I’m being facetious, of course.  Marketing is hard work.  And as a start-up, I don’t have a lot of funds to really put into getting my name listed on some of the bigger sites.

My hope is that as I acquire more business I can buy ad space.  But until then, I will be thankful for free listing opportunities and for Facebook.  It’s a start, and we’ve all got to start somewhere.

So feel free to check me out on Facebook.

And of course I’d be honored if you want to share my site with others.  Because I am still a firm believer that word of mouth and personal recommendations are the best marketing one can have.

Oh, and while I’m on the subject of marketing…let me share with you the site of my dear friend Libby!  She is a remarkable photographer and would be delighted to talk with you about any upcoming needs.  Check out her site at www.libbymcgowan.com

It’s no secret among my family and friends that I like to officiate weddings.  It’s exciting. And filled with a nervous energy that is contagious.  Each ceremony is different, and I love to see what has been planned and orchestrated at each one.

And I love to see it from the front.  Because being the wedding minister gives me a perspective that nobody else has…and it’s awesome.  I get to see the emotions of the bride and groom up close and personal.  I see the tears that dads shed while their backs are to the guests.  I see the groom’s shaking hands, and the excitement in the bride’s eyes.  It’s the best seat in the house!

So after dabbling around for quite a while I finally decided to get serious.  I’m opening myself up for business as a wedding officiant.

Welcome to my new adventure!  Check out my information, ask me questions, and spread the word.  I’ll be officially open for business in a couple of weeks if all goes as planned. And who knows?  Maybe I’ll see you soon from the best seat in the house!
