I Believe…that there is a great need for interfaith ministers---those who are willing to help people find ways to celebrate the most important moments in their lives in a way that has meaning for them, personally. I believe that is the right of every one of God's children, regardless of what name they pray to or which House of Worship they attend (if any), to celebrate these momentous occasions while honoring their true beliefs and values. I believe that one does not need to attend a formal house of worship to be in touch with his or spirituality, and no one should be denied the right to honor his or her spirituality in these kinds of rituals, regardless of their religious affiliation or lack thereof. I believe that an interfaith minister’s calling is to promote understanding and unity between people of all faiths (or none), and to spread the simplest and most universal of messages: Love. Finally, I believe that love is love is love is love---no matter the faith (or lack thereof) -- gender, lifestyle, or orientation.

Additional Information:
I provide a microphone and public address system at no additional charge (when needed). I am a full-time wedding officiant, and I provide my couples with a contract that states exactly what they can expect from me, and I do not have a limit on the number of phone calls or emails that can be exchanged between us while planning your ceremony.
I have been working in the wedding industry for 13 years, and have been officiating weddings for nearly five years---performing in that time over 500 ceremonies. Although I provide personal service to all my couples, and I do officiate all ceremonies personally, I also have an extensive network of associate ministers as “back-up”, who can be called upon in the unlikely case of an emergency which would prevent me from officiating a wedding. That having been said, I take my commitment to officiate your wedding VERY seriously. (In other words, unless I am in the hospital due to some freak accident, I will be there.) ;-)
Brief excerpts from testimonials:
"I have never been so happy as to find this amazing person to marry my husband and I…she created the most beautiful ceremony I have ever heard. Everyone was asking about her and couldn't believe that she wrote all of that for us. They were all in tears! We were so
happy to have found her. Great person to work with." ---Mrs. Ashley Power, Berlin, NJ, 2-25-06
We didn’t want anything stuffy, boring, pretentious, or overly-dramatic for our wedding….Well you made it happen---we felt like you were a part of our family within 5 minutes of meeting you. Most of all, we want to thank you for the constant flood of compliments we have been receiving from even the most “traditional” family members. Everyone was so impressed by the meaning of the words, and the professional manner in which the whole ceremony was handled. Thanks to you, there is NOTHING we would change about our “moment in the sun”!---Tracey & Lloyd Oliver, 9-7-02, Wilmington, DE
"I don't know what was more beautiful, the touching words that made everyone cry, or the way you included all our children in the ceremony. People couldn't stop raving about it! Thank you soooo much for giving me the wedding I always dreamed of."
---Leigh Ann Raymond, 5-23-03, Collegeville, PA
"What can we say except, everybody loved you!!! You really made us comfortable with the whole process, and actually made it fun for us, as nervous as we were! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!"---Rina & Mike Capo, 11-5-06, North East, MD
