I didn’t become an ordained minister online because it was easy — I did it because I believe moments matter. I’ve always been someone who shows up for people during the biggest transitions of their lives, and I didn’t want to just attend those moments — I wanted to help lead them. Marriage isn’t just paperwork to me; it’s commitment, accountability, legacy, and faith in something bigger than yourself. I’ve seen how powerful words can shape direction, and I wanted the ability to speak life into a couple’s foundation on the day they choose forever. Getting ordained gave me the opportunity to serve in a deeper way — to stand in that sacred space and make it meaningful, not scripted. I believe in structure, in vows that mean something, and in being present when two people decide to build something lasting. It wasn’t about status; it was about responsibility. If I’m going to be in someone’s life, I want to be in it with intention. Becoming ordained was another way of showing up fully for the people I care about.

What do you hope to achieve with your online ordination?

I approach my role as a minister with deep respect for the diversity of beliefs people hold. While my ordination allows me to legally officiate ceremonies, I don’t see my role as pushing a specific denomination or doctrine. Instead, I focus on honoring the couple’s values, faith background, or personal philosophy. I’m comfortable incorporating spiritual elements, scripture, or prayers when requested, and I’m equally comfortable leading non-denominational or secular ceremonies. My goal is to create a ceremony that feels authentic to the couple, not centered on me. I believe faith — in whatever form it takes — should uplift and unify, and I strive to serve in a way that reflects integrity, inclusivity, and respect for all traditions.

What makes my ceremonies special is that they’re not just scripts — they’re personal. I take the time to understand the couple, their story, their values, and what commitment really means to them. I don’t treat the ceremony like a formality; I treat it like the foundation of their marriage. My style is structured but heartfelt — strong in meaning, clear in purpose, and intentional in every word. I focus on creating a moment that feels grounded and real, not overly theatrical or rushed. I want everyone there — especially the couple — to feel the weight and beauty of what’s happening. I bring calm energy, confidence, and presence, so the couple can just be fully in the moment. At the end of the day, I want people to walk away remembering not just how it looked, but how it felt.

I’m open to traveling wherever I’m needed, but I especially enjoy officiating ceremonies locally and within a reasonable driving distance so I can give couples my full attention and flexibility. I’m familiar with venues and outdoor locations in my area, which helps me anticipate logistics and keep the ceremony smooth and organized. I’m also comfortable traveling for destination-style weddings if the planning is coordinated in advance. Ultimately, what matters most to me isn’t the location — it’s being fully present and prepared wherever the couple chooses to say their vows.

What I provide goes beyond just officiating a ceremony. I take the responsibility seriously — from helping couples craft meaningful vows to ensuring all legal details are handled correctly and smoothly. I believe preparation matters, so I work closely with each couple to make sure their ceremony reflects who they are and what they value. I bring structure, calm leadership, and clear communication so the day feels organized and stress-free. I’m also flexible and respectful of different beliefs, cultures, and traditions, and I aim to create a space where everyone feels honored. Whether the ceremony is large and formal or small and intimate, my focus stays the same: intention, integrity, and presence. At the core, I see this role as service — showing up fully and helping mark one of life’s most important commitments in a way that truly matters.
