My name is Reverend Sharon Marquart, Spiritual Director of Open Heart Ministries. I became an Ordained Minister through Universal Life Church in 1996. Open Heart Ministries is an Alternative Ministry, meaning I do not have a church or congregation. I facilitate classes and workshops, offer individual and group spiritual coaching, and write and publish inspiring books and articles. I have been called to serve as Interim Minister for several churches in the area in which I live.

Over the past seven years I have put energy into developing a Wedding Ministry and have married over 500 couples. I consider my wedding ministry to be one of unconditional love. I have few requirements for the couple to meet in order for me to perform their ceremony; I bring no agenda to their relationship. In turn, couples often say that I am an answer to their prayers. They are grateful for my willingness to honor them and their beliefs. I believe this is the greatest service of love we can offer another.

I began creating my Wedding Ministry using my home phone, coffee table, a word processor and my car. I performed a few ceremonies for friends. I took out a small ad in the local newspaper. In the past five years my wedding ministry has grown 370%. Through this growth process I have identified many concepts and ideas that have "worked" and those that have not. It is my pleasure to share this information to assist you in building a successful wedding business as you help couples create their special day.

Your questions and/or comments are always welcome.
