Taylar Hamel
Ordained Minister in Bentonville, Arkansas
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
My journey to becoming an ordained minister began with a deeply personal mission: to unite my parents in marriage after nearly 30 years together. When their earlier vow exchange lacked legal recognition due to an unqualified officiant, I stepped in, earning my online ordination to ensure their love was celebrated properly. This experience, rooted in my diverse path through life ignited my passion for crafting meaningful, inclusive ceremonies. As a spiritual, open-minded minister, I’m dedicated to helping others—through weddings, vow renewals, spiritual guidance, Reiki healing, and more—create authentic, heartfelt moments that honor their unique journeys.
Where are you from?
I’m originally from Nevada, raised in Oregon and Florida, studied in California, lived in Colorado, and now call Arkansas home with my husband. This diverse journey shapes my empathetic, open-minded approach to creating meaningful ceremonies for you.
What do you hope to achieve with your online ordination?
As a deeply spiritual person unbound by any single church, I aim to guide others through life’s sacred moments with empathy and an open heart. My online ordination empowers me to serve couples, families, and individuals across all beliefs—religious, spiritual, or secular—offering personalized ceremonies like weddings, vow renewals, and handfastings, as well as spiritual support through counseling, Reiki healing, and rituals like house blessings. Shaped by my journey through Nevada, Oregon, Florida, California, Colorado, and now Arkansas, I’m passionate about filling the gap for inclusive, heartfelt spiritual care. My goal is to create meaningful, authentic experiences that honor your unique path and foster connection, peace, and joy.
Religious Affiliations

Additional Information
While I grew up surrounded by my parents’ Catholic faith, I was never baptized or tied to a specific church, fostering a lifelong openness to all spiritual paths. My studies in Classical Civilization, enriched by time in Italy, Germany, Spain, and Greece, deepened my appreciation for diverse beliefs and rituals, from ancient traditions to modern practices. This global perspective, combined with my journey through Nevada, Oregon, Florida, California, Colorado, and now Arkansas, shapes my inclusive approach as a minister. Whether crafting weddings, offering spiritual guidance, or providing Reiki healing, I honor every client’s unique beliefs with empathy, creating authentic, meaningful experiences.
