About
Your wedding is for most of us the most special day in our lives. It’s a life changing experience! My goal is to make sure that your day is as stress free, meaningful and memorable as possible. I’m just one person, not a company. I specialize in creating customized ceremonies to match your specific beliefs and lifestyles. I am an ordained, non-denominational Christian minister, so no church membership required.
I am open minded and willing to travel anywhere on the Gulf Coast or elsewhere. Some areas require an increase to cover expenses depending on what is involved to get to you. I try to keep expenses down, however with gas prices rising every day its becoming more difficult to keep the cost down.
A personal wedding meeting is not included in my price. I generally do a phone meeting or Zoom online meeting, unless you live near Lumberton.
Weddings are about family and should be a joyous time. I do my best to honor that ideal.
I will do weddings pretty much anywhere, beach, mountains, rain , snow (yes I have 4wd) and other outdoor locations. Also unusual themes are not a problem.
I have an area on my property for small outdoor ceremonies if needed for a reasonable extra fee.
I also provide a small PA, mic etc if needed at a slight extra fee. I also play guitar and sing. I can do special music for your ceremony or your reception. Let me know if this interests you and we can discuss the details.
Last minute changes are not a problem within reasonable notice.
I am very tolerant of all people and their diverse lifestyles that we see in our modern world.
I am a full service minister and will handle other services, such as memorials and Christenings. I also do spiritual counseling if needed.
Thank you for looking at my site!

jRev. Gregory made our wedding ceremony truly memorable! He was professional, attentive, easy to communicate with, and very flexible. We wanted something different—a ceremony that blended two cultures and traditions—and he was completely open to making it special and personal for us.
Before the wedding, he met with us to discuss the details and gave us very helpful advice about the marriage paperwork, especially since we are international temporary residents.
On the wedding day, he was incredibly patient and even helped us calm our nerves with a short meditation. Toward the end, it suddenly started pouring rain, but he kept going until the papers were literally getting soaked in his hands! 😂 He was determined to finish our ceremony, and it became one of our favorite memories.
We are very grateful and would absolutely recommend Rev. Gregory! ❤️

So far so good! We have scheduled a vow renewal with him & are looking forward to meeting this very nice gentleman. We have had extensive phone conversations and know that our vow renewal will be exactly what we are hoping for. He has provided wonderful information as to Biloxi & given us all sorts of ideas for venues & things to see & do while we visit the area.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I offer reasonable prices for all customers. I include creating the ceremony wording and editing in one price quote. I charge nominal expenses for gas and ferries on long distances. The only other up charge would be compensation for a wedding rehearsal if required. I will do long distance weddings if expenses are covered.
I can provide live music for an additional fee depending on what is required. I also have a PA system available for a nominal charge.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I start with a brief phone call to get your particulars for your special day and arrange a face to face meeting at a location convenient to both of us as soon as possible. At the meeting we discuss your ceremony order of service. The meeting will be extra if it is not within my local area.
If the face to face meeting is not possible then we just have a zoom meeting or phone interview and I edit the wording by email.
Then we choose the wording style you prefer and set up a time for me to send you a first draft of the ceremony words. If that is approved great. If not I edit the ceremony to your specifications. Then of course we do the rehearsal if required and of course your wedding day!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am an ordained minister and have performed over 300 weddings and climbing since 1999.
