About Me
My Philosophy
Your wedding day should be about you, your beloved, and the utterly unique love you have for each other. You deserve a ceremony that reflects that.
The best wedding ceremonies are those that capture the spirit and personality of a couple. Your wedding ceremony tells a story. It can be whimsical, solemn, hopeful, out-of-the-ordinary. But above all, your ceremony should feel right to you.
Perhaps you were raised with religious or cultural traditions you wish to honor in your ceremony. Perhaps you are looking for a spiritual ceremony that is not necessarily religious. Perhaps you are blending two families. There are as many variations of a wedding ceremony as there are couples, and I welcome them all.
I will help guide you through choosing a ceremony or creating your own, selecting readings, poems, or passages, even writing your own wedding vows or ring exchange. I want you to have a wedding ceremony that feels just right for you - whatever that may be!
I welcome couples of any gender identity, sexual orientation, and color. Love's just cool. Let's celebrate it all.
About Janice
I have lived in Maine for over 20 years and have been a wedding officiant almost as long. My winding road includes previous lives as a Peace Corps Volunteer, a radio documentarian, and several years working with the City of Portland. Now I divide my time between being an actor and voice over artist, working for the Department of Theatre at USM, and marrying fantastic couples from all over the world. I love Maine, good food, being a member of Mad Horse Theatre Company, and my brood of furry four-leggeds.
