About
Congratulations on this important major event in your life. This is a Christian Ordinate going out to all places for the officiation or ordination of the couple's wedding ceremony & vows. My professional education also equips me as a wedding planner and coordinator.
Notice Wedding / Ceremonial Fees:
Elope to my home / church $100
Outside radius (30 miles) Pine Hill, Alabama $150
Outside radius (60 miles) Pine Hill, Alabama $200
Gulf Shores and Beaches $250
Extra day rehearsals require additional marital fee. I also have sound system capacity, equipment and operator / dis jockey; additional fees apply
My pastoral college courses included the study of the art of wedding and marriage. This alleviates you from the extra cost of a wedding coordinator; however, if you desire an additional coordinator, I am open to it.. I also have powerful sound equipment; extra fees apply.
I am committed to the biblical laws of grace that a marriage is strictly between a man and a woman. It always seems good and helpful when we schedule a planning session sometime before the wedding. This can be done by a Zoom meeting, in a restaurant, your home or at the wedding location.
I can usually officiate the day you receive your marriage license and make your request to me.
I will look forward to hearing from you.

We could tell Rev. Jerry was the right officiant for our small wedding when we met with him the first day. It is obvious he cares about the meaning of marriage and wanted our day to be perfect.

He did a phenomenal officiating our elopement. He said just enough for it to me extremely meaningful without it being a long ceremony for a room full of guests that were not there. It was exactly what was asked for.

This was the most perfect choice for us! Our meeting was if we were old friends catching up. Our ceremony was very small but was very beautiful due to all the right things said for sure! The pastor sure listened when we all talked and we were very pleased with the ceremony.
