Anthony Michael Urda
Ordained Minister in Union City, Georgia
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
I wanted to offer my services to friends and loved ones in the biggest moments of their lives.
Where are you from?
I am originally from Homer, New York. I studied Theatre before moving to the Greater Atlanta area.
What do you hope to achieve with your online ordination?
I'd like to be there for people. The services of a minister can illicit a lot of strong emotions, and I want to be there as best I can for those who need someone to be there.
Religious Affiliations
Catholicism, Universal Life Church
Additional Information
I was born and raised in the Catholic faith, and while I still hold true to the core teachings of Jesus and the Church, I don't affiliate myself with the organization due to the harms the Church has inflicted on so many.
What do you think makes your ceremonies special as a Union City, GA wedding officiant?
Empathy and Connection. I have performed small weddings consisting of just me and the couple, and I have performed larger weddings in public and private spaces. I will be as sensitive as I can to the needs of the couple, because connecting people can have a dividing effect with others. I'm happy to be a part of a connection that brings love and support to the couple in a way that they need.
Are there particular areas near you where you prefer to travel or have special experience?
I have performed ceremonies all over the Greater Atlanta area. I have friends and loved ones all over the area, so lodging and travel shouldn't ever be an issue.
