Welcome!
My name is Rev. Joe McLaughlin and I would love to be part of your special day!
eremonial ministry, for me, is a continuation my spiritual calling as well as my desire to serve God’s people. I served for five years as an ordained priest in the Roman Catholic Tradition and was then led toward prayerful contemplation of God’s call toward marriage and family. Upon taking a leave of absence from the Tradition, I was blessed to meet my loving wife, Christina. Our marriage has been a walk down a joyful path blooming with growth, support, and fellowship. I am honored to continue my ministry by sharing this special day, the initiation of a journey of blessed companionship, with couples such as you!
I believe that your wedding ceremony should be effortless, joyful, and inspiring. I have been blessed to work with many couples with whom I have journeyed through the wedding planning process. Wedding days for these couples have been full of last minute details, nervous energy, exuberant love, and sometimes even fatigue. However, I have been so blessed to feel that my presence in some way made the day go more smoothly and those last minute details seem much less daunting. A great relationship between the couple and officiant makes a sincere difference in the tone of the day, adding to the grandeur of the occasion by elevating the love of the couple and the blessing of friends and loved ones in attendance. This most important moment, the ceremonial bond, is one to be carefully planned, lovingly cherished, and joyfully remembered. I am committed to working with you to make your special ceremony a reality!

Yours in Christ,
