We were completely blown away by Greg’s words during our wedding ceremony. We felt like he had know us for many, many years. Many of our guests commented on how warm, engaging and personable he was before, during and after our ceremony. We were truly blessed to find Greg. If you’re looking for a wedding officiant, it doesn’t get any better than Greg.

If this app would let me select everything I could review you for, I'd pick all of them!!! Greg, you did an absolutely fantastic job and you were so personable and patient. We could not have asked for a better officiant, you were everything we needed and wanted in one. You were so warm and kind and so much fun to talk with! What sets you apart from other officiants is your character and personality. You also did your job with precision and professionalism. Thank you so much for your amazing service. My wedding was beautiful and you were a huge reason for it. 🥰🥰🥰🥰 Here's the only photo I have on my phone with you but I'll be getting lots more from my photographer!

FAQs

How did you get started doing this type of work?
For many years, I worked in churches as a music director, youth leader, and pastor. I’ve also been a volunteer police and fire chaplain since 2006. In 2011, I made the transition from full-time church ministry to full-time hospice chaplaincy. I naturally officiate many funerals because of that role, so to bring balance to my own personal experience, and to contribute to the experience of joy celebrated in weddings, I began offering my services as a wedding officiant. I love the diversity of opportunities to be in people’s lives in moments of crisis or grief, as well as during times of celebration!
