I was originally ordained online at the request of two close friends who asked me to officiate their wedding. It was such an honor that I felt compelled to continue. Now, I celebrate love in all its forms – from weddings to memorial services – helping people mark life's most important moments with authenticity and intention.

With my online ordination, I aim to create personalized wedding ceremonies that truly reflect each couple's unique love story. I strive to honor their vision, beliefs, and cultural traditions while ensuring a memorable and meaningful experience. I'm here to guide you through the process and help you craft a ceremony that feels authentic and special.

I was ordained through the Universal Life Church, which is a non-denominational organization that welcomes people of all faiths and backgrounds. This aligns perfectly with my personal belief in inclusivity and celebrating life's milestones in a way that honors the diverse beliefs and traditions of everyone I serve. While I'm happy to incorporate religious elements into a ceremony, I myself don't adhere to any specific religious doctrine.

I believe what makes my ceremonies special is the emphasis on crafting a truly authentic experience for each couple. It's not about following a script, but about weaving together their individual stories, beliefs, and values into a ceremony that reflects who they are.

I take the time to get to know the couple, understand their vision, and incorporate any meaningful elements they desire. Whether it's incorporating cultural traditions, honoring spiritual beliefs, or simply capturing the essence of their love, I strive to create a ceremony that is as unique as they are.

The fees for my services range on a sliding scale due to destination weddings becoming more & more popular. I am willing to travel - so if my services are needed abroad, please let me know in your initial contact form. I love an intimate, beautiful backyard wedding. due to the ability to meet your loved ones & speak with them on a personal level.

In addition to crafting personalized wedding ceremonies, I also officiate vow renewals, commitment ceremonies, and other life celebrations. I believe in celebrating love in all its forms, and I'm honored to help couples mark significant milestones in their journeys together.

I also offer grief support and officiate memorial services, focusing on celebrating the lives of loved ones in a way that brings comfort and healing to those left behind.

My approach is always rooted in compassion, respect, and a deep understanding of the human experience. I believe in creating ceremonies that are not only meaningful but also provide a space for genuine connection and emotional expression.
