Wedding ceremonies led by Susan and others at CELH are n
ot ordinary, out-of-the-box, ceremonies. Each wedding is custom planned and orchestrated to meet the needs of the couple being married. In o
rder for Susan to familiarize herself with the goals, intentions, and the love the couple has for one another, it is customary for Susan to meet with the couple at least twice before the ceremony.
Susan is also an accomplished vocalist with 4 recordings and is able to sing with accompaniment when requested.
In addition to legally-sanctioned ceremonies, Susan has performed dozens of gay and lesbian marriage ceremonies (some of which are legally sanctioned in Massachusetts) and has experience and personal understanding of the depth and meaning of such ceremonies to those making a life-long commitment to one another.
Susan's full time employment is as a community leader, creating funding and programs that promote positive child and youth development.
