We cannot express our gratitude enough to Jim. I knew from the first time I spoke to him that he would be the perfect fit for us. He is kind, empathetic, and understanding. He puts your fears at ease and handles everything every step of the way. He is the perfect balance between the expression of your religious values without it feeling overtly religious. He understands your beliefs and wants nothing more than to express them in the most beautiful way the day of your wedding. He delivered the ceremony with passion and love. Our guests kept asking us if he was our pastor because of how well he spoke. He spoke like he knew us like he loved us. He was the absolute best choice for us and representing who we are. Thank you so much Jim, we truly you.

We couldn't have asked for a better officiant for our wedding! From the start, Jim truly understood our vision for a small, intimate ceremony. His caring nature and attention to detail made the experience so touching and personal. He knew exactly what we were looking for and brought our dream to life. Overall, it was an amazing experience, and we are so grateful for his role in making our day perfect!"

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I am competitive with my pricing. I always want it to be fair to the couple.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Phone call, meeting face to face at least once before the big day, and then being there for everything the ceremony entails including the rehearsal.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been a certified officiant with the Universal Life Church Monastery since November 2012. I come from a strong Catholic upbringing. I am constantly working/practicing my craft to appear AND sound better as an officiant with each wedding. Additionally, I have been in the wedding business for a long time. I began valeting cars at wedding halls right after college. With that, I have attended countless amounts of ceremonies in my tenure.
