About

It's hard typing an "About Us" when the fact of the matter, for me, it’s just NOT about me (or us)... It’s about YOU and what you envision in a perfect ceremony. I am very fortunate to have already met so many wonderful couples, their family and friends, and reuniting with some lifelong friends.

I welcome the opportunity to get to know who you are and what your vision for one of the most important days (moments) in time. I provide a service for people that is positive and uplifting. It is an honor to be a part of when two people publicly, vocally, legally, and emotionally profess their love and commitment to each other, their God, family, friends, and sometimes complete strangers. I enjoy being with people at their happiest and this "job" (NO WAY) is a great opportunity to live that and meet really wonderful people.

There are many options for getting married... you can go the church/temple/synagogue or you can go to the Courthouse... I see my service as meeting you halfway in between. Pick a place... whether along the many vast miles of pristine shore line of the Atlantic Coastal region in MD, DE, or VA, private resort/venue, the many scenic spots along the Chesapeake Bay region, private home, or paddling out at sunrise in the surf... wherever you can image, again, I welcome the opportunity. If you don't know where to start, well that's ok too! I have vast resources of experienced, professional, and reputable venues/vendors that can help achieve your expectations.

Thanks for reading!

Highly recommend Reverend Giz for his warm & kind personality

Reverend Giz had some a warm and friendly personality, and he helped to put my husband and I at ease. One of our guests even commented that they thought we had already known him before since we were so comfortable with him! He clearly loves what he does and he made both the rehearsal and the ceremony run smoothly! His sense or humor also was appreciated during such an emotional moment for my husband and I! We would highly recommend Reverend Giz for officiating your wedding!

Revered Gisriel officiated our beach ceremony on 8/15/15 and was an absolute treat. Jeffrey was incredibly accommodating, has an awesome sense of humor, and truly made our ceremony so special and heartfelt. We we're extremely happy that he was able to join us for our rehearsal as doing so made the big day go off without a hitch. He was more than willing to make any changes we asked of for our ceremony script and we were told there wasn't a dry eye in the house!! Rev Giz was an absolute pleasure to work with and we absolutely recommend him!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
