"Suzanne Chavez, a non-denominational wedding minister, is an insightful, compassionate, and joyful Wedding officiant.
Her loving nature magically puts people at ease as she naturally accepts people for who they are. Suzanne is creative, flexible, and inspirational, and she brings this to each wedding she performs" - Brides Magazine 2006.
I am a wedding minister for the Loretto Chapel, Bishop's Lodge Resort and the historic La Fonda Hotel. In addition, I now have a beautiful garden gazebo on a private garden property in Santa Fe - perfect for a beautiful, affordable and intimate ceremony.
I would be honored to officiate your ceremony in any of these venues, or your favorite spot.
My ceremonies lean toward traditional style in structure and incorporate time honored wedding customs. My ceremonies are more reverential, spiritual and celebratory in nature than strictly religious. However they do resemble a traditional Christian style ceremony in structure, timing, stating of the vows, ring ceremony and the pronouncement. With that said, there is absolutely room to add your personal wishes to make your ceremony uniquely yours!
As an ordained minister, I honor and respect all beliefs and traditions, whether religious, spiritual, mystical or secular.
I welcome clients and inquiries from all religious traditions, spiritualities, races, genders, sexual orientations and lifestyles. I encourage your ideas for personalizing your ceremony.
Oh the comfort.
The inexpressible comfort
Of feeling safe with a person
Having neither to weigh thoughts
Nor measure words
-but pouring them
All right out
Just as they are
Chaff and grain together
Certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them
Keep what is worth keeping
And with the breath of kindness
Blow the rest away.
