Testimonials

" When my sister passed away suddenly, the experience was traumatic and further complicated by others’ lack of understanding. Expressions of sympathy were addressed solely to my parents, and my grief was often dismissed with comments like, “It’s not like you lost a child.” These responses left me feeling ashamed, unsure how to grieve, and uncertain whether I even had the right to. Ted helped me navigate the intense and unpredictable waves of that grief journey. He met me with humor when I needed levity, gave me space when I withdrew, and offered warmth and comfort when I sought connection."

“Hands down, could not have  asked for a better officiant for our ceremony! Make no mistake, having  someone like Ted conducting our ceremony made all the difference in the  world. We spoke with a couple of other “lifestyle” JP’s, and while they  were open to conducting the ceremony, none came close to what Ted  offered. Ted listened, asked questions and met with us to discuss our  game plan. All unions are unique, and ours was special to us. We wanted  to incorporate Wicca, Ceremony of the Roses, blood letting (ok, a finger prick, but you know what I mean), white magic ritual and finally,  flogging of my slave at the very end. Wow and yes, it was a mouthful and  a handful, to be sure. Ted did his research ahead of time. We met to  discuss when and how all these elements could be incorporated in our  special day. Granted, the ceremony ended up taking a solid hour but with  so much going on with all the different elements, it flew by in an instant.

I have to say, it was a beautiful ceremony, start to finish, and  fortunately we were blessed with perfect fall weather for that day. Ted  brought his own artifacts for the altar, which combined perfectly with  items we brought ourselves. His partner, Solstice, took pictures of  everything too, which we gladly paid for. Again, this is a service that  Ted provided; a service to be compensated properly. They also made  delicious honey treats for us, which were truly wonderful. Honestly, I  just can’t say enough good things about that day. My slave bride and I  already knew Ted casually from the local munch we all attend. We were  fortunate enough to be informed he was an ordained minister, so we asked  him if to be our officiant, and the rest is now history and memories  for a lifetime. While we hired Ted to perform a service for us, it  really felt like so much more, and we now consider Ted and his partner  Solstice, to be friends who joined us at a most important day in our  lives.

If you want an honest, thoughtful, genuine and respectable officiant  to conduct your ceremony the way you want, then you should talk to Ted.  It was already a memorable day, and Ted brought the right type of magic to make special.”

“We knew we wanted our wedding day to be different than most. We wanted it to have meaning, be symbolic and embrace the parts of our lives in our ceremony that is the foundation of our relationship. We met Ted at a local gathering of those in our D/s lifestyle. Through networking we found he was not only an ordained minister but he  was pagan as well!  And so began our conversations - and engagement with Ted as our officiant.

It was important to me to honor my Wiccan spirituality, incorporate our D/s lifestyle commitments, and ensure our guests were engaged both in understanding the significance of the components of the ceremony as well as in magikal workings.

Ted talked to us.  He got to know us- our story, our background, our  relationship dynamic and our vision.  He took three different  ceremonies- handfasting, ceremony of roses, and exchanging of wedding rings- and incorporated all three into a flawless ceremony that flowed perfectly.  He worked with me to incorporate my requests for circle creation, opening, and magikal workings.  He then brought himself and his own intuitive dialogue to bring it all together. He explained to our guests the significance of each step of the ceremony and our guests were engaged to be part of it- not just bystanders."
