Rev. Maura Bernard

With over a decade of experience presiding at weddings, I am well-versed in crafting ceremonies and vows for loving couples of any gender, faith, or cultural background. My approach can be religious, spiritual, or entirely secular - I even offer Celtic, hand-fasting, and earth-based traditions. Plus, I'm happy to preside over non-religious ceremonies. My global spirituality ensures that your unique beliefs are reflected in your special day.

My base fee is $300, and I charge an additional $20 for rehearsals. As an ordained priest in the Celtic Christian Church, I've accumulated a library of ceremonies and vows perfect for uniting couples of all cultures and orientations. My background includes presiding over Interfaith nuptials, including Christian, Jewish, and Greek Orthodox weddings. No matter your vision - modern or traditional, intimate or grand - I will guide you towards your happily ever after.

If you already have some vows in mind, I can help you "wrap around" them with a personalized introduction and final pronouncement. For more inspiration, check out my website with pictures, testimonials, and sample ceremonies. Your wedding should be as unique as your love story, so let's collaborate to create a memorable and beautiful event that's uniquely yours.

Over the years, I've had the honor of officiating many joyous weddings, each with its own special flair. I've wed a Jewish bride to a Greek groom, two women exchanging vows on the beach, a military couple with only 48 hours before deployment, and even a ceremony featuring gospel and rock music. Every wedding celebration is distinctive and heartwarming, reminding me that love truly conquers all.
