Licensed Ceremonialist
I am a licensed minister & priestess through Universal Life Church (1992). I have written and performed 40-50 weddings and countless other ceremonies since 1989. Most have been outside in a natural setting - at the beach in California or Hawaii, beside a beautiful lake in the California Sierras, in the forest, or in someone's back yard.
I've been married to my husband for 54 years, and I particularly enjoy drawing on my own personal experience to help couples find the right words to express their love and commitment to each other, and what the wedding ceremony means to them.
My fee for officiating at a local wedding is $333-555 sliding scale and includes help write the ceremony (and vows if requested). I spend about an hour with each couple asking questions and offering ideas. Then I write up a suggested outline and email it to you. You can, of course, make changes. My fee also includes presiding at about an hour long rehearsal to help the couple work out any final logistics. Finally, of course, I show up early for the actual wedding and stay afterwards for pictures and/or the reception if invited.
I love creating rituals of all kinds, and I’d love to help you create one that truly reflects you. Please contact me if you need a Ceremonial Leader for weddings, memorials, seasonal celebrations or other rites of passage such as House Clearing/ Blessing, Blessing Way for New Mothers, Crowning, Croning, etc. I was a founding member of Sisters of the Sacred Circle in 1989 and have created and led so many rituals that I have lost count.
I am available to lead or help you create your own Moon Circles honoring the Divine Feminine and celebrating the Turning of the Wheel of the Year: full moons, new moons, equinoxes, solstices and cross-quarter days. My fee for other ceremonies is by agreement in advance and sometimes barter.
