Weddings By the Sea: in Mendocino and Mexico

“We meet by the Sea to exchange our sacred vows and join our lives in love and gratitude……”

It is a great honor to perform a wedding ceremony. Your wedding will reflect your vision as a couple. It is an opportunity to publicly declare your love for one another and to touch and engage your community and family in support and celebration.

I will work with you to find just the right sentiments for this important rite of passage, starting with a conversation about your vision and needs. Each couple is unique and deserves to have their wedding day reflect that uniqueness. 
I can supply you and your beloved with a sample outline and words to get you started thinking about the tone and style of your ceremony. Throughout the process I will assist you both as you to bring your vision into clear focus. 
I am a non-denominational minister, ordained by the Church of Divine Man, Berkeley, California. I have performed heartfelt weddings, commitment ceremonies and vow renewals on the Mendocino Coast since 1983. I also perform bilingual weddings for Spanish-speaking couples. Recently I have expanded my wedding services to Mexico.

Kind Words

"I am sharing thoughts of Sarena's wedding. Your energy and emotional presence supported the love and commitment of my daughter and son-in-law's exchange of vows and expression of their love. There can be no limit to emphasizing the importance of the energy, sensitivity, capacity for love and empathy of the individual that holds the space and speaks the thoughts of the bride and groom. A wedding is a sacred ritual that has the potential to open the hearts and minds of all those present. Sarena and Sean's wedding was the realization of the great potential of a gathering in the name of love. Thank you Nansee for the beauty of your words and the purity of your emotional presence."
