We are a group of 8 Ordained Ministers, Wedding Planners/Coordinators, Consultants, and Event Decorators (Rental go full service). We personally create & deliver unique, personal ceremonies for large formal weddings, casual last minute weddings elopements, vow renewals in a park or garden and everything in between. I also perform most pastoral duties, including baptisms, handfasting, naming ceremonies, countless unity ceremonies, floralss, funerals (Note: No charge for funerals if the deceased died from suicide, drug overdose, or murder), as well as hospital, hospice and prison visits (where permitted), as well as translation for non-English speakers. We work carefully with you to create & deliver a ceremony as unique as your love for one another. My goal is to exceed your expectations and help create lasting memories.

We accept a limited number of clients. We want to ensure that every client has our full attention. I also take alot of time preparing.

My simple philosophy: This is YOUR day, YOUR event, and I will do everything in my power to ensure a lifetime of wonderful memories.

I am a retired RN and a current archaeologist/anthropologist. Both of these careers have exposed me to many different religions, cultures and rituals that mark many of life's major milestones. I am comfortable incorporating cultural and religious traditions seldom performed in the US into YOUR ceremony. Secular ceremonies are also a specialty, as are interfaith.

I have officiated many weddings with blended families. If you have a blended family and so desire, I can create beautiful ceremonies where the children are involved in various, age appropriate, non stressful degrees. If your venue allows pets, I am an animal lover (except for spiders.I only ask that you don't bring pet spiders!). Feel free to make any 4 legged friends part of the big event, if feasible.

I am LGBTQIA+ friendly. Whether the marrying couple and/or their guests and loved ones are LGBTQIA+, you can relax in the knowledge that I will treat everyone involved with respect and dignity.

Basically, I will enthusiastically serve people of all faiths, or none at all.

My husband is a scholar & expert of the Mayan and Aztec civilizations. He is fluent in multiple languages (including Spanish and 6 dialects of Mayan). He is available to translate if needed. He is also an expert in the cultures, traditions and rituals of the Mayan and Aztec people and would be willing to assist with any clients wishing to incorporate some of those elements into their ceremony.

I am willing to go above and beyond, if you so desire. I'm happy to assist with the many tasks inherent to weddings, so you can relax & enjoy yourselves. My daughter is an up and coming photographer. She has photographed several weddings with photographers who are among the most talented and in demand. She also does engagement photo shoots. Since she has not yet become famous, her prices are extremely affordable. However, her work is great. We can provide samples upon request. If you think you may want her to photograph your event, let me know and we can discuss the details. And of course, that would be dependent upon her being available.

If you are interested in my services, I do offer a free consultation to help in your decision making process.

A few more random notes: I can do jail/prison visits.or at least, I can try. I do have Pastoral credentials.

And for forms of payment, "Zelle" was not a choice. Neither was Venmo. So I'm adding here that Zelle or Venmo are my preferred methods of payment. But again, I am pretty easy to deal with when it comes to those matters.

Hope to see you soon! Cheers, Kristi
