About

It would be an honor to be your personal officiant for your special day. Your ceremony can be traditional, contemporary, Christian, interfaith, or a blend of styles. I will work with you to design a ceremony that represents the best of who you are as a couple. Your first consultation is always free of charge. Please contact me so that we can discuss your vision for your big day!

West Michigan Ceremony supports AYA Youth Collective. AYA creates safe spaces for youth in crisis to belong, be themselves and build a future (ayayouth.org). Ten percent of the revenue of WMC is donated to support AYA. Please consider adding AYA or a charity of your choice to your wedding registry.

Wonderful Officiant and a Great Guy

We worked with Jay for man many months, plenty of meetings and communications were exchanged. We went through many meetings regarding our relationship and the issues we had and the best possible paths to solve them. I appreciate Jays kind words and words of encouragement throughout the whole process. He showed up very early on the day of and provided a flawless speech that myself and the bride very much enjoyed. We are glad we chose Jay to be apart of our special day.

The best ever!

Do you want your friends and family to rave about your wedding officiant for months to come? Pastor Jay is your guy. He was honestly the backbone of our entire wedding, and I cannot recommend his services enough. He is kind, incredibly patient, funny, and a joy to be around. He helped us out in so many different ways I can't even count them, but more than anything he felt like a friend when we got to our wedding day, and he made our day feel unique and special. Pastor Jay rocks!!
