Joan & Deborah & the DSM Art Center Rose Garden






















Non-traditional & community-supported ceremonies are more popular than ever!

Marriage is an important event and one that can be filled with love and spirituality without necessarily being religious. I'll help you develop a ceremony that depends on your own beliefs and values. If those beliefs contain some of the elements of the spiritual tradition you grew up in, great. If not, that's great too. I'll explore your beliefs with you and create a ceremony centered on your love and your relationship.

We can also make new traditions that are especially relevant to our lives. One of the favorite new traditions I have been working with is to reflect the couple's wedding vows in vows that the community takes with the couple. For so long, LGBT couples have struggled against society's pressures in order to make their relationships work. It is time we acknowledge the loving community that surrounds us and ask that community to support our wedding vows. After all, it takes a village, right?

Whether you want a civil ceremony, a spiritual ceremony, or a modern Buddhist ceremony, I'd really enjoy helping you to make your wedding day a perfect representation of your relationship. The comment I hear most often is, "the ceremony was so perfect for them!"
