Best of all, since our mission statement is completely inclusive and welcomes all, we make available civil, nonreligious, intercultural, and nondenominational ceremony options.

Whether you plan to come to our office for your intimate ceremony or request our presence at your location in the New York Metro Region, we would be honored to be your celebrant and photographer. Message from your Humanist Minister After receiving my bachelor's degree in an individualized
program at New York University, I completed sixty credits in the sociology
doctoral program at CUNY's Graduate Center and taught urban sociology courses
for five years. Although I loved
teaching and sociology in general, a change of heart led to the origins of this organization. I am now a member of the American Humanist Association and learning more and more about Humanism through personal experiences and new courses of formal study. Even after officiating at well over one hundred ceremonies, I remained inspired by the wonderful people I meet. Whether you plan to have a civil, intercultural, or personalized ceremony, I will help you to create a memorable and meaningful ceremony to capture a day you will cherish always. Any ceremony may be held in our office or in a local community park in Kew Gardens, Queens. Most often, however, I travel to you! I have officiated at various public parks, community gardens, formal gardens, hotels, restaurants, churches, and reception halls. As this New York Times announcement attests, I even officiate at ceremonies in private homes. Please feel free to call me at 347-248-6294 or e-mail
