As an interfaith minister and a global ritual expert (author of The Joy of Ritual) I am here to gently guide you into this beautiful new chapter of your life together. I have been honored to marry many couples over the years and I deeply believe that the most essential element of a wedding is that it be crafted to hold true meaning for you as a couple. I have been featured in The Knot, Manhattan Bride and Bride Again with my wedding tips, ways to create your own traditions and crafting the perfect ceremony. I would be honored to co-create your ceremony and usher you into this beautiful new stage of your life as a newly married couple.

I have performed marriages on the beach with a bonfire, in a wedding cottage nestled in the forest, in the gardens of Central Park, in glorious old churches and synagogues and temples of all faiths, on mountainsides and hilltops, beside rushing creeks and waterfalls, in New York City apartments, in exquisite mansions, on a private pier of one of the world's most exclusive hotels, and on land that was the bride's great-great-great grandparents. I have performed marriages intimate weddings with two guests to a large wedding with hundreds of guests.  I have enen performed destination weddings in the Bahamas and Florida. What is your dream? I am here to provide you with ideas and inspiration at this extraordinary time of your life and I am dedicated to supporting your vision.

"Thank you for all the hard work and time you put into creating our wedding ceremony. Many people told us it was the most meaningful and beautiful ceremony that they had ever witnessed. Some even took it a step further and thanked us for renewing their faith in marriage ceremonies. You are a wonderful, loving woman so willing and eager to share yourself and your calling with others. We feel so lucky that you officiated our wedding. Thank you for helping us make our wedding such a memorable event."

"Thank you so much for creating and holding such a sacred space for us on our wedding day. James and I were both moved deeply by your blessings and words to us and our friends and family. You helped us weave together a ceremony and celebration that was heartfelt and soulful for us and bonding for all who shared in that glorious day."
