Resort Ministries & Events

As a professional event planner, wedding officiant, and minister since 2012, I can officiate your wedding and help you find & manage fairly priced & professional wedding vendors. Catering, musicians, DJ's, decor, day of coordinators, and all things wedding and event planning is my specialty.

I offer choices from my team of professionals and then coordinate your vendors so that your special day and any worries are in my hands, not yours. You and your family and guests are free to enjoy your time and your great memories together without worrying if your vendors are doing their jobs. My job is to make your day seamless and I love doing that for you!

REVIEWS

"Rev. Donna officiated our ceremony, graciously offering her home in Gulf Shores as the venue. The vows she chose for us were so meaningful and her attention to making us feel welcomed and at ease was perfect. We had actually asked for just a quick "stock" ceremony reading and what we got was personal and special. Be both cried tears of joy!
Thank you, Rev. Donna, for realizing how special this day was to us."
