Introduction: My goal as a wedding officiant is simple and straightforward: to ensure that the couple's ceremonial expectations are met according to their preferences without fail! To determine if I could fulfill your expectations, I always recommend arranging a time to meet and discuss the specifics of your wedding such as the ceremony overview, location, vows, special arrangements, and other important details. As an experienced officiant, I can offer assistance by presenting a variety of standard ceremonies which we can customize to ensure that your ceremony is unique and personalized. The services I provide include attending and running the rehearsal, officiating the ceremony, incorporating any customization requests, paperwork signing and mailing, unlimited consultations, and premarital counseling. I hope to hear from you! DISCOUNT INFO: For couples looking to elope, discounts are available with the average price being around $125. This typically includes performing the "bare minimum" ceremony to make the marriage legal, and meeting at a location in/around Richmond. Additional fees may apply if more traveling is required or elaborate options are preferred.

Jeremiah was the unsung hero of our wedding day. It started pouring down rain about 20 minutes before our ceremony, but we were committed to moving forward with the outdoor site we loved despite the weather! Jeremiah didn't blink an eye when we said we wanted to proceed in the rain. He somehow ditched the umbrella and delivered a top notch ceremony (including all the best weather puns!) as if it was sunny and 80 degrees outside. I genuinely don't know how he pulled it off, as his notes must have been ruined in the weather, but from the first row to the upper balcony, everyone could clearly hear and enjoy the personal ceremony he crafted despite the loud rain. From the start, we had a great experience working with Jeremiah. We were late finding an officiant, and had no idea how to start crafting our ceremony or outlining our day. From our very first Zoom meeting, Jeremiah put our fears at ease and gave us an easy to follow outline that helped us organize our day and keep it personal to us/our story. We legitimately could not have asked for a better officiant - we found this amazing resource by searching for reviews and asking for recommendations, and time and time again, Jeremiah's name came up! Don't hesitate to book. You won't regret it: punctual, professional, and personal.

Jeremiah did a phenomenal job officiating our ceremony. From our very first call with him, we knew he was the right person for us. He was very organized and provided us with a lot of options to have our wedding ceremony be uniquely ours. He was clear and informative during the rehearsal and he delivered on our wedding day! He was on time, dressed appropriately and extremely charismatic. He made our ceremony exactly the way we wanted it to be. Jeremiah is a wonderful person and great officiant. Hire him if you want a professional and personable officiant. 5 stars all the way!

Jeremiah was exceptional in every way. I found him through an online search for an officiator and so glad that we chose him to officiate our wedding. He was very professional but with a relaxed and quite humorous personality. Made us so comfortable and we loved him. As expected, we had a few conversations about the celebration to which he was very thorough about the details and providing us with options and recommendations. The real test of his commitment to his job was when we decided to change our wedding to one month earlier and the day after Christmas. Jeremiah was traveling but "stopped in" to make it happen. Way above and beyond what would be expected and we are so very thankful to have met him. We won't be needing his services again😊, however he gets a gold star from us for being perfect for us. Thank you, Jeremiah!

Highly recommend Jeremiah as a wedding officiant! We absolutely loved the ceremony script, he incorporated readings that we wanted and catered to our other religious and language preferences. I was initially hesitant to hire an officiant (and have a "stranger" marry us) but I'm so happy we went with Jeremiah, it felt like an old friend was marrying us. He made the whole process easy and it was definitely one less thing to worry about on our wedding day.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Unlike other officiants, I simplify the process by having a standard fee that is all inclusive. When hired, I offer a flat rate that includes un-limited consultations, the rehearsal, ceremony, customization requests, travel costs, signing and mailing of paperwork, and pre-marital counseling (optional.)
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I first like to arrange meeting in person (preferably), by phone, or via skype/facetime so that we can meet one another and discuss the specifics of their wedding day. The goal is to develop a clear understanding of what they expect for their ceremony and from their officiant.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I'm a minister and over the years have developed a system to make sure we cover all the bases like the procession, vows, ring exchange, etc. Experience is the most valuable asset in this line of work.
