Celebrant Ceremonies
Celebrant Anna P Bacall
Wedding Celebrant/ Interfaith Minister
  640 Wethersfield St, Rowley
508-265-3412  |  www.CelebrantAnnaBacall.com
   
A Celebrant ceremony is unique, written exclusively for each individual couple. No two ceremonies are alike, just as no two couples are alike.
In a collaborative process, each ceremony is customized to mirror your individual beliefs, traditions, faiths, and cultures by including and incorporating those elements that are most meaningful to you.
 
As your Celebrant, an Interfaith Minister, it is my honor to create with you the ceremony that you envision. Together we will build a one-of-a-kind ceremony that is a unique and personal reflection of you as a couple.

Please don't hesitate to contact me for a complimentary consultation.

--Anna
