Wedding Ceremonies
I am an Ordained Minister in Interfaith Ministries. I attended the New Seminary of Interfaith Studies in New York City from 2006-2008. After a beautiful ceremony, I was ordained in June of 2008 at St. John's of the Divine. I performed my first wedding in NYC a week after my ordination. I did not go to seminary to become a wedding officiant. After attending a workshop on creating wedding ceremonies I fell in love with the idea of joining couples in love, in marriage. I knew I was going to do this work, and this work is more like play for me, even though I take it very seriously.
I hold no bias as to race, religion, or lifestyle and am free to help you express your love and commitment to each other in the way that it is most meaningful to you.
I specialize in all types of ceremonies; traditional, non-traditional, interfaith, non-denominational/civil ceremonies, vow renewals, spiritual, secular, romantic, serious or silly. As an interfaith minister, I honor all faiths and respect your personal beliefs. I will listen closely and honor your wishes. Its your day. Its your ceremony. Its that simple.
I am open to including all types of rituals. From ring exchange, sharing of vows, hand wrapping, sand rituals, etc. If you want it, its there. Again, its that simple.
I live Inland Northwest and am based out of Coeur D'Alene, Idaho. I am willing to travel to Washington and Montana to officiate your ceremony.
