Emergency Marriage

An emergency marriage can take place anywhere.  We have officiated marriage ceremonies in hospitals, nursing homes, hotels, and homes.  We have even served in emergency cases as backup officiants for venues.

It’s unfortunate when couples who have been living together have to marry in a hospital.  When that happens, we’re there.

Pregnancy Marriages

A pregnancy marriage takes place at home, mostly.  We have yet to officiate a marriage while a woman was in labor.  But that day may come.   Therefore, we welcome all emergency marriages without judgement.

Hospital Marriages

Hospital marriages are tricky.  The patient must be coherent.  He/she must be able to speak and be fully aware that he/she is getting marriage.  Getting married to gain financially, is not condone by this company.

We welcome couples who’s relationship can be validated by family and friends.

Hospital Marriages

A hospital marriage is not a celebration one thinks of in advance.  Circumstances create the need for an emergency marriage.

We’re here for you.

Military Marriages

Same day, rush, quick weddings is a must for our service men and women.  You don’t have to marry in a courthouse or by some distant proxy where only residents can marry.  DC marriages can happen the same day.

Immigration Marirages

Love happens everywhere even online.  Couples who meet from a far wanting to take the next step, our officiant / photographer can assist.

I’m Starlene,

your DC wedding ceremony officiant. I find joy in officiating weddings, designing hats for the occasion, advocating for equality, and creating art.

Now, onto the more mundane details: I am ordained in spiritual science, married for 30 years, a believer in God, caretaker of 2 feral cats, identify as ‘she/her, an advocate, and love spending time with my cockerpoo/beagle and husband.

I bring a unique perspective to my work.

Hospital marriage:  There are time when it is necessary to get married while hospitalize.   This is not a glamorous event, sometimes there is not family gathered to witness the marriage.  This type of services is offered in emergency cases.  However, the patient must be able to speak, be coherent, and fully aware that he/she is getting marriage.
