Whether you want an intimate elopement, traditional Christian ceremony, civil ceremony, interfaith celebration, second marriage, vow renewal, or highly personalized wedding experience, I provide professional guidance from our first conversation through your wedding day.
Services may include ceremony planning, personalized ceremony scripts, vow-writing guidance, unity and family elements, rehearsal leadership, premarital coaching, and marriage-license completion and return for recording.

I got married in March 2025 to my spouse and we used Dr. Rene as our officiant! It was a beautiful ceremony and Dr. Rene did an amazing job!
