I consider it a special honor to Officiate weddings and I do so with love, and enthusiasm. As an Ordained Interfaith Minister, I have studied many great religions, philosophies, traditions and lifestyles. Whether you choose a traditional, non-traditional or civil ceremony, I will enjoy helping you to create a unique wedding service that you completely resonate with and that will fully engage your guests as well. If your family speaks a foreign language, I am happy to perform a bi-lingual ceremony.

I am the founding Pastor of the Empowerment Center Chicago, an interfaith ministry, whose mission was to "Awaken humanity to its spiritual magnificence" where I served from 1995 through June of 2007.

I continue to speak in spiritual and secular venues as well as teach classes on spiritual principles and their practical application in our everyday lives and maintain a thriving Pastoral Counseling practice. I was also voted as one of 100 women making a difference in Chicago. Prior to becoming a minister, I had a rich background performing and directing in theatre and music.

I typically travel in the Chicagoland area, however I am available to perform your wedding anywhere worldwide.

Please feel free to contact me to discuss any questions you might have. Thank you for considering me!

Rev. Joette
