Your wedding is a very special event. If you would like to have an individualized ceremony, one that you help create, then you have come to the right place. I would be happy to help you plan a wedding that is unique to you. Want to write your own vows? I can help you with ideas. Outdoor weddings are welcome. Need a wedding ceremony on short notice? No problem! Please contact me for a free consultation. I have performed quite a few weddings in Southern Maryland and would love to have the opportunity to work with you on yours!

 Joe wrote a wonderful ceremony for my daughter's wedding in 2007. Many people came up to me after the ceremony and asked where did we find him. I would recommend him for a personal touch added to a delightful wedding ceremony. Keep up the great work Joe!

Rev. Gary Davids
 I have personally known Rev. Joe Orlando for 40 years and I can tell you that he takes the time and care in personalizing the perfect ceremony for each of his wedding couples. Besides being a great orator he is a great person and friend.

 Rev. Joe Orlando is a great individual who really takes the time to find out what you are looking for in a ceremony. He takes whatever he is doing serious and on a professional level and at the same time has a great sense of humor. You will certainly enjoy talking and meeting with him as do all of his meetings.

Bellwether Events
 Reverend Joe is the consummate professional. He arrives early for your rehearsal and wedding. He has lots of advice for the couple as well as the bridal party. He is aware of the needs and desires of the other vendors and acts conscientiously of them. I cannot endorse him enough!
