Introduction
I love being a wedding officiant! It's an honor and a blessing to be part of a couple's "love story". I personalize each ceremony that I perform to reflect the individuality of each couple. Whether in a large venue with 300 guests, or an intimate 4 person ceremony in the park; your wedding day is special! I treat each couple the same ~ like a family member. Beside your ceremony, I will also help guide you through the licensure process, from application to certification. I live (and officiate) in NJ but am also fully licensed to officiate in NY. I have officiated many times on Staten Island, and in Brooklyn, (also on Liberty Island by our glorious Lady Liberty!) At this time I am not traveling to Manhattan. In addition to officiating for over 12 years, I am also a Pediatric Nurse, currently working as the school nurse at The Waldo International School in the Jersey City waterfront area. I work September thru June, Mon-Fri 8:00am-4:00pm. Although my business hours reflect this, I am available to discuss officiating for you during my lunch break on weekdays, and when schools are closed for holidays or breaks, and of course after those hours and on weekends! I have also been successfully fingerprinted and passed numerous background checks. I look forward to working with you!
