Soul Care Ceremonies

Personalized & Inclusive

Bringing more than 20 years of ministerial experience, my passion is to curate and facilitate the moments that matter the most to us as humans. Together we create celebrations and ceremonies that are marked by care, healing, and deep connection. As an officiant, I love creating special and memorable moments with others. I am an easy going, light-hearted, growth fostering presence who works well with people of all backgrounds. No matter if you’re non-religious, spiritual, or religious, my goal is to provide the BEST possible experience for you and your partner. What matters most to me is not simply providing my services, but more importantly, creating a personal relationship with all of my clients.

Warmest Regards, N.C. Clair
