Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: My name is Jeremy Kelley. I'm a licensed wedding officiant, with the States of Arkansas and Oklahoma. Please read below, for answers to commonly asked questions.
Q. Can you give us the ceremony we want?
A. Yes! It's YOUR wedding. You can write your own vows, design your own ceremony, have the wedding YOU want! If you'd like suggestions for readings, poems, music, etc, I can help with that.
Q. What's your experience?
A. I am well experienced in wedding ceremonies. I have performed outside weddings, hotel weddings, weddings in old theaters, and even a wedding in a dark, candle-lit room.
Q. Are you flexible with locations?
A. Yes. I travel to the location of your choice. Churches, parks, theaters, waterfalls, although I think i would have to draw the line on sky diving. ;)
Q. What are your credentials?
A. That's a great question and an important one. You probably wouldn't prefer to have a mail-order minister perform the most important ceremony of your lives! I am a seminary graduate, and hold a Bachelor's Degree in Systematic Theology from Global University, in Springfield, MO. I was licensed and ordained by the Assemblies of God, and later by the Independent Ministers and Spiritual Council. I served as a Youth Pastor for a number of years.
Q. How often will we meet?
A. As often as you'd like. I'm available for pre-marital counseling, if you'd like. It's usually one night a week, for 4 weeks. I am also available for he rehearsal day, if you're having a rehearsal. You may contact me by phone, text or email anytime, if you have questions.
Q. How much do you charge?
A. Typical charge is $75. This fee includes initial consultation, ceremony preparation, travel time and expenses, and ceremony performance. This price does NOT include pre-marital counseling, which is $120 for all sessions.
Q. Will you be joining us at the reception?
A. No. your wedding reception is a time for you and your new spouse to celebrate with your family and friends and those that are close to you. While many of the couples I've married invite me to attend the reception, I respectfully decline. I offer my best wishes and congratulations and be on my way, so you can enjoy the rest of your big day.

Mr. Kelley was terrific! He was there for us when we first decided that we wanted to get married. Offered pre-marital counseling. Was extremely open minded with our arrangements and suggested a few changes that worked out even better for us. He drove from NW Arkansas to Fort Smith and was there about 2 hours before the actual ceremony to make sure that we were both mentally and spiritually ready for this adventure. Mr. Kelley was such a professional yet very down to Earth. It was such a pleasure having him welcome us to our peers as husband and wife.

After finding him 3 weeks before the wedding and talking to him, setting when and where it was, despite our phone being out of minutes a week before the wedding. He still was on time. He assured us it would go well. He did an amazing job. Im sure it would have been better if we had met before and went over things more. But thats wasnt his fault. Thank you so much for doing this last minute!!
Thank you, The Treats.
