Your wedding day will be one of the most memorable days of your lives. Your sacred ceremony will be custom designed to express your love and commitment to one another. The readings and vows that you select will express your unique style as a couple. I am delighted to create a ceremony to reflect your love, your personalities, your relationship and your lifestyle.
About me...
I graduated, and was ordained, from the Reunion Living Ministry Program in January 2001, under the Directorship of Dr. Reverend Betty Lue Lieber .
I have three daughters and four grandchildren that I truly enjoy.
I grew up in Mexico City and moved to Michigan when I was married.
I was an English as a second language teacher for Dowagiac Union Schools in Michigan for 20 years and was very blessed to work with many families from all over the world.
I decided to enter the Ministry for my own spiritual growth in 1997.
Since then, it has been my great honor and joy to officiate at many ceremonies

The Spiritual Wedding Ceremony!
I offer Spiritual weddings, renewal of vows and Commitment ceremonies to couples who want to have a romantic Puerto Vallarta ceremony without the hassles and expenses that are required for a Civil Ceremony performed in a foreign country or for couples that want to declare their love to each other in a beautiful setting.
I will help you personalize your vows to ensure that you're wedding day will be a unique celebration that is treasured forever. I will also provide you with a beautiful keepsake marriage certificate!
I respect and uphold the commitment between all loving couples.
No paperwork or blood tests are required for the Spiritual Ceremony, as this ceremony is a contract between the couple and God. A wedding certificate authenticated by me as a minister of Reunion, is provided to the couple after the ceremony.
If you decide that you want to have the Spiritual Ceremony performed in Puerto Vallarta, all that I will need is the following information:
•Date, location & time of the ceremony
•Name and date of birth of bride & groom as they are to appear on the wedding certificate
•Name of one or two witnesses (if any)
•Arrival date in Puerto Vallarta
•Name and telephone number of hotel (or wherever) you will be staying in Puerto Vallarta
(I like to meet with the bride & groom prior to the ceremony for a pre-nuptial talk)
RENEWAL OF VOWS
Whether you are in Puerto Vallarta to celebrate your wedding anniversary, or just here on vacation, consider celebrating or rejuvenating your marriage with a Renewal of Vows. This special ceremony is designed to bless and release your past, renew your love for each other in the present, and to make a commitment to begin a new joyful future together.
Renewing your marriage vows will enhance your visit to the Paradise known as Puerto Vallarta and truly make your vacation a honeymoon. Your marriage vow renewal ceremony can be performed at the time and place of your choice with or without any friends or family members in attendance. No pre-planning or weeks notice needed.

The Civil Ceremony
If you are interested in having the Legal (Civil) Ceremony performed in Puerto Vallarta, be prepared for a more complicated situation requiring a lot of paperwork, translation of documents, blood tests in Mexico, etc., all of which have to be accomplished before the wedding.
You will need to hire a wedding coordinator in Puerto Vallarta to take care of the pre-planning phase, and I can put you in contact with a coordinator that will help you according to the type of wedding that you want. This usually takes about a month. You do not need to be here for the whole month, but you will need several days in Puerto Vallarta before the wedding in order to get the blood tests done and to finalize the paperwork.
Making it Official
Anywhere in the world regardless of the type of clergy performing the ceremony, the couple also needs to comply with the laws of their state and country if they want their marriage to be considered legal for tax purposes and to be eligible for certain benefits and protected by the laws and regulations of that state. This usually involves applying for the wedding license, but requirements vary from country to country & state to state. I recommend that you apply and get married legally in your country before or after your ceremony here in Puerto Vallarta.
The Cost
The cost of the ceremony depends on the type of ceremony, the distance from Vallarta to the site of the ceremony and the times that I have to meet the couple. It ranges from $250 to $350 USD.
The cost of the Civil Ceremony varies depending on many things such as number of documents needed to be translated, origin of birth, etc. If you would like more information, contact me and we will provide a wedding coordinator that can help you.
Wedding Coordinators
If you want more than just the ceremony I work with many wedding coordinators and photographers that will meet your budget and make your wedding day an unforgettable event.
ROMANTIC VENUES
Where is the ceremony performed?
I can perform spiritual ceremonies almost everywhere that you choose around the Banderas Bay.
It can be a public beach wedding. Puerto Vallarta have some of the most beautiful and unspoiled beaches in the world for unforgettable beach ceremonies. There are no site reservation or location fees required for getting married on a beach in Puerto Vallarta and the whole Banderas Bay.
Also it can be a private beach wedding in a Villa or Resort.
I can arrange for you to get married in one of the three Playa del Sol Resorts a very special place for barefoot-on-the-beach wedding for two or a large wedding as well.
Many hotels and restaurants in Puerto Vallarta provide a romantic atmosphere for saying your vows, while others offer fabulous views, such as the "Bluff at Le Kliff" , and "Villa Copa de Oro."
Other couples choose to get married in a simple "barefoot on the beach" or a sailboat.
It is up to you where the ceremony can take place.
The Civil Ceremony must be performed by a judge and can be followed by the Spiritual Ceremony at the location of your choice.
