She feels fortunate to live in Massachusetts, the first state in the US to legalize gay marriage. She believes that everyone has the fundamental right to the benefits, love, and responsibilities of marriage.

You and your partner are unique people. So are your histories, story, relationship to family and friends, your personal tastes, desires, dreams and vision for your wedding day.

Gay Friendly Wedding Vendors in Illinois

Victor Oswald, Chicago Wedding OfficiantI am a certified celebrant belonging to the Celebrant USA Foundation, as well as a wedding officiant. I both officiate and design personalized weddings, vow renewals, same-gender ceremonies, divorces, and end-of-life and pet tributes for people of all beliefs and values in the greater Chicago area.

Before I did so, I thoughtfully considered why I should become a Celebrant. It is because there are so many reasons to be thankful. So many people have touched my life, and I feel it is time to repay that kindness. Over the past years I have become a more socially conscious citizen, convinced, no matter what our beliefs, that we are all connected and truly “one” with the Universe.

Gay Friendly Wedding Vendors in Nevada

David Oliphant, Gay Wedding Officiant, Las VegasNevada Gay Unions was founded by David Oliphant, a native Nevadan, the middle of 5 boys and the son of parents who have been married 52 years and counting! “It’s a blessing for me to help unite two people who are in love, want to share their commitment in front of their family and friends and who choose to share their lives together.

I became ordained in 2003 to marry friends and since have married a number of couples (both straight and gay) in churches, in back yards of private homes, on the Playa at Burning Man, looking over majestic Lake Tahoe, standing on the beach in Maui and at the base of Half Dome in Yosemite National Park”.

Choosing the right officiator is very important. The moment the two of you exchange vows, rings, glances of love, tears, etc. will be one you will cherish and remember for life! When you choose David you are selecting a man who is well spoken, warm, caring and understanding.

Ceremonies are written personally for each couple and can be spiritual, religious, both or neither, it’s really about what YOU want for your very special day. Prayers and vows can be added that celebrate your personal God, Buddha, Mother Earth, your heritage, etc. Or you can write the entire thing yourself!

Gay Friendly Western Massachusetts Wedding Vendors

JM the JP, Northampton, MassachusettsYour wedding day is important.

You may want a small ceremony because you are having a larger reception/celebration in your home state. You may want something short and sweet because your primary purpose is to have a legal marriage. Perhaps you already had the big shindig, or…

…you may have waited for this moment and now you want a big wedding—ceremony, reception, and honeymoon.

Whatever the mode, your Massachusetts marriage day will be treasured and remembered.

Since 2004, the Honorable J. Mary (JM) Sorrell has had the privilege of being the wedding officiant for over 350 couples. This includes dozens of couples from around the world and other states and Massachusetts residents. Her fees remain extremely reasonable because JM’s primary purpose is to serve.

The diversity of our LGBTQ communities is reflected in our unique ways of expressing ourselves. Your needs and preferences for ceremony text and feeling will be honored when you call JM— be it secular, spiritual, interfaith, simple or large— you decide.
