Experience
I have officiated over 700 ceremonies in every wedding setting imaginable; and officiating beautifully regardless of race, faith, non-religious status, background, gender, sexual orientation, beliefs, or lifestyle.
Planning
Coordination with vendors, venue, DJ, coordinator, photographer, videographer, etc. Wedding ceremony orchestrated so your photographer/videographer gets the best shots.
Guarantee
I strive for your satisfaction and provide full-service officiating tailored to your special day. In addition to officiating, this also includes signing, completing and submitting your marriage license to the county clerk.
Quality
Officiating is my profession. Unlike many others, this is not a side-gig. You are obtaining a fully licensed officiant to officiate and to help you create an experience of a lifetime.

The Wedding Rehearsal Guide
Choosing the right officiant can be tough and can make or break any wedding ceremony. I understand the importance of finding the right officiant to lead your wedding ceremony. This is why I have written and published The Ultimate Wedding Rehearsal Guide. This book has been crafted from the experiences of hosting well over one thousand weddings at Chapel in the Pines, and my experience of officiating over 700 weddings at various venues including hotels, country clubs, restaurants, banquet halls, private homes, back yards, tents, condominiums, parks, forest preserves, boats, gardens, green houses, chapels, universities and many other ceremony locations.
This book contains:
- Detailed, condensed, step by step guide with numerous pictures and illustration, planning sheet and more.
- Ensure your wedding rehearsal goes smoothly, whether you’re the bride, groom, wedding participant, wedding planner, or wedding officiant.
- On the wedding day, you need a written plan, also included is a condensed one page ceremony planning form. This is separate from the script. Just fill in the blanks with the names of all participants, ie. bridal party, parents, ushers etc, and the ceremony order of events will fall into place. Without the form, you risk having things out of order, just plain forgotten, or things you hadn’t thought of until it is too late.
This ultimate guide will help your wedding go on without a hitch! Use this step-by-step guide to assist in conducting your wedding rehearsal, feel free to add your own personal touches to create a dream wedding ceremony.
Available on Apple iTunes or at Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
