Bright Kelly
Ordained Minister in Bridgeport, Pennsylvania
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
I first became ordained in order to officiate my brother's wedding. I continued in the tradition to offer my skills to underserved communities.
Where are you from?
I am from Philadelphia, PA, and have extensively traveled.
What do you hope to achieve with your online ordination?
I specialize in working with non-traditional, agnostic, atheist, or "spiritual but not religious" clients, and I am an LGBTQAI+ celebrant. I saw a need in those communities, and decided to be the change I wanted to see.
Religious Affiliations
Atheism, Druidism, Neopaganism, New Age, Universal Life Church, Other
Additional Information
I believe, above all other things, that the beliefs of others are sacred. So long as none are harmed, free will and tolerance are my paramount ideals. As such, I don't look to inject my own beliefs into your celebrations. I am comfortable with atheists, agnostics, pagans, new agers, Norse pagans, and a variety of others, and will happily invoke the blessings of your chosen gods or atheist principles, in good faith, under the belief that a prayer offered in kindness is always worthy.
What do you think makes your ceremonies special as a Bridgeport, PA wedding officiant?
I am a published author and poet, and bring my skill with words to bear on all events. I am also a professional musician and public speaker, and as such, have a strong voice and confident delivery. I will work with you closely to ensure that things go exactly the way you dream them.
Are there particular areas near you where you prefer to travel or have special experience?
Philadelphia, New Jersey, New York, Delaware, and the entire Mid-Atlantic Region are my home base.

Additional Information
I am not a traditional clergymen. I'm here for the people who feel as if they cannot (or don't want to) turn to traditional churches for their spiritual needs.
As a performer, I am also able to provide my own professional microphones and sound systems, and liaise with videographers and other vendors to ensure that important moments can be captured. (You can also ask me about booking entertainment for any event!)
