Since then, I’ve had the privilege of officiating other weddings, bringing a personal, heartfelt approach to each one. My ministry is not tied to any single religion but is rooted in the values of love, unity, and respect. I believe everyone deserves a ceremony that reflects their unique story, and I’m honored to offer my services to make those special moments unforgettable.
