Dave&Mirny’s Wedding

We could not have asked for a better person to officiate one of the most important days of our lives. By the end of it all, CJ didn’t just feel like our pastor — he became family. We are beyond grateful for him and would recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone looking for someone truly exceptional. An amazing man who took the time to do it right!

Walker Wedding

I truly can’t say enough good things about Charles Jackson. My husband and I got married on 05/09/2026, and it was the best day of my life. From the very beginning, Charles was kind, thoughtful, intentional, and so easy to work with. His communication throughout the entire process was amazing, from our first meeting all the way until he handed us back our marriage license after filing it.

If you’re considering having him officiate your wedding, do it. Our friends and family absolutely loved him, and so did we. He made everyone feel comfortable and relaxed, and our ceremony never felt stiff or awkward. It felt personal, natural, and full of emotion in the best way. Somehow he made the whole room feel involved in the moment, which made everything even more special.

We’re so grateful he was part of our day and truly could not have asked for a better officiant.

Perfection!

Finding an officiant was one of the hardest vendors to find for our wedding. Anyone can get up and read vows. We really wanted someone that match our personalities. Someone to make sure this most important moment was magical, but also light hearted with a touch of funny.

I met Cee Jay at a bridal expo, and immediately I knew he was the one.

Cee Jay performed our ceremony and nailed it just as we expected. He was as genuinely himself and threw in a few laughs just as we expected. He helped write the vows that really touched on our love story and how we truly felt about each other.

The number one question at the end of the event was “where did you find your officiant, he was amazing”.

Thank you Cee Jay for making our moment perfect!

Above and beyond service

A day prior to getting married I call Mr. Jackson and ask him if we are ready. Just to find out that in my excitement I never filled out the paperwork. Very kindly he asked me to breathe and assured me that everything was going to be fine. In fact he kept his word maid sure I didn’t have a panic attack and delivered a beautiful ceremony. He took charge to make sure that my wedding would turn out like the fairy tail I dreamed of. Definitely recommend Mr.Jackson because I guarantee he will make sure your ceremony is an absolute success.

An outstanding ceremony full of love!

Mr. Jackson did an amazing job on our ceremony. He worked with us beforehand to get to know us and what we were looking for and honored those wishes completely. Our ceremony was funny, thoughtful and truly special. If I were to do it again, I would choose him every time. He guided us and calmed us and we are forever grateful. Thank you again and I highly recommend! ❤️❤️❤️

Worth every dollar

Words cannot describe how happy we are with CJ (Charles) I truly don’t believe that our ceremony would’ve gone as good as it did without him.

From the moment I called him he was kind professional and genuinely had an interest in us. This is certainly a man who loves love.

He was always available when we try to reach him. And didn’t make me feel ignorant or stupid when I didn’t know how something went.

My family also loved him. A noteworthy moment was when he spoke to my grandfather, whose first language is Spanish I made him feel welcome with some conversation.

Thank you so much, CJ for being part of our big day I wish you lots of success in future weddings

Thankful for Minister Jackson (CJ)!

Minister Jackson (CJ) helped me pull off a surprise elopement for my husband, and it could not have been more perfect! From the moment I contacted him to inquire about services and gave him the details of what I wanted, he made me feel comfortable and even provided location recommendations. Although he had another wedding later in the day, he was still able to show up for us and be fully present in the moment.

The words he spoke during our elopement ceremony was sincere and heartfelt. My husband and I could not have chosen a better officiant to marry us. We are sincerely thankful and grateful for CJ!
