~ Wedding Ceremonies ~

At our 1st consultation we will communicate YOUR Wedding Ceremony wishes...Couples can be involved in the construction of their Ceremony & Vows, whether you prefer a traditional religious ceremony, non-denominational ceremony, Interfaith Ceremony or need any advice if you've not made that decision as a couple yet. I'll be there to guide you through the process if you're newly engaged, having a second wedding or doing a themed wedding, we can tailor your wedding ceremony & vows to fit your situation. As I meet with the two of you I am confident I will create the most individualized, special and appropriate ceremony for your Wedding day that promises to be memorable.

~ Unity & Commitment Ceremonies ~

A Commitment Ceremony is an event that does not involve laws or government agencies in any way; there is no legal license and your legal status does not change. Committing your love for one another without the legalities.
Rituals and Ceremonies are important events in the lives of individuals, partners and families. A multiple partner family can have one, although the state of North Carolina does not allow for a legal multiple (Polyamory) marriage.
Unity Ceremonies or Commitment Ceremony means many different things to many different people- It can be presented like a "Traditional Wedding", or be the most alternative event you could think of to bless your relationship. Any Ceremony you choose means no less to you, your Partner(s), family or to me!
Beautiful commitment vows to each other with family & friends or an imitate gathering of your commitment to love.

~ Vow Renewal ~

Say " I Do" again!
What better way to celebrate your enduring love for your spouse than to renew wedding vows?
Perhaps you've made it to 10, 25, or 50 years together and you want the world to know that you'd do it all over again in a heartbeat! After years of marriage, lots of couples choose to do a wedding vow renewal and recommit to each other.
