I am a Life-Cycle Celebrant®, ordained non-denominational minister, civil wedding
officiant and founder of Heartwarming Ceremonies and Heartwarming Elopements. I reside in Holly Springs, North Carolina and can legally officiate
and solemnize marriages in the state of North Carolina.
After graduating and becoming certified by the Celebrant Foundation and Institute in Montclair, New
Jersey, I founded Heartwarming Ceremonies to offer distinctive ceremonies in North Carolina. My duty as your celebrant is
to bring expression, understanding and sincerity to your personal rite of passage.
My listening and writing skills allow me to establish trust, build rapport and
create a memorable ceremony for you from a non-denominational perspective. I work with you by listening intently to learn
what is truly important to you. I will create a one-of-a-kind ceremony that embraces your individuality and respects your
beliefs. Whether celebrating a wedding, a vow renewal, or anniversary, each event is a custom mosaic — thoughtfully
composed with readings, music, poetry, original writing, traditions and rituals that are meaningful to you.
I grew up in New Jersey and lived there most of my life. In December of 2014, my
husband and I moved to Holly Springs, North Carolina to be closer to my family. The warmer temperatures, friendly people and lower cost of living were also factors in our decision to
move south. I have two grown daughters, (one who lives here and one who lives in New Jersey), three granddaughters and I am owned by a dog Delilah and cat Kitty. I hope you will consider sharing your special day with me!
Did you know that your vows are as important to your wedding ceremony as the photography, flowers, music and food? The words chosen in your marriage ceremony give meaning to everything else that happens during that day, and the promises that you make to each other during the ceremony set the parameters for your marriage.
