Weddings
This day is about you, your love, and the commitment you are making to each other. How do you want to celebrate this special day? What do you want to say to each other? What tone and feeling do you want the ceremony to have? What ritual actions would poetically symbolize and express your union? These are the questions you are invited to ask here, and the only right answers are whatever would most delight you and make you happy. The truth is, we may have certain legal and social norms, but marriage really takes place in your hearts. A Celebrant ceremony puts the power in your hands to express your union in your personal way - which includes your values, beliefs, and cultural traditions. I work in collaboration with you, and also share my creativity, resources, and experience. On your wedding day, I will officiate the ceremony I composed for you with warmth, humor, and grace. With this kind of well-crafted, dynamically delivered ceremony, you do not have to worry about whether your guests will be bored! They will be totally engaged and captivated, they will recognize you, they may learn things they did not know about you as a couple, they will laugh, they will cry - which is what they are there for! And most important of all you and your partner will have an unforgettable, personal and meaningful experience, which is what a marriage ceremony should be.

Commitment Ceremonies & Civil Unions
I believe that gay and lesbian couples have every right to marry and celebrate their love as heterosexual couples do. It is unfortunate that all of the U.S. does not agree, and I hope that changes. I am happy to provide gay and lesbian couples with the same personalized service described above that I provide to heterosexual couples. Be it a civil union or commitment ceremony, it will be a true marriage of your hearts and spirits.

Vow Renewals
A vow renewal is a beautiful gift that you can give to each other and your marriage. A healthy marriage goes through many experiences and transformations. A vow renewal is a wonderful way to celebrate and acknowledge how far you have come together, as well renew your intentions for your relationship. If you have gone through a particularly challenging time, a vow renewal is a great way to acknowledge who you both are now and the new phase of relationship you are in. You may want to renew the original vows you spoke at your wedding, or say new vows, to affirm your love, revitalize, and fortify your commitment.
