Welcome to A Joyful Celebration! Weddings ~ Celebrants and Wedding Ministers for your Large or Small Celebrations of Love
Congratulations on your upcoming wedding. Are you looking for an "Ordinary" Wedding? Or are you looking for a wedding that is beyond what is usual, ordinary or regular? A wedding that you and your guests will be talking about for years to come? If you answered "Yes" to this question Then you want an "Extraordinary" Wedding! and you need an Extraordinary Wedding Minister!
I serve you as a Celebrant and a Minister for all your Sacred Occasions. My belief is that we are all divinely and very uniquely human. This guides my individualized and multi-faceted approach to conducting ceremony for you...no matter who you are...what you believe...or how you live your life.
I do not really prefer to call myself a "Wedding Officiant". Certainly this IS what we do, and it IS likely why you are contacting us. But almost anyone can "show up and officiate". Almost anyone can "read from a script". Some people even do this well.
I prefer to be called a "Wedding Celebrant" in terms of what we do for you on wedding day. As the definition states above, an Officiant "presides over" a "religious service". What if you don't want a religious service? What if I don't want to preside OVER anything? The concept of "participating" along side you, and "celebrating" with you is more aligned with my own values.
And although I do believe that just about anybody can be a Wedding Officiant, I believe it takes a special person and a special skill to a good Wedding Minister. Ministry encompasses all of the support we give you before, during, and after the wedding. It is what allows you to truly define your vision for the relationship you are unfolding. It is what allows you to be less stressed. It is what allows you to deepen your relationships with others who are important to you, like your children. Or even your mother (or future mother-in-law) as she is making you crazy trying to tell you what she thinks your wedding "should be".
So I invite you now to take a leap of faith in me, and in my ministering to you as you contact us using the form to the right.
That's a bit about me. I look forward to meeting and learning a bit about you too. Explore our Custom Ceremony Creations
