Weddings
of Heart

The love you and your partner feel for each other is unique, singular, powerful. Your wedding day is the opportunity to share with the world just exactly how you feel about each other. And your wedding ceremony is the way that you do that.

Your guests may not remember much about your flowers or the food at the reception, but they will definitely remember a lovely, heartfelt ceremony that has them teary-eyed and joyous all at the same time. A beautifully crafted ceremony should be the foundation of your wedding day. I am here to listen to you and to create with and for you these most important moments.

My objective is to help you discover the depth and meaning of your love and your life. As a certified celebrant, I have been trained to write and perform all types of ceremonies. In addition, I am an ordained interfaith minister, not affiliated with any one religion, but embracing them all.

I have access to many resources such as poems, readings, and sample vows, as well as a basic knowledge of rituals from many cultures and faiths that can enrich your ceremony. I can thus create blended ceremonies for couples with different faiths or cultural backgrounds. For couples who do not belong to any particular church, a ceremony with overtones of universal spirituality may be suitable. I also write and officiate at wholly secular ceremonies for those who prefer this.

Because Connecticut law makes same-sex marriages legal, it is my distinct pleasure to officiate at gay and lesbian weddings, for out-of-state couples as well as for Connecticut residents.

Before I became a celebrant, I worked as a professional writer and editor. In leisure time, I enjoy reading, writing poetry, and hiking and wondering at nature. My spiritual path has led me to an interest in world religions and metaphysics. Canadian philosopher Kenneth G. Mills mentored me for many years.

Celebrancy has brought me the welcome opportunity to come to know many beautiful people and their stories. Won't you be among them?
