Celtic and custom Spiritual Weddings

A note from Seamus . . .

As an ordained minister of the peace, I find deep joy in uniting new couples.  I love co-creating deeply meaningful weddings with them, and can offer a rich array of traditional and contemporary Celtic inspired customs to draw from.  My first goal is to help couples forge an authentic spiritual bonding unique to their needs.  I wish their ceremony to be always cherished and empowering of their union.  At the  couple's request, I may incorporate spiritual counseling and Body Prayers support sessions in our planning meetings before the wedding.  I then strive to make the ceremony itself meaningful, beautiful, and harmonious for all that attend, aiming at welcoming and inclusiveness for friends and family members.  I take pleasure in explaining and blending "the old familiar" customs with what may be new or unfamiliar to some in the wedding party.  At the couples request, I can include Christian, Jewish, Buddhist or other customs into the language or ceremony; or I can tailor your wedding entirely for an earth-centered or pagan event.

Contact Seamus if you are interested, and we will dialogue more about your wishes and intentions.  Phone 231.347.7957 or email him at celticbodyprayers@gmail.com.

“There have been few times in my life where things have unfolded in such a beautiful, profound way.  You have such a way about you Seamus . . . the calm and great love in your spirit.  And I was so very pleased to hear from my family members who had initial doubts about such an alternative ceremony.  They found our wedding to be the most moving and beautiful ceremony they had ever attended!”

 -- Danielle and Mike Davies (June 16th, 2010)

“Seamus, this is the second wedding I’ve witnessed of yours, and I am so impressed with the depth of knowing and personal connection you have with the bride and groom.  Other weddings I attend seem formulaic, yours are deeply personal and meaningful.  Might you be available for my fiancee’s and my wedding next June?”

-- Michael Paine, Freshwater Studios photographer at Craig and Kristen’s wedding (July 28th 2007)

 “You did an amazing job of making our wedding wishes become a reality Seamus.  We wanted a ceremony that didn’t just tolerate our differences, but actually celebrated them.  People from every faith, denomination, socio-economic group, ethnic group, family, friends, business associates, neighbors were there.  Not one found fault.  Your gift allowed you to harness the energy and direct it outward for everyone’s benefit.  Wow! What a blessing to have met you.”

-- Fred, Therese  and Alexa Boldt (September 23rd 2006)

"Thank you Seamus for everything you have done for us . . . I can't express how perfect you helped make the day . . . you set an instant calm to all you come in contact with."

-- Brandy and Brian (October 22nd 2005)

"Thank you Seamus, so much for giving us everything we could have ever asked for in a Minister of Peace and Love, a Druid, and a friend.  Your spirit and kindness made a lasting mark on all who were witness to the magic of our day."
