Inclusivity

 Sam’s Zeyde started every workday by telling his employees, "Remember, we love everybody".  This has been the guiding principle for all Sam does. There’s not a day we wake up and don’t hear Zeyde saying, “Remember, we love everybody.” We believe the world is more beautiful when we recognize and honor all the diversity of race, color, age, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity/ expression, ability, and national origin. We celebrate you and your love regardless of who are you or who you love. All love is a gift to be celebrated and we would be honored to celebrate that with you and your guests.

We understand that shared values are the bedrock of relationships and merging lifestyles and cultures takes mutual respect.  We understand that whether you pray to Jesus, Jeshua, God, Allah, Vishnu, Gaia, Mother Earth, The Orishas, Xavier, the Great Spirit, Jah, or your ancestors or you do not pray, beliefs are important and can be observed in one home. We have worked with interfaith and multicultural couples.  We have worked with secular couples and bi-lingual couples.  We've worked with atheist couples and couples of earth-based religions.  We also understand that your relatives may wish for you to include religious or cultural traditions that may not be part of your normal practices.  We are able to help you bridge the divide, break down barriers and create a ceremony that includes exactly what you want and if desired a nod to the religion of your upbringing. 

Sam has traveled to more than 150 countries.  He has always done extensive research of the cultures he was traveling to so that he could be a respectful guest.  He deems it important to understand the customs and social mores of the community he visits. This knowledge of the world’s nations, religions, and cultures gives Sam a unique background to bring to planning interfaith and multicultural weddings.
