What is an interfaith ceremony?
It is a ceremony that celebrates the spirituality which unites us and honors our differences with respect, love and joy. God is called by many names and has billions of faces. In an interfaith ceremony we remember that it is love that transcends all, and it is within our hearts where we find common ground. As Albert Einstein put it, "Remember your humanity!" The spiritual teachings at the core of all religious traditions and humanist philosophies are emphasized. Rituals, blessings and prayers are offered in a way that is appropriate for interfaith, intercultural gatherings.

I have been privileged to work with people of all faiths, cultures and colors. Our ceremonies are personal, heartfelt, inclusive and elegant. They are ceremonies from the heart. Each service is unique and completely reflective of you, your beliefs and traditions. We work through the most sensitive issues with care, love and encouragement.

Joining Hands and Hearts, Interfaith, Intercultural Wedding Celebrations, A Practical Guide for Couples (publisher: Simon and Schuster) is for couples of all backgrounds who wish a heartfelt and inclusive wedding ceremony. Today couples of all faiths, colors and cultures are choosing an interfaith ceremony for its spiritually inclusive and personal approach. It is a way of rejoicing in our differences and celebrating our commonality in an atmosphere of mutual love and respect.

Joining Hands and Hearts will guide you in every aspect of planning and creating the wedding ceremony of your dreams-one that will resonate throughout your married life!

Its extensive manual features 14 faith traditions, numerous humanist and universal elements, and dozens of cultures.
