The Reverends Mary Beth Hayes and Nan L Baker are ordained United
Church of Christ Clergy and are in good standing within the denomination.
They both have a very open and eclectic view of performing wedding
service. In other words, you have a lot of say in the design and liturgy
of the service. Each service is individually crafted accord-ing to
your unique stories, traditions, faith background, preferences, and
views. Our goal is to provide you and your family and friends with
a service that meets your needs and is both memorable and fun.
