Amazing to work with!

We first experienced Charles at a friend’s ceremony and were immediately impressed. When we got engaged, we didn’t hesitate to secure him as our officiant. Working with Charles exceeded our expectations in every way. He was exceptionally thorough during our meetings, clearly communicated what to expect, and brought genuine enthusiasm to every interaction. When we told our wedding coordinator we’d already chosen our officiant, her immediate excitement upon hearing Charles’s name told us everything we needed to know. What truly sets Charles apart is his ability to make you feel valued and heard. It’s clear he takes genuine pride in his work and cares deeply about creating a meaningful ceremony. He was an absolute pleasure to work with, and we’d recommend him without hesitation.

Highly Recommend! Exceptional Service and an Even Better Person!

If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! From the very beginning, our Mr. Charles Jackson (CJ) went above and beyond anything we expected. He traveled to be a part of our special day, and he wasn’t just there to perform the ceremony. He was there to help with anything we needed. No matter what came up, he was always willing to lend a hand with a smile.

Our ceremony was beautiful, heartfelt, and exactly what we envisioned. His professionalism, kindness, and calming presence made such a difference on one of the biggest days of our lives.

By the end of the experience, we didn’t just feel like we had hired an officiant. We felt like we had gained a genuine friend. That says a lot about the kind of person he is.

We are beyond grateful for everything he did and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for someone who truly cares about making your wedding day perfect. Thank you for being such an important part of our forever!

The West Side Love Story

As the bride’s sister, I had the opportunity to see firsthand how amazing Charles Jackson was throughout the entire wedding process. From the moment we asked him to officiate, he was fully invested. He scheduled an initial call with the couple, walked them through what to expect, and shared thoughtful details that made the planning process so much easier.
On the wedding day, Charles was professional, engaging, and genuine. He kept the guests involved while making the ceremony feel incredibly intimate between my sister and her husband, even with a large crowd. He was also very mindful of the photographers and videographers, ensuring those once-in-a-lifetime moments were beautifully captured.
Charles didn’t just officiate a ceremony—he created an unforgettable experience. Our family is so grateful for the care, passion, and excellence he brought to such a special day. I would highly recommend him to any couple looking for an exceptional officiant.

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!
