Discover the Peaceful Solitude of Our Serenity Cove Gazebo

Situate in a secluded woodsy cove, just outside Buckhannon, West Virginia, is a welcoming gazebo surrounded by lush greenery, chirping birds and all the wonderful things a country setting is known for.  Our Serenity Cove provides a beautiful alternative to the hustle and bustle of larger weddings, and couples find it to be a perfect get-a-way for a quiet, intimate elopement or small, private ceremony with immediate family and friends. The really great thing about this location is that it's use isn't confined to the daytime hours. After dark, it magically transforms into an OH SO ROMANTIC nighttime escape, surrounded by the soft glow of tiki-torches and candles. When you find the one you want to marry, your wedding ceremony should be special and I do everything within my power to make it that way. If a quiet, peaceful atmosphere surrounded by the beauty of nature sounds like what you've been looking for, give me a call and together we will make it happen. I am passionate about what I do and it would be my sincere pleasure to work with you. Always know that you are welcome to invite your family and friends, but because of space limitations, it is asked that you please limit your guest count to no more than 10 people.  We invite you to give us a call at (304) 472-0296 to secure your wedding date.

Matt and Allison ~   Fayetteville, West Virginia   . "We found Pam on the web while researching "Elopements in WV." Although our ceremony was very last minute, and we had to switch the date a couple of times, Pastor Pam was very pleasant to work with and made everything a stress free "breeze!" We finally chose to do our ceremony at her house using the "Trail of Grace" venue and went ahead with the photo package as it was just the two of us. Everything was just perfect! Jimmy, the photographer, was very easy to work with and had great photo ideas. The venue for the ceremony was beautiful with all of the Fall foliage! Pam's ceremony could have fooled anyone into thinking that she had known us our entire lives, it really was very personal to both Allison and myself. She allowed us the freedom to choose how everything went and sent us our photos and paperwork very promptly. She and Jimmy were awesome to work with and we will definitely be using them again for a vow renewal later down the road. I would recommend Pam to anyone! Thanks so much for making our "special" day extraordinary!!!"  . .  MESSAGE FROM PASTOR PAM: God has blessed me richly and it is my absolute honor and privilege to share a part of those blessings with you by inviting you to pledge your vows at my countryside home.  Even so, I ask that you please be respectful of the fact that this is my personal residence and not a public venue.  Pictures are an important aspect of every wedding and we are happy to include photography as part of your Countryside Wedding Ceremony Package. We offer several great photo ops to enhance the memories of your wedding day and this is always one of the most fun parts of the day. We make every attempt to insure that your wedding day is not only a time to celebrate the love you share, but also a day filled with warm smiles and many happy memories.  However, please be advised that no other Photography and/or Videography, neither Personal nor Professional is allowed on the property.  Absolutely no cameras, cell phone photography or video recording devices will be permitted. [NO EXCEPTIONS].  I thank you in advance for your understanding and adherence to this policy.
	. .  . ~ For those who want nothing more than to celebrate the love that is in their hearts. ~ * A Sweet, Romantic Love-Inspired Ceremony that is Unique, Meaningful and TOTALLY Beautiful! Written and Officated by Pastor Pam at her Log Home near Buckhannon, West Virginia.

MY MISSION is to share my passion for love and marriage by offering couples the opportunity to celebrate their vows in the quiet, peaceful solitude of a countryside setting. True, faithful, and abiding love is a precious gift from God and a gift to be treasured. It is my greatest desire to honor that gift in each and every ceremony I write. I invite you to contact me concerning your upcoming marriage ceremony and I look forward to sharing Heaven's Grace and the gifts God has given me.

If you are looking for someone who can officiate your marriage ceremony in the tranquil peaceful surroundings of nature without having to go to all the expense and drama that sometimes goes along with planning a wedding, you have come to the right place.  Deep in the heart of West Virginia, just outside the beautiful town of Buckhannon, there is a tranquil place of solitude, a place filled with gardens, birds song and everything the countryside is known for. I call this place home and to have developed it into a wedding venue that I share with others is a sincere blessing. It is a gorgeous alternative to driving hours to the Smokey Mountains and the best part of all isth at you don't have to spend a fortune to have the wedding of your dreams. I like to call it my "Little Piece of heaven," but others simply call it "Heaven's Grace". Many couples who have already been touched by its beauty keep coming back, just to visit the surroundings that have become so much a part of their memory and my heart is warmed that God has g iven me such a beautiful place to share. I find it to be a place like none other and to be able to share my home and make your wedding day both memorable and enjoyab le means the world to me. I would be honored to have you pledge your vows here.      My services are always about YOU and my goal is your complete satisfaction. My ceremonies are unique. they are beautiful and they are personally written to reflect the gift of love you have been given in one another. They are not your typical canned, off the shelf ceremonies and are geared to give you, your family and guests a gift of inspiration, laughter, and joy for the love you share.   I have officiated marriages all over the East Coast for the past eight years and in the process, I have found that many couples have a hard time finding a Minister to marry them if they are living together prior to marriage, if they have been married before, or if they don't belong to a particular church affiliation or religion. If this is your situation, you don't have to look any further because I do not hold those restrictions. My only requirements are that couples truly love each other, that they understand the importance and sanctity of marriage and that they have a sincere desire to be be united as husband and wife under God's blessing. That's it!   The Countryside Wedding Ceremony package includes a tender love inspired ceremony at my Serenity Cove Gazebo. The ceremony focuses on the gift of love you are to one another and, if you would like, you can also add a unity candle, sand ceremony, time-capsule, or other ceremonial add-on. You will receive a beautiful ceremonial photo package to capture the memories, as well as a portfolio containing a keepsake copy of your ceremony, a beautiful rose embossed marriage certificate, and inspirational marriage materials. I am not set up for receptions, but am prepared to recommend several wonderful restaurants in the area who can accommodate your needs.   I provide wedding music prior to the start of the ceremony, a processional song of your choice and because many of my ceremonies are elopements or small, intimate weddings with just the bride and groom, I give couples an opportunity to share their first dance as husband and wife following their ceremony. I have a huge selection of wedding songs and if by chance I don't have the one you want, I am more than happy to download it.   Not only are my packages all-inclusive, they are AFFORDABLE! I strive to make my ceremonies affordable to everyone and no couple should ever have to walk away disappointed because they can't afford to be married. It's not about the money, it's about the love and two people sharing that love for a lifetime and I am happy to work with you in whatever way necessary to make that happen.    When you book a wedding with me, you are not only booking a service, you are booking sincere dedication, experience, professionalism, integrity and everything I stand for. I love what I do and my ultimate goal is making couples happy. Contact me today for complete details and booking information. (304) 472-0296.   In the meantime, please feel free to check out my website for complete details about me, my home venue and everything I offer with my countryside ceremonies. It would be my sincere pleasure to show you around the grounds as you experience the beauty of nature, sounds of birds and everything my country setting has to offer. At the same time we will talk about your plans, the way you envision your ceremony to be and how I can make it a meaningful, memorable occasion.   You can't spend your way into a happy marriage but you can have a beautiful start to your happily ever after right here at my countryside home and I would count it a sincere blessing to share in the happiness of your wedding day. I look forward to working with you.

Tough issues plague our society and bring pain to our lives which in turn can cause problems in our marriages, leaving us in search of answers. This is the basis for my book "Secrets to a Deeper Love." I have an awareness of these issues and it is my vision and passion to help others deal with them; not only in their lives, but in the lives of others with whom they care deeply.   Unless otherwise stated, a beautiful Photo Package is Included with All Countryside Weddings officiated at Heaven's Grace.  This Package includes Unlimited Photos, delivered digitally by email, along with two custom collages, as pictured below, and is limited to only those services officiated at my Countryside Venue.   .  Rehearsals - $100 .  Pre-Ceremony/ Wedding Music - $100 - [Music Before your Ceremony] This includes wedding music up to one (1) hour before your ceremony.  The Bridal March or your choice of Processional and Recessional/ First Dance Song is included with your package.  [Any special music must be supplied to officiant prior to the start of the ceremony] .  Ceremonial Add-Ons - $50 each. If a Ceremonial Add-On is not included as a part of the Ceremony Package you choose, you may add one or more at a cost of $50 each.  Please note that this charge is for writing the information pertaining to the add-on into your ceremony and does not include any of the supplies required to perform it. I do not furnish supplies for add-ons and they must be provided by the couple. Most supplies; candles, sand, vases, doves, boxes, etc. may be purchased from a local craft store or online distributor. .   Writing Service - Fee will be based on the Package chosen from the above offerings., minus photography fees. I often get calls from couples who have asked a friend or family member to officiate their wedding, but many times the person chosen does not feel comfortable writing the ceremony. If this is your case, and you would like your ceremony to be personally written by an experienced professional, I would love to work with you. I will custom-write your personalized ceremony to your specifications, send you a draft for editing and I won't be happy until it fits your desires and expectations perfectly. Once you and your fiance approve your dream ceremony, I will finalize it and deliver it to you in a beautiful keepsake binder, along with a copy in easy readable format for your Officiant to use on the day of your wedding. Don't settle for less than your heart's desire. If I can help you, please don't hesitate to ask. Helping couples dreams come true is what I do and I would love to work with you. You may contact me at (304) 472-0296 or by email at faithaglow@aol.com.    . .  NOTE:  I often officiate more than one ceremony per day and it is imperative that weddings begin promptly at the time they are scheduled.  When a ceremony starts late it not only cuts into the next couple's time, it makes traveling stressful as I drive to the next destination. That being said, there will be a $50 per 15-minute late fee for weddings that do not start on time. This fee is geared to protect my couples from being inconsiderate of one another and to allow me to do the best job possible in providing each of my couples the great service they expect and deserve. If more than 15 minutes late I reserve the right to cut out part of the ceremony to compensate for the time difference.  I do everything within my power to make your ceremony perfect and I want your wedding day to be a beautiful, memorable experience. Starting the wedding on schedule helps that to happen. Thank you for your consideration and I appreciate your understanding.  .
