Commitment Ceremonies

There are many reasons why people choose to be in / remain in committed, loving and yet not legally binding relationships and I am honored to provide you with the same quality ceremony services offered to anyone else.

My goal for you is to create a beautiful ceremony that fully symbolizes who you are…. you in love, you as a couple, and you as individuals without regard for the legality of your commitment.

Below is text taken directly from UE, “Unmarried Equality” website. If you have questions regarding what you can and cannot do I would refer you to them.

“Commitment ceremonies mean many different things to different people. A commitment ceremony can look just like a wedding, complete with church, wedding gown, and hundreds of guests — but no marriage license. Or, it can be the most alternative event imaginable: a ritual to bless your relationship, or just a big party to celebrate your love.  A huge bash with all your friends and relatives in attendance, an intimate exchange between you and your partner(s), or a family rite of passage to strengthen the bonds between parents and children in a new unmarried stepfamily – call it a commitment ceremony, a wedding, a ceremony of union, or anything else you like!

Rituals and ceremonies are important events in the lives of individuals, partners and families.  A multiple-partner family can have one; so can a group of friends or a single person!

When UE talks about a commitment ceremony, we mean an event that does not involve laws or government agencies in any way; there’s no license or certificate, and the participants’ legal status does not change. Therefore, we recommend that couples who have commitment ceremonies should not say they are married, especially not on any official forms, and most especially not if they live in common-law states.”
