DESIGN YOUR SPECIAL DAY

Happiness, excitement and love are three wonderful feelings I’ve heard while talking to couples about their upcoming ceremony and marriage. Personalize, customize and excellence are key words that I use while in the same conversation. I have found that, in our high-tech world, couples want their wedding day to be filled with the emotional connections that exemplify their relationship.

WHERE TO BEGIN

Let's begin with a FREE, NO OBLIGATION MEETING, which typically lasts an hour. I believe that the rapport between the officiant, bride, and groom is key to their connection and the ultimate success of the wedding ceremony. This is not something that can be determined by a succession of emails and phone calls, but in person (when possible), or via Zoom.   

This is why I look forward to meeting each couple so the couple and I can determine if we are a good fit for their ceremony. Those who have known me for many years and those who have recently experienced my style have said that I am thorough, calming, and present with dignity and professionalism and with a relaxed, flexible style.

WHAT I PROVIDE
  • ​​Initial, no obligation conversation
  • Listen to your dreams and plans for your celebration
  • Confirm the basics of your ceremony
  • Determine the nature of your ceremony, for example, sacred, non-religious, inclusion of other participants, special rituals, or celebration elements, such as wine, love notes, personal vows, etc.
  • Discuss and walk -through a typical ceremony
  • Discuss the process and thorough crafting of your ceremony script

I’ve worked with Top - Rated planners and venues, from beaches to barns, from The National Cathedral to back yards, Golf venues and wineries, The Hay Adams Hotel to The Mayflower Hotel, Covered Bridges with Creeks, Willow trees, to the Chesapeake Bay Bridge with a magnificent sunset as the backdrop.

Packages
A package covers the basics and provides a cost-effective way to include pre-marriage or marriage coaching. Coaching can be vital for the preparation of a long-term, successful, and thriving marriage. Statistics reveal that the first year following a marriage is the most challenging, even for those who have cohabitated. Perspectives change once you say "I do." The packages are designed to help you discover your "growth areas" and build a strong, vitalized relationship for the rest of your lives.
