About
When I officiate a wedding I want it to be as seemless for the people and simple for the bride and groom. They don't need to be stressed, they don't need to be worried about what's happening next in the service. Let me take care of that. I'm going to make the service as long or as short as you need as well as life-giving.
I love seeing new beginnings. I love seeing stories intersecting together. I love being at the beginning of a brand new chapter and being a part of that.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I normally like to hear how the couple met, a little bit of their journey. Tell me their story. After that I'll send them an outline for the wedding service. This is not something that's in stone it just gives us something to work with.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I was a communication major in college as well as a theology student in seminary. I have officiated over 100 weddings.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.
$300
How did you get started in this business?
As a young youth minister in a church, as young couples started getting engaged and married they wanted me to officiate their wedding. We had some days where I would officate 3 weddings in one day.
What types of customers have you worked with?
Traditional to creative.
All gamuts of ages.
Every race on the planet.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
Recently I was officiating a wedding where stepmoms and stepdad's were present on both sides. I wanted to make it clear that although there were so many different families represented, this was to be one family. I had all of the step parents come forward and lay their hands on the bride and groom as I spoke about the new household being established as I spoke a blessing over them.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
Make sure they know some of your story. Lets make this a relational event. Also I would listen to some of their speaking. You may find that you have someone too staunch or too inexperienced.
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
How long do you want them to talk; is 20 minutes good? Is 40 too long?
Obvously the vows. Do they have something they normaly use that would be perfect for your day?
Can they provide an outline for the ceremony that you can use as a template. Doesn't mean you are committed to that, but it gives you a place to start.
