my schedule permits I am available and ready on short notice and for any type venue, including church, parks, beaches, backyards or our church chapel; elopement type ceremonies are especially suited for these, requiring less advanced planning and minimal budgetary expense. However you decide to celebrate your wedding, in simplicity or in extravagance, with a few people or with many friends, quietly or with a flourish, I will give my best to make sure your wedding is a symbol of the commitment of love you have to one another and of gratitude to God for bringing you together. Counseling- I’m a marriage and family counselor specializing in couples counseling for more than ten years. My work is so gratifying, because I’ve seen couples go through the worst and come out closer than ever. If you would like to to make an appointment I will send you a pre-session questionnaire for you to fill out prior to the first session. My counseling session takes between 50-60 minutes, it can be done by phone/video conference, in my office on Fairland Road, Silver Spring MD. or some pre-arranged location. The investment for each session is $75 and you can pay it at the time you make the appointment using Cash App, Venmo or Zelle. We do have a 24 hours cancellation of appointment policy. You can cancel or reschedule your appointment without penalty within 24hours of your scheduled time. Premarital Counseling- The decision to get married will impact one’s life more deeply than almost any decision in life. Yet people continue to rush into marriage with little or no preparation for making a marriage successful. In fact, many couples give far more attention to making plans for the wedding than making plans for marriage. The wedding festivities last only a few hours, while the marriage, we hope, will last for a lifetime.
