With 30 years experience, there isn't much that Deborah hasn't encountered. Green grooms, bridezillas, overbearing mothers, challenging ceremonies.... from church to wineries to a backyard setting, Deb has shepherded couples from that first planning call to their nuptial kiss.
Our Affirming, Accepting Church
Did you have a dream to be ordained in a faith community but were held back by gender, sexual orientation or the demands of life? Are you ordained with a mainstream church and looking to incardinate into a progressive and inclusive Church?

Who Ya Gonna Call? The Savvy Celebrant!
The woman on the other end of the phone was nervous. "I need some advice," she said in hushed tones. "I am with a couple and they want something called a handfasting. Is that legal?"
An email comes in. It is a person who was recently given a license to marry people. "I am terrified. I don't remember anything from my weekend. Can you help me?"
Another email from a person asked to officiate at a friend's wedding: "Is it okay to charge her? It is taking a lot of my time."
"I am a licensed officiant, but no one is calling me. How do I get started?"
Maybe you have questions too or need feedback or advice. I have been in your shoes -- and continue to officiate at dozens of weddings throughout the year. I train deacons in all aspects of life celebrations. I am the presiding bishop of an inclusive and progressive church.
It is part of my ministry to be there for officiants and clergy and, as an extension of this important work, I would be very happy to Skype or talk on the phone to discuss any questions or concerns you have.
