Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?

I have always wanted to officiate marriage ceremonies. I am based in Hawaii on the Big Island about 26 miles from Hilo. If you are coming to Hawaii for your wedding, or live on the Big Island, I would love to help you. I enjoy working with the couple and coming up with the wedding ceremony they want. I prefer to meet with them ahead of the ceremony, but sometimes that is not possible, so we talk over the phone or text or email to work out the details. My fee is $200.00 cash due at time of ceremony or on meeting. If I drive to the Kona side of the island or Waimea, my fee will go up. I will also do commitment ceremonies. Please, serious inquiries only. I have been scammed once and am very leery of contacts that don't respond when they find out it is cash only. If you change your mind about me, please let me know.

Where are you from?

I grew up in Torrington, Wyoming. I now reside in Volcano, Hawaii.

What do you hope to achieve with your online ordination?

Since I am now retired, officiating weddings is my new passion. I am enjoying very much the couples I can help start their new life.

Religious Affiliations

Other

Additional Information

I grew up Catholic, and never really went along with some of the beliefs and decided Universal Life Church was more what I was looking for. I will do Religious, Non-Religious, and commitment ceremonies.

What do you think makes your ceremonies special as a VOLCANO, HI wedding officiant?

I like to meet with the couple and together we come up with a ceremony personalized to their wants. If there is a special extra ceremony, they want i.e.: unity candle, sand ceremony, jumping the broom, etc. we work together to come up with the wording they want. I also do commitment ceremonies.

Are there particular areas near you where you prefer to travel or have special experience?

I live in Volcano Hawaii, which is the rainforest side of the Big Island. I have had several weddings at my home. I really enjoy performing ceremonies at Liliuokalani Park and Gardens in Hilo. I have also performed ceremonies at private residences.
