Hey Lovebirds! Thanks for swooping in!

Up to your neck in RSVP’s and table settings and realized you need to find someone to officiate your wedding?

First — congratulations!

You’re entering one of the most exciting, meaningful chapters of your life. There are a million little details to juggle, but let’s be real — choosing your officiant? That’s top-tier important. Like the frosting on the cake: it sets the tone and hopefully doesn’t give everyone heartburn.

📌 Quick Facts About Me

  • Real Minister: Lifelong, seminary-trained, non-denominational — not a pajama-wearing online ordained guy.
  • Experienced: 20+ years, thousands of weddings across Music City & middle Tennessee — from a truck stop to the Governor’s Mansion.
  • Approachable: I’m your officiant, not your preacher (unless you ask for a sermon — not holding my breath).

🎯 Personalize Your Ceremony

Use my Ceremony Planner document (online ceremony generation tool coming soon) to craft your wedding exactly how you want it — length, tone, readings, vows, symbolic acts — all up to you.

Religious or romantic? Traditional or contemporary? Mix it up — it’s your day.

The planner is just a template — feel free to go off-script!

🌀 Flexible & Easy

We can meet in-person in Bellevue at my home, or connect by phone, Zoom, email — or carrier pigeon. Whatever works for you.

🎁 Bonus: Marriage Prep Course

You get free access to my at-home marriage prep course — and it saves you $60 on your marriage license.

Totally optional, zero extra cost, and no push-ups required.
