Shannon Ashen
Ordained Minister in Ventnor City, New Jersey
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
I have been in the Hospitality industry for over 30 years now and mainly in Events. I have personally planned over 500 weddings from beginning introductions of venues through execution of the ceremony and reception day. I became ordained as a "back up" in case we had anyone that was unable to show up and officiate the ceremony. This put all my weddings at ease knowing they didn't have to worry about it.
Where are you from?
Originally born and raised in Annapolis, Maryland. Now a current resident of the Jersey Shore, in Ventnor City.
What do you hope to achieve with your online ordination?
I wish to still engage with couples as they share this very special day, however didn't want to still be the planner of the weddings.
Religious Affiliations
Universal Life Church
What do you think makes your ceremonies special as a Ventnor City, NJ wedding officiant?
