So one day we decided to get married just the two of us and to do it the next day, even if I have always been a planner this just seemed right. What we didn't realize was that everywhere we called, they asked if we were members of that church, we needed to have counseling or simply the minister will not do that type of "rush" wedding. Someone at work suggested going to the courthouse when the Judge used to celebrate marriages at the Clerk's Office and we got married there. 

 

Years later, when I decided to stop working in the hotel industry to care for our son's multiple and special needs; due to unexpected life changes months later, I needed to work again but I couldn't go back to the hotel business and be a Head Department as now I couldn't work 14-16hrs+ shifts. That is exactly why I decided to become a Professional Wedding Officiant, so I can help those looking for a

Quick Process/Elopement/Same Day Wedding, Intimate Ceremonies, Traditional or Not, Vows Renewal and Commitment Ceremonies, Religious, Non-Religious and Interfaith.

​

My signature style:

​

I don't use scripts from the internet because I do mean what "I write" and my writing comes from my own life experiences and inspiration (which changes all the time) so I can provide something new and engaging to you and your guests.

There is nothing wrong with using a cookie-cutter script but those have been used for so long and most people have heard those many times before and why guests sometimes come to weddings thinking the ceremony will be monotone or unappealing.

I like to say I don't do sermons as I believe every couple's journey is unique and I consider a wedding to be a celebration so my style is about "your own" love story while still providing the right atmosphere for the rest of the evening.

And the main reason I write my own scripts is so they can be unique, something new, a message of love, inclusion and celebration.

But you certainly can edit or make any desired change to it since I work with Google Docs and will never be offended if you change something as this is YOUR WEDDING, so I always say we work "together" on it.

I provide options for mostly everything so you can have many options for the ceremony so it can be a reflection of who you are.

 

What I love most about my job is that there is always something new as all couples are different. I'm booked by Drs, Engineers, Nurses, Police Officers, NBA Players, Painters, Construction workers, Teachers, Hair Stylists, etc, so you get the idea.

In some way, is very similar to what I did back when I was a head department in the hospitality area...everyone is the same- no labels. 

I make sure you and your guests are comfortable and welcomed, it is who I am!! And as you already can tell, I like to talk/write! :-)

I'm just like Nanny McPhee: "I come when I'm needed and I leave when you want me to stay"

 

Nevertheless to say...I'm very friendly and I've always enjoyed interacting with people!! I'm lucky to be able to meet people from all over the world with exquisite cultures, traditions, languages and beliefs that always make me see life differently and

I'm very thankful for that.

So share as much as you like of your love/life story with me since that is actually the best part of my job!!

It is like reading a romance book/novel that changes with each couple I meet.

​

I believe inclusion is a way of living so if you speak a language other than English or Español, I will be more than happy to

accommodate as much as I can, especially so parents and grandparents can follow the ceremony.

I've performed ceremonies in Hebrew, Mandarin, Korean, Italian and Russian.

If an ASL interpreter is needed, is offered at no cost to couples.

 

I'm open to any ideas/predilections you may have...I enjoy new traditions or create a new one!!

Well, I may think twice if you want to get married while sky diving but if that is what you want... I will put my aviator glasses on!

No matter how, where or why you decide to get married...IS YOUR DAY!!

More facts about me:

-I attended Vet School at an Ivy League College for 2 years when I decided I wanted to be a Chef!! Yes, I can cook and bake...just don't remind my husband! So I kind of broke the family tradition! (Everyone is either a Doctor, Engineer or in the medical field)

-I wanted to work in Europe when I graduated from college (my roots were calling!) so I applied all over the world. They called from Indianapolis the next day after applying and 1 month later I was here...the rest is history!
