After creating and performing ceremonies for couples in the Charlottesville area for many years… I often find that there are requests that I am not able to fulfill… either because my time is already spoken for or because I am simply not best-suited to the individuals' needs and desires. Fortunately I have been able to work with several wonderful colleagues each of whom bring their own unique gifts and experience to the table. May I introduce...

Rev. Claire Frances

Since 2004 it has been my joy to officiate at more than 1200 wedding ceremonies… each a unique, personalized creation… I work mostly in the Charlottesville area but occasionally in other parts of the Commonwealth. Each couple has a unique story and perspective and finding the best way to reflect that in their ceremony is a wonderful challenge. Helping couples celebrate their love and honor the things that are most important to them and to their families in their wedding ceremony is wonderful work… I have the best job anywhere!

We were so happy to have Reverend Claire to help guide us through creating a perfect and personal ceremony. My husband and I had very different religious upbringings and she did a wonderful job of blending religious pieces with spiritual concepts. She also reminded during the ceremony to stop and appreciate the moment and the beautiful event that was occurring. Highly recommend
