2have&2hold wedding officiant

I am back from Florida and Wedding Season 2025 has begun! Michael & Kimberly celebrated their wedding Saturday at the Country Club at Meadville. They exchanged their own vows with the backdrop of ponds and golf greens on a lovely sunny Spring day. What beautiful way to begin this season with this beautiful couple!

With Spring just around the corner, warmer weather means wedding season is about to begin and I will be ready to bring many couples together in marriage for yet another year. Once you have your date set and your venue booked, calling your officiant should be next on your list to be sure they are available for your special day. I am happy to answer any questions you may have and to talk with you about having “Your Wedding, Your way!

Tonight was a wonderful way to end my 2024 wedding season. Pradeep and Laura were married at the Marriott Bayfront hotel tonight. While they exchanged vows, Pradeep’s brother interpreted their ceremony for Pradeep’s family who came to Erie from India……and had never seen snow! Many other folks came from Chicago and South Carolina to support this lovely couple and to share holiday cheer. I am so fortunate to be part of this lovely couple’s magical day!

Lori and Scott got a Christmas miracle last night for their wedding at The Schoolhouse. It finally stopped snowing and it was clear so everyone was able to get out and attend this lovely couple’s wedding. Though it was still cold outside, it definitely was warm with celebration and support from many family and friends. Thank you Lori and Scott for giving me the honor of being part of your special day😍.

Emma and Benjamin chose The Martens Barn in Waterford to exchange their vows yesterday. A bit chilly outside but warm spirits were abound to wish this adoring couple all of their best wishes in starting their life chapter together.

And this Sunday afternoon, at the Erie Art Museum, Philip and Kayla were joined by their parents in an intimate ceremony before all were going to celebrate the occasion at Oliver's rooftop. I have been very honored to share a small part of all of these couple’s new journey in marriage.

Saturday evening, Erie’s historical Watson-Curtze Mansion served as the elegant venue for Suzan and Ed’s wedding. The trio named Leather & Lace provided live music for the ceremony and reception. Ed & Suzan’s children, a combination of seven, joined them in a flower ceremony where each had a different bloom that joined together in a single vase to form their new family. Congratulations to this loving couple!

I was asked to perform a commitment ceremony for Jaden and Christina yesterday at Presque Isle State Park, PA. Though they felt they were too young to get legally married, they wanted a formal commitment to their relationship and I was very happy to give this ceremony to them. Best wishes and much love to you both!

This past Friday, Ian and Heather had a beautiful fall day for their wedding at Madeline's Dining & Events in Platea. Their three children joined them in the bridal party and the family sand ceremony to formalize their family bond……including their very active 2 year old, Cora Lee, who kept everyone entertained. I love my gift from Heather😍.

Last Sunday, Rachel and Tyler exchanged vows in at the beautiful Whispering Trees Manor in Edinboro. Rachel’s daughter, Aria, stood as her mother’s maid of honor. Sparks of love kept spirits warm during the light fall drizzle of rain.

Whew! It’s been a busy fall season for weddings! Last Saturday, Montrell and Shi’prece renewed their vows at the Smith Chapel on the campus of Penn State Behrend. Their procession included Shi’prece’s mom and other family members who surrounded them with love and support. Congratulations!

Above and away from the main campus of Peek'n Peak Resort is ‘Woods and Wedges’ - their pro shop with a beautiful adjacent deck overlooking the Peak’s golf course. This hidden gem was the setting for Nathan and Olivia’s wedding on Saturday where invited guests offered their blessings and support to these newlyweds on this beautiful fall day.
