Creating the ceremony that's meaningful, warm and uniquely yours, be it spiritual, interfaith, religious, or civil, means more than selecting vows and readings. It means understanding

what makes your relationship unique, what your desires are for the future, and how you wish to include your family and friends.

From the simple, but meaningful ceremony, to a ceremony designed to incorporate rituals reflecting your personal faith and beliefs, I am dedicated to creating the right ceremony for you. I work with couples who have religious affiliations, who are non-denominational in their affiliations, or who do not have any affiliation.

Often people will remark that they do not remember their ceremony. Working with you, your loved one, family and friends to reduce the stress and increase the joy of your special day, is a gift I bring to any ceremony that I create and officiate....allowing all to recall their memories for years to come.

I welcome the opportunity to craft and officiate at the ceremony that is right for you....for a free consultation, please call 978-844-0595

The planning process made easy and fun

Apart from the legal requirements of a ceremony, the type of ceremony, style and/or feel you wish to create is always unique for each couple.

Step 1: An Initial Meeting

This meeting is designed to help you, and for us to get to know each other; sharing suggestions regarding music, possible readings and poetry, rituals you may wish to consider and possibilities for your vow preparation. If you already have a vision of the ceremony you wish to create, then we will ensure that readings, vows, rituals, music, etc are the perfect selections for your vision to become reality. If you do not yet have a sense, but feel you would like more guidance, then I will offer many suggestions to explore the style and "feel" of the ceremony you wish to create.

I work with you to ensure all the loose ends are discussed and that your ceremony reflects your unique relationship with each other, your family and friends. While it is always preferable meet in person, if this is not possible we will meet over the phone.

Step 2: Wedding Ceremony - an Initial Draft

From our discussions and sharing, I will write your wedding ceremony, including both words and rituals and send it to you for comments and feedback. We are in touch over the phone and/or by e-mail until you feel comfortable with the ceremony. An additional meeting is always an option depending upon your desires.

Step 3: Your Wedding Day

On the day of your wedding, I will arrive 30-45 minutes prior to your ceremony. This allows us to make sure that any loose ends are handled.

As your officiant, you can be assured that I will work closely with any event planner, musicians, DJ, photographer and catering manager, you may be utilizing.

At the end of your ceremony, we will sign the marriage license, and I will leave a bound copy of the ceremony with you as part of my gift to you. The executed marriage license is then sent to the appropriate town or city hall.

I will be honored to continue being available to you for future questions, requests and other life cycle celebrations or events as they unfold in your lives.
