Ian Demory
Ordained Minister in Wichita, Kansas
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
At first, I became an ordained minister in order to perform the commitment ceremony of two of my best friends. After the ceremony, I was approached by five different couples, asking me to perform their ceremony because they enjoyed how fun and laid-back it was. I realized that I had a knack for doing this, and a one-off moment became a bit of a side gig that has lasted for over 10 years and over 200 ceremonies/events!
To date, I have performed ceremonies and services for the following: sacred and secular weddings (including friends, family members, former students, and referrals), commitment ceremonies, handfasting, funerals, home blessings, etc.

Additional Information
I strive to make things as fun and relaxed as possible, and I want to be sure that your special day is just that - special and memorable. My services are affordable, and if you happen to be in Sedgwick County, I will personally drop off your marriage license with the county and make an additional copy for your records! After the service, I will also provide a complimentary copy of a certificate of marriage, courtesy of the ULC, which you can frame and display!
For funerals, I want to help make your day of remembrance with your loved one special and meaningful. To me, a funeral isn't a time to say goodbye, but "See you later." It's always a good thing to remember the good times and what made their lives mean so much to us, and I try to keep that in my services - we'll laugh, cry, remember, and above all else, thank them for being in our lives.
