Over-the_top AMAZING!! Jay is the BEST 😇
We were so thrilled that Jay Bowman was available to marry us on the beach last Saturday. He met with us over coffee a couple of months ago and was super helpful with suggestions about our vows, etc. Jay has this amazing ability to put everyone at ease and to make you feel like you are the most important couple on the planet. His ceremony was powerful, personal, and meaningful to us as well as our guests.

Jay was absolutely amazing on our wedding day! He incorporated everything we asked for in our ceremony and did it beautifully. He completely captured our vision of an easy going ceremony while making us laugh and cry along the way. From the moment we met Jay he made us feel like family. We wouldn’t have wanted anyone else standing beside us for our perfect day!

Our Wedding
Our wedding was short-notice, just Reverend Jay, us, our photographer and our realtor! Our ceremony was simple, but honest and fun. We laughed, and cried, had a very meaningful ceremony, shared our vows, kissed, and waved at some people watching. Jay put together exactly what we were hoping for...a ceremony that was simple, sincere and real. Thank you Jay, we’ll see you in a few years to renew our vows!

Rev. Jay Bowman encompasses everything you could ask for in a wedding officiant. We consider Jay to be the gold standard! The ceremony that he performs will resonate with the Bride, Groom, family and guests throughout the years to follow.
As we work many of the caters on the Outer Banks are blessed to work with so many different vendors. Rev Jay Bowman is most definitely one of the best (if not the best) wedding officiants on the whole OBX. He not only makes your day one of a kind, he also makes you feel like he is part of the family!! We have and always will refer Rev Jay Bowman as the first pick for officiants!
Rev. Jay does a top notch job. We always enjoy having him out to Festival Park
