Wedding Ceremonies & Planning

Let a Seminary-Trained Minister help you make your wedding an occasion to remember forever!

Rev. Joni Kay Rose, M.Div. is a graduate from an accredited theological seminary with over ten years experience performing weddings.

Begin your wedding planning by calling 505-266-3643, or emailing: jonikrose@gmail.com

As soon as you’ve decided to get married, call me so we can get together with you to discuss your wedding plans.  I’m professionally trained in premarital counseling, so call even if you’re a little uncertain.  

Once you’ve set the date for your wedding, it’s time to pick a location that’s special to you both.  I can help you with that.

With a date and location in mind, it’s time to send out the announcements.  We can custom-design invitations just for you. I’ll work with you to custom-design a ceremony that will bring out the uniqueness of your relationship.

What would a wedding be without FLOWERS?  Tell us what kinds you want, and we’ll see that they’re on site before you are.

Do you want top-quality photographs of your special day?  We’ll arrange to have a professional wedding photographer there with you.    

I WELCOME AND AFFIRM ALL FAITHS AND LIFESTYLES!  

If you want a spiritual ceremony, it’s your religion, not mine, that matters.  If you’re from two different religions, I’ll help you decide on a ceremony that’s best for you both.

Even if you just want a CIVIL CEREMONY, with no religious ritual involved, you may find I’m more sensitive to your unique needs than some Justices of the Peace.  And I’ll gladly help with the legal paperwork in either case.

If, on the other hand, you request a HOLY UNION CEREMONY with no legal standing, we’ll do that instead.    

WE’LL HELP PLAN YOUR RECEPTION, TOO!  

Having trouble picking a good place for your reception?  Ask us; we have all kinds of ideas.

What about music? Would you like standard music or original? Whatever you want, we can book it for you!

L e t s not forget food!  What kind of cake would you like?  What kind of hors d’œuvres?  What about the champagne?  We’ll take care of it all for you! 

Why not call us and reduce your stress on your magic day?   

“It’s time we climb the ridge until we’re standing 
     on the highest peak. 
We’ll see the desert valleys far below,
     the azure sky above. 
And then the echo will resound
     from all the canyons, rocks and crags,
as we share our lifelong vows
     amidst the chaparral, my love!"
