Rev. Coby Joe

Hello! Thank you for checking out my profile! As a Minister, I am so HAPPY and GRATEFUL to be a member the Wedding Officiant industry! I LOVE love and I am excited for the opportunity to bring my unique gifts and background to officiating your wedding as well as supporting each of you in any and all phases of your relationships. I offer many pastoral services beyond being a Wedding Officiant bringing a wealth of experience, deep authenticity, and intention in performing custom rituals, rites of passage, and ceremonial energetic clearings/blessings of new spaces. I am an ally of the LGBTQ+ community & advocate for racial, ethnic, and cultural equity. Love is LOVE!

I have Master of Arts in Pastoral Ministry and in Transpersonal Counseling Psychology. I am an Arts-Based Spiritual Life Coach, ceramic artist, and doctoral candidate (CIIS). I have years of training and experience in Expressive Arts Therapeutic facilitation, Mindfulness Meditation, facilitating workshops, and public speaking. I am a Reiki Master/Teacher and have certificates in Sound Bath Healing, Sand Tray/World Play, and the MARI (Mandala Assessment Research Inventory) facilitation . These trainings and experiences allow me to bring a unique approach to helping you create an UNFORGETTABLE & BEAUTIFUL wedding ceremony, as well as provide other ministerial services. As your wedding officiant, we will craft together a wonderful expression YOUR vision for your special day, and one that is performed with a genuine heart, presence, and intention to make it memorable and transformative.

MY APPROACH & BACKGROUND: I bring experience, training, and understanding of the rituals involved with any marriage ceremony regardless if you're deeply religious, spiritual but not religious, atheist, or some where in between. I will always meet you both where you are and help you shape your wedding day into something truly magical. It does not matter if your ceremony is highly formal with all the glamour and glitz, or if it's done in your friend's backyard, I am comfortable in any setting and help you not only plan, but support you both through the stress and pressure that comes with such an event.

I am adaptable to any religious affiliation at any level, from deeply religious, "holiday-observers", casual, to agnostic or anti-religious. I also work with religiously "mixed" marriage ceremonies and will help you navigate the intricacies and potential landmines inherent in such unions. This includes working with mixed cultures & ethnicities, as well as nontraditional coupling regardless of gender identity. I am here for YOU all!

The fee listed is my base fee which will be adjusted dependent upon level of services provided. For very simple ceremonies, it will be lower.

Give me a call and let's set up a free introductory meeting whether in person or via zoom and see if we are a good fit!
