Ceremonies and rituals are customized to your beliefs and wishes to make them uniquely personal and meaningful for you.  Traditional or non-traditional, non-denominational or interfaith, spiritual or civil - together we will design and create a ceremony which fits you and your needs. 

The beauty of an Interfaith ceremony is that it can include the elements from different traditions which reflect your particular beliefs - those which speak to you and your partner/family - and can be held at a venue which is appropriate for you.  An Interfaith ceremony has flexibility.

Fees vary based upon your individual needs and desires as well as the complexity of your ceremony.  We can discuss fees in detail when we visit to plan your ceremony.
