Barbara Ann Michaels, Jester of the Peace

Experience the truth and treasure of your love shared in an inspired custom wedding ceremony you help design ~ from elegant to sweet to playful! Choose a Personalized wedding, or an Adventure or Costume ceremony for your ceremony or vow renewal. As we create your unique ceremony, you'll feel uplifted, relaxed, and in love together. 

Your Love is Your Work of Art

The promises you make in your ceremony are the foundation of your marriage ~ your home. I'm your Officiant and your friend in this process. You'll incorporate elements as they feel true to you two: traditions you hold dear, contemporary elements, including perhaps inventing your own, writing your own vows if you wish, roles for family and friends, music, and more. I'm your Jester of the Peace, celebrating your love and creativity at once.

All Love is Welcome

As a non-denominational Officiant, I welcome all spiritual backgrounds, Interfaith, and Intercultural unions. I fully support Marriage Equality. I perform marriages, commitment ceremonies, and vow renewals in New York and beyond, including destination weddings. I marry couples from all over the world.
