Rev. Jody is very caring, gentlemanly, helpful, kind and punctual. His officiation of our wedding was exceptionally clear and concise. He speaks quite passionately with tons of heart and soul — he truly takes his role seriously and does it all with sincerity and a touch of mountain charm. We very highly recommend having Rev. Jody marry yall! He helped make our wedding that much more meaningful, and we appreciate every word of his service!!

Highly recommend!! Jody was absolutely wonderful. Jody performed the most beautiful ceremony for me and my new husband. I am so thankful for everything he did to make our wedding day special. The words he chose couldn't have been more from the heart.
Thank you Jody for making our day wonderful and making a memory I will cherish forever. ❤️

Words fail to capture the exemplary services provided by Pastor Jody. He's kind, wise, and makes you feel as if he's known you for years. He was abundantly early for my big day, and gave us helpful hints to ensure that our ceremony went smoothly. He also made suggestions so that our photographer could capture every moment without hindrance. As I was getting ready, he was found making conversation with my father, which put him at ease before the ceremony began. As the ceremony progressed, his words and the sentiments behind them brought my husband and me to tears. I simply cannot say enough positive things about this man. If ever a person meant to officiateweddings, it's Jody.
From start to finish, I had the best wedding imaginable, and it's all thanks to the magic of Pastor Jody.
PS-- his dog, Sal, is the sweetest, most handsome puppy around. I wish I could review higher than 5/5.

He was very professional and nice. We like his demeanor and the way he treated us. Short but sweet wedding. We wrote our own vows and he made it extra special for us.
