About Me
I provide a steady presence during difficult times.
Since 2007, I have had the privilege of officiating weddings, funerals, memorials, and grave-side ceremonies while helping families mark life’s most meaningful moments. My ceremonies are never generic. Each one is created with care to reflect the story, spirit, and personality of the people being honored.
I believe that heartfelt ceremonies can hold both depth and lightness. In both weddings and memorials, I encourage space for joy, laughter, and moments that feel genuine and human. Families often describe my style as warm, steady, and authentic, with just enough creativity to make each service memorable.
Serving Southern New Jersey and the Philadelphia metro area, I consider it an honor to help families and couples celebrate, remember, and connect through ceremonies that truly matter.
