Jerry was a delight to work with. From our initial Zoom call with Jerry, we knew he was the right person to work with. Jerry was kind and warm. He has an aura of calm and peace, which is very much something I wanted to feel on my wedding day. He gave us ideas for our ceremony but also gave us the chance to collaborate with him on what elements we wanted to include. We consider ourselves lucky to have found Jerry and would recommend him to anyone.

Jerry did a fantastic job, was very professional and very kind to all our needs for our wedding. He was a very soft spoken, rehearsed our vows with us prior to the wedding. Jerry is definitely the one id hire again.

I'm so happy we found Jerry Miller to officiate our wedding on short notice. We were looking for someone who would satisfy the groom's religious methodist parents as well as my non-traditional family. His background and experience were exactly what we were looking for. Jerry had a lot of ideas for how to incorporate Armenian, Jewish, and Methodist elements into the ceremony for us. He was very helpful and supportive as we were trying to create a unique ceremony. He was always very responsive to communication. We had an outdoor wedding with a lot of planes flying overhead and he did his best to speak over the noise and keep people engaged. Thank you Jerry it was wonderful and we enjoyed getting to know you!

Details: Wedding • Interfaith • 21 - 50 guests • Help writing vows will be needed • English • Officiant will be needed at the rehearsal • Date and time has not yet been chosen
