Not every couple may be religious and that's ok!’  Reverend Ashby's  non-religious civil wedding ceremonies meet the desire and dreams of the couple for their ceremony vows. She is excellent storyteller who love's to speak words about love, dreams and the future, fairy tales and happy endings. She is never judgmental to anyone's beliefs.  Reverend Ashby will work close with you to write your dream ceremony.Reverend Ashby officiate's weddings in Phoenix, Glendale, Peoria, Buckeye, Avondale, Litchfield, Mesa, Chandler, Tempe, Apache Junction, Queen Creek, San Tan Valley, Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, Fountain Hills, Flagstaff, Sedona, Payson, Prescott. 

                                           

                                                                 What ceremony do I choose? What do these mean?

There are quite a few choices when it comes to your ceremony and the words we choose to  speak. The ceremony will be written with the type of ceremony you choose with your beliefs (without if you want a Civil Ceremony). If you are Christian and want a religious ceremony, but not in the church we can do that! If you have an interfaith ceremony  Reverend Ashby will write the vows to include both beliefs into the ceremony. If you want to write your own vow's you may do so and Reverend Ashby will take care of the rest of the ceremony. She will go over these details when you meet. If you do not want any word's of God in your ceremony, We do that also! Reverend Ashby has you 100% covered. 

There are so many tradition's out there it may be hard to choose. Reverend Ashby is here to guide you and give you that dream ceremony. Some popular traditions in ceremonies are the Unity  Candle, Sand Ceremony, Wine Box, and Jumping the broom. These traditions all symbolize two souls becoming one. These are all options to add in to your ceremony. You will need to provide the material and Reverend Ashby will provide the word's. To Have and To hold is very inclusive to adding member's of the family into the ceremony. For Instance, blending a family with children, you may want to use the sand ceremony and have the children pour sand in with you to represent the family becoming one. We did this at our wedding and the kid's loved it. They felt like an important part to the ceremony.

To Have and To Hold tries in every way to distinguish the ceremonies from other's. We feel your vows are very personal, real and from the heart unique and one of a kind. Reverend Ashby never uses the same ceremony twice. Each ceremony is carefully written to meet the couples desire and dream. We use eye contact,humor and include your guest ,family , friends into the ceremony. Words are spoken from the heart, as vows are sacred. Reverend Ashby also work's closely with Bilingual minister's or associates if you need a Bilingual ceremony. It will be spoken in  English and Spanish. 

Schedule a meeting with Reverend Ashby for a free consultation. She usually will meet you at Starbuck's and will buy your drink! During this meeting we can go over the ceremony choices, traditions, time and date and the venue you have chosen. We will go through the steps and you will be able to visualize your ceremony. If you are at just the beginning of planning, no problem! She has many ideas from different wedding's and have lot's of experience in planning wedding's and ceremonies. She work closely with a group of vendor's that she can put in touch with you. These include Photographers, Dj's, venues, cakes, flowers, make up and hair, and many more.

UPDATE: as of April 13th there are 4 couples entered into the contest!
Spread the word! Who doesn't like free stuff!! Especially free stuff for a wedding!!!


I decided since the April special is going so well that I am going to do something for a couple who is well deserving of it. I am going to offer my service for FREE(ceremony) to 1 lucky couple. If you know someone who is wanting to get married and has a low budget or has certain restrictions like time whatever their special case may be, send me an email with their story! I will randomly choose a couple on May 1st 2014. The couple must live in AZ and be able to obtain or have their marriage license. Please share this and get it out there to the community! Friends share to your friends and have them share! I would like to have at least 10 couples in this contest. 

I am a non-denominational, ordained minister who has assisted brides making their wedding ceremony perfect.

Being an ordained minister allows me to perform a wedding with spiritual authority and civil authority. I am an ordained minister that is ready to assist you in any Arizona wedding ceremony. I have officiated many ceremonies in the Valley of the Sun. I view each wedding as unique and one of a kind. The wedding ceremony is all about the bride and groom. It's all about what they want, not anyone else. 

My experience allows me to make your wedding day and vows special and unique. Let me be your wedding minister for your special event!  

I also have a preferred list of vendors to help assist you along the way. 

Please feel free to contact me with any questions. I am available 7 days a week 

Let me start off by saying Congratulations on your engagement! Marriage is one off the greatest journey's in life. I am here to help you and guide you through the ceremony process and customize it you how you want to remember your special day.

We will go over all the details and carefully plan your ceremony. After that I will take care of the rest. You and your Fiance just need to go to any Arizona court and obtain your marriage license. You can go to www.clerkofcourt.maricopa.gov for any information you may need. Cost of the marriage license is $76.00 You would be surprised at the number of couples who have forgotten this step! Even a few have forgotten to get a minister!

I will follow up with you two weeks before the ceremony date to make sure that you have gotten the license, without that I can't perform the ceremony.

After the ceremony you and your new spouse will sign along with your witnesses and you will be set! I will personally take the license to the court to have it filed. Easy as that!

I'm in the greater metro area of Phoenix, AZ. I will travel anywhere within the Metro region, meaning but not limited to Avondale, Goodyear, Litchfield, Mesa, Tempe, Chandler, Gilbert, Paradise Valley, Scottsdale.
I do not charge a travel fee for ceremonies within the greater Metro area, However outside of the Metro area the travel fee is between $25.00-$40.00.

We will meet at least twice to go over all the ceremony details, date , time, location. What time I will arrive and any other special request you may have.

*Pricing-
Traditional/modern ceremony starting at $110.00, (depending on the month)
Elopement ceremonies are $95.00
Commitment Ceremonies/Civil Union $65.00
Same day ceremony $100.00

I look forward to taking this journey with you and creating memories to last a lifetime.

Please feel free to email me with any questions you may have.
