Plan Your Perfect Wedding
In North Central Florida

Celebrate Your Special Day
In a Special Place
As a wedding officiant and ordained minister in the Universal Life Church Ministries, I offer couples both traditional and non-traditional wedding ceremonies.
You are invited to celebrate one of the most important days of your lives together here in beautiful north central Florida. Our beaches, parks and venues provide an array of beautiful backdrops for your wedding ceremony. Local wedding planners, photographers, restaurants and hotels stand ready to make your wedding day memorable.
Your Wedding
Your Way

Every bride and groom share unique expectations for their wedding ceremony. Many couples choose a non-denominational theme, often exchanging vows they have written. Each ceremony is special and reflects the bride and groom’s individuality. Couples often share a unity candle or blend sand; mix wine or seal an anniversary box; plant a tree or release a sky lantern. As your wedding officiant, my goal is to provide the exact experience you anticipate. An event to be treasured for a lifetime. The choices are many and as individual as you.

Your Inquiry is Welcome
We Are Here To Help
As a resident of Cedar Key, I have resources, recommendations and referrals available throughout the region. Whether you are marrying or reaffirming your vows, I am privileged to serve your needs.
My non-denominational services are fully accredited by the Universal Life Church Ministries and recognized by the State of Florida.
Telephone or email for additional information. Referrals graciously provided.
