Weddings

Our weddings are a sacred joining of two individuals in a partnership of peace, contentment and love. Officiated by an ordained minister, we offer a ceremony that embodies the spiritual essence of all faiths and provides a conscious, loving foundation for the couple's life together. We often serve couples from different faith traditions or none. The ceremony is a container that lovingly supports those differences.

The Center offers an oasis of peace for your sacred event and a beautiful location for your ceremony that you will treasure for years to come. The temple is located within the meditation gardens and has a tree growing inside it, as well as full length windows that overlook the fountain and gardens. The ceremony includes traditional wedding rituals such as exchanging of the vows and the rings and the candle ceremony. It is also unique in many ways. Weddings at the Center include an on-site coordinator, a sound specialist, and a facilitated rehearsal. Our ministers are also available for weddings at other locations.

For those times when friends and family live far away and cannot make it to the ceremony, we also offer live video streaming of the ceremony when it is held on-site.

Memorial Services

When someone we know and love makes their transition from this earth realm we mourn that loss but we also want to celebrate their life and the difference they made. Our memorial service provides the opportunity to look back in reflection and celebrate a life, as well as support the next step in the healing process. Our ordained ministers bring a balance of compassion and understanding to the family and the guests. The memorial service is a compassionate letting go and saying good-bye to loved ones who have made their transition while offering the clarity and comfort of a spiritual perspective of life. People often comment that the process of planning the memorial at CSE is loving, compassionate and supportive of their healing process. Our ministers also officiate at offsite locations.
