Greg is amazing!
We chose Greg because of his life experience and his work as a hospice chaplain. We had a unique situation where we were having our ceremony in the living room so that my fiancé’s grandmother who was on hospice care could be present.
We aren’t particularly religious but we are spiritual and Greg found the perfect balance for us. He was great getting our background, giving us some starting ideas, taking our feedback, and creating the perfect ceremony for us. His glasses ever matched our colors.😁
Unfortunately, grandma passed away just three days before our wedding. Greg helped our family acknowledge her and still include her in our special day.
My wife and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to make our special day one to remember for a lifetime.

We truly enjoyed meeting and working with Greg for our small family wedding. In the midst of social distancing, during a time in which we could’ve even hug our own grown children, Greg provided a very positive, family oriented environment for our wedding day! We will treasure the video of our short sweet ceremony. We have taken every opportunity to share the video of the ceremony with our friends and family who were not able to join us due to the current circumstances. Greg did a beautiful job and we have received many, many compliments!
Thank you Greg for making our wedding day extra special! Everything turned out better than we ever wished for, and the ceremony was beautiful!!! We are so glad we found you, and so happy you married us! We feel truly blessed!

Greg made such a rushed experience and absolutely beautiful and perfect moment for us. We changed plans last minute to get married before my husband's deployment and it was such a process to make a rushed thing feel so real and unique and absolutely beautiful. Greg was so passionate when we met with him on the phone and talked with us for an hour to get to know us and our story and made a private, intimate moment feel like something that had been planned for months. He made it so personal and took the time to include details and made our vows and commitment such a beautiful moment. We are so grateful we chose Greg for this moment. ❤️

FAQs
How did you get started doing this type of work?
For many years, I worked in churches as a music director, youth leader, and pastor. I’ve also been a volunteer police and fire chaplain since 2006.
In 2011, I made the transition from full-time church ministry to full-time hospice chaplaincy. I naturally officiate many funerals because of that role, so to bring balance to my own personal experience, and to contribute to the experience of joy celebrated in weddings, I began offering my services as a wedding officiant.
I love the diversity of opportunities to be in people’s lives in moments of crisis or grief, as well as during times of celebration!
