Urbane Peachey

Urbane Peachey: Lancaster, Harrisburg, York, Berks, Chester, Delaware and Montgomery counties in Pennsylvania and northern Delaware. Urbane (pronounced “Urban”) has been an Officiant with Journeys of the Heart for more than seven years. He is adept at observing the special connections in the ordinary and extraordinary experiences of the bride and groom. He adapts readily to a variety of expectations for the wedding ceremony, whether the ceremony is religious, spiritual or secular. Urbane recognizes and values the importance of ritual in celebrating life’s passage and delights in the bonding so evident in each story. He is quite skilled in weaving the meaning a couple finds in their relationship into the ceremony. Couples find Urbane to be professional, warm and kind with a most delightful sense of humor.

Urbane received a master’s degree in international affairs from the University of Pittsburgh. In his first career he worked overseas as a manager of rural development projects. This experience has provided ongoing appreciation for the beauty and richness of diversity as well as for international and interfaith ceremonies. In his next career he was a minister and counselor with master’s degrees from both Lancaster Theological and Princeton Theological Seminaries. He was recognized by the American Association of Pastoral Counselors as a Pastoral Care Specialist.

Urbane is a wonderfully talented singer and for the past 15 years he and his wife Gwen have been singing major choral works each summer with the Berkshire Choral Festival, in Massachusetts. As an extension of that Festival, they have participated in programs in Canterbury, England and Salzburg, Austria. Back home in Lititz, Urbane and Gwen are choristers happily singing with the Lancaster Chamber Singers.

A recent highlight of Urbane and Gwen’s life involved an exciting and fascinating 6-week tour of the Canadian Rockies visiting many of the places where they had spent their honeymoon many years ago. Together they drove over 8000 miles and explored the beautiful and mountainous heart of our northern neighbor.

Urbane holds the distinction of clocking more miles traveling to weddings that any other Journeys officiant. He loves an adventure and has driven all over the region (and then some!) for the honor and delight of officiating ceremonies.
