Dear Bride and Groom;

My name is Ralph Petrellese. I'm an ordained non-denominational wedding officiant who specializes in performing wedding ceremonies throughout New Jersey. Years ago, I started singing at my church choir and then was the Chaplin for my local American Legion. I am the founder of “The Butterfly Charities” and started that as a way to help people in need. You see I love to help people, in fact I go out of my way looking for ways to do just that. It’s what I like most about my job, bringing people together to help organize all the important details of their Wedding. Together, we can design a custom wedding ceremony that will honor your beliefs, values and lifestyle. It will convey your feelings for one another and the vision of your future together. I'd love to talk with you about your wedding plans, where it all ends with “I Do” and you live happily ever after.

Reverend Diane is an experienced, heart-centered wedding officiant who celebrates the sacredness of your marriage in a fun, relaxed fashion.  She passionately guides you through the unique planning of your wedding ceremony.  Reverend Diane works with you every step of the way so you can take those first steps down the aisle with confidence! With a deep commitment to Love, her smiling presence will make your personalized ceremony joyous, uplifting, inspiring and unforgettable!  Rev. Diane was featured on the TV show FOUR WEDDINGS on TLC. 

Congratulations on your engagement and your decision to be married! Working together, we can create a beautiful ceremony whether it is a large, formal affair, or a small intimate setting. It is my duty to you to cater to your needs and create a ceremony that you feel will reflect your traditions and beliefs. I have been a wedding officiant for many years and have performed hundreds of ceremonies. The couples I have married tell me that I helped them feel less overwhelmed about planning the most important event of their lives.  I am very personable, warm, patient and flexible and will help organize your ceremony from beginning to end. As a non-denomination minister, I serve couples with all belief systems. I have served over many services in traditional and nontraditional settings, ranging from half a dozen people to several hundred people. No setting is out of the norm as long as it is what will make the couple happy and have a wonderful day.
