Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope.

Heart-Centered Ceremonies Tailored to Honor Your Love and Unique Relationship
Your marriage ceremony is a sacred time during which my aim is to help you feel comfortable and confident that the ceremony matches your intentions and style. My approach is to co-create ceremonies that value and reflect your relationship. I am present not only as an officiant, but also as a collaborator and guide.
As an ordained interfaith and interdenominational minister, I work with couples of all faiths and denominations, as well as those who are non-affiliated. I specialize in conducting heart-centered, spiritually based ceremonies, and I’m happy to include elements from your faith tradition that are important to you. Whether you would like an intimate or large ceremony, indoors or outdoor, casual or formal, I will guide you through the process.
I serve couples throughout the Twin Cities metro area and other regions.

Thank you so much for performing our wedding ceremony! We appreciate all the time and effort you put into designing it the way you did and with all the personal touches. You coached us throughout the entire process so both of us felt more comfortable and at ease when the ceremony finally came. We enjoyed all the time we spent with you, getting to know you, and especially appreciated that the three of us worked together to really design the personalized ceremony we always wanted.
