I became an ordained minister for one simple reason: to create meaningful moments for couples who want something personal, intentional, and real. As a DJ and event architect, I’ve always been focused on shaping the energy of a wedding — the emotion, the flow, the atmosphere. Officiating became a natural extension of that work.

Being ordained allows me to offer couples a ceremony that feels authentic to them — not scripted, not stiff, not generic. Whether it’s an intimate elopement, a backyard celebration, or a simple “just us” moment, I’m able to guide the experience with the same care and presence I bring to every event I design.

For couples who want a ceremony that feels warm, relaxed, and genuinely meaningful, I’m here to help create that moment.

My goal with becoming an ordained minister is simple: to give couples a ceremony that feels personal, meaningful, and true to who they are. I’m not here to deliver a generic script or a stiff, traditional service. I’m here to create a moment that feels intentional — a moment that actually reflects the couple standing in front of me.

I’m not affiliated with any specific religion or denomination. My ordination is non denominational, which allows me to serve couples of all backgrounds, beliefs, and traditions. For me, officiating isn’t about promoting a particular faith it’s about honoring the couple’s story and creating a ceremony that feels meaningful and authentic to them.

Whether a couple prefers something spiritual, secular, modern, or completely non traditional, I’m able to adapt the ceremony to match their values and comfort level. My focus is always on respect, inclusivity, and making sure every couple feels seen and supported.

What sets my ceremonies apart is the balance of intention, energy, and authenticity I bring to every couple’s moment I don’t believe in cookie cutter scripts or stiff, formal delivery. Instead, I focus on creating a ceremony that feels warm, personal, and genuinely reflective of the two people standing in front of me

Because of my background as a DJ and event architect, I understand how to read a room, guide emotion, and shape the atmosphere That means your ceremony won’t feel rushed, awkward, or disconnected it will feel natural, grounded, and full of meaning

While I’m based in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, I regularly travel up to 1,000 miles for weddings, elopements, and intimate ceremonies. My background and experience give me a strong connection to both Upstate New York and Central Pennsylvania, and I’m comfortable working in a wide range of locations.

I have special experience in:

Upstate New York — including the Adirondacks, Syracuse, Binghamton, Albany, and surrounding regions

Central and Northern Pennsylvania — Williamsport, State College, Scranton, Harrisburg, and rural venues

Northeast corridor destinations — New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware

Mountain, lake, and outdoor elopement locations where a calm, flexible officiant makes all the difference

Beyond officiating the ceremony itself, I offer support that helps couples feel grounded, prepared, and confident throughout the process. My role isn’t limited to reading a script — it’s about creating a meaningful experience from start to finish.
