Wedding Minister Lance (202) 903-0925. Call him today to check on availability.Rev. Lance provides non-denomination, religious, or non-religious wedding ceremonies that reflect your feelings of love and celebration. Your choice of ceremony, vows, and readings. Lance helps you express your spiritual feelings of Love at your wedding ceremony. His services are an outreach service to those who don't have a local pastor, are unable to use that minister due to certain circumstances, or who do not follow a faith tradition.

Wedding Faith or Denomination

No matter what faith (or no faith) you followed as a child or adult - Non-denominational, Spiritual, Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Buddhist, Hindu, or even no particular organized faith - you have been blessed the gift of Love for life and that should override any other consideration - different faiths, different cultures, previous marriages.

Nothing should get in the way of you having the wedding  ceremony that matches how you feel about the special moment to be remembered for a lifetime!

Wedding Prerequisites? 

And what about wedding officiant prerequisites or issues that you think may impact whether the wedding officiant feels you are "fit" for marriage? Forget them all except those required by local, state, and federal law. If you are in love, if you feel that you are meant to be together for life, then nothing else matters. I know that for many of you, this is a great relief.

Premarital counseling is available, but not required.

Wedding Officiant Questions

Here is an example of the issues and questions that couples share and that we resolve together:

  • Our families are of different religions, we are just spiritual, can our officiant put together a wedding ceremony that honors our parents while still honoring our feelings? Yes!
     

  • We are Catholic but because of divorce, we cannot get married in the Parish. Can we have a Catholic-style ceremony and have a wedding that our parent's will appreciate and be comfortable with? Yes!
     

  • We want a traditional ceremony but the location is non traditional. What can our wedding officiant make this wedding ceremony feel authentic, even if its in a hotel conference room? Yes!
     

  • Can our wedding officiant provide just a short spiritual ceremony? Yes!
     

  • We have children that one or both of us are bringing into the marriage. Can we include them in the wedding ceremony? Yes!
