Rev. DeAna Marie Wedding Officiant from Los Angeles, CA

I believe rituals are an important part of living. By making this bond in front of friends and family we are stating that we are making a pivotal transition in the way we are going to live our lives. I grew up as a healer. As a child I studied the use of plants to heal from my grandmother, aunts and uncles. When I went to college I continued that study in Biology. After college I continued my lifelong study going into the applied sciences of Bioremediation and Phyotoremediation using nature to heal itself. My love of nature and natural cycles has led me to helping people with cycles and rituals of life. I have officiated for weddings, baptisms, funerals, joining ceremonies, same sex marriages, coming of age ceremonies, and other life rituals. Most of my clients are looking for a semi traditional ceremony because they are not affiliated with a particular religion but are spiritual and believe in God. Some want to include their children in the ceremony to unite the families or want to write their own vows. I can help you create a memorable, joyful, loving, wedding ritual the way you want. You can also choose from a large assortment I have, or mix and match. I will attend the rehearsal and be at the ceremony at least 45 minutes before.
