In September 2005, I became an Ordained Minister with Madonna Ministries, performing wedding ceremonies, infant and child blessings, home/business blessings, and funeral services. I was honored to perform my first official wedding for my daughter Kathryn and her husband David.
Ceremonies and blessings are very special rites. They serve to mark and memorialize the most important events of our lives, and express the love we have for each other. A special ceremony to express gratitude and invite Divine Grace and Spirit to bless and sanctify our most sacred moments is a joyful way to celebrate and re-affirm life.

Wedding Ceremonies
Do you live in Arizona and want to have a wedding ceremony with a minister, but don't belong to a church? As an ordained minister with Madonna Ministries, a "church without walls", I will come to you at the location of your choosing in Arizona to perform the wedding.
Your wedding will usher in a new path on your journey through life together. Your marriage will be a powerful, sacred and legal ceremony that unites you and your loved one in hand, heart, and spirit. As an ordained minister officiating at your wedding, it would be my honor to be a clear and perfect channel for the Divine Grace and Spirit - as above, so below. I am ordained to bless your new path, honor your highest selves, and mirror your hopes, dreams and intentions both here on earth, and beyond.
Each marriage ceremony is special, unique. The memories of your wedding day will remind you of the important reasons why you chose to get married: the love that brought you together and keeps you together. Your wedding can be as simple as a sunrise or sunset ceremony in a park-like setting, or a backyard barbeque, or a big complicated and orchestrated wedding at the local country club with 16 bridesmaids and groomsmen, tiny flower girls & ring bearer, disc jockey, caterers, wedding coordinator, etc. It is up to you to decide what type of wedding you would like to have.
There are no set rules regarding wedding ceremonies. The vows you exchange can be written by you, or I can suggest possibilities. However you choose to say your vows, your wedding is a sacred ceremony that binds you together, joining you spiritually and legally together in this life. It is a life-changing landmark event. It is an important part of the circle of life, and it is my goal as the officiator to invest into your ceremony all the blessing, light, love, joy, and sacredness that marriage deserves; I hold the intention for a life-long relationship that will carry you through this life and into the next.
Cost
My fee to officiate at a wedding starts at $250. This includes two meetings before the wedding for vows planning and/or coaching with the bride and groom, the rehearsal, and the ceremony.
My travel expenses for ceremonies located outside of the Phoenix metropolitan area will be the responsibility of the bride and groom. Weddings will be conducted only in Arizona.
Other Ceremonies
As an ordained minister with Madonna Ministries, I also conduct infant and child blessings, home or business dedications, and memorial services. For further information regarding these ceremonies and blessings, please call 480-695-2002 or feel free to email me.
