THE CEREMONY

Often the importance of the ceremony is overlooked. With all of the planning going on, it is understandable that some people just want to 'get it over with'.

However, when you think about it, all of your friends and loved ones are gathering together on this special day to witness a ceremony marking an alchemical transition of two souls becoming one. It is the ceremony that  accomplishes this transition.

This is your transition, your alchemical phasing. You should be the craftsperson of this most important of ceremonies, making sure it reflects your personalities and love for one another.

I can help guide you through the process.

Personalized  Custom Wedding Ceremony

You have the option to personalize for your wedding ceremony; Traditional, Non-Traditional, Religious, Non-denominational, Spiritual, Mystic, Cosmic, Interfaith, and Civil. I perform hetero and same-sex weddings.

Traditional

A traditional wedding ceremony, or service, is the handing down of vows, beliefs and customs from generation to generation. I assist couples in incorporating important cultural and family traditions into their wedding ceremony.

Non-traditional

A non-traditional wedding ceremony is similar to a civil ceremony, but may or may not have religious overtones. You will most likely add your own flavor to a non-traditional wedding ceremony.

Religious

A religious wedding ceremony includes vows, beliefs and customs that are important to your religion. It is often held in your place of worship. We can incorporate elements that are important in your religion if you choose not to get married at your place of worship.

Non-denominational

A non-denominational ceremony has no association with a religious denomination. It can contain elements of traditional, non-traditional, spiritual, interfaith and/or a civil ceremony or civil union.

Spiritual

A spiritual wedding ceremony is a completely personalized ceremony that incorporates spiritual practices rather than religious practices. You can include your own spiritual beliefs or select from many ancient traditions and practices from around the world.

Mystic or Cosmic

There is very little difference between Cosmic and Mystic wedding ceremonies and civil unions. This type of service reflects our cosmic nature and our oneness with the universe. It imbues the couple's union with cosmic and universal energies, which will increase their love and respect for each other.

Interfaith

An ideal solution for couples who come from different faith traditions is the Interfaith wedding ceremony. I will assist you in incorporating your choice of faith practices into your ceremony.

Civil

A civil wedding ceremony allows a couple to include special readings, vows, symbols and wedding themes that may not be included in a religious ceremony. A civil ceremony often does not contain religious elements; however, it is completely up to the couple. A civil ceremony can take place in the venue of your choice
