Custom Designed Ministry Services
Life is a series of transitions…
Birth & childhood, adolescence & adulthood, commitment to a partner, career, home & family.
Ultimately, our journey takes us Home again. I invite you to celebrate these rites of passage in personally meaningful ways.
- Weddings For All Couples
- Baby Namings
- Funeral & Memorial Services
- Blessings for Home or Business
- Ritual For Any Transition in Life
Offering colorfully creative ceremonies is one of my greatest joys and being part of YOUR special day is an honor.
I am happy to meet with you in person or via Skype to begin the process of co-creating your ceremony. Since you are a unique individual, your ritual should reflect that. Please contact me for more information.

I Know You By Heart
From the words you whisper in my ear
To the glow in your eyes when you look into mine
From the late night talks we share
To the little things you do to brighten my day
From the way you take care of me when you sense I am in need of a little TLC
To the way you share secrets with me that you have never told another living soul
Thank you for letting me into your heart
I love you with all of mine.

For My Beloved
As I hold your hands in mine
Know that I hold your heart as well.
As I gaze into your eyes
Know that I see into our shared future.
As I feel your heart beat
Know that mine dances along to its rhythm
As I hear the words you speak
Know that they are melody and harmony playing in my ears.
As I sit in amazement that you are in my life
I recognize what a gift you are.
-Rev. Edie Weinstein; Copyright 1999-2015
