About

I am a people person and have spent my life seeking justice for people on the margins. Elderly, poor, LGBT, Lost Boys of South Sudan, Filipino Community, Disabled, My business is inclusive. I have married straight, gay, transgender, multi cultural, non religious or religious couples from a variety of faiths and beliefs. I For example: For over 50 years, I’ve had the privilege of officiating weddings for couples of all backgrounds, including straight, LGBTQ+, transgender, interfaith, and multicultural couples. As a gay ordained United Methodist minister, I believe every loving couple deserves a meaningful, personalized ceremony where they feel welcomed, respected, and celebrated. I am also a professional actor and singer and I can do weddings as a character. For example I have done Harry Potter themed weddings and officiated as Dumbledore. I am up to date on all my vaccinations. Would be honored to officiate your wedding. Love ❤️ Jerry

Where to start? Organizing wedding in Chicago while my wife now and me are in two different cities on the west coast can be very interesting. What made the biggest impression on us was Jerry's background in art and theater and of course that he was performing weddings for many years now. We had a nice call with Jerry to introduce ourself and to tell him about the idea that we had for the ceremony. He was very helpful, and as a director that he is he helped us to put everything together. He addressed all our wishes and created great script for us. Because of the weather we had to move our wedding for couple of hours. Even with the new time everyone was late and some of the family was running around city searching for the site. When Jerry arrived he saw me and my sister in law only. He was very very supportive and helpful during the wait time and he become one of the family members instantly. Even during the ceremony, since we didn't have a big wedding, he handled so professionaly some last minute adjustments in scenario that came from some family and friends. Which shows how wise man he is. After the ceremony he joined us for reception and we enjoyed his company and everyone loved him. I am not sure if I was able to give you an idea how happy we are that Jerry did our wedding. We are very grateful for Jerry's presence and for being part of the most important day of our lifes. Thank you Jerry again!

Jerry did a great job with our elopement on the 103rd floor of Willis Tower. He stayed in contact with us over the course of the last few months and created a beautiful ceremony just for us that we were able to add or make changes to and it came out great. It was a wonderful experience!
