Check out this vimeo of excerpts from a wedding Rev. Crystal performed for Arieanna and Gannon in 2016.

You’ve probably waited a long time, and kissed a lot of frogs or frogettes before you finally found each other. Your wedding ceremony can be a celebration of your journey, your happiness and imagining the future that is unfolding in front of you.  My goal is to convey the uniqueness of who you are as a couple through the tradition of the marriage ceremony.  Your ceremony won’t be like anyone else’s, because the two of you aren’t like anyone else.”     Rev. Crystal

I am a non-denominational minister, ordained in 1989 by the Unity School of Christianity.  I retired from church ministry in 2011. Being part of a church allowed me to find what I am good at, and that’s creating ceremony and ritual. Life is too short to not enjoy it. These days I focus on doing fun things that are meaningful and inspiring. Weddings are the perfect work for me, as is teaching relationship building.

Dedicated Wedding Minister

“I’ve been doing weddings since I was ordained in 1990 from seminary. Over the years I’ve discovered what works for couples and what doesn’t. What’s relevant and helpful to each couple is different. I like the challenge of creating something that reflects their uniqueness because I learn about love because of them.

“I’ve honed my skills so my ceremonies are very personal. I talk directly to my couples without minimal reference to my script. From the reviews and direct feedback I get, people are truly grateful their ceremony was so personal and warm-hearted. Because I take time with my couples and use a unique process no one else does, I’ve learned how to translate my couple’s values into a meaningful ceremony.”

Thankfully I receive many enthusiastic reviews from my couple’s and their family and friends because they’ve been inspired by my couple’s ceremony, too.

Wild Child

In the ’70’s, I was a wild child, a risk taker. I love freedom. But I also value accountability. When I hitch-hiked three times across the country I never worried because I felt connected to a spiritual presence that I listened to. I knew when to stick my thumb out and when to ignore or walk away from a ride. I took my Gibson acoustic guitar and my very beloved dog-companion, Wanda June with me everywhere. I learned so much and still have friends from my hippie days.

My hitchhiking days are over though. But I still love having the freedom to choose AND be part of setting new standards of what is possible in life. I don’t believe we are here on this earth to suffer, nor to ‘learn lessons’ to make up for something in our past. We have so much potential, and have barely scratched the surface. I hope to be an example of the power of our spiritual connection to my couples and in life.

My ‘claims to fame’ are that I saw live, in concert the rock ‘n roll and folk greats, Jimi Hendrix, Joni Mitchell, Jefferson Airplane, Bob Dylan, Jim Morrison, The Band and John Lennon & Yoko Ono (to name a few).
