Wedding Officiant/Life Coach

I have been licensed and ordained in the ministry for over 30 years. I started working with flowers and wedding decor while in high school and now that I have retired after 22 years as a paralegal I am now getting to do what I love to do.

When I got married the minister was our best friend. We loved him and trusted him with our lives and we believed the words he would say during our ceremony would reflect our love. He knew us and we knew him so when I thought about being a wedding officiant for couples that had no idea who I am I decided that my Bio needed to give you the comfort of knowing me by what my friends have said about me. (yes, I asked my facebook friends for help).

I asked them to tell me some of my attributes. Here is what they said: Compassionate, Selfless, and Giving. A Great Listener, Gentle and Supportive, Honest, Fun, Loyal, Caring and a Great Sense of Humor, Driven, Focused, Detail Oriented, Funny and Kind, A Warm presence, Smart, Understanding and Considerate, Willing, Friend to All, Sweet, Enthusiastic, Flexible, Focused, Dependable, Punctual, Charming, Professional, Assertive, Creative, Responsible, Administrative, Genuine, Honest, Generous, (sometimes to a fault.) A HUGE Heart, Easily Intoxicated ( yep, I’m a Lightweight), Sassy, Classy and a lot Smart Assy. (Well, I do have to own up to that last one, but only sometimes.)

From as long as Janice can remember there was always a desire to be in ministry. Janice’s heroes were other ministers …role models of the life pursued. By the age of 16 she was in full time ministry. She spent many years as a full time traveling evangelist. During those years she was an accomplished speaker, teacher, served on home missions boards and was the associate pastor of All For Love Ministries.

She is a celebrated, nationally known Gospel singer. She has been the featured artist on several Mass Choir albums through the Jackson School of music. She has been the choir director of several choirs that have won multiple awards. She has several, very successful solo albums as well. Janice came in from the road about 8 years age to be the personal caretaker for several different friends as they spent their last days here on earth.

Janice is a breath of fresh air. She is ALWAY happy and you only need to be around her for a few minutes before that happiness rubs off. When asked how she is doing, her answer will always be “I am happy and grateful” Over the last 8 years, as she has held the hand of loved ones as they transitioned, her whole belief system began to change. She realized that you do not have to be religious in order to be spiritual. That God can not be put into any box and most of all that Love is Love. We are very excited to have Janice as a part of our team and once you meet her you will never forget her smile or the twinkle in her eye as she pronounces you “married.”

From an early age, Stephen felt called to serve in ministry. He was raised in the church, and his parents served full time in ministry. As an adult, Stephen went on to be a youth minister for several years before meeting his wife Briana. Soon after marriage, they served overseas in the South Pacific for a short-term mission stent. Once back in the US, Stephen served as an Associate Pastor before Seminary in 2012. After graduating from seminary in 2014, Stephen and his wife served communities as ordained ministers.

After serving in the PNW for a few years, Stephen and Briana welcomed their daughter Brielle after praying for her for over three, long, years. With the arrival of their daughter, they knew they wanted to take a step back and focus on raising this precious gift. They moved to Stephen’s childhood area in North Dallas to begin a slower pace at life. Once here, they welcomed their son, Thaddeus, a few years later. Life continues to bring moments of joy and blessings! Both being raised and serving in ministry, one thing has rung true the most; humanity and community are served best when one person joins another person in commitment and love.

I find being a part of that one moment in two people’s journey to be God’s love manifested in creation. When I have the privilege to come alongside and facilitate that moment, I find myself blessed and overjoyed. Stephen is an ordained minister, having served for nearly 15 years vocationally.

I have been in the event industry for the past 10 years. I became a licensed officiant in the fall of 2019. Initially, my license was intended for the use of officiating some close friends who eloped
in Kauai, HI in a remote location set in front of a waterfall. It was one of the most beautiful moments to witness. I had no intent on marrying anyone else after that day however, god had different plans. I continue to have people in my life ask me to officiate their wedding and when I do, I sometimes have people who attend their wedding ask me to do it for someone they know. I have no idea what God is doing with me, but I know that I love everything about love. It is an honor to be a part of such a significant moment two people share and I keep the door open to all possibilities. “…with God all things are possible” Matthew 19:26.

I love hearing couples love stories and finding ways to make their ceremony tailored just to them. It is a magical moment they will carry for them for the rest of their life. I listen and put an immense amount of energy into delivering a ceremony that fits the couple and the spiritual union they wish to receive. I am not religious, but I believe that God can create and build a relationship with each soul so long as they keep their heart and ears open to whatever his plan provides. I intend to bring just that kind of energy on your big day. I have an entrepreneurial spirit; I love being creative and have been told I have a natural way with words. Love is love. I truly believe that when God created us, he kept a part of our soul and when you find your person, he gives you that part back within them.
