If you are looking for someone who can officiate your marriage ceremony in the tranquil, peaceful surroundings of nature without having to go to all the expense and drama that sometimes goes along with planning a wedding, you have come to the right place.
Deep in the heart of West Virginia, just outside the beautiful town of Buckhannon, there is a tranquil place of solitude, a place filled with gardens, birds song and everything the countryside is known for. I call this place home and to have developed it into a wedding venue that I share with others is a sincere blessing. It is a gorgeous alternative to driving hours to the Smokey Mountains and the best part of all is that you don't have to spend a fortune to have the wedding of your dreams. I like to call it my "little piece of heaven" but others simply call it Heaven's Grace. Many couples who have already been touched by its beauty keep coming back, just to visit the surroundings that have become so much a part of their memory and my heart is warmed that God has given me such a beautiful place to share. I find it to be a place like none other and to be able to share my home and make your wedding day both memorable and enjoyable means the world to me. I would be honored to have you pledge your vows here.
But about me....
My name is Pam and I am a Licensed, Ordained, Non-Denominational Minister with a sincere passion for love, marriage and making couples happy. I officiate weddings, vow renewals, and other life event services and I not only provide a quality product, I leave my couples with a treasured experience that is both professional and completely affordable.
My services are always about YOU and my goal is your complete satisfaction. My ceremonies are unique. they are beautiful and they are personally written to reflect the gift of love you have been given in one another. They are not your typical canned, off the shelf ceremonies and are geared to give you, your family and guests a gift of inspiration, laughter, and joy for the love you share.
I have officiated marriages all over the East Coast for the past eight years and have been blessed by what I do. But in the process, I have found that many couples have a hard time finding a Minister to marry them if they are living together prior to marriage, if they have been married before, or if they don't belong to a particular church affiliation or religion. If this is your situation, you don't have to look any further because I do not hold those restrictions. My only requirements are that couples truly love each other, that they understand the importance and sanctity of marriage and that they have a sincere desire to be be united as husband and wife under God's blessing. That's it!
Your Countryside Wedding Ceremony package will include a tender love inspired ceremony officiated by me at an area of your choice on my countryside property. And if you want to add a unity candle, sand ceremony, time-capsule, or other ceremonial add-on, I am happy to do that. You will receive a beautiful ceremonial photo package to capture the memories along with a portfolio containing a keepsake copy of your ceremony, a beautiful rose embossed marriage certificate, inspirational marriage materials and a picture of the two of you with your vows on it. I am not set up for receptions, but am prepared to recommend several wonderful restaurants in the area who can accommodate your needs.
I provide wedding music prior to the start of the ceremony, a processional song of your choice and because many of my ceremonies are elopements or small, intimate weddings with just the bride and groom, I give couples an opportunity to share their first dance as husband and wife following their ceremony. I have a huge selection of wedding songs and if by chance I don't have the one you want, I am more than happy to download it.
As far as seating, not to worry... When you arrive for your ceremony you will find the wedding area set up with chairs, chair covers and sashes and I do everything within my power to make it special for you. I have several locations available where you can pledge your vows but the following are the most popular. Each holds its own special beauty and among the favorite are the:
Tranquility Garden Gazebo ~ $350 for up to 20 guests
Trail of Grace ~ $350 for up to 20 guests
Rose Garden ~ $350 for up to 20 guests
Country Pasture ~ $550 for up to 50 guests
You may also choose to hold your ceremony inside my log home in front of a gas burning fireplace with candlelight. And if you would prefer to hold you ceremony in a church, that too, can be arranged.
And for those who just want to be legally married and don't care about the pictures, or other extras that are offered with the Countryside Wedding Ceremony Package, please ask me about my "Just Marry Us" and the "Short and Romantically Sweet" Ceremonies. I strive to make my ceremonies affordable to everyone and no couple should ever have to walk away disappointed because they can't afford to be married. It's not about the money, it's about the love and two people sharing that love for a lifetime and I am happy to work with you in whatever way necessary to make that happen.

You can't spend your way into a happy marriage but you can have a beautiful start to your happily ever after right here at my countryside home and I would count it a sincere blessing to share in the happiness of your wedding day. I look forward to the possibility of working with you.
