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.

The best choice

Scott is the best! My husband and I did premarital counselling with him, and he officiated our wedding. I would highly recommend Scott for counselling sessions. First of all, going to counselling or therapy doesn’t mean anything is wrong or isn’t working it means that you care. You care for and love your person so much that you’d want to take time and give each other a safe space to explore all subjects of life. And Scott helps you with that, he has a variety of subjects that he’ll help you discuss with your partner and add a perspective that you might not have even considered. All of us have unique minds and how we think of things, so it’s no wonder that someone else, even the one closest to you will think about things a little differently than you, and that’s ok. Even when it gets you confused or frustrated at times, Scott has great tools that will help you communicate better and even understand each other at a deeper level. He takes the time to get to know you and your partners love story, how you met, what your relationship is like and what you want your future to be. There are some subjects that come up that are important to think about and consider before you get married.
As an officiant Scott was wonderful, and like I mentioned before, he gets to know you. Whether you do counselling with him or not, he wants to speak with you and know your love story and this plays an intricate part of how he’ll officiate your wedding. He is very charismatic and will holds your guest’s attention, he’s mindful of photographers and also your personal touch to the ceremony. After our ceremony, my husband and I were approached by several guests that told us how great Scott was and that he did an amazing job! It made us feel so good that for the most important part of the day our guest enjoyed themselves.

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!
