Officiants, Legal & Financial Services

Rev. Jude Smith
When asked if I perform same-sex marriages, my answer is that I perform marriages. Period. Love is love. I embrace all spiritual paths and am well-matched to those who consider themselves spiritual but not religious. I offer hand-crafted ceremonies co-created with couples and simple civil ceremonies. Destination weddings are a specialty and I easily and joyfully work remotely with out-of-town couples.
