What do you think makes your ceremonies special as a Sioux Falls, SD wedding officiant?
I love the celebration of life. Most of the couples I have married, I was their premarital counselor before their ceremony. As they have gotten to know me in their premarital counseling a great relationship was created. These relationships have lasted many years. When things get tough in their marriage or in their lives they feel comfortable enough to reach out to me a marriage counselor to help them navigate their life challenges.
Are there particular areas near you where you prefer to travel or have special experience?
I am located in the midwest and prefer to travel centrally. I will not perform any ceremony on the east coast.
