Shalene Kearney
Ordained Minister in Clovis, California
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
Initially, I was asked to officiate a friend's wedding in 2007. But I found that I really enjoyed crafting a ceremony that was meaningful; and having experience in theater, public speaking, and writing meant that it's a vocation that is natural to me.

What do you think makes your ceremonies special as a Clovis, CA wedding officiant?
The ceremonies I officiate are customized to the couple. No generic scripts used for my couples. I meet with them, in person, and get to know them, so that we aren't strangers on their wedding day. I craft a ceremony that fits their vision, their personalities and their love story. And as a wedding planner, I have tools most officiants just don't have, that I am able to gift my couples, depending on the circumstances.
Are there particular areas near you where you prefer to travel or have special experience?
I officiate most of my weddings in the greater Fresno, CA area, but will travel throughout California for an additional travel fee
