Catholic weddings
Rev. Paul Mayer celebrates your wedding using the traditional Catholic ritual either in a banquet hall, outdoors, or in an appropriate chapel.

Interfaith and Ecumenical weddings

Jewish-Christian weddings
A celebration together with a rabbi in which the beauty and authenticity of both traditions is honored and woven into a seamless ceremony. Contacts with congenial Rabbis are available.

Nondenominational weddings
For couples who are not affiliated with any one particular religious tradition but still seek a meaningful spiritual wedding experience. Couples who belongs to faith communities outside of the Judeo-Christian traditions are welcome, as are inter-ethnic and interracial ceremonies.

Weddings in Spanish and Sacred Unions are also available.

Wedding Celebration Organization :
The planning of each wedding celebration is a collaborative process and your input and ideas are welcome. Great care and thought is put into every ceremony, taking into account the personal needs and request of each couple.
What makes these weddings distinctive and unique is the priority given to creating a celebration that is dynamic, inspiring and which involves the entire community present. This responds to people's deep need for meaningful and uplifting sacred ritual as opposed to many cold impersonal and even boring religious services. (See attached article for more details.)

Relationship sessions
Prior to the wedding couples are offered an experience in deep listening in which the gift of complete attention is offered by one partner to the other. This session can help to deepen communication, the heart of a relationship and the catalyst which will help a couple grow and evolve into their full human potential.

Reverend Paul Mayer practices in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and beyond. Baptisms, baby namings/dedications, memorial services and funerals are also available. Please inquire for details.
