Introduction
Hi, my name is Jay Dorfman, and first, let me congratulate you on your engagement. I am a licensed, non-denomination wedding minister/officiant in Texas. I cover Dallas, Ft. Worth and the surrounding areas. You might ask why I chose to do this, and the answer is I love being able to share with couples one of the most important and happiest days of their lives. I originally got ordained and licensed to marry my oldest daughter several years ago after she asked if I would perform her ceremony. Since then, I have officiated hundreds of ceremonies, including two of my other children. Because I enjoy making the day special for you, I will take the time to work to make your day special. I have worked in the Dallas/Fort Worth area telecom industry for over 45 years. I have been a part of the “wedding world” most of my life. My family were caterers, and I grew up helping my dad and mom pretty much from the time I could walk. The day you get married should be one of the happiest days in your life, and my goal is to make it as special and meaningful as it can be. I will work with you to customize the ceremony to be a reflection of your unique and special relationship, with the goal of ensuring you are completely satisfied with your ceremony. There are so many items on the pre-wedding checklist to get accomplished and completed before the wedding day arrives. Let me help you check off finding your officiant. I truly believe that one’s wedding day should be a happy one and a day you will remember for the rest of your life. I would love to work with you to create the ceremony that you have dreamed of. I do not do cookie cutter ceremonies but instead, I speak with you and together, we work to tailor the ceremony to be a reflection of your special relationship, customizing what is included whether that is a unity ceremony, special stories and accolades, children or even that special furry friend My only goal is to ensure your wedding day is yours and it is a day you won’t forget. Contact me, and we can work together to create the ceremony of your dreams. Let my reviews below speak for themselves. Dates are only held and confirmed with signed contracts and deposits. I do not charge a travel charge. Please be aware that each pro is paying for your lead, and all I ask is that you reply. Thank you for looking me up. Happy Wedding Day!!! Jay Dorfman

We cannot thank Jay Dorfman enough for the incredible job he did officiating our wedding. Despite us being an hour late due to unexpected delays with traffic and dressing, Jay remained patient, kind, and professional throughout. He went above and beyond by helping to organize our participants and providing clear, thoughtful guidance on how everyone should present themselves during the ceremony. Jay's compassion and dedication to his role truly shone through. It is clear that he loves what he does and approaches every ceremony with genuine care, regardless of gender or background. We are so grateful for his time, effort, and expertise in making our day special. Without a doubt, we will be calling on Jay for our future vow renewals. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding officiant who brings warmth, understanding, and professionalism to such an important occasion. We loved our Texas Cowboy Minster! Thank you, Jay, for making our day unforgettable!

Jay was so amazing, during my wedding planning season, when I was so stressed out, I knew that I could always call him, and he always said “Don’t worry, just relax”, and he’d immediately provide me with a solution. During my ceremony, we discovered the groom didn’t have his ring. Jay remained calm, and continued through the ceremony as if nothing happened. When the ceremony ended, and we found the ring, he was flexible and agreed to re-do the ring ceremony. I’m so grateful that we crossed paths, and that we chose him to be our officiant. He maintained a calming presence, and was very humorous, cracking jokes, and keeping the guests entertained. He made what could’ve been a ceremony disaster, a funny story to laugh about in the future. Book this officiant, you’ll be in great hands.
