After providing all kinds of ceremony services in southeastern Minnesota for more than 15 years, I’m modifying my practice going forward. I’m going to be sticking closer to home in Rochester, and offering simple wedding ceremonies only

  • Contact me anytime to schedule a simple Certificate Signing or Vow Exchange/Elopement style wedding in Rochester, MN.
  • I can usually accommodate your preferred date within a few days to a few weeks.

A Certificate Signing is a very minimal ceremony to legally marry you under Minnesota Law. Usually selected by couples who “just want to be married”, it includes the couple, their required two witnesses, and me. We meet in Rochester at your home or in a public venue like a park, coffee shop, pub or restaurant. With your legal paperwork from the county and a simple “I do” from you, we can have you married in just a few minutes.

A Vow Exchange or Elopement style ceremony is a bit longer, and can include a secular reading, personal or repeat-after-me vows, and a ring exchange. This ceremony is appropriate for private gatherings with just the couple and witnesses, or up to about a dozen family members and friends. Obtain your legal marriage paperwork from the county and we can make arrangements for your special moment in Rochester.

My goal is to recognize this moment in your life.
I’m located in Rochester, MN and offer simple ceremonies here. Please contact me to discuss your ceremony needs. I look forward to hearing from you, and working with you to create your ceremony.
