Ruthann Disotell, CFSP, CC’s Experience

Minister of Ceremonies

Celebration of a Lifetime

(Events Services industry)

2006 — Present (3 years )

Are you satisfied to have the same deal that was cranked out yesterday? Thought not. Your life is different from everyone elses. You want things 'your way'. The Burger King told you you could have that, and you believed him. Well, so do I. Whether you want to be married, honored at your retirement or celebrated on your anniversary, you deserve something that has you as the focus.That's where I come in.

Ordained and legal to marry you, I create a ceremony that has you written all over it. Let's learn who the Bride and Groom are and why they are together. Maybe we can cause a movement and have folks attending the ceremony, instead of just showing up for the party.

-New members added to your family? Celebrate the ties that bind.

-How about a Sweet Sixteen, Quincenera, or Bar/Bat Mitzvah that tell you teen how proud you are of them and why? You know they will don't always hear it when you tell them; but somehow, they'll readily receive this important validation through someone else, with sheer amazement.

-Saying farewell to a job or a neighborhood? Say it with style.

-Renew those vows with creativity and let the kids see how much their folks love each other.

Funerals need the same special treatment. Let's honor who the person was and why everyone is sitting in the room. It's a legacy they've created. Let's find the good in their life and be thankful we knew them.
