My passion for performing weddings begins with meeting couples to customize their wedding ceremony and providing pre-marriage counseling.

I was born in England to Jamaican parents and grew up in Jamaica with extended family until I came to join my mother in Canada in the early ’70s.

I am a graduate of the University of Guelph with a degree in Justice Studies and have been a police officer since 1988.

I was ordained as a minister in 2018 and my calling is bringing the word to seniors in retirement homes.

Performing weddings is very cathartic for me as the love that fills these ceremonies brings me great joy.

Your wedding ceremony is ALL ABOUT YOU, that's why I listen intently at our consultuation and partner with you to bring your ceremony vision to life.
