Working
with all faiths, interfaith or the non-affiliated, Rev. Barbara assists
each couple in creating a meaningful and memorable commitment ceremony.
These range from grand to intimate, interdenominational, non-denominational,
spiritual, or uniquely their own.
Her
goal is to create a warm and loving atmosphere that truly honors the
occasion, and to assist couples in creating ceremonies that reflect
their beliefs and values. Her warmth and calm peaceful presence help
create joyous and loving celebrations.
At this initial meeting, Rev. Barbara reviews her
special Ceremony Booklet with each couple. The booklet contains a wide variety of
possible ceremony content. Using this Booklet as a starting point,
Rev. Barbara works with each couple to create their personalized ceremony.
The
Ceremony Booklet includes numerous suggestions for Convocations/Opening
Words, Invocations/Opening Prayers, Recognition of family/loved ones,
Messages to the couple, Special Readings, Vows, Ring Exchange, Unity
Candle Lighting Rituals, Family Rose Rituals, etc.
Rev.
Barbara is happy to meet with couples as often as they like to create
their perfect ceremony. She provides a Ceremony Program Outline
and detailed outlines for musicians, soloists and readers. Her goal is to create
a relaxed atmosphere for everyone.
