I originally became an ordained minister 12 years ago as a gift to a co worker that was unable to find an officiant for her wedding.

I have been in Tennessee all my life!

Happily married couples, that when they look back at their wedding day they always remember those few moments of intense focus into each other's eyes and hearts when they were joined in love!

With so many religious affiliations, there is no possible way I can know all of them! However, as I mentioned I customize each ceremony according to the customer's wishes! If I am requested to perform a ceremony that I am not 100% familiar with, I will research and make sure I am on point!

Performing wedding ceremonies to me are a passion! I love each and every facet of the process, from the initial conversation, to the meeting with the customers, to the final day! My ceremonies are special and heartfelt because I put so much into them! I do not just "marry" the couple. I meet with them, I feel and see the banter, I notate little moments they have had, I find out what their expectations are as well as friends/family members! I personalize each and every ceremony!

I do not have restrictions on travel! If you want me to perform your wedding - I will be there. Each ceremony is negotiable, depending on the content. If the location is outside of a 90 mile radius, there would be travel expenses,

Everyone deserves to love and be loved! That is important to me! It is important to me that for a few minutes during the ceremony the (bride, groom) they are 100% focused on each other, looking deep into each other's eyes, and not worrying about the food or decor or who came! The wedding day goes by so fast, but during the ceremony they have those few moments where they are only focusing on the reason they chose to marry. It does not matter to me if I am marrying a bride and groom, bride and bride, or groom and groom, love is love!
