Lori Hilliard

I was first ordained to officiate family weddings, but discovered I love sharing in the joy of any couple commtting to each other, particularly those who may feel marginalized or uncomfortable in a traditional church setting.

Originally, Pittsburgh, but I now now live in Western Tennessee.

To offer marriage services to those who don’t belong to a church or want a service outside the traditional Christian mainstream. I am happy to perform ceremonies for loving gay, bi, and trans couples. I am non-denominational and will get to know each couple, writing personalized ceremonies based on their beliefs, whether atheist, Buddhist, Jewsh, Christian, or other.

I am open to all religions that uplift others and do not condemn others for being different.

I am a writer by profession and get to know each couple personally. Each ceremony is unique and uses resources and quotes specifically chosen for them. I add a touch of humor if the couple would like.

I am in Western Tennessee, between Dyersburg and Memphis.

I dress appropriately for your ceremony in full ministerial robes if that is your preference. Otherwise, I follow the dress code you provide. I will research and ensure all paperwork, including filing of your marriage license, is handled properly.
