Minister Alicia Smith

Weddings and More...

Starting your new life together carries with it some challenges.  Your special day shouldn't be one of these challenges.  You would like to have a meaningful ceremony but can't find a minister who is willing to marry you because you don't belong to their church or are an inter-faith couple or they simply can't travel to your desired location.  Maybe you would rather have a simple private ceremony in your home or at the place where you first met...

We want to be the solution to your desire to have a personalized wedding ceremony that demonstrates who you are a s a couple and what is important to you both.

We offer affordable wedding packages that you can tailor to meet your needs and desire for this once in a lifetime event.  Let us help make a memory that will give you joy and happiness for years to come.
