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!

Empathetic and intelligent officiating

It seems like George was made to officiate. He is natural and comfortable in front of any crowd, so it was easy for him to engage our guests. But he also made such great effort to learn about me and my partner. He knows how special a wedding day is for everyone. So he will make it a point to deliver a meaningful and personal message for you. George understands the importance of officiating and for that reason you shouldn’t hesitate to work with him!

Best officiant ever for our dream wedding!

George officiated our wedding and it was the most perfect ceremony I could’ve asked for! We had 250 guests at our wedding but the way he conducted the ceremony made it feel very personal to everyone there. Having a personable, confident, and good public speaking officiant was the most important thing to me, and George did the most amazing job. Thank you again!
