Our Services

A wedding ceremony is rarely "cookie-cutter." Nor should it be. The ceremony is one of the few opportunities for you to place your own stamp on the wedding day. People sometimes lose sight of the fact that there are actually few things that must legally be said during the service. These statements take all of a couple minutes to say, leaving the rest of your ceremony up to you. Many couples do like the traditional format of the wedding ceremony, but even within this structure, there are ways to make it your own. This is the part of the process that I have the most fun with.

By learning more about you and your fiancé, I am able to recommend unique elements, phrasing, and symbolism for your service. Of course, this is all done while keeping the focus on a tasteful and elegant wedding. Once in a while, I will be asked to perform a purely traditional service. In this case, the format and script of the ceremony are already set-in-stone. While I am willing to accommodate this request, it has become more and more rare as couples seek to add a spirit of specialness to their ceremony. Regardless of whether you wish for a heavily scripted affair or a classic traditional service, I will work to ensure your day is special and unforgettable.

Daniel & Theresa

On November 29, 2008, Daniel and Theresa were married in a lovely ceremony in Audubon Park, NJ. This was a very special event because it was one in which the whole family came together to support this couple in every step of their wedding. Weddings are not cheap, and even when couples try to scale back, the costs can add up quickly. Daniel and Theresa's families came together and pooled their resources and talents. By doing so, Daniel and Theresa were able to have a wedding that involved their closest family members without breaking the bank.

I was so pleased to work with this couple to make sure they were able to have the traditional wedding ceremony they desired. Complete with traditional vows and the lighting of the Unity Candle, we were still able to express the spirit of Thanksgiving within this Thansksgiving weekend wedding. In that spirit, I thank Daniel and Theresa both for choosing me as their wedding officiant.

Cheers to this special couple!
