Hannah Shuler
Ordained Minister in Winder, Georgia
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
I became ordained to perform weddings for people who need help. My husband and I eloped, and we struggled to find someone who could officiate. I want to make it easier for others in similar situations.
Where are you from?
I am originally from Missouri, but I now live in Georgia.
What do you hope to achieve with your online ordination?
I hope to provide accessible and inclusive ceremonies for couples, focusing on non-religious, personalized experiences that reflect their unique love stories. My goal is to help create meaningful moments for couples, no matter their background or beliefs.
Religious Affiliations
None
Additional Information
I don’t have any personal religious affiliations and consider myself a minister in name only. My ordination with the Universal Life Church allows me to legally officiate ceremonies, but my approach is primarily non-religious. That said, I am more than willing to incorporate religious elements into your ceremony if that’s important to you. I am open to including prayers, readings, or any other spiritual traditions, and I’m happy to put in the research to ensure everything is meaningful and respectful. My goal is to create a ceremony that truly reflects your beliefs and values, whatever they may be.
What do you think makes your ceremonies special as a Winder, GA wedding officiant?
I believe what makes my ceremonies unique is my dedication to tailoring each one to the couple’s specific desires and vision. Whether you want something simple and quick or a more personalized event, I aim to be responsive, flexible, and adaptable to your needs. I understand that weddings can be costly, so my services start at 75.00, with pricing adjusted based on the level of customization and services provided. I am also willing to travel beyond my listed distance with sufficient notice, and we can discuss proper compensation for extended travel.
I’m open to negotiating costs for couples experiencing financial challenges. My goal is to ensure that your focus remains on what truly matters, celebrating your love and commitment, without the added stress of financial barriers.
Are there particular areas near you where you prefer to travel or have special experience?
I am based in Barrow County, GA, conveniently located near Athens, Lawrenceville, and the greater Atlanta area. I’m happy to travel within my listed range for a fee and have experience with beautiful locations like Savannah, Helen, and the North Georgia mountains. I’m always excited to explore new venues to ensure your ceremony perfectly matches your vision. I’m also open to traveling beyond my standard range when travel expenses are covered.
I specialize in intimate elopements and small weddings, typically preferring public spaces like parks, event venues, or similar locations rather than personal residences. However, I am flexible and happy to discuss any specific arrangements that would make your ceremony truly special.
