Are you willing to perform a ceremony at a non-religious site?Yes. We are delighted to perform ceremonies at any locale that suits our couples. We've had the pleasure of performing ceremonies in backyards, churces on college campuses, local parks and even in our living room...not to mention beautiful traditional settings as well.

Are you flexible in the wording used throughout the ceremony, including the vows?
Completely. Each ceremony is uniquely crafted with the wishes of each couple in heart and mind. We take our time to establish exactly how you want your ceremony to feel and what you want your ceremony to say about you and your life together.

Do you allow the couple to write their own vows, if desired?
Yes. Couples are encouraged to write their own vows or we can offer guidance and sample vows for inspiration. And, of course, we are happy to write them for you.

Do you have a list of readings pre-selected, from which the couple must choose?
We do have multiple resources to share but our couples are not limited to those. We encourage you to choose readings that are meaningful to you, whether we provide them or you do.

Do you require that premarital counseling be done?
Not requred but as spiritual counselors both of us are available for premarital counseling if wanted or needed.

Are you willing to perform pre-ceremony rehearsals?
Yes, we are available for rehearsals and look forward to having the opportunity to bond with the wedding party and family prior to the ceremony. it's also a great opportunity for us to lend a hand or advice if needed and to quell the jitters.

How will we begin?
We will arrange a meeting during which we will ask some important questions about your relationship, how you met, and who you both are in the world. It's important to us that we get to know you so that we can create the perfect ceremony for you. We will talk about how you envision your ceremony and what you want it to say to those who will bear witness to it. We will share with you our insights and suggestions based on what we learn from you and begin to create a collective vision of your ceremony. After our initial meeting you will be able to determine if we are the right ministers to create this moment in time for you. If you choose us, we will go on to the next step...creating a ceremony that is uniquely yours!

Why choose us?

We are so excited about creating meaningful ceremonies for our clients, holding space for the magic moment when they make their vows to each other, and celebrating this incredibly auspicious moment in time for all those present. We have made the choice to create our ministry together in an effort to exemplfy for our couples how wonderful marriage can be. As a couple marrying other couples, it is a great testament to "marriage".
