A Ceremony That Feels Like You

Mindful • Intentional • Spiritual (Not Religious)
Not every partnership fits inside a traditional ceremony—and it shouldn’t have to.

At Fishing Without Bait, Jim Ellermeyer offers Minister of Ceremonies services designed for people who want something real, personal, and meaningful.

This isn’t about tradition.
This isn’t about performance.
This is about presence, intention, and connection.

What Makes This Different

Most ceremonies follow a script.

This one is created with you.

Jim brings his background in behavioral health and mindfulness to help you:

* Be fully present in your moment
* Create meaning—not just follow tradition
* Build a ceremony that reflects your values and your relationship

Because the most important part of your ceremony… is how it feels.

Who This Is For

This experience is perfect for:

* Couples who are spiritual but not religious
* Intimate weddings and small gatherings
* Second marriages or non-traditional partnerships
* LGBTQ+ couples seeking inclusive ceremonies
* Anyone who wants a ceremony that feels authentic and intentional

You just need to be present.
