Becoming an Ordained Minister all started with my own wedding to my husband, Warren. Since we had both been married before, we wanted to keep things simple, yet it was still important that our wedding be memorable and special—something we would cherish forever. A town hall ceremony felt too impersonal for us, so we called a local officiant and were married at home in a beautiful, intimate ceremony on New Year's Eve, surrounded by our children and family. We couldn't have asked for anything better!
I wrote our ceremony because it was important to us that our love be truly represented—that it reflected how grateful we were to have found each other and how blessed we felt to have this newly blended family.
Warren and I both have children from our first marriages—he has three, and I have two. Tragically, I lost my 18-year-old son, Nicholas, in 2014. The pain of his passing is something I carry with me every day, but the love of all our children keeps me going.
In September 2023, my stepson, Anthony, and his wife, Emily, blessed us with our first granddaughter, Josephine. Just a month later, in October 2023, my stepdaughter, Alex, and her husband, Mike, welcomed our second granddaughter, Riley. Life as Papa and Gigi is wonderful, even though being far from them can be hard.
We also have two fur babies—Baylee-Boo and Lexi-Loo. They are spoiled rotten and always getting into trouble together, but we wouldn’t change a thing!.
Before becoming an ordained minister, I spent many years working in banking. In 2014, I left that career to pursue my true passion—officiating wedding ceremonies. I wanted to be fully available to my couples, ensuring they felt supported every step of the way. I knew I could create and give couples the same beautiful, lasting memories that my husband and I cherish from our own wedding ceremony. To me, the wedding ceremony is the heart of your wedding day. When a couple stands in front of me, I want them to feel as if they are being married by a friend, not a stranger they found online.
Through the years, I have come to realize that this is more than just a business—it’s a calling. Standing witness to the start of a couple’s married life together is truly a gift, and in return, I offer the gift of love, respect, and a deeply meaningful ceremony.
I have been incredibly blessed to officiate weddings all across this beautiful country, and along the way, I have embraced and incorporated many wonderful traditions from different cultures and backgrounds.
I look forward to helping you begin this next chapter by creating a ceremony as unique as the love you share—one that will fill the first page of your new life together with cherished memories.
