  • Nondenominational: This ceremony is used for marriages "in the presence of God" but has no commitment to any particular denomination.


  • Interdenominational: This nice ceremony is similar to the nondenominational ceremony but contains parts from both the denomination of the bride and groom.


  • Anglican: This is the most popular ceremony. Based on the traditional Church of England ceremony but updated for America. A beautiful ceremony that is often used for Church weddings.


  • Catholic: This is the shortened Catholic ceremony (without Mass or Communion). A beautiful ceremony that is suitable for a Catholic wedding not held in a Catholic Church.


  • Celtic: This wonderful ceremony, Is based on the original Scottish and Irish celtic ceremonies. Rev. John is proud to be among the few who are allowed to perform weddings in full Kilt etc.


  • Masonic: This ceremony is for Freemasons. (Guests do not have to be masons but the ceremony must be held in a Masonic Lodge)


  • Inter-religion: This ceremony can include two Ministers, one from each religion (for example: Jewish-Christian).


  • Daoist: This wonderful ceremony, Is the western version of the Daoist or Taoist ceremony.


  • Vow Renewal: This ceremony is for couples that are already married but wish to re-new their vows. Civil, Anglican, Masonic, Nondenominational, etc.


  • Commitment: This ceremony is for couples that either do not wish to or are unable to legally marry but wish to commit to each other.


  • Baptism: Can be done in a church, your home, in the sea, etc.


  • Animals: Animal and Pet blessings and funerals.


  • Funerals: Unfortunately there comes a time when our bodies fail us and earthly life comes to an end. Rev. John will be honoured to assist in the passage.
