Do you provide
samples of your ceremony?
This website is designed to
assist you in that regard. My general practice as a
wedding officiant is to communicate by phone and email
and to meet with you face-to-face to prepare an outline
that will reflect our discussions and email it to you.
Every ceremony is a little different as it reflects your
desires and preferences. I will work with you to make
sure that your preferences are all that you desire.
What are your
qualifications to perform a wedding ceremony?
I have been an ordained
pastor with the Rock of Roseville Church in Roseville,
California, for over 27 years, Prior to that, I was the
lead pastor of a Non Demoniational Church in
Roseville. Since 2009 I have been engaged in this
service as a wedding officiant and have performed
hundreds of weddings. Please

more about my services as a wedding officiant.
Do you perform
weddings outdoors or in unusual locations?
Since creativity and the
expression of your personal values and interests are
important to me, I have performed weddings in all kinds
of outdoor settings and unusual locations. I also do
home weddings and am open to an event-style wedding. I
also do elopements.
