My Personal Commitment
I am deeply committed to providing you with the most beautiful, moving and inspiriting ceremony possible. I will custom craft and joyously deliver an eloquent expression of what gives your union cause to celebrate. Tears of joy and happiness reminding everyone of why your union is so unique and profound is what I take pride in bringing to your special day. Your experience will be pleasant, stress free and easy. Your time, budget and comfort is always respected. I’ve officiated over 250 ceremonies the majority of them being interfaith, multi-faith or spiritual-nonreligious with an average range of 65-300 guests. Your ceremony will be delivered as if it is my first AND my latest – with great enthusiasm, professionalism, experience and a little sparkle.
Whatever your heart’s desire, I’m here to bring it to life and deepen its meaning so that all present have an exceptional experience. Let’s start with a 10-minute discovery call.
Personal & Custom Written
You see your ceremony as a creative platform from which to express your love and individuality. You may be questioning, or even challenging cultural expectations. It’s more important that your ceremony be about authenticity. You might want a non-traditional element or two, a custom written element, or an absolute departure from the expected. No matter the case, I’m excited about creating magical moments for you and your guests.
What About Secular Ceremonies?
I want to give you a truly authentic experience therefore I don’t offer secular ceremonies. While I respect and honor all beliefs, I wouldn’t be sincere in my delivery if I ignored Higher Power present when we gather in ceremony.
ELOPEMENT
Make it Romantic
AVAILABLE ONLY WITHIN THE CITY OF SAN FRANCISCO. A low-key, no-hassle ceremony with less than 20 guests in a public space: City Hall, Palace of Fine Arts, Presidio Park, Baker Beach, Golden Gate Park and Coit Tower.
SPIRITUAL-NON-RELIGIOUS

INTERFAITH
A Cultural Experience

Pricing
How much you ask?
Please understand that because I offer varying degrees of customization, and because I operate between three different locations, it’s impossible to say how much without knowing a bit more detail. Schedule a 10-minute discovery call with me and I’ll be able to give you a price range during the call. No pressure. I promise. If you’d like to proceed, we’ll schedule an in-depth consultation during which I’ll be able to give you a solid price quote. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Intimate Holiday Ceremony
I’ve walked by the Metropolitan Club on the corner of 5th Avenue and 60th Street maybe a hundred times. A few times I paused in front of the unmistakable wrought iron gate and peered in wondering just how beautiful the interior must be. Never did it cross my mind that one day I’d officiate a wedding at this 125-year-old private club.
