Ordained Minister in Spokane, Washington

What do you think makes your ceremonies special as a Spokane, WA wedding officiant?
I am insistent that people explore what their values are together before they make a lifetime commitment. A marriage is not just about 2 people; it involves family, friends, and community. I try to include this in pre-marital counseling and discussions. I'm also totally OK with people writing their own vows, and making their ceremony as personalized as they wish.
Are there particular areas near you where you prefer to travel or have special experience?
I sometimes offer a sliding scale for services and travel. I will consider appropriate barter payments in lieu of cash. I will travel most anywhere on the planet if expenses are accommodated. There is no extra charge for local (within 50 miles) travel.
Types of Service Offered

Additional Information
I am LGBTQ+ friendly as I have not lived my life as a heterosexual person. I have no issues with interracial or interfaith relationships, and I have had a very diverse exposure to major religions. Thus, I'm comfortable with acting respectfully, despite any background differences people may have.
