Perfect Ceremony!

Thank you so much to Pastor Jay for officiating our wedding! It was the best day, and he just added to it. The ceremony he performed was everything we could have imagined, and more, without it being lengthy and drawn out. We received so many compliments on the service. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you! If you are looking for someone to officiate your wedding- you cannot go wrong with Pastor Jay!

Wedding Ceremony

My husband and I had the privilege of Jay marrying us in August. He was very professional, yet personal. He made the whole experience intimate and memorable. I really loved that he met with us before to get to know us. He then used what he learned to make our ceremony personal. I would definitely recommend him!

Look no further!!

Jay was everything we could have asked for in a wedding officiant during this crazy time. He is very welcoming, and spent the time to learn who we were as a couple and our relationship prior to the wedding. The pre-ceremony meeting was a wonderful experience and Jay explained everything thoroughly. We also enjoyed the pre wedding exercises he wanted us to complete. We had a number of family/friends who are tying the knot in the future ask us for Jay's information. He was the perfect fit for our special day.

Excellent experience!

We hired Jay of YourBlessedLife for our wedding ceremony at the Marquardt Ranch. He performed a wonderful service and made sure to get to know us ahead of time to give everything a personal touch. He conducts himself with the utmost professionalism but is also totally approachable and friendly. I am very happy we made him part of our wedding!

Made us feel at ease and very professional

Jay went above and beyond to make us comfortable and at ease in every step of the way. My husband is very shy natured but Jay made sure everything will go smoothly and also made sure that we were taken care of since weddings can be overwhelming. We were very happy and satisfied with his services and could not be happier with our choice. Would highly recommend :)

Pastor Jay was wonderful to work with and we were so delighted to have him as an officiant at our wedding. From day one when we met with Pastor Jay my husband and I felt connected which I feel is important. We participated in coaching sessions before the big day and it was great. We spent time evaluating the meaning of marriage and reviewing different traits about each other that we value. Pastor Jay worked as a guide for us into finding the deeper meaning of what marriage is all about. The ceremony was so lovely and we received so many compliments from family and friends on how beautiful everything was.

For our ceremony we decided to have two wedding traditions which were the unity candles and a wine box. Pastor Jay explained them perfectly to our guests during the ceremony and I feel this made everyone feel so much more connected to us. Pastor Jay did a fantastic job and we are so happy we had him be a part of such a special day for us. Everything was perfect!

Thank you so much Pastor Jay!

We got everything we wanted and more! What an incredible day. Thank you Jay! During our planning stages, my now husband and I talked about how we wanted someone giving us a blessing over and towards our marriage. We wanted someone who was deeply rooted in their faith. We looked around websites and even had people offer to 'just get ordained and do it for us', but that's not what you want for your wedding. Especially if God is part of your relationship. Jay was/is exceptional. He became invested in learning who we are individually and together and was dedicated to making our special day perfectly tailored to our needs. We are so grateful. Thank you so much.

Okay, I know Jay values honesty. Be ready for a lengthy review, because I have a lot to say. My only regret is this review box has a character limit.

I passed over Jay at first. Why? Because I am a little jaded and assumed the worst. He has perfect reviews from dozens of people, podcasts, an upcoming book. I was afraid he was one of those guys you see on TV healing miracles with paid testimonials and asking for donations.

I was completely, utterly, 100% wrong. He has outstanding reviews because he truly deserves them.

I immediately felt like this guy was an old friend. I’m more spiritual than religious, but Jay accepted me without hesitation. He took his time talking to us, gave premarital counseling sessions, and must have taken extensive notes because the wedding was performed like we had been friends for years. It was well-spoken with bits and pieces of info we had shared in our previous discussions.

Later, we started his marriage coaching program. This program is meant to help couples be prepared to face life together, for better and the inevitable worse. He wrangles our separate thoughts into cohesive discussions. He shares his own previous trials in life and marriage. He never watches the clock or rushes through the session. He genuinely wants to help and overcome the “Men are From Mars and Women are From Venus” conundrum. His price is very reasonable and the service is priceless. I truly think if we didn’t live in a world where you can’t survive without money, he’d do it for free.

This is a guy that we would hang out with, have dinner with, invite over to a BBQ. He’s a family man, a father, a husband, a friend, a man of God, and many more.

If every married couple, newlywed or married for 20 years, worked with him or someone else his zeal, the divorce rate would be slashed in half or more.

His podcasts are awesome, too, by the way. Whether you're married or not, go listen!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
