About

Having been married for over 30 years, I would be excited/delighted and over the top happy to be your wedding officiant. I can go solemn and serious -- or funny and witty. This is an important day for you, and I'll do everything I can to help make it a lasting memory! I can also conduct your ceremony in Spanish or Italian.

Jim was absolutely fantastic. He was extremely professional and helped to calm both my husband and I’s nerves. He also was able to help us with writing our vows and kept the mood very light and great. Will definitely be recommending him for any future weddings.

You are too kind, Rayne! It was such a pleasure to meet your families at both the rehearsal and the wedding day -- everyone was so friendly and welcoming!! My best wishes for you and Sterling as your build your lives together. Best regards, Jim

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Base fee covers travel in Southeast Louisiana. Additional locations will be based on mileage.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We can chat to discuss your needs via phone, Skype, Google Meet, Zoom, or in person if you live in Livingston or Tangipahoa Parish. With 40 years of broadcast production experience, I'll work with you to put on a great ceremony.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a bachelors degree in Speech Communication, a masters degree in Communication Education, and a Ph.D in Philosophy of Education. I am an experienced public speaker, and can incorporate as much philosophy, spirituality, or humor as you need in your ceremony.
