About

As an ordained minister I perform religious ceremonies, non-religious ceremonies and everything in between. I've had the pleasure of officiating hundreds of weddings over the past 15 years including backyard weddings, formal church weddings, casual beach weddings, Disney weddings, Vegas weddings...even surprise weddings. I love being a part of this special day!

I'm a native Floridian and in my dream world, I live on the beach in Southern California as a pro surfer. In real life, I live in the city of Tampa where I never actually surf.

Jason gave a Profound, Philosophical, Theological, and Emotional delivery as our officiant.

Jason is sincere, genuine and compassionate. I truly feel like his depth of knowledge for scripture and literature made our wedding ceremony so so so special to everyone who attended. I will remember how beautifully led that delivery was for the rest of my life. Please book Jason for your wedding, you will think of him as the most valuable person and vendor on your special day. Jason made effort to meet us the night before for our rehearsal as well. As I, the bride, planned most of the day on my own with only a day of coordinator, Jason was the glue to our entire wedding party.

Perfect Officiant For Our Perfect Day

We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant. From the beginning, he was professional, kind, and genuinely dedicated to making our ceremony perfect. His words truly came from the heart, which made the ceremony even more meaningful. We received so many compliments from our guests and many even asked for his information! He truly made our day unforgettable :)

Jason Nailed It!!!!

Jason was an absolute dream to work with. He was incredibly kind, professional, and knowledgeable. He helped guide us through the process, cultivating our wedding vows and helping narrow down a few bible quotes. I couldn’t recommend him more! Thank you SO much Jason!!!!

Jason was wonderful!

Jason was incredible and I can't recommend him highly enough. he made my fiancé and I feel at ease during our rehearsal and our wedding. Although it was our first time meeting Jason, he felt like an old friend and had a calming comforting energy about him. He guided us through every step of the process and our ceremony was absolutely beautiful. He spoke about us like he's known us forever and many points in his ceremony really hit the nail on the head with our relationship. He even added some things and that he heard us speak about in our own written vows. He made us feel comfortable in one of the most nerve wracking moments of our lives. We both felt like we could lean on Jason during this time, he kept things lighthearted, and we couldn't have asked for a better officiant. Highly highly recommend him!!!

Jason is wonderful!

Jason was an absolute pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend him as an officiant! He met with me and my husband ahead of our wedding for coffee and really took the time to get to know us. We didn’t write our own vows - and Jason recommended us to do a wine box ceremony which I loved. Also his words were so beautiful and there was not a dry eye at our ceremony. Thank you again, Jason!

The best! Hire him!

Jason met with us before the wedding to get to know us and get a feel for what we were looking for regarding officiant services for our wedding. He was a perfect fit! He was so kind, personable and professional. We loved working with him and highly recommend to other couples. He helped us feel calm leading up to the day of our wedding and for sure helped us feel centered and relaxed (as much as one can be lol) on our wedding day. Several people came up to us at our wedding reception and remarked how much they enjoyed what he shared during our ceremony. Thank you, Jason for making everything come together for our ceremony. We are very appreciative of you 😊

Incredible Experience

We chose Jason as our officiant, and are thrilled with our decision! Jason took the time to meet with us well before the wedding day, answered all of our questions, and provided all of the information we needed to prep. As for the wedding weekend, Jason definitely calmed our nerves as we rehearsed and got ready for the ceremony. Something we loved about Jason is how natural he is! He was able to make our ceremony personal and feel as if we have known him for years. We are thankful for this experience and would recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant who will guide you through the entire process and will work with you to create a memorable ceremony.
