Hello, and congratulations on your engagement!  

>click here for a brief voice greeting  >click the 2nd video below for a video message from me

My name is Ralph Griggs, and I am a life-long minister (ministry is all I've done since I was 20). One of the most enjoyable parts of what I do is helping couples with their wedding ceremonies, and I've now assisted hundreds of couples in Nashville and throughout middle Tennessee.                                  

Many couples are looking for a caring minister or officiant for their wedding. They may be new to town and don't know anyone, or don't have a home church at present - or if they do, their minister is simply unavailable for their wedding. Or they just aren't church-going people right now.

They want more than a city official who may offer a vanilla matter-of-fact ceremony, and they want to know that they have a real minister.

This is an exciting time for you with many details to decide!  Choosing your minister/officiant is one of the more important ones.

To help you get to know me, and to provide some information to help make all your dreams for your wedding day come true -you'll find information here on:

  • Answers to FAQ's about me & my services as a wedding minister / officiant (Types of ceremonies you do?  How to schedule a wedding?  The honorarium?  etc).

"Minister Griggs, I got your name and info. from many happy brides on theknot.com. You sound exactly like what my fiancé and I will need . " -Jenny 

"Dear Mr. Griggs, We can't thank you enough for the beautiful ceremony you gave us. We received so many compliments. Several people asked us if we wrote our own vows because if was so unique! We were both simply amazed when you began to speak and it became obvious that you weren't reading, but reciting . . . " -Noreen

Updates:

Historic Cedarwood Mansion has announced a special Nashville wedding elopement package. If you don't have time to plan, want something a little smaller and don't want to spend a fortune, this could be the deal for you. It includes a lot of extras to make the wedding truly special.

The wedding venue C.J.'s Off the Square in Franklin has reopened! I was privileged to help with a wedding there that recently made it on theKnot you can get to here. Also associated with CJ's is the Williamson County Weddings Boutique. They have periodic special "shows" with treats and prizes. Check the details at: http://www.williamsoncountyweddings.com/registration.html

I officiated the wedding for Jessica Harp (of the female country duo The Wreckers) and Jason Mowery. There's a story about the wedding in the summer edition of In Style Magazine

 

Thank-You Notes:

 

Ralph, We are running off to our honeymoon, but wanted to send you a quick photo of our BEAUTIFUL wedding. You did such a great job - we received so many compliments about your service. Literally, everyone was moved to tears by the service. And, you made the whole process easy and FUN! Thank you so much. You have a true gift and we are so pleased you could share it with us! Thanks, Nicole

 

Just a note this morning to thank you so much for your wonderful addition to our daughter's wedding. Everyone there felt your warmth and kindness throughout the ceremony - it felt as if you had always been our pastor!  We are so happy we found you, and now you are forever a part of our cherished memories of the day...

-Matt & Regina Nicholson

 

Mr. Griggs, I just want to tell you how thankful we are to have had you as a part of our special day. Everything was so easy and went smoothly. We are certainly going to tell everyone of you fantastic service. It was a pleasure to meet you. We wish you all the best in the upcoming holiday season!

Thanks a bunch, Jacqueline and Philip

 

Dear Ralph....we cannot thank you enough for playing such an important role in our most special day. Without us knowing you very well, you really seemed to fit us as a minister. The ceremony was more than we could've ever asked for. I felt a calm spirit come over me that I'd never felt before...you didn't just marry us, you allowed our family & friends the genuine opportunity to experience what we feel in our hearts....and we thank you for that." -Bethany & Josh VanMeter
