As
a wedding celebrant, I work for everyone- every culture,
every age, every religion, in every setting. The photos
throughout this website are a small fraction of the
couples I have worked for. But they are indicative of
the clientele who retain my services. Their ceremonies
took place in locations such as their homes or at venues
like country clubs, mansions, houses of worship, park
gazebos or elaborate banquet facilities. In all cases
the ceremonies I performed for them honored the relationship
of marriage as well as celebrated the couples' desire
to share their lives.
But what determines how
a couple chooses their officiant? I find that most couples
who contact me belong to one of two groups.

Those
of the first group already have an appreciation of what a professional
officiant brings them- the know how, the experience and the
directorship skills to make their ceremony outstanding. They
also understand the consequences of making the wrong choice
in a minister. When these couples call my office, their questioning
often begins with.."What will your services and ceremony
do for us?" On the other hand, price oriented couples do
little homework, typically hiring the first officiant referred
to them who meets their budget. They mistakenly reason that:
"Since all wedding ceremonies are the same why not find
the cheapest?"
My approach is to educate couples- giving
them a complete understanding of everything I do in a wedding
ceremony and the reasoning behind it. The thoroughness of
this website and a video presentation rich with novel and
effective examples helps my couples to make informed decisions
on hiring me. This openness rewards me with clients of similar
values and expectations- couples who are a joy to work for.
These couples are the clienteles I seek.
