About

On WeddingWire since 2023

Jeff Thompson is a non-denominational minister with a good sense of humor, a kind heart, and a gift for public speaking. This highly sincere yet fun and spontaneous professional enjoys bringing together groups of people, families, and friends together for the purpose of celebrating love! Jeff's background as a songwriter (voted best of WNC in the Singer/songwriter category three years in a row) and actor, as well as his training as a counselor (North Carolina LCMHC) give him the perfect combination of qualities to taylor-make a ceremony just for you. His ceremonies are as unique as the individuals getting married, and he spends time really getting to know each couple and their wishes for the ceremony. You won't get a cookie cutter wedding from this guy.

Officiant Jeff received a Masters Degree in Transpersonal Counseling Psychology from Naropa University, and has a lifelong love of ritual, storytelling, and rites of passage. Because Jeff is, in addition to being ordained as a minister, also a licensed professional counselor, he is also able to offer premarital counseling if the couple is interested in exploring this option. Package pricing is available for this.

Officiant Jeff is happy to offer services to all sorts of couples. Whether you're envisioning a religious, non-religious, or interfaith ceremony, Jeff is happy to work with you to design the ceremony that is just the right fit for you. This might include specific stories, quotes, jokes, homespun vows, handfasting, or really whatever your imagination might conjure. Jeff even helped co-create a "Princess Bride" themed wedding with one couple. Never forget those three little words..."as you wish."

Perfect Delivery

Jeff was an absolute delight and delivered the most meaningful ceremony we could have asked for. When we told him the theme was high fantasy he truly took it to heart. Incorporating material from "The Princess Bride" all the way through middle earth and ending on Star Trek. If we had let him talk any longer he would have stolen the show. 10/10 cannot recommend him enough.
