A Little About Me…

I have had the most amazing, fun, and adventurous life – filled with so many exciting and unique experiences. Friends and family consistently tell me I should write a book…but I can’t sit still long enough to do that because I am afraid of missing out on something more exciting that could be waiting around the corner!

Born and raised in Western Canada, I am very proud of my Canadian roots. However, as much as I love Canada…I do not love the brutally cold winters, so I headed to the desert and lived in Las Vegas for 25 years which is where I first became a Wedding Officiant. Serving weddings in the ‘Wedding Capital of the World’ was exhilarating!

My most memorable adventures growing up began when I received my “wings” as a glider pilot at age 16; I was a private pilot at age 18; went skydiving at 19…and then decided it was time to learn how to drive a car. I worked in the travel industry for many years as a flight attendant, airline reservations, travel agent, and then a large internet travel company. I LOVE to travel! The travel industry became very unstable so I transitioned to public sector positions where I worked in Human Resources for both Fire and Police departments.

While public sector jobs offer stability and perks, I was itching to get out of the stifling office environment and become self employed. I always knew in my heart that I wanted to be independent and “do my own thing.” We all know the hardest part of stepping into the entrepreneurial world is figuring out – “what is that thing?” What profession, idea, or concept is the one that will inspire, evoke passion and emotion that makes you realize…I found it!

It was quite by accident that I happened to stumble upon this new profession of becoming a “Wedding Officiant.” After attending a friend’s elopement on the Las Vegas strip and experiencing a very cold and “loveless” experience, I decided to check into this individual’s “job title.” When I first mentioned it to friends and family – they thought I was crazy for even considering being a wedding minister/officiant/reverend. I cry whenever I watch a wedding on TV, or while watching “Say Yes To The Dress!” I did some research and set out to obtain the necessary credentials, licensing and permits to officiate weddings. With the Ordination and guidance provided through American Marriage Ministries, I taught myself how to do an actual ceremony…and then, several hundred more creative ceremonies in every location imaginable!

There are no words to express the overwhelming honor, love, and blessings I receive as I unite each Couple in love. This profession is the most rewarding and fulfilling of all my life experiences.

Serving weddings in Florida is an absolute dream…the beaches, the ocean, the foliage, the venues, fellow vendors – all amazing! The humidity is a bit of a pain but nothing extra hairspray and an added layer of professional makeup can’t fix!

Welcome to Paradise….weddings in Florida are truly magical in every sense of the word, with endless romantic locations and sunsets to share your vows! 💖
