Greg was a fantastic find for our wedding! We found him on short notice, lucky us! He was able to work with us on vows, readings, and memorized a short poem the night before for us! All of our guests complemented him the rest of the night too, we couldn't have been more pleased. Thank you Greg!

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!
