Fawntice Finesse McCain
Ordained Minister in Los Angeles, California
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
I became an ordained minister after being requested multiple times by my students, clients, friends, and even strangers I'd take up conversation with, to guide weddings and other sacred ceremonies. People appreciate my dependability, authenticity, how personable I am, how I see them, and the ways I hold space.
Where are you from?
I am proudly a Los Angeles native. However having lived in Hawaii in my youth, and having traveled to most of the United States and internationally, respectfully learning diverse cultures, I understand how all of Earth is all of our homes.
What do you hope to achieve with your online ordination?
With my ordination I hope to continue to bring people together with divine love, help us all feel safe, secure, supported, accepted, inspired, empowered, and able to thrive in our authenticity through the magic of sacred ceremony.

Baptized Christian and known for reciting the 23rd and 91st Psalms by heart in front of the congregation and the press at 3 years old, I am also a practicing Tibetan Buddhist for over 25 years, having studied with the great Tibetan masters as well as with Thich Nhat Hanh and his monastics in his Zen Buddhism.

What do you think makes your ceremonies special as a Los Angeles, CA wedding officiant?
No matter how small or large, my ceremonies embody an uplifting togetherness for everyone in attendance. We're all gathered in deep community, in access to our divine selves, honoring transitions in the most sacred of ways. I also add a little comedy. Laughter helps calm the nervous system which allows us to to relax within ourselves and with each other.
Are there particular areas near you where you prefer to travel or have special experience?
I work in the Los Angels Country area. For an additional fee I also love working as far south as San Diego, east in Palm Springs, and north in Ojai, Ventura, Santa Barbara, Central Coast, and The Bay Area. I am happy to travel other locations and even further distances, however increases in fee and accommodations apply.
