Pledge your vows as you enjoy the sounds of nature, tranquil gardens and the serene beauty that awaits you. Are you tired of wasting time on the Internet searching for your own solution to a private, simple wedding? Are you looking for an Ordained Minister who can write and officiate a uniquely meaningful ceremony in a quiet, peaceful setting? Look no further! I am an Ordained Non-Denominational M
inister with Sweet Song Ministries, and I would be honored to officiate your vows at my Charming Countryside Wedding Venue, Heaven's Grace. Located just outside Buckhannon, West Virginia, this beautiful gem boasts our Serenity Cove Gazebo. Surrounded by lush greenery, chirping birds and all the wonderful qualities a country setting is known for, couples find this intimate venue to be the perfect location for a spur-of-the-moment elopement, small wedding, or a special vow renewal. My all-inclusive, love-inspired ceremonies are Beautiful, Professional, AFFORDABLE, and each ceremony package includes Venue, Officiant, Music, Photography, and a copy of my E Book, "Secrets to a Deeper Love: How to Create a Happy Marriage." My name is Pam, and I am a fully Licensed, and Ordained, Non-Denominational Christian Minister/ Professional Wedding Officiant. I began family ministry in 2011 and have been blessed to officiate at some of the most incredible venues throughout the East Coast. And now, 1,000+ ceremonies later, I can honestly say that it has been the experience of a lifetime. I have met so many wonderful couples and worked to create some of the most amazing ceremonies as I learned about their cultures, traditions, and wrote love stories to reflect their most cherished dreams and combined personalities. As with everything in life, though, things change and by God's grace, I was able to open my own venue in 2018. I continued to travel, while officiating small ceremonies here at home, and as of June 2023, I now officiate elopements, weddings, vow renewals, and other life-event ceremonies exclusively at my home venue, Heaven's Grace. You will find this welcoming venue nestled within a quiet, peaceful setting, adjacent to my log home, located just outside Buckhannon, West Virginia. And I must tell you... the drive getting here is almost as gorgeous as the venue itself. Having been in the wedding industry for so many years, I realize how expensive weddings can be. I have seen many couples struggle to find a way to pay for their wedding and in my heart, I know it shouldn't be that way. My sole purpose in officiating ceremonies at Heaven's Grace is to provide a quality service at an affordable price, so that couples don't have to sacrifice their dreams or settle for less than they truly want. Every couple has a song of love in their hearts that they want the whole wide world to hear and helping them express that song in words is what I do best. I specialize in beautiful custom-written personalized ceremonies that capture the heart and soul of a relationship and strive to ensure that each ceremony I officiate is UNIQUELY BREATHTAKING, ... just the way YOU want it! My love-inspired ceremonies are Beautiful, Professional, AFFORDABLE, and each all-inclusive ceremony package includes Venue, Officiant, Music, Photography, and a copy of my E Book, "Secrets to a Deeper Love: How to Create a Happy Marriage." I also provide Interpretive Services upon request. My ceremonies are never religious unless the couple specifically asks for them to be. Instead, they are spiritual in nature and focus on the gift of love God has given them, being good to each other and cherishing their love for a lifetime. They are also not canned, off the shelf ceremonies. Each one is love-inspired and personally written for the couple I am working with. They can be contemporary, traditional or a nice blend of the two. I can provide samples of readings, vows, and ceremonial add-ons that you may choose from to make your ceremony unique and meaningful to the two of you, and if you would like something special written in, I am always happy to include it. Your dream ceremony is limited only by your imagination; writing and public speaking are my strong points, and I always like to tell my couples, "If you can think it, I can write it." Once your ceremony is written and approved by you, you will never have to worry about it being heard clearly by your guests. I use an amp with microphone and do everything within my power to ensure that all bases are covered. Couples wait their entire lives to find the person of their dreams, and once they do, I feel it's my job to make their ceremony the absolute best it can be. I not only provide a quality product, but I also leave my couples with treasured memories and an experience that is both professional and completely affordable. George Sand once wrote, "There is only one happiness in life... to love and be loved." I would like nothing more than to turn your love story into a beautiful wedding ceremony. So, please come... unwind and relax as you enjoy the tranquil beauty of nature, peaceful gardens and all the lovely sounds that are sure to leave you wanting to come back for more. The grounds are secluded yet conveniently located at our home near Buckhannon, with all that it and our beautiful region have to offer. God has blessed us richly and it is our greatest desire to share a part of those blessings with you. We welcome you to leave all your cares behind and see for yourself what others are talking about! Some of the local deer might even stop by to say hello. Thank you so very much for considering me and my services and please do not hesitate to contact me at (304) 472-0296 with any questions you may have. I look forward to sharing Heaven's Grace and the gifts God has given me. Your own little piece of heaven awaits!! Take care, Keep Smilin' and above all...
Be Blessed,
Pastor Pam
NOTE: Marriages officiated in West Virginia must be solemnized under a Marriage License issued by a County Clerk within the State of West Virginia, and it must be presented prior to officiating the ceremony. West Virginia residents may apply for and receive their Marriage License from the County Clerk in the county in which they live. Out-of-state residents may obtain their Marriage License from any county within the State of West Virginia. There is no waiting period for Marriage Licenses in West Virginia, and many times couples will stop by the Upshur County Courthouse in Buckhannon and obtain their License before coming on out to my home, providing that the Courthouse is open and it is during business hours on the day of their wedding. If this isn't feasible, I always recommend that couples apply for and obtain their License at the County Clerk's office closest to their home state. The fee for a West Virginia Marriage License is $56 and the License is good for 60 days. However, if you choose to have marriage counseling prior to obtaining your License, and provide documentation, the fee is reduced to $36. I do not require counseling, but I am always willing to provide it at no charge for couples who desire it.
*** If a Marriage License is not obtained and presented at the time of your ceremony, it will be considered a Commitment Ceremony, and the parties will not attain legal status as husband and wife.
