About Me
Professional Wedding Ceremony Officiant
My name is James Mulvihill and I am the founder and wedding Officiant/Minister of Two Become One Ceremonies. I started Two Become One Ceremonies in September, 2013 out of a passion for helping others who want a unique and memorable ceremony that is also enjoyable and fun. Through strategic partnerships formed over the years, I’ve learned to be flexible and accommodating to each client’s unique needs and preferences. I hope you’ll let me plan your next unforgettable wedding ceremony. You won’t regret it!

You did an amazing job! Thank you so much.

Wanted to thank James Mulvihill and Jean for their excellent job at our wedding and helping guide us through what was going to happen during the rehearsal. They were very easy to work with and knowledgeable. We received numerous compliments from our guests about them the rest of the weekend. I would gladly recommend them to anyone looking for an officiant.

Two Become One Ceremonies made the big day go off without a hitch. I don't have enough kind words for James and Jean! The two went out of their way to make sure we were being heard as a couple. They were fun, thoughtful, kind and professional - everything you need on such an important day. They even made sure to include our pup, too! I've gotten countless compliments on the ceremony and how personable James made it. I highly recommend Two Become One Ceremonies, and if I could go back - I'd choose them time and time again.

They worked closely with us to create the ceremony we wanted. They responded right away when I showed interest in learning more about them and they were very easy to work with. Our whole wedding party said James was funny and did a great job. I also loved that Jean helped everyone get ready to walk down the aisle. We couldn't be happier with how our ceremony went.

Types of Ceremonies
These are different types of ceremonies you can include into your main ceremony!!
Family Medallion:
The Family Medallion ceremony is a way to include children in the wedding ceremony. This is a great way to build a bond between step-parents and step-children. The recognition of children offers an opportunity for your guests to bear witness not only to your vows as husband and wife but your family commitment as well.
Veil, Cord or Coins:
A Veil symbolizes the oneness of marriage. A Cord symbolizes the unbreakable bond of marriage. Coins symbolize the stewardship of earthly possessions.
Jumping the Broom:
Jumping the broom is a phrase and custom where the couple jumps over a broom. The tradition of Jumping the Broom symbolizes sweeping away the old and welcoming the new–a symbol of a new beginning.
Wine:
The bride and groom drink from a single glass of wine. This symbolizes drinking from the cup of life and sharing all of its experiences together, both bitter and sweet.
Unity Candle:
Lighting a Unity Candle during your wedding ceremony is a special way to symbolize your two lives joining together as one.
Sand:
A Sand Ceremony or Blending of the Sand is a unique way to symbolize two lives becoming one in a wedding ceremony. This is also a great way to incorporate children or family into the wedding.
Unity Canvas Painting:
A fun alternative to the traditional unity candle ceremony or sand ceremony, the Unity Canvas Painting Ceremony lets the couple celebrate their unity ceremony in an artistic way that truly represents themselves.
Rose/Flower:
A Rose/Flower ceremony is a romantic way for the bride and groom to exchange their first gifts as husband and wife.
Love Letter and Wine Box:
A Love Letter and Wine Box ceremony will serve as a lasting reminder of the commitments made to one another. Heartfelt letters, encapsulating your thoughts and feelings are locked away in a wine box to be revealed several years into your marriage. Whiskey, Scotch or Tequila can easily be switched out for the
wine.
Ribbons, Butterflies and Bubbles:
Ribbons, Butterflies and Bubbles are a fun way of ending the wedding ceremony. This takes place just before the bride and groom recess down the aisle as husband and wife.
Mother’s Rose:
The Mother’s Rose Ceremony is a great way of honoring the Bride & Groom’s mothers or other family members during a wedding ceremony.
The Rose or Flower:
Allows the bride and groom a way for them to show gratitude for the love bestowed upon them.
