William Merritt
Ordained Minister in Seattle, Washington
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
Offer a friendly experience for the non-religious, spiritually agnostic.
In 3 years time, I had multiple friends ask me to marry them. I really enjoyed working through the nuances of requests that meander through general Christian principles, modern spiritualism and/or new age mysticism. I think its wonderful when communities can come together, and I want to do my part to ensure that you all feel respected in how your traditions are highlighted
Where are you from?
Seattle, WA
What do you hope to achieve with your online ordination?
Help people get married.
Religious Affiliations
Christianity, Presbyterianism, None
Additional Information
Very conformable with western Christianity denominations. The only thing I ask, is that we incorporate friends and families in the services to cover scriptural readings or prayers as it is more special when it’s coming from a believer.
What do you think makes your ceremonies special as a Seattle, WA wedding officiant?
Keep it simple, keep it fun, keep it catered to the your expectations.
Are there particular areas near you where you prefer to travel or have special experience?
Located in Seattle. Will be more than happy to offset cost for hotel rooms. I love having an overnight up in the woods in a cabin in exchange for providing marriage services.
