Ceremony Made Simple

Ceremony Made Simple www.ceremonymadesimple.com In addition to being a wedding officiant, I’m an interpersonal communication skills coach. (TheBusinessOfConfidence.com)

During the last twenty years, as a non-denominational wedding officiant, I’ve celebrated over one thousand weddings—non-denominational, inter-faith and cross-cultural. I haven’t seen it all, but I have seen a lot: from the bride who did somersaults while processing down the aisle, to the bride’s cousin who presented the rings while doing a belly dance with a sword balanced on her head, to the moth

er of the bride who tried to stop the ceremony! I’ve created ceremonies that honor the cultural sensitivities of couples that are as spiritually diverse as Muslim/Hindu and Buddhist/Atheist. In addition to officiating weddings, I now coach the friend or relative who has been invited by a couple to celebrate their wedding ceremony. My book, “How to Officiate A Non-Denominational Wedding Ceremony” (available on Amazon) guides you through every step of the process. I also provide one-on-one coaching services to make sure that you gift your couple with a ceremony that will be remembered for all the right reasons! I help people “find their voice” so they can communicate with confidence and forge healthy, successful relationships, both professional and personal.

It’s that capacity that’s allowed their marriage to thrive for 73 years!
