Chapel of Love Ceremonies
Baltimore, MD, USA

I am Rev. Starlene Joyner Burns, a court authorized marriage celebrant, ordained minister, and wedding officiant. In 2004, I was inspired to serve those of all faiths and all cultures. So I founded The Chapel of Love Ceremonies in 2004, then SJB Ministries LLC in 2006. I serve as the executive director and senior officiant.

My experience has shown me that many couples today, seek a celebrant who respects their beliefs, relationships, and values. And my training has taught me to embrace cultural and spiritual diversity openly, lovingly, and unconditionally.

As a licensed minister, I am authorized to perform weddings and other rites of passage. I received additional authorization from the Superior Court of Washington DC and Virginia, for the solemnization of marriages.

I know that Maryland does not offer same sex marriage, right now. But we are fighting hard to change this.

Meanwhile, you are welcome to have your marriage officiated in DC through a private signing ritual, then return to Maryland or Virginia for your big wedding celebration.

If you contract me to officiate your big wedding in MD or VA (first); then your signing ritual in DC is free (certain conditions do apply).

I am always travelling up and down the highways of Maryland, DC, and Virginia performing weddings. So travelling to your ceremony site would not be a problem. A site can be a garden, park, banquet hall, country club, ballroom, hotel, mansion, restaurant, cruise ship, yacht, etc. No matter where you hold your ceremony (waterfront or land); I'll be there.

Letting me know where, when, and how to get there; puts me at the right place at the right time. The last thing I want to share with you is, I love my job, and I enjoy officiating same sex marriages. Working with our gay and lesbian people is always a blessing to me.

So pick up the phone, and give me a call today! I'm waiting to hear from you.

Embracing Love Always,

Rev. Starlene Joyner Burns
