For Couples…

Weddings ~ Civil Unions ~ Commitment Ceremonies

Your story is unique…your ceremony should mirror that! Couples deserve to have the ceremony they envision, one that celebrates the special qualities of their relationship and reflects their personalities as well as their spiritual and cultural backgrounds. I will work with you to create a ceremony that meaningfully expresses why you are choosing each other, with thoughtfully selected readings and symbolic elements.

Including your children

If your ceremony also celebrates the joining of two families, I can assist you in adding elements that comfortably and significantly include your children.

 

Vow Renewals

Whether you’ve been together for five years or fifty, restating your love and dedication is cause for celebration! It can also be an opportunity to have the ceremony you wanted but didn’t have the first time you stated your vows. It is an honor to help couples publicly reaffirm their commitment to each other.

For Families…

Adoptions

A new family member is cause for celebration! Through ceremony, you can introduce your new daughter or son to your family and friends, share their adoption story, acknowledge their heritage, and welcome them into their new life.

 

Welcoming Baby

Welcome your child to family and friends through this special ceremony. A baby welcoming ceremony is a wonderful chance to share the joy of your baby’s arrival. Explain the significance of his or her birth name, express your hopes for their future, honor family heritage and acknowledge your child’s ancestors…the possibilities are limitless.

 

Children-Inclusive Weddings

Weddings are a joyful event. The combining of two families marks a period of change for the couple and for their children. When a couple wishes to include their children in their ceremony, they honor them with an affirmation of their special place in their lives. I take great care to ensure that the thoughts and feelings of each child are considered. Respect is given to their input and involvement in the ceremony.
