Hello!  Welcome to Marcy Ann's 
Professional Ordained Wedding Minister Training Program!

Click here for Marcy Ann's Biography

I can tell you, I am totally and completely happy as a Wedding Minister.  I love my job! I am my own boss, I work as much or as little as I want to, and everyone is always SO HAPPY! I own my own business helping a first-time bride experience all of her hopes and dreams for her Wedding Day. (Grooms just say, "what ever you want, honey!")  Second weddings are a wonderful time to help people deepen their understanding of love and marriage. You can also offer Vow Renewals, Wedding Anniversary Celebrations, House Blessing, and  I also do Baby Blessings.  You can also do Funerals and Memorial Services.I will provide you with all of the special ceremonies and blessings. 

I can guarantee you, that no matter where you are in the United States, you can be a successful Ordained Wedding Minister. Every single wedding needs an Wedding Minister! Many people belong to a church and have a pastor.  However, more and more, couples are looking for an independent Officiant who represents the State and can provide a non-denominational but spiritual   wedding ceremony that celebrates love, trust, respect, fidelity, honesty and family and is not legalistic, religious or long, dull and boring!  A divorced Catholic cannot be married in the Church. A Jew who marries a Protestant needs an independent professional Officiant.   Also, here in California, the Hindu's, Muslims, and Buddhists have their intimate, religious ceremony with their immediate family, and then they have the legal civil ceremony for all of their extended family and friends.  I do these civil ceremonies all the time!    

The New York Times Religious Page in April of 2004 had the first article about the up-and-coming profession of the Professional Officiant.  This article is in your Second Lesson. Today, there are several ordination organizations who are also offering training.  These groups are mostly traditionally ordained men who still must follow the dictates of their particular religious affiliation or church  and they cannot be as flexible as an independent professional Wedding Minister/Officiant.  I teach you how to be available to all cultures, all traditions, in fact, any couple who comes to you who wants to be married, whether they've been married before, or the bride is pregnant, or whatever the situation is.  You will know how to deal with any situation and provide a loving, romantic, spiritual moment for them to exchange their vows with one another, in the presence of family and friends.   I will teach you how to develop a package that includes everything for these couples.   I will provide you with forms and ceremonies that fit every person's desire.  I will suggest locations for your weddings, including backyards, country clubs, restaurants, hotels, museums, fraternal organizations and City, County  & State facilities.  You will offer Couples in your area an alternative to going to the courthouse to get married!  And they can celebrate with all of their family and friends.

This is a brand new profession! The word "officiant" isn't even in the Webster's Dictionary yet!  You can go to my school, get your training, and be the first person to offer this service in your area.  The first one to do something often blazes the trail, sets the standards, provides the guidelines and reaps the first fruits rewards!

When you are ready to go on the internet, I can provide you a webmaster to create a web page for you.  I will list you as an associate on my #1 Web Page and provide you with your first year's listing with Scott Carpenter's NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF WEDDING MINISTERS (www.aweddingministers.com) A national web page for wedding ministers.

In addition to providing you a great part-time, second income, many of your current day-to-day expenses will become tax write-offs.  Driving your car, a home office, utilities, your computer and all computer supplies, your telephone, your cell phone, all of this becomes an “expense.”   I take at least one seven day “retreat” every year as a “spiritually-uplifting and refreshing” educational experience which I deduct as business expenses. 

Even if you never do one single wedding after you complete the course, I guarantee you that the material that you study in my course will introduce you to a whole wide world of love and beauty.  Studying my wedding ceremony and the presentation of it to the bride and groom will enrich your own life and teach you successful relationship principles.    Just studying the various cultures and rituals and ceremonies of the world will broaden your perspectives.  You will learn good business practices that can help you in your day-to-day life.   You will be enriched in ways you never dreamed of,  just taking the course for personal reasons.  And perhaps it would help you realize your own hope and dreams and personal desires.
