Lisa Apolonio

Owner

I am a mother of 4, grandma to 3. I have been married for almost 20 years! I am an ordained, non-denominational minister, and I honor all faiths and paths. I am bilingual speaking both English and Spanish fluently. I began officiating weddings when my son decided to get married and have always been a sucker for a good love story! I'm not good with TV references as I've normally got my nose buried in a book and don't get much TV time in. If I'm not reading I'm probably cooking something up as that's my favorite thing to do. Spending time with family and making jewelry are high up there too!
