I am an ordained interfaith/non-denomination minister,
trained and experienced as a Wedding Officiant and
registered with the New York City Clerk's Office
since the year 2000.
I am legally authorized to officiate wedding ceremonies
in the State of New York and in states where
officiant registration is not required, such as New Jersey.
My philosophy is one in which I respect and honor
a couple's beliefs and traditions, and encourage them
to fully participate in the creation of their ceremony.
I have worked with couples of various faiths.
as well as with mixed-faith and non-denomination couples.
Ceremonies may include personal and/or cultural traditions.
They may be romantic, civil and simple or spiritual/religious.
I am also experienced in performing Bilingual (Spanish/English)
or full Spanish ceremonies as well.
(También oficio ceremonias bilingües o completamente en español)
BONUS~A souvenier certficate, copy of the ceremony,
and pen used to sign the license, are provided to each couple!
I am available for weddings anywhere in New York
and on a limited basis in nearby locations
(within 100 miles of New York City-I do not drive!).
I have performed ceremonies in various venues,
including homes, apartments, parks, botanical gardens,
restaurants, community centers, the Empire State Building,
Central Park Buggy Rides, churches and chapels,
cruise ships and catering halls.
No Hot Air Balloons or Helicopters! 
(hehe)
If you are looking for someone who loves performing ceremonies, is
easy to speak with and who takes your commitment to each other seriously,
Please feel free to contact me for further information.
I am available to meet with you by appointment at a mutually convenient time.
You can come to me or I will go to you!
