Every life provides occasion for ceremony. Life cycle observances of marriage, naming, celebrating, parting and death are some milestones along the way where an officiant provides meaningful service. After talking with you about your history and hopes for your ceremony, a personalized event will be designed with you in mind, reflective of your vision for the occasion.
With over a decade of experience, I have officiated hundreds of ceremonies. I look forward to bringing this wealth of experience into the creation of your individualized ceremony. I have a collaborative approach, with a listening ear to get a sense of your hopes and desires for your ceremony. You will be involved every step of the way, with an opportunity for input and review.
TESTIMONIAL
Thank you, thank you, thank you—for making our special day that much more special!
We cannot think of a better way to celebrate our marriage. You were wonderful,
and what you are doing is so wonderful for all the couples you are helping to unite!
I provide inclusive, non-denominational ceremonies in order to serve our increasingly diverse society and to place a focus on the individuals involved. In this way, your ceremony will uniquely honor all who gather with you to mark the moment, including those of differing cultures, traditional heritage or belief systems.
Humanist Celebrants are the clergy of the Humanist Society, with associated rights and privileges including officiating weddings. This position is distinguished by a special ethical commitment to serve all and exploit none. We serve as community leaders and ceremony officiants. We also serve as a resource when crises or needs arise in the community.
Humanism holds a rational and moral perspective that affirms our responsibility to lead meaningful, ethical lives capable of adding to the greater good of humanity. It is informed by historical knowledge and science, inspired by art, and motivated by compassion.
With these values in mind, I offer my services to those in search of a ceremonial officiant for memorial services, celebrations of life, weddings, and life cycle milestones. Please feel free to contact me about how I might create meaningful ceremonies with you, and serve as your officiant.
