I was ordained in 2001 and became licensed to solemnize marriages by the Ohio Secretary of State in 2001 and the West Virginia Secretary of State in 2009. Weddings by Jester was officially launched on January 1, 2002 because there was and still is a need for a traveling wedding minister / officiant to serve all of Ohio and West Virginia. We specialize in "non traditional weddings in non traditional settings". It is not our intent to take anything away from local ministries but to enhance the couples choices when planning their wedding day.
