I see myself as holding the space for the couple

Audience: for those who we want a wedding officiant who knows spiritualy and religion but don’t practice or ascribe to a spirituality. Largely from the Judeo-Christian tradition of middle class north America.

Are you part of a religious tradition but still want your wedding to reflect you and your partner’s personal beliefs, practices, and relationship? Do you and your partner come from different religious traditions? Have you floated between various denominations over the years? Do you have a spiritual practice but are not part of a religious community? Do you not consider yourself spiritual or religious but still want your wedding ceremony to reflect and embody the power of ritual and hold a sacred space?
