in Seattle

My training and 15 years of active ministry

as a Catholic Priest in Western Washington

included preparing a large number of

couples for marriage and officiating at their

weddings. Since resigning from clerical

ministry in order to marry.      

                                                                              I

have conducted an ecumenical wedding

ministry under the auspices of the

Federation of Christian Ministries for 25

years at weddings for hundreds of couples

from a broad spectrum of belief

backgrounds.

My ministry is certified by the Federation of

Christian Ministries and meets state

requirements for officiating at weddings.

Two plannings sessions prior to the wedding

enable me to get to know each couple and

to work with you to create a ceremony that

is unique and authentic to you.

My wedding ministry has brought me the

endorsement of a number of quality

facilities which recommend my services to

the couples they serve. These include the

Olympic Hotel, Salish Lodge, Woodmark

Hotel, Edgewater Hotel, Stimson-Green

Mansion, Skansonia Ferry, Hollywood

Schoolhouse, Willows Resort and others.

WELCOME …… IT’S ABOUT YOU

My approach to wedding ministry centers on each couple and

collaborating with you to create a ceremony that captures and

celebrates your unique relationship..

I feel the wedding ceremony should not be simply a solemn ritual

but a warm, personal and at the same time reverent expression

of your love.

 For some couples this means a more traditional ceremony; while

for others, the celebration is something more contemporary,

Some couples desire a more spiritual or perhaps incorporate a

religious theme.. I am confident we can capture  your ideas. For a
