Rev. Jay McNeal was an absolute rock star from start to finish. From our first meeting, he wanted to understand us as individuals and a s a couple and worked very hard to create a ceremony which reflected the union into which we were entering. The result was a marriage ceremony which was unique, incredibly special, and which blew away both us and our guests. He was open to incorporating innovative ceremonial ideas into our service (such as hand wrapping and ring warming), and was adept at writing a service which reflected our unique combination of spirituality and religious beliefs. He met with us as often as needed, was responsive each time we contacted him, and was completely dedicated to ensuring that our marriage was a beautiful experience. It was also a beautiful experience to work with HIM! Finally, he did an amazing job at corralling all of our wedding party to conduct an efficient and well structured rehearsal. He even bonded with our flower girls and ring bearer to ensure that they would walk down the aisle to him. I cannot offer a higher recommendation of Rev. Jay, and would strongly recommend him to any couple who wants a quality, individualized, and memorable ceremony. You will not find a better officiant anywhere. Oh, and one more thing -- his voice is perfect for public speaking. He isn't overly loud, but neither is he too quiet. He uses great emphasis and knows just when to throw in humor. I know this sounds superficial, but, when you consider that your guests will be listening to your officiant speak for at least 20 minutes straight, the verbal quality and tone is important!!! I am not generally effusive with reviews, but, Rev. Jay was an absolutely incredible provider, and we cannot say enough about him.
