Are you of two different faiths?
We live in an imperfect world. Very different from the stuff that fairy tale's are made of. Cinderella didn't have to worry about "same religion" or "what is my dad going to say when I tell him he's a *#*#*#?" Your marriage is the blending of the two of you AND your respective families. This is the real world. We have stress and "issues".
A special sensitivity is sometimes needed to help couples that are working though the "blending" of their faiths.
I take great care to make your wedding meaningful to your faiths, your heritage and families. Together we are creating a new family, your family. With an acute awareness of mind I work hard to help bring families together who are dealing with "issues" by transcending your differences, celebrating your uniqueness and making you a beautifully blended family.
Whether you are Christian, Jewish, spiritual, inter-faith, non-religious, non-denominational or somewhere in between, I am committed to creating a personalized wedding that incorporates your beliefs and values.

The process begins with an in-person meeting to see if we are a good fit for each other. If we agree to work together, we will discuss what is important to you. With the information you share with me, I will design a ceremony that truly reflects who you are and what your wishes are.
Additional ceremonial services to the standard “couples” services that can be incorporated into your ceremony are the following. This is not a comprehensive list just a suggestion of what you might start thinking about in order for me to create the wedding you desire.
- Christian Wedding Rituals
- Jewish Wedding Rituals
- The Rose Ceremony
- Couples Hand Fasting
- Children’s Hand Fasting
- Family Medallion Ceremony
- Children’s Pledge to Bride and Groom
- Sand Ceremony
- Unity Candle
- Ethnic Closing Blessing vs. Standard Blessing
- Rose exchange to Mothers
- Selection of a Marriage Ketubah and the reading of the Ketubah
- And many more
I will present a ceremony, professionally and caring, that will bring you and your guest tears of joy and plenty of smiles.

While I am not a Rabbi, I am happy and comfortable performing a “Jewish” style ceremony for any couple that desires one.
Maybe your initial wedding wasn’t exactly “the perfect” day or you simply want to renew the special feelings you have for one another. The renewal of vows is the perfect choice. Together we will create a personal ceremony that reflects the love you felt for each other as bride and groom and how your love has grown over the years. Invite your family and friends and create a new wedding day in which you and your love will renew the vows you made to each other.
Have you been together for years or you’re in the early stages of love? Either way, your decision to commit to a life partner is a wonderful step in life and your relationship. I would love to be part of that day. Together we will create the words that will be spoken from your hearts on your special day. It will be a personal reflection of your relationship and your future years together.
Meaningful, Personal and Unique... at the location of your choice and together we can write specialized vows that reflect your love and life together. Be assured that your wedding day is of the utmost importance to me and that I look forward to helping you create the most meaningful, personal, and unique ceremony possible.
I offer you an elegant, personally meaningful wedding ceremony that you will cherish for the rest of your life.
I offer you my time and friendship. While I do not require premarital counseling, I would be honored to meet with you before your ceremony to get to know the two of you better and provide you with helpful advice for a life time together.
