“I’m still floating on air, and I can’t thank you enough for your participation in our wedding. Your ‘words’ made everything feel just so right, so heartfelt, so candid and special-to everyone present. Like I told you at the start of that morning, you are a most beautiful soul and I feel absolutely privileged for having met you. I plan on staying in-touch, and I’d recommend you to any couple in a heartbeat.” Marianne, from Yonkers, NY

Ceremonial Services for All Life’s Cycles, Occasions and Transitions… A ceremony or ritual marks an occasion as significant and grounds it so it becomes real and memorable. There are specific actions and objects, real and symbolic, which are meaningful towards intention of the ceremony. And, there’s that magical or spiritual component of a ceremony and the celebrant that instills within us acceptance of the change, the reality that we’ve taken a step across a threshold into a “new” you, in a new phase of life. Attention to details in setting, words, symbols, logistics, etc are important components of a well crafted ceremony/ritual. Its purpose is to achieve its intention, transporting you in mind and spirit, to your goal, your vision. Connection and felt emotions are signs of a good ceremony; it stimulates emotions appropriate to the service, from happy to sad, and also creates a stronger connection among the participants and witnesses. I feel blessed to be a ceremonial artist gifted with all the skills and experience needed to make ceremony and ritual a meaningful, memorable event for you and your guests.
