Wedding FAQs

Please check my calendar for available dates. Depending on where and what time a ceremony is, I may be able to officiate more than one ceremony in a day.

My specialty is to create a wedding that you want. I have learned to take my personal beliefs out of the process of creating a wedding – to make sure that I represent your beliefs about marriage and wedding ceremonies. So if you are very religious, come from different religious backgrounds and need to create a ceremony that respects both, or if you wish a completely secular ceremony, I can do that. Additionally, as an interfaith minister – with knowledge of most world faith traditions – I can recommend some beautiful rituals to include in your ceremony if you’d like. I would say most ceremonies that I do are of a spiritual, non-denominational nature.

Generally 20-30 minutes long.

If that is what you want! There are also many other wonderful ceremonies and rituals I can suggest.

Again, I go with the style that you want for your ceremony. I can be very serious and reverent in a formal wedding – or I can be casual and a bit humorous if that’s better for you.

I actually don’t! I make sure to get to know you very well! I have you fill out a questionnaire before we meet for our “creative session” (the meeting we have to develop your ceremony), which I read a few times before we meet. Then during our meeting, that can last 1 or 2 hours or more, I dig into you as individuals and as a couple. I ask all kinds of questions. It’s actually quite fun! Before we end the meeting, I make sure I know enough about the two of you to begin the process of creating the ceremony. After I send you the first draft, we can go back and forth revising it as long as necessary. We get to know each other quite well in this process!

I have a number of robes of different colors, and will coordinate what color would work best. Or, in some cases, I don’t wear a robe – but just a minister’s mantle.
