R and independent non-traditional minister specializing in weddings and handfastings , As a ceremonialist , Joanne supports all couples in celebrating their love and devotion for each other in ways that most strongly speaks to them through their beliefs , their joy and their love . Her inspiration to be a ceremonialist began in 2000 when her friends asked her to marry them . “ Bringing a couple together in marriage was such an extraordinary experience and the most natural feeling in the world for me .”
Joanne revels in her role when she receives an email after the couple have read the ceremony created for them , saying “ We Love It !”, or “ We both cried when we read it because you captured everything that we feel but were unable to express !” What she most loves about weddings is being present to the couple ’ s excitement and joy on their special day .
" Joanne DeGasperis officiated our beautiful ceremony and handfasting . We couldn ' t have asked for a better fit for us ! Her wording brought us both to tears and we continue to talk about our perfect ceremony on a regular basis . We were pleased with how updated she kept us throughout the entire process and the help she gave with adding the Oathing Stone tradition . It is as though she spoke the words we felt in our hearts and I personally loved the way she brought the four elements and directions into everything . She was also very patient with the one hour delay from the groom forgetting the marriage licence at the hotel ! It would not have been the same without her ! Thank you so much for everything Joanne , you gave us the perfect private ceremony we dreamed of !" ( A & J ) •
