What better personifies a wedding in paradise than a barefoot wedding on the beach at sunset?  

We specialize in Florida beach weddings, offering beautifully customized wedding ceremonies at area locations including Bradenton Beach, Holmes Beach, Coquina Beach, Crescent Beach, and Venice Beach.   

If you'd rather a different venue, you can exchange your vows in a garden, park, resort, hotel, country club, museum, restaurant, on a boat, or even your backyard.  

Whether you're planning an elopement, a large wedding, or a vow renewal, I customize each ceremony to the couple.

We can work together on your vision for your special day, whether it is the traditional ceremony or a very romantic, civil (non-religious) ceremony that I have compiled. You may write your own vows, and we can include any children either of you may have, your parents/stepparents, and special friends. We can incorporate a Unity candle (if inside a building) or the sand ceremony (if outdoors). Poems, prayers, readings, or blessings can be included.

Tell me your ideas and ask me your questions! 

My fee includes

• Prep time
• Tip sheets for planning your ceremony
• A decorative certificate
• A keepsake copy of your customized ceremony (the booklet from which I'd read)
• The unity sand celebration (you get to keep the container of your blended sand)

Because the fee also includes my travel time, it varies by location. A rehearsal would be additional because not everyone requires one.  

I look forward to making your wedding dreams come true!  

I have been very fortunate to be involved in the exchanging of vows with thousands of different couples.

People from all different walks of life and places on this earth, and although no two ceremonies are ever alike, there are some constants which have stood the test of time.

The love I see in the couples I marry always warms my heart. To be involved in their most special of commitments is truly an honor. The happiness and joy that accompanies being joined to that special someone always leaves me with a smile.
