Taira Ramos
Ordained Minister in Phoenix, Arizona
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
My journey as an ordained minister began as a gift to my best friends of eight years. Standing beside them as they said "I do" was meant to be a single, special moment, but it ignited a passion I didn't expect. That spark changed everything, and now I am honored to bring that same level of devotion and joy to every couple I serve.
Where are you from?
Though my roots are deeply planted in the vibrant island of Puerto Rico, I have spent the last twenty years calling Arizona home. Over two decades in the Southwest I’ve watched my heart grow to mirror the desert landscape, deeply resilient and filled with unexpected beauty. I fell in love with the Copper State long ago, and I am honored to help couples start their own histories under these wide, desert skies.
What do you hope to achieve with your online ordination?
My goal with this path is simple. to be a vessel for love and light in this world. Finding work that aligns with my soul has brought me an immense sense of happiness, and I believe that when I am operating from a place of true purpose, I can better help my couples celebrate theirs.
