I originally became an ordained minister online because a very good friend of mine was ordained through the Universal Life Church (ULC) in 2012, and I thought it was such a cool and meaningful thing to do. It inspired me to follow suit, and I’m so glad I did! My first (and only, so far) wedding ceremony took place in November 2020, when another close friend asked me to officiate their wedding in Carmel. It was such an incredible honor and a truly unforgettable experience to be part of such a significant moment in their lives.

Being a ULC-ordained minister has given me the opportunity to help others during one of the most important chapters of their lives. Whether it’s officiating a wedding or offering support as a minister, it’s a deeply rewarding way to contribute to someone’s journey and make their special day even more meaningful.
