Gathering experience as diverse as Bull Riding to Cosmetology our non denominational approach allows us to work with couples of all faiths, creeds and beliefs and genders. We believe that marriage is a basic human right and need. Our Only requirement is that you love your partner.
We enjoy life and love, having been married since 1991.
Life’s Moments Weddings was founded in 2008 as a way to be of service to both traditional and non traditional couples with a focus on traditional ceremonies as an outgrowth of our personal spiritual and community work. We started part time, working in and around our “9 to 5” jobs but soon found we loved the wedding business and helping people at this point in their lives.
Much has changed since those first few years, we found that not only do we love to do all types of weddings, but especially elopements and destination weddings. At the same time we found there was a real need for a business like ours. In 2013 we made the decision to go full time, devoting all of our energy and resources to just doing weddings and life event services.
In the years since then we have had the good fortune to do thousands of ceremonies, and since 2017 we have been blessed to be able to average over three hundred per year. Even during the height of the pandemic, we managed to be of service to couples who needed to be married, some having to travel across the county because their home state was unable to allow them to do the legal process. Our motto is “Answer the phone, and find out a way to say yes!”
In addition to being ordained ministers, we carry all the necessary business licenses, tax certifications and insurance to conduct business in the states of New Mexico, Texas, Colorado, Utah and Arizona. While we reside in Albuquerque, we work all over our primary service area of New Mexico. From the Four corners to the Boot heel, the Mountains of northern New Mexico to the oil patch, we have worked in every area and community in the Land of Enchantment
We love answering questions, and helping people get the right fit for their particular wants and needs for their ceremony. If you want to get married on a mountain top, or over looking the Rio Grand Gorge, from the white sands monument, or a roof top in Santa Fe, Taos or Albuquerque we can and do help people put together a ceremony that is just right for them. Give us a call or drop us an email, we are happy to help.
