Rev. C. Vega
Ordained Minister in Columbia, Maryland
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
I believe every couple deserves a beautiful, meaningful ceremony — no matter their budget, background, or who they love. Online ordination gave me the credentials to make that real, without gatekeeping or years of waiting.
Where are you from?
Born in the United States, raised in the beautiful Bermuda — where I developed my love for meaningful gatherings and celebrating life's milestones. Now serving couples across Maryland and beyond.
What do you hope to achieve with your online ordination?
I hope to create ceremonies that make every couple feel seen, celebrated, and royal — no matter their budget, beliefs, or who they love. Online ordination lets me show up for couples with heart and intention, without gatekeeping.

Additional Information
I'm ordained through both the American Marriage Ministry and the Universal Life Church — two organizations that share a common belief: love is love, and everyone deserves a ceremony that honors who they truly are.
I'm not here to push a particular faith tradition. I'm here to meet couples where they are — whether that includes spiritual rituals, religious blessings, interfaith harmony, or no religious language at all. My role is to reflect your values, not impose mine.
ULC's interfaith ordination aligns perfectly with how I approach this work: open hearts, open minds, and a deep respect for every couple's journey.
What do you think makes your ceremonies special as a Columbia, MD wedding officiant?
Every ceremony is written from scratch — I take the time to learn your story, your journey, and what makes your love uniquely yours. No templates. No copy-paste scripts. Just a ceremony that actually feels like you.
I believe love is love, and everyone deserves to feel like royalty on their wedding day — without the markup.
