Saundra Marquez

I became ordained because I believe life’s most meaningful moments deserve to be honored with intention, compassion, and authenticity. Being able to stand with people during milestones such as weddings, commitments, and life transitions is a privilege I deeply respect.

I’m originally from Denver, Colorado and was raised in the suburbs of Boulder. Two years ago I made the move to Missouri and now live near the beautiful southern Ozarks.

I hope to use my ordination to support people during some of the most important moments of their lives. Whether celebrating love, new beginnings, or meaningful transitions, I want to help create ceremonies that feel personal, intentional, and memorable.

I approach ministry in a non-denominational and inclusive way, welcoming people of all faiths, traditions, and backgrounds. My focus is on honoring love, commitment, and meaningful life moments in a way that reflects the values of those being celebrated.

I believe every couple has a unique story, and I strive to create ceremonies that reflect that. My focus is on making each wedding feel personal, heartfelt, and meaningful so the moment truly represents the love and commitment being celebrated.

I’m based in the southern Ozarks and happy to travel for ceremonies. My priority is creating a personal and heartfelt experience for each couple, no matter the location.

I approach ministry with compassion, respect, and a deep appreciation for life’s meaningful milestones. My goal is to create ceremonies and moments that feel authentic, personal, and reflective of the people involved. Whether celebrating love, supporting life transitions, or offering guidance, I strive to provide a welcoming and supportive presence for those I serve.
