Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!

It would be my great joy to create a ceremony for you that is both spiritual and spirited, reflecting my background as an ordained Interfaith/Interspiritual minister and a Broadway theatre professional.

As a non-denominational and multicultural celebrant, I am comfortable working with couples of all faiths and spiritual paths including atheists, agnostics, and those who feel spiritual but not religious.

If you wish to honor specific faith traditions, we'll do that. If you want something non-traditional and/or blending traditions, know there are no limitations to where our imaginations can take us. I will create your wedding script, officiate at your ceremony and walk you through all phases of the process, from obtaining your marriage license to saying “I do!”.

I am honored to work with straight, gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender couples.

The beloved wedding song "Sunrise, Sunset" from FIDDLER ON THE ROOF gets new lyrics for same-sex couples' marriage ceremonies, written by FIDDLER's original lyricist Sheldon Harnick. Broadway actress Jana Robbins performed the world premiere of these lyrics at the wedding celebration of Richard Skipper and Daniel Sherman, officiated by Rev.

I approached Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning lyricist Sheldon Harnick, asking if he would consider writing new lyrics for his immortal classic, “Sunrise, Sunset” from FIDDLER OF THE ROOF, specifically for same-sex couples getting married. Here is the song with Mr. Harnick’s wonderful new lyrics having its world premiere at the wedding of Richard Skipper and Daniel Sherman, performed by Jana Robbins.

I was ordained a minister by New York City’s One Spirit Interfaith Seminary. 

Please call or email me to discuss your specific plans. (212) 307-1440 or rozzoe@gmail.com.
