Celtic Handfasting Ceremony - $300 for a full Celtic cerimony or $100 if adding a handfasting segement to a  traditional wedding cerimony

The Celtic tradition of handfasting can be a true testament to those who wish to enter into a spiritually binding commitment. Many people who've found true love but choose not to pursue a legal marriage, find this alternative option an amazing way to join together with love ones and celebrate a service which offers all of the joys and festivities of a traditional marriage without the legal aspect. These timeless ceremonies can also add a heartfelt and romantic touch to any traditional legal wedding ceremony & are usually a staple for Celtic, Pagan, Irish & Scottish weddings. A handfasting ceremony is spiritually & universally recognized HOWEVER please remember that handfasting does NOT replace a legal marriage certificate when it comes to matters of family courts, assets division or insurance beneficiary requirements. If you want the marriage recognized legally, it can be included as a portion of a traditional marriage ceremony (usually right before the rings are exchanged). Handfasting is a tradition that was used before legal marriage was invented & it is thought to represent a much deeper commitment than a traditional legal marriage which often includes phrases like "as long as you both shall live" or "till death due us part", for example. This differs in a handfasting ceremony as these phrases are excluded & the hands are bound in the hereafter in addition to the physical life. This ceremony is conducted in a similar fashion to a traditional wedding except that after the rings are exchanged (if rings are included) the couple holds hands & the best man & maid of honor each place an end of the traditional rope over the couple's joined hands then pull simultaneously placing a knot in the rope (this is where the expression "tie the knot" comes from). 
Funeral Service - Always free of Charge 
The harsh, yet unavoidable reality of this precious gift of life that we all enjoy on this earth is that one day, whether fully prepared or unexpectedly, we will all have to make the journey of passing into the next world & leave behind those we love & who love us. This can be a very difficult time for loved ones & Rev. Williams offers positive & reassuring  eulogies for the dearly departed & for those who remain behind to remember & honor their memory. Rev. Williams will work together with loved ones to provide just the right words & feelings to convey a message that all in attendance will be beautifully reassured of the eternal gifts & life the universe still has waiting for us when our time here has come to an end. This service is always provided on a complimentary basis. 

Pet Loss Greif Counseling

Spiritual Grief Counseling for the Loss of a Pet

Spiritual Grief Counseling for the Loss of a Pet

Most of us have experienced the sadness and difficulty in dealing with the loss of a pet. To be honest, this period of grief can be just as devastating as the loss of a person we love. Pets are our loyal companions in life and when their time to depart comes, many of us will feel that the world might expect us to suffer silently and take this loss with the understanding that it's just a pet and we should move on with little challenges, nothing could be further from the truth. As a dog lover and former ASPCA volunteer, Rev. Williams understands that we may need extra comfort and spiritual support through this time. The reverend officers beautiful and reassuring words, spiritual guidance and support to individuals and families who have laid to rest a faithful companion. These seasons are available in person in the comfort of your own home, via Zoom video conference, via telephone or any public location of preference. These seasons typically run from 20 - 40 minutes and there is never a fee for this service.

PRE-MARRIAGE COUNSELING 
Pre-wedding stress & anxiety is very normal & is experienced by many people as the big day approaches. Rev. Williams is happy to provide pre-marriage counseling upon special request. Please contact the reverend at least 30 days prior to the wedding day if you'd like to schedule a couple of sessions to prepare for your wedding day. These seasons are available in person in the comfort of your own home, via Zoom video conference, via telephone or any public location of preference. These seasons typically run from 20 - 40 minutes and there is never a fee for this service.
