History
Nine years ago I completed studies in Ceremony at the Celebrant Foundation of North America, was ordained as a non denominational minister and registered as a legal wedding officiant in the states of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. Since then I have married hundreds of couples in civil - non religious, spiritual and non denominational weddings. I happily serve the same sex, transgender community. Most of the weddings I officiate are personalized to each couple celebrating their love and their lives.
Specialties
Shauna Kanter makes it SO EASY to have a beautiful, personal wedding. She's warm, friendly, patient, funny, and very, very good at what she does. If you have Shauna as your officiant, you can be confident that your wedding ceremony is going to be wonderful! She guided us through the process with a gentle, steady hand, and she made it fun. She spent enough time with us to really understand what we wanted so she could create something that was personal to us. She gave us a lot of ideas to choose from--and I'm not just talking about music and readings. We chose ring vows that were meaningful to us, and we chose rituals that we wanted--like giving roses to our families during the ceremony, planting a rose bush and watering it together, remembering our deceased loved ones--and then Shauna put it all together and edited it, and edited it, and edited it again, until it was exactly as we wanted. Shauna gave us a tailor-made wedding. Many friends have told us it was exceptional.
