Upon agreement of practical details such as date, time, location and fee, she'll offer sample ceremonies and suggestions to help you create your ceremony. With Puja as guide, via email and telephone, you will approach your ceremony with every confidence! Puja says, "I ask you to allow the deep significance of your commitment to grow as you prepare for your special event. Your ceremony will then reflect your unique heart-felt spiritual perspective and it will be an honor for me to officiate."
Couples
say, "Thank you so much for such a personal and beautiful ceremony. The day simply would not have been the same without you. Our families and friends thought you were fantastic and so do we." Carling & Thomas From Anne, "We loved our wedding! I could not have asked for anything more. Thank you so much for your calming energy, wonderful spirit, and kindness." From her husband, Burt, "You had so much influence upon us as we came together on what we wanted to share with the world. I am very grateful for your presence, and I am very happy!" "From the time I got engaged I knew I wanted Puja to officiate our wedding. Initially the idea of planning our own ceremony seemed daunting, but Puja's many years of experience and great advice immediately put us at ease. She gave just the right amount of guidance while still encouraging us to incorporate our own beliefs and ideas into our ceremony. The end result was a very personal (non-cheesy!) ceremony that I will always cherish. To this day, our friends and family still talk about how unique and special our ceremony was. And as a bonus, Puja's soothing voice quickly melted the wedding day nerves away!" Gayle Baby Blessings: Give thanks for the miracle of birth; welcome and name, dedicate or baptize your child; vow to honor your responsibilities as parents; Ask your community for their love and prayers. Vow Renewals & Anniversaries: Give thanks for the years you have shared; celebrate the deepening of your love; invite Divine blessings for your continued journey with beloved family and friends to support you. Memorial or Funeral Services: Give thanks for your loved one's life and his/her passing to Spirit; pray for comfort and healing; share your memories. House Blessings: Give thanks; affirm the love that is present and clear any negativity; set intentions for your home. Rites of passage . . . and more: Puja also officiates at ceremonies marking other life transitions - to celebrate happy occasions such as a birthday, new job, graduation, completion of a project, or to bring release, acceptance and/or forgiveness at challenging times such as loss, separation or divorce. Puja Thomson is also a member of the New Paltz Chamber of Commerce, Hudson Valley Weddings and Best Hudson Valley Wedding Ever. While generally, Puja will travel to your chosen location for your ceremony, ROOTS & WINGS, with its spectacular view of The Gunks, and especially the labyrinth, is also an ideal setting for a very small - less than 8 person - ceremony or for couples who wish to plan with Puja for a private elopement. |
