Weddings/Ceremony

Sarasota/Tampa Bay Area Ordained Minister for weddings of contemporary spirituality and Celtic/Renaissance tradition.

It is a joyous honor to create a wedding ceremony that is a true reflection of the values and traditions of the bride and groom. As an ordained minister through Universal Brotherhood, Inc., Rev. Jacquie has had that privilege since 1995. Weather it be nuptials of contemporary spirituality, family traditions or a Celtic/Renaissance theme, couples have been overwhelmingly pleased with their wedding ceremony. Here are some comments:

Rob and Jackie Satori wedding of 4/29/07 - "Our guests had so many wonderful comments regarding the elegant and inspired ceremony by our officiant, Rev..Jacquie Riker. She helped us to create a ceremony that expressed our feelings perfectly. We would avidly recommend her services."

Liza and Jerry Sullivan's Celtic/Renaissance wedding of 10/1/06 - " We loved our wedding day for so many reasons, the Irish harpist, the beautiful flowers, the family and friends, but the the best part was having Rev. Jacquie as our officiant. She made our ceremony exactly as we'd hoped it would be! Rev. Jacquie brought in all the natural elements we wanted to have in our special day and added with her own special touch the most beautiful sacred words of love, hope and inspiration we had ever heard! Everyone said it was the most beautiful and romantic wedding they had ever been to, and it's because Rev. Jacquie made us all feel so warm and special, Thanks again, we think you're great! " All the best! Mrs. Liza Sullivan.

Jennifer and Brandon 2/22/07 Celtic Wedding - "We did indeed have a wonderful time and have been reliving the magic of the evening ever since. I think I can safely speak for Jenn and Brandon when I say that everything was just as they had hoped it would be - and then some. I heard many comments about the beautiful ceremony and how meaningful it was and we all thank you very sincerely for making it so special." Madeleine Longfield-smith Mother of the bride, Jennifer Longfield-Smith.

Ceremony and ritual are powerful tools for personal healing, creating spiritual community, and to honor the rites of passage of life. When facing the challenging experiences of a grief process, or a dark night of the soul, creating a private, individual ceremony can be useful to remain grounded in your core of spiritual truth. A memorial ceremony is an opportunity to celebrate the life of the deceased and create bonding and closure for family and friends.

We gather together for celebrations created to express your values and intentions for the joyous occasions of birth, coming of age, Croning, wedding, a new home, and entering the wisdom years. To navigate the thresholds of these cycles of our lives in a conscious way, we call upon ancient wisdom to bring meaning and purpose to our contemporary lives.

The art of crafting a ceremony that is powerful and unique to you and your intentions is an exciting and fulfilling way to be in service to humankind as we all navigate the passages of life together.
