The Wedding Of Distinction

Shelley Armatino and Kathy Vass are both very polished wedding ministers with the state of Connecticut. They can perform a flawless ceremony, but not every bride and groom want to hire a wedding officiant. They may have a member of the family or friend that would be honored to perform the role.

Unfortunately, public speaking is not fort everyone. And additionally putting together a wedding ceremony is not something easily accomplished. And then there is the legal aspect of a wedding ceremony. You need to have everything in place. Shelley and Kathy can help......

The ladies have put together a program to help those who would aspire to perform a wedding ceremony. It is called " Can't Wait 2 Officiate " and it can really make a difference. Shelley & Kathy explain in detail the workshop and how to get into it.
