We look forward to meeting you and helping you plan your perfect day. Your wedding day
is a day you will always remember.. where you will be surrounded by all your friends and family and we hope you will
consider us friends by the time we perform your wedding ceremony.
So.....here is a little bit about us.
Jeff and I have known each other since we were in high school on Whidbey Island, Wash. We both attended
college in Seattle, dated and became engaged but didn't end up getting married. We both went on to other marriages
and had families but kept in touch through reunions and friends. We reconnected in 2002 through his 30th reunion, began dating
and where married in 2004.
Over the years I have planned many weddings and receptions and found
one of the hardest parts was finding the perfect person to conduct the ceremony. If you don't belong to a church most minister
won't even talk to you (some are down right rude). So
you find a local officiant but some don't want to travel far, many seem kinda stuffy, many are way too religious
for our taste, many require premarital counseling, most don't take much time going over the details or won't
allow for customized vows and most have only a few sample ceremonies to choose from. They have all done this many times and don't seem to understand you haven't.
My husband
and I both have other full time jobs but we wanted something extra that we could do together that would incorporate
my love of weddings, event planning and some travel. We decided
to become ordained ministers/officiants through the Universal Life Church so we could
help couples get married the way they want too. We wanted to offer services that we found lacking in most other officiants
we had talked too.
We started our business in 2006 and planned on doing 'maybe' 12-15 weddings a year for fun.....we did over
60 and turned away over 200 our first year!! We were nominated in 'The Best Of Western Washington' poll for best
wedding coordinators in Seattle, we came in 7th!! Since then we have done several hundred weddings, we even hosted several
large weddings at our home last summer.
Last march I found out my daughter was going to have a baby!! Since she lives in Houston
we packed up and moved to Texas! We are now the proud grandparents to little Aubrey and have settled in to
our new home in Houston.
We are really enjoying getting to know the area and meeting new people as we have started
doing weddings there.
