Lisa Lucke

I became an ordained minister because I believe my comfort with public speaking, combined with my ability to bring a high level of humanity to important moments, results in a unique and memorable experience for everyone present.

I am a fourth-generation Jackson, CA, resident, but I was raised in San Leandro, CA (in the San Francisco Bay Area). I have been heavily influenced by the places where I have traveled in my life, including much of Central Europe, with an emphasis on Italy. I am primarily of Italian, Serbian, and Irish descent, and my ancestors were immigrants who settled in Amador County in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

My wish is to bring a meaningful, authentic, and memorable touch to significant life events for people and families.

I am not affiliated with any organized religion. I am a student of Buddhism and subscribe to the practices it embraces.

My ability to connect the participating couple to the attendees in an original way.

Fees do not include travel expenses (for events over 150 miles from me). Travel expenses would include overnight accommodations as necessary (up to $150 max). I am open to travel and very flexible with regard to expenses to creatively answer budget concerns for the event participants.

I am a professional writer (business and creative) and a former English teacher. As such, I am happy to provide as much guidance as needed to couples writing their own vows. For any type of event (marriage, funeral, etc.) I can incorporate a range of elements, including literature, poetry, song lyrics, and humor, to satisfy any desired themes, intentions, or vibes.
