My Officiating Services

From Rev. Laurie Sue Brockway

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! Let me tell you a little about the way I work and about my unique service to brides and grooms of all backgrounds.

What I offer my couples is the chance to work closely with me to design a wedding ceremony that enables them to truly express their love and commitment in a personalized and memorable way.

I consider myself a creative, contemporary clergy person. My philosophy is that your relationship is unique and your wedding ceremony should be too! I write ceremonies that reflect the values, beliefs and cultures of the bride and groom; at the core of the ceremony is a celebration of your love.

All the ceremonies I write are created especially for each couple.

As an ordained interfaith minister and non-denominational wedding officiant, I specialize in joining:

* Couples of different faiths, cultures and backgrounds
* Couples of the same or similar faiths who seek a personalized or non-religious ceremony
* Couples who feel disconnected from their faith yet would like a sacred, romantic ceremony

My contemporary spiritual ceremonies or romantic non-religious ceremonies are all created with your unique union in mind.

Because I am experienced with working with couples of all backgrounds I am comfortable including and blending elements from any tradition. Most recently I have officiated weddings that have included rituals, readings or elements from: Kabbalah, Judaism, Islam, Catholicism, Christianity, Wicca, Buddhism, Hinduism, Toaism, African, African American, Latin, Filipino, Thai, Native American, Celtic and Persian cultures.

Then again, some ceremonies make no reference at all to culture or faith. It is up to the couple.

We focus on including only the ceremonial elements that are meaningful! Also, I am glad to include the honoring of your families … rituals that allow families to participate … and readings and blessings that can be read by loved ones and friends.

I also like to offer brides and grooms tools to help create the perfect ceremony, and to reduce wedding stress along the way. To achieve this, I offer my couples:

* A comprehensive consultation and interview in which I outline all your options and help clarify the kind of ceremony you would like to have.

* A questionnaire that helps you both share your feelings and thoughts on marriage, and provides material that allows me to personalize your ceremony.

* A Wedding Readings e-book with a wide collection of wedding readings to choose from.

* Personal support with writing your wedding vows and expressions of love, and an assorted collection of wedding vows and ring vows to choose from or find inspiration from.

* Pre-marital counseling as needed.

My aim is to help you have an awesome wedding ceremony … filled with love, warmth, romance, creativity and good spirits.

With Many Blessings,

Rev. Laurie Sue
