Weddings

I perform wedding ceremonies for couples who desire to enter into a sacred union with each other. The ceremony begins with an exploration of your relationship, what you both love about each other, what differences and concerns need to be addressed, and your hopes for your future life together. Together, we design a ceremony and vows that are truly engaging and which are an authentic expression of your love and commitment to each other. As an ordained Interfaith Minister from One Spirit Learning Alliance and a NYC registered Officiant, I recognize all genders, religions, and cultures.

Make an appointment for a coaching session, or to discuss your needs for a spiritual ceremony, workshop or talk.

Funerals/Living Memorials

As a Funeral/Memorial Officiant, I spend time with you, learning as much as I can about your loved one and helping you to craft the most meaningful, personal honoring of them possible. As an ordained Interfaith Minister, I incorporate readings, poems, prayers, and music from whatever faith tradition your loved one felt closest to or from secular sources (whatever is most authentic to the person being honored). The service can be as simple or as elaborate as you envision. The ceremony is about what you and/or your loved one would have wanted, and my purpose as the officiant is to help it unfold with grace and ease for you, and your family and friends.

Blessings

You may desire special blessing rituals to celebrate or mark beginnings and endings. These include:

  • a new home

  • a new baby

  • milestone birthdays

  • anniversaries

  • retirement

  • releasing physical/mental/emotional challenges

  • loss of a loved one

  • death of a pet

A blessing or ritual can be performed privately or with family and friends. Contact me to discuss the personalized ritual you are seeking.

“I was privileged to have Persephone officiate at my mother’s funeral. She was especially sensitive to my mother’s wishes for a ceremony that was spiritual, but not religious. Persephone created a service that was lyrical, gently inspirational and emotionally healing for all present. She was the perfect choice for us in that difficult time.”
