Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?

I originally became an ordained minister online because a close friend asked me to officiate their wedding, and I wanted to make it official the right way. It started as something simple and meaningful, but I ended up really enjoying being part of such a special moment.

Where are you from?

Chicago is home.

What do you hope to achieve with your online ordination?

I hope to use my online ordination as a tool to connect with people during their most meaningful life moments. It’s not about titles—it’s about creating space for love, commitment, and human connection in a way that’s sincere and memorable.

What do you think makes your ceremonies special as a Chicago, IL wedding officiant?

For me, it’s all about the connection. I bring emotion, warmth, and a little bit of magic into the ceremony. Love deserves to be celebrated in a way that’s both beautiful and memorable, and I always aim to make it a moment the couple—and everyone attending—will never forget.
