Hire this man!

We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant. George had the perfect blend of humorous and thoughtful moments during our ceremony. He accommodated our special requests without any hesitation. He’s a great public speaker and so many of our guests commented on how wonderful of a job he did. We highly recommend George for your big day!

Professional, Organized & Articulate - The BEST

George was incredible.

He took his time and patience’s with my and my fiancée. We didn’t want something cookie cutter, we wanted something that touched traditional roots so our visiting family would feel like a part of our celebration, but also included a very personal touch.

He came on time, prepared, and well dressed.

Couldn’t ask for anything more!
