Weddings and Ceremonies for Couples

What a joyous and moving experience a wedding is! A carefully crafted wedding ceremony allows you to truly savor the moment as you step over the threshold of this major life transition. Such a ceremony can reveal to you the profound meaning of two becoming united as one.

A wedding ceremony created by a celebrant differs from a conventional wedding in that it is designed expressly for you. Your wedding service will be custom-made to express your values, your style, and your singular love. Whether you prefer formal or informal; traditional or very nontraditional; religious, spiritual or secular, I am here to listen to you and to help you fulfill your vision. As an interfaith minister and a student of many kinds of rituals, I can also create a ceremony for partners from different backgrounds, combining traditions from each.

In addition to writing and performing wedding ceremonies, I offer premarital coaching. This gives couples an opportunity to explore the relative strengths and weaknesses in their relationship and communication styles.

Because Connecticut law makes same-sex marriages legal, it is my distinct pleasure to officiate at these weddings, for out-of-state couples as well as for those from Connecticut.

I also happily prepare vow renewals, commitment ceremonies and milestone anniversary celebrations. For complete information on personalized, love-filled wedding ceremonies, please visit my sister site, www.weddingsofheart.biz.
