I am from north central Iowa near Northwood,Mason City and Clear Lake area.

Additional Information
I am from a Protestant evangelical background but believe that faith is about relationship with God and not about a religion or particular denomination. I prefer to remain non-denominational. I don’t believe in excluding anyone from getting married or baptized based on their religious affiliation.
What do you think makes your ceremonies special as a Kensett, IA wedding officiant?
I customize the message and choose the passages of scripture for each ceremony and service so none of them are the same. I like to personalize the ceremony after getting to know a bit about the people I am providing service to.
Are there particular areas near you where you prefer to travel or have special experience?
Anywhere within a 40 mile radius of Kensett or Mason City Iowa is preferred region. Negotiable to travel farther as requested for an extra commute based fee.
