Ceremonies and Celebrations

It is your wedding day! What a wonderful opportunity to create the event of a lifetime. Your marriage ceremony is the focus of the day where words and rituals declare your love and desire for a fulfilling union. As your wedding officiant , I believe in taking time to learn about you as a couple. I listen to what is important to you and present options to build a wedding ceremony that is truly meaningful. Through a thoughtful questionnaire and interviews with you, I write your love story. I am flexible and supportive as we share ideas together, allowing your marriage ceremony to evolve with ease. Many couples today are not part of a church community, but find they want a spiritual quality to their wedding ceremony. I honor your wishes from spiritual to religious to civil and am available to you throughout the planning process. Call us: 510 969-5756 Wedding Ceremonies and Celebrations
