Ordained for 40+ years in the United Church of Christ, the most liberal and progressive denomination. We welcome all the people, not just some. I enjoy meeting people and providing this service because I know not
many people go to church anymore but would like the blessing of a wedding.
I live in West Columbia SC and prefer opportunities close to that area. I send you samples of wedding scripts and together we
build the words that you want it to say on this important day.

Nancy was an amazing officiant for our wedding. She helped us plan and write our vows and ceremony. She was always availabke to answer questions we had. She did an oustanding job performing our wedding. All our guests commented on how nice she was and what a good jib she did. Several of our single friends said when their time comes to get mattied, Nancy will be on their list. Thank you Nancu, for making our day perfect!

Although I ended up having a friend of my family officiate my wedding, Nancy was very professional and quick in replying to my original message, and willing to meet with me on very short notice. I would recommend simply based on that! Every bride has a million obstacles while planning, and finding an officiant shouldn’t be one of them!

Nancy was amazing! Our officiant got an assignment with the military and couldn't make it. I found Nancy on here a few weeks before the wedding. We met and talked a while, she got to know us some. She kept in touch and was always quick to respond when we contacted her. She did everything we asked her to wonderfully.

Amazing!! Nancy is THE officiant to have. She immediately got into the planning of our ceremony and getting to know us. She sent us examples of ceremonies so we could see what we wanted. She is super flexible and open to make sure your ceremony is everything it can be. She made sure on our wedding day that she was clear of where to be, what to do, and got everything in line to make sure our marriage license was complete and all done properly. Thank you so much for making our day even more special!!! ❤️

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I work with each couple on the exact prices. I want weddings to be affordable and available to all.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I meet with couples and get to know them: how they met, what they imagine their wedding to be, their words, their meaningful rituals. The service should say what they it to say, not my words. I have many samples to give them ideas of what others have used in their weddings.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am an ordained Pastor of the United Church of Christ. I have been in ministry for 38 years. I believe that Love is Love, and all should be able to marry.
