About Me

I am Starlene Joyner Burns, the founder of SJB Ministries LLC (dba) The DC Marriage Knot, US Capitol Elopements, God’s Center for Divine Healing (product brand – My Healing Queen), Starlene Moon Photography and DC Black Arts. And I bring all my services together under Startum, my 70ish brainchild.  Advocacy includes; Equality Maryland, Stop Towing Our Cars and Feral Cats of PG County.

 

I have been married to my husband for 30 years, embrace my baldness as a right of passage to something great.  I love creating art dolls that tells stories, playing with my now mix-breed CockerPoo Beagle puppy, and kicking it with my spouse.  All of this may explain why I have a passion for weddings and a love for celebrating marriages.

 

Accolades

I have been the recipient of the Brides Choice and the Best of Weddings Award as a DC wedding officiant for consecutive years. My career as a minister and a DC wedding officiant started in 2004.  I have officiated more than 1500 marriage ceremonies, hold a degree in Theology, ordained as a Spiritual Science minister, and serve all faiths, beliefs and people.

 

National Marriage Equality

I enjoy the work I do, and officiating both same sex marriages and traditional marriages equally is my divine plan. If you want a leader like me to help you say I Do, call me.  I serve the believers and non-believers.

 

Wedding Pets

I love animals, and I enjoy seeing them as participants of the ceremony.  So make your fur baby part of your special day.

 

Associate DC Wedding Officiants

All my associates are ordained Spiritual Science ministers and authorized by the DC Superior Court, VA Circuit Court and Maryland to solemnize marriages, and are allies and supporters of marriage equality. If you’re wondering why I don’t list my associate DC wedding officiants here, it’s because this is not a wedding officiant directory that markets DC wedding officiants, MD officiants, or VA officiants.

My associate wedding officiants, assist this company when I’m not available.

 

Wedding Meetings

A discovery call is the one way for me to access your needs for an officiant.  After that, you can schedule a get acquainted meeting.  This meeting is held via Google Meet and reserved for serious inquiries.

So don’t wait to book your DC wedding officiant, call 202-253-3629 today or complete our booking form.
