ABOUT THE MINISTERS
|
|
We are ordained Christian Church Ministers with many years experience planning
and conducting weddings. We do non-denominational weddings, both secular
and religious for people who do not have a church. Each wedding is personalized
in consultation with the bride and groom. Our goal is to develop wedding
events that are appropriate, joyful, relaxed, and authentically spiritual.
We have performed weddings in almost every setting, from formal cathedral
weddings to very informal outdoor weddings. We want each wedding to be
a quality experience that reflects the highest commitments of the participating
couple. |
|
About Counseling
|
| There are good reasons for couples to consider
pre-marriage counseling. While we have counseling experience, we generally
recommend that couples who feel need for counseling seek it from those
who specialize. Assistance is provided in determining whether counseling
might be valuable. |
