How did you get started doing this type of work?
Graduated from Bible School and started traveling as a minister; shortly after, I became ordained as a pastor at my home church in 2010. After a few years of counseling with couples & developing a passion for marriage, I became licensed through the state of Ohio in 2014, and since then have counseled and married several couples in Ohio.

What types of customers have you worked with?
I have worked with several customers with large weddings, Small weddings, elopements, foreign marriages, and even some special requests. It’s important to realize that no wedding ceremony is written in stone, and when working with a flexible officiant and coordinator, you can have your event exactly the way you would like it to be!

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?
Recently, I was able to do a short-notice wedding for a couple who had a hard time finding an officiant. The ceremony was put together quickly, yet turned out to be a beautiful outdoor wedding regardless... the bride & groom were very pleased with the turnout, specifically my punctuality & comfort towards them in the process at a last-minute call. I am blessed to be a part of making each couple's dream come true, even in the midst of the stress of preparing such an important and big event!

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Ensure the Professional can coordinate with your vision for the wedding, whether large or small & and communicate that vision clearly. Make sure you know, and the minister knows what you want. :)

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?
Will the client need help with their vows and ceremony coordination & what type of vows does the client want i.e., personal, traditional, or special request.
