Introduction

My goal as a wedding officiant is simple and straightforward: to ensure that the couple's ceremonial expectations are met according to their preferences without fail! To determine if I could fulfill your expectations, I always recommend arranging a time to meet and discuss the specifics of your wedding such as the ceremony overview, location, vows, special arrangements, and other important details. As an experienced officiant, I can offer assistance by presenting a variety of standard ceremonies which we can customize to ensure that your ceremony is unique and personalized. The services I provide include attending and running the rehearsal, officiating the ceremony, incorporating any customization requests, paperwork signing and mailing, unlimited consultations, and pre-marital counseling. I hope to hear from you! DISCOUNT INFO: For couples looking to elope, discounts are available with the average price being around $125. This typically includes performing the "bare minimum" ceremony to make the marriage legal, and meeting at a location in/around Richmond. Additional fees may apply if more traveling is required or elaborate options are preferred.

We are so thankful that Jeremiah officiated our wedding! Jeremiah was incredibly kind and helpful as we were planning our ceremony. He was organized and gave us a clear picture of what we should be thinking about when deciding what aspects to include. Our ceremony was exactly what we wanted and was beautiful! Jeremiah even attended our ceremony rehearsal even though it was at a non-traditional time. Overall, I would highly recommend Jeremiah to anyone who is looking for a wedding officiant! He will officiate the perfect ceremony for you!

We are so grateful for Jeremiah officiating our wedding! He is a wonderful public speaker, he took the time to get to know us and our story, and he cared deeply about making our wedding day special for us. So many of our wedding guests complimented him and asked for his information. The pre-marriage counseling he offered was also a wonderful way to prep for our marriage and get to know him more deeply. Jeremiah was very responsive, on time, and professional while also making us laugh and smile. If you’re looking for an officiant that you can trust, connect with, and that leaves a great impression on your guests, Jeremiah is your guy!

My new husband Greg and I were just married on September 10th and just wanted to say that working with Jeremiah was a wonderful experience! When I set out to find a wedding officiant I had no idea what I was going to do and stumbled upon the Thumbtack App. After reading the reviews and talking with Jeremiah, I knew that he was the perfect one to handle our ceremony. From our very first message, to our many phone calls and messages, Jeremiah was always polite, informative, responsive, punctual, and always available to answer any questions that this future bride had that easily would calm my mind as It is easy to feel overwhelmed when planning a wedding. Our video chats went wonderful and by working together, we were able to come up with a ceremony that we believed worked well with our values and beliefs and Jeremiah was able to deliver that as promised on our wedding day. Jeremiah is incredibly personable. He was able to deliver our ceremony in such a way that conveyed the seriousness of the day with just enough humor to keep the attention of the guests. It was perfect for our personalities and for our wedding day. After our run-through at the rehearsal on the night before the wedding, I knew that I could rest easily knowing that all would be taken care of by Jeremiah the next day and that he had our backs. On the day of the wedding, Jeremiah was punctual, briefly met with me to ask me if I had anything else that I wanted to run over with him, and retrieved the documents that he would need to sign and send off on our behalf in order to make our wedding legal. (He would have taken care of this the night before however I left these at home.) He did indeed sign these documents and send them off to Chesterfield County. I did receive documentation from the county that our wedding is indeed a legal one. So Jeremiah did complete this step as promised. Also of note, Jeremiah was dressed very nicely; sharp and professional looking in a suit. He came prepared knowing all of the scriptures that I asked him to incorporate. He remembered to use the very important to me "Who Blesses this union?" phrase instead of "Who gives this woman?" phrase in the ceremony. And he incorporated the ,"Knot-Tying Ceremony with the Cord of Three Strands." We were VERY PLEASED with Jeremiah Dillion as the Officiant for our Wedding Ceremony. We had no idea where to start and were at a complete loss when we started this process. We 100% made the correct choice. If you are having doubts or are on the fence about who to choose, look no further. If your experience is half as good as ours, you will not be disappointed. P.S. I would add a picture of us with Jeremiah however, the photographer hasn't gotten any of our photos back to us yet. Sincerely, Angela & Greg

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Unlike other officiants, I simplify the process by having a standard fee that is all inclusive. When hired, I offer a flat rate that includes un-limited consultations, the rehearsal, ceremony, customization requests, travel costs, signing and mailing of paperwork, and pre-marital counseling (optional.)
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I first like to arrange meeting in person (preferably), by phone, or via skype/facetime so that we can meet one another and discuss the specifics of their wedding day. The goal is to develop a clear understanding of what they expect for their ceremony and from their officiant.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I'm a minister and over the years have developed a system to make sure we cover all the bases like the procession, vows, ring exchange, etc. Experience is the most valuable asset in this line of work.
