About this vendor

Weddings and Wellness is a Tampa, Florida-based company providing wedding officiant and counseling services. I have a passion for helping couples have a special wedding day. All couples bring their own personalities and creative ideas to make their wedding distinctively their own. The wedding ceremony is more than a rigid formality. I want you to have an incredible ceremony to look back on. Let’s treat your guests to a passionate and inspiring journey of your authentic love story with the perfect balance of tenderness and whimsy. You and your fiancé can relive a romantic time capsule of your journey toward this day. We’ll laugh, cheer and even allow ourselves the freedom to shed some tears. There is peace of mind when working with someone fully invested in your day who wants the very best for you. Someone who will help create the space that will take away the nerves and allow you and your best friend the freedom to be you. Let’s be humans having a genuine human experience!

Services Offered

Weddings and Wellness has experience working with the top-rated wedding vendors in the area, and I am more than happy to provide guidance that extends beyond your ceremony. By trusting us with your day, you are going to get The Amazing Ceremony of your dreams and much, much more. What if you had someone in your corner, just a phone call away, to help you get the most out of this journey? What if I told you we could work together to find the best ways to mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually enjoy this experience? We all deserve a passionate and meaningful marriage and life. Let me help you take control of this chapter to live each day with joy and fulfillment and allow yourself to be your best version. It takes some practice, passion, and courage to have that desire. If you're reading this, I believe you have it in you, so let's work together to bring it out.


Relationship Booster

I believe all couples should go through some coaching, whether it be before or after their wedding. The current statistics are about 50 percent of marriages will fail. But fear not, you are the brave ones, the romantics, you deserve a passionate and meaningful marriage. Living each day with joy and fulfillment takes some practice, and when you grow together, you will transform into the people you are destined to be. It doesn't matter if you have been together for two months or ten years. I can help you with tips and tricks to have a deeper relationship as well as determine behaviors you may want to change. Couples can get there in many different ways, and I would like to help you on that journey.


Bride/Groom Anxiety Reliever

This package was created to help couples to manage the stress and anxiety of the wedding process. It gives you a chance to check in and get some perspective. When your worries are taking over, I can help you find solutions. We can brainstorm ways to deal with friends and family who are creating problems, help your wedding party to take on some of the work, and we can help you to find ways to melt away the excess stresses to find your center. Communication and healthy boundaries enable you to always feel in control of your special day and your relationships. Your mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health is a priority if you want to get the most out of your wedding day. Together, we identify what’s causing the most stress and come up with tailored solutions to help you deal with it. Topics include:

  • Tools for dealing with wedding anxiety

  • Couple's tune-up ( "check-in" on their relationship)

  • Solving specific wedding-related problems

  • Check-in with your spiritual center

  • Giving you the communication tools you need to speak effectively with family, friends, and vendors

  • Prioritizing what’s most important to you in the planning process and coming up with a plan to put your priorities first

  • Coaching with your partner, family members, or wedding party to resolve conflict and help everyone get on the same page

  • Health and fitness goals to give you that special breathtaking glow for your wedding day.

World’s Best Officiant

Scott was absolutely incredible as our officiant. We were originally torn between choosing him and going with a traditional pastor, but he ended up being the perfect choice. He crafted a ceremony script that felt completely personal and tailored to exactly what we wanted. It was thoughtful, meaningful, and truly felt like us.

We also got to know him through our premarital sessions beforehand, which were invaluable. They helped prepare us for marriage and made us feel comfortable and connected with him before the wedding day.

On the wedding day, he may have been one of the best decisions I made during the entire planning process. The ceremony was the perfect balance of romantic, fun, and lighthearted. Since the wedding, we have gotten countless compliments from guests saying it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to, and Scott truly set the tone for that with such a beautiful ceremony.

He even stayed afterwards to make sure my husband and I were taken care of, grabbing us drinks, oysters, and checking in on nus during the reception. That level of care meant so much. We cannot recommend Scott enough.

From the moment we met him, his warmth, kindness, and positive energy made us feel completely at ease. He took the time to get to know us and created a ceremony that felt personal, meaningful, and truly reflected our love story.

On our wedding day, Scott delivered a beautiful ceremony that was heartfelt, engaging, and full of joy. He had the perfect balance of professionalism, humor, and sincerity, and his energy made the entire experience even more special.

Our guests loved him, and we received so many compliments about how wonderful he was. We are so grateful for the care and passion he brought to our ceremony and would highly recommend him to any couple looking for an unforgettable officiant!

Best Decision Ever

Every detail about our ceremony was crafted to perfection by Scott. The last thing I wanted was a stuffy and rigid ceremony, and he managed to take our story and tell it in an exquisite way which made people laugh and cry. His candor and professionalism made us feel comfortable and definitely helped with the nerves. Communication was flawless, and his preparation helped guide us in making the best choices for us. Would recommend over and over.!!

You will love working with Scott!

We are so grateful to have had Scott as part of our wedding day. From the very beginning, he took the time to truly get to know us and our story, which made the ceremony feel incredibly personal and meaningful. He met with us several times ahead of the wedding to ensure everything aligned with our vision, and he followed our requests beautifully. He also added just the right touch of humor, which made the ceremony feel warm, heartfelt, and uniquely “us.”

We felt such a strong connection that we invited him and his wife to join us at the reception—and we were so glad they could celebrate with us! It meant a lot to have someone officiate our ceremony who genuinely cared. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Outstanding. Highly recommend!

Scott was outstanding!! He was very professional and had a great sense of humor. He brought positive energy and relieved the stress planning the wedding, as well as during the ceremony. He was very organized, and knowledgeable. He made sure we (as the bride and groom) were prepared and had several great reminders that we overlooked. He helped layout our ceremony space to make it look perfect. Scott came up with creative ideas to personalize our destination wedding. The script he prepared for the wedding ceremony was far beyond what we expected. Scott perfectly outlined our love story while mixing in a great sense of humor. Also, without being asked he held the train of my dress while I grabbed food and brought us water throughout the hot Florida day. I highly recommend Scott for anyone looking for an officiant in the Tampa area.

Professional & high quality!

We worked with George at Weddings and Wellness and he did an excellent job officiating our ceremony! He met with us several times over Zoom and in person leading up to the big day to learn our story as a couple and ensure that the speech felt personal to us. He listened very carefully and understood what we wanted & needed. It all culminated in many happy tears and laughs from us, our families and all our guests. George was also very professional and a huge help in keeping us on schedule, ensuring we knew where to go/what to do, helped us write our own vows, etc. Thanks for everything, we will cherish the memories forever!
