Unique and fun!

Jeff was quick to respond to our emails and was very kind. He helped make our ceremony unique. We also loved his suggestion of having him stand towards the back for most of the ceremony, so that our guests could focus on us. We wanted guests to enjoy the ceremony with some laughs yet still have those emotional moments, and he helped provide that experience. Afterwards we had guests say how it was the most entertaining ceremony they have attended.

Professional and Engaging

Stephen Jeffrey Watson was a great officiant from beginning to end. He was easy to communicate with and delivered on the vibe and feel to our ceremony that we wanted. We deviated from his typical plan but that was OK with him and we loved the ceremony. He engaged the crowd and was serious and funny when appropriate. We are 10/10 happy with our experience.

Accommodating and funny!

Jeff was great! We really appreciate how accommodating Jeff was. After first meeting Jeff, he gave us a plan of how he would run the ceremony. From there we were able to make small adjustments to his initial proposal so that our wedding was just how we wanted it. On top of that, Jeff was fun! Our ceremony was a blast and only received positive comments from our guests. I would definitely recommend Jeff!

The Guy

Hello, my name is Jeff. I am a one-man operation specializing in faith-free wedding officiation. My approach focuses on brides and grooms vs. the ecclesiastical. I weave tasteful humor and fun input from the couple into the ceremony dialog to create a spry, entertaining experience. My goal is to produce both tears of laughter and tears of joy.

I am ordained as a Right Revenue vie Univeral Life Ministries. Also, I am endorsed as a Humanist Celebrant via The Humanist Society.. I completed both my MBA and MSIS from the University of Utah December 2019.
