About Me

          "A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes, When You're Fast Asleep" ~ Walt Disney


     I love watching wishes come true.  As an interfaith ordained minister, 

(NY ID number 1630387), it is my great pleasure to watch as the dreams of my couples unfold.  

     For ten years, I worked as a special education teacher, specializing in children and teens with emotional issues.  When I began officiating weddings in 2012, I had no idea how it would change my life.  I founded Footprint Ministry, upon the idea that God is too big to fit in one religion. Since then, I have met so many wonderful couples, many whom I now call friends.  I have heard amazing, heartwarming, and hysterical stories from couples that make my job never feel like work.  Since my first wedding, I have had the pleasure of officiating over 400 ceremonies.  I have also been featured on television shows and radio, and have worked alongside celebrity wedding planners. I have been honored by winning The Knot's Best Officiant on Long Island and Wedding Wires' Couples Choice Award 2018-2014.  In 2017 I was inducted into The Knot's Hall of Fame!  

     These great honors and wonderful couples have allowed me to expand Footprint Ministry.  I have welcomed aboard four awesome associates.  As of July 2014,  I have been able to leave the field of teaching, and devote myself as a full-time officiant!  

      On August 3, 2012 my own wish came true when I married my husband, Jimmy, at The Candlewood Inn in Connecticut.  The greatest blessing though has been our two sons whom we absolutely adore.  We live on Long Island with our three dogs.

Associates

Sarah M. and I have been friends for 35 years. She actually introduced me to my husband, and is responsible for my moving to Long Island! Sarah is a dedicated hard worker, so when my business began expanding I knew I needed her on my team. 


Sarah had an amazing destination wedding in Punta Cana on May 11, 2012. She lives in East Setauket with her husband and 3-year-old daughter. She is a nutritionist and a lactation consultant.  


Sarah M. officiates weddings on Long Island, Westchester, and Putnam.

If you inquire about a wedding date/time that I am already personally booked for, I will refer to one of my amazing associates at Footprint Ministry.  My associates and I work very closely together. My associate and I would both meet with you and your fiance. I would then write your ceremony and my associate would perform it.


I have personally trained each of my associates to ensure they provide couples with the highest level ceremony experience possible.
