About Me 

Hello, I'm Reverend Donni Kimmel, a non-denominational ordained minister and the founder and owner of BEYOND TRADITION. My ministerial journey began a few years ago, inspired by deep concern over the racism, bigotry, and discrimination prevalent in our society. It grieved me to see clergy members, of various faiths actively excluding and discriminating against non-traditional couples and individuals who didn't fit into the outdated profiles of the past. Such behavior stands in stark contrast to the true spirit of Christianity.  Having been ordained for several years now, I've had the honor of officiating numerous weddings. While my specialty lies in non-traditional ceremonies, I am equally at ease and passionate about performing traditional services. My clients often choose me for my unique ability to personalize each ceremony, ensuring their celebration is truly BEYOND TRADITION. I take great pride in my sensitivity to each client's individual personality and preferences, tailoring my services to create a memorable and heartfelt experience.  As a non-denominational minister, I have the privilege of officiating in almost any church,, providing flexibility and inclusivity to all. My mission is to honor the uniqueness of each couple I serve, helping them to start tomorrow's traditions today.
