"We are so blessed to have found you!
We cannot thank you enough for making our day so special. 
People are still raving about what a meaningful ceremony it was. 
We have had people tell us they do not cry at weddings,
but shed many tears at ours.
Thank you for launching the next steps in our journey. 
You made a difference in our lives!"

How are we different from other Ministers?

Large or Small:
If there are only two of you, an intimate gathering of 20 or several hundred, your ceremony will be personal and inclusive. Family and guests are included and honored for being part of your life!

Spiritual or Religious:
Whether you honor a specific religious tradition, come from different backgrounds, or have your own form of spirituality, your ceremony will celebrate what is most important to you.

Always Fun!
Leave any stress in the aisle and have fun at your ceremony!

Ceremony Planning:
To plan your unique ceremony, several meetings and/or conference calls are necessary to create your wedding, your way!  We help you choose or write your vows, add creative elements to your ceremony and decide on special readings and moments of sharing that include your guests.  No two weddings are ever the same!

Specialized ceremonies and vows:
We help you write your vows and add unique and special components to your wedding ceremony making it uniquely yours!
 

"Thank you for such a wonderful ceremony - it was special and will be a day we will cherish forever!  I'm so glad we were surrounded by nature and supported by such a wonderful, thoughtful person like you!"

1. COORDINATION
   We makes it our responsibility to coordinate every detail of your ceremony so that nothing is forgotten.  Even if you are working with a wedding coordinator, important details can be missed.  We talks with all of your key vendors ahead of time to make sure they know their responsibilities. We arrive early, stay late and covers every detail!
    
2. CONNECTION
   We take the time to really get to know you.  Though many meetings, phone calls, and conversations with friends and family, we get to know your story so that she can communicate who you are to your guests with love and concern, because by the day of your wedding we will really know you.  We have become personal friends with many of our wedding couples because of this!
    
3. CREATIVITY
   Cathy is one of the most creative wedding ceremony planners in the country and with her team, they thrive on working with couples to create ceremonies that are unique and creative; blending traditions and faiths to create a new whole which celebrates each couple perfectly!
    
4. COMMUNICATION
   We  take the time to write a very personal address for EVERY couple we celebrate with and then we delivers every word with joy and spirit.  All of our ministers are gifted speaker sand writers and bring their gifts of connecting with an audience to your guests.  They always leave feeling touched, and having laughed and cried with joy!
    
5. COMPASSION
   We bring a spirit of love, joy and compassion to everything we plan. Many a last minute jitter has been calmed by special words, and our caring spirit then blesses every guest with the magic of your wedding day!
    
6. CONFIDENTIALITY
   We have worked with many celebrity couples and we honors a strict code of confidentiality with every wedding couple.
