Welcome
My name is Gwen Taylor and I would be honored to be the officiant/ordained minister for your Outer Banks wedding. I would be delighted to talk with you in person, by phone, or by email about your special celebration at no charge to learn what is important to you and what type of ceremony will be most meaningful for you.
Ceremonies
Marriage, renewal, LGBTQ and other life events – may be religious, spiritual, civil, standard, customized, multicultural, and at any place of your choosing from Manteo to Corolla. A booklet with many choices is available upon request.
Background and Experience
Since 2003, more than 1000 ceremonies in Virginia and North Carolina and each has been different, special and enjoyable! My background is quite broad in terms of the different parts of the country – and others – in which I have lived and my vocations – wife, mother, lawyer, clinical social worker, volunteer, and artist – which I believe adds to my understanding and creativity.
Religious/Spiritual Tradition
As a Unitarian-Universalist, I affirm each person’s right to determine what is religious for him or her, and I celebrate all religions and traditions in which people can exist in dignity and harmony.
