Norman B. Ashley Jr
Ordained Minister in Elmira, New York
About Me:
You should hire me if you want your wedding to be something more than just a really big, expensive party.
You should hire me if you feel I can best represent for you what is important to you for your wedding and your subsequent life in marriage.
If you view the ceremony as the pinnacle representation of everything you feel about your soon-to-be-spouse, and want someone who will create a ceremony that speaks specifically to you as a couple, deliver the ceremony impeccably, with a heartfelt finesse and demeanor, and have your guests rave about your ceremony for years to come, then you should hire me.
If you feel your wedding ceremony should be one of the most important, beautiful, precious moments of your entire life, then you should hire me.
If you want someone who goes so far above and beyond the extra mile that the extra mile becomes a distant memory, then you should hire me.
If you want an officiant who believes in frequent communication and is easily accessible, then you should hire me.
If you want an officiant who is flexible and always looking to discover what is important to you, then you should hire me.
If you view the ceremony as an unfortunate, necessary “gateway to the party,” and you’re only interested in someone who will just show up, read something with very little heart or personality, and be done without much impact made upon the moment, I’m probably not your guy. (Although if you do want something short and sweet but that’s still sentimental, I do that brilliantly!)
Remember – without me, it’s just a party…
