Jerry was the best marriage officiant we could of ask for on our wedding day, he was caring, loving, and entertaining. He is also responsive and on time and everything went smoothly and I would recommend him to my friends for their wedding!Father Jerry Bellamy's reply:
J Ln and G: Thank you for your comments. Meeting both of you and planning every detail of your ceremony, was a joy. You brought together two families of very different cultural backgrounds. Your love is magnetic. Our ceremony took place at the Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel, a fitting beautiful background for you. Come to Santa Barbara for a visit please. Father Jerry -

Nadine J. Married on 04/22/2022Wonderful unique experience!
Father Bellamy was a thrill to work with! One of the most stressful parts of a wedding is working with your vendors, he was not that at all. He was very easy to work with and so responsive! He made our ceremony so unique. We live in Orange County and our wedding was in Santa Barbara so logistics were stressful enough but he made the ceremony part the least stressful and most unique! All our guests raved about our ceremony and said how they loved Father Bellamy.Father Jerry Bellamy's reply:
Nadine and Todd: Thajk you for sharing your thoughts. Really, everyone came from so many places to celebrate your wedding at the Hilton Santa Barbara. Before, during and after your ceremony, all of your guests, all ages, were so ready for your celebration. Congratulations. Remember, Santa Barbara is now your "home away from home." In 40 years from now, you will return and remember every second of your day. Father Jerry -

Excellent and Beautiful Service!
Father Jerry was professional and easy to work with. He helped us plan our ceremony to fit with what we envisioned as well as provided excellent advice. During that day he was patient and funny making our wedding ceremony exactly what we imagined. He traveled to our venue in Hemet CA and officiated a wedding ceremony that exceeded our expectations. -

Grateful! highly recommend Father Jerry.
We couldn’t thank Father Jerry enough for being a big part of our special day. My husband and I didn’t know where to begin. He was our guide, a mentor, and coordinator. He took time to get to know us and made sure we would be happy the day of . He was a great help throughout the whole process. Father Jerry made our ceremony memorable. It was heartfelt and our guests also loved his sense of humor. Also, a big plus he is bilingual!. We received so many compliments on our ceremony. Thank you Father Jerry!.

Father Jerry was what we wanted and more. He made it exciting and fun, joked and didn’t allow it to be awkward, and that is especially hard since that’s me naturally😂.

Brandon S. Married on 10/22/2021The perfect ceremony
Having Father Jerry officiate our ceremony was one of the best decisions we made regarding our wedding. We met with him beforehand to plan the ceremony and he made it as easy and stress-free as possible. He is also a great, light-hearted, and funny person that is awesome to spend time with. Highly recommend!Father Jerry Bellamy's reply:
Brandon and Sonia - your wedding last evening, the two of you standing on the rough cliffs, overlooking the ocean far below, was really magical. It was just the three of us - wind blown, eyes absorbing the beauty around us, reflecting your love for each other. A gift . . . Father Jerry -

Rina S. Married on 10/01/2021Profoundly happy with Father Jerry
Father Jerry is exactly what you need if you are looking to please the masses and deliver an impeccable ceremony. We could not get married through the church, but Father Jerry came out, dressed to impress in his robes, and married us off using humor, intellect, and personality. He appeased Catholics, Christians, and Atheists' alike. We have had a lot of praise from our audience asking how we found him and that they thoroughly enjoyed the ceremony. Overall, we wouldn't have wanted anyone else to conduct our ceremony, and we definitely recommend him to perform yours.Father Jerry Bellamy's reply:
Rina and Bryan: Well, I have performed many weddings at the Sherwood Country Club, but the two of you, managed to make it into an even more magical location. You brought together your two cultures, traditions, and personalities, into a vibrant ceremony. Everyone was "alive" and celebrating. It all reflected the two of you. Father Jerry -
![Dan]()
Dan M. Married on 09/30/2021Only the best
Father Jerry was absolutely amazing and not only exceeded our expectations but was a perfect fit for my wife and I. My wife and I had an interfaith marriage and Father Jerry was very good at not only accommodating aspects of both of our religions to incorporate into our ceremony but he also made fantastic recommendations and additions to the ceremony. Also, father Jerry took the time to get to know us and what we were looking for from a ceremony on our special day. Furthermore, he made excellent recommendations to make our ceremony much more intimate and special. He was charming, charismatic and touching, our guests raved about how special our ceremony was. Above all else he was easy to work with and made everything simple and stress free. We couldn't have asked for a better and more loving individual to join my wife and I in marriage. Many thanks to Father Jerry.Father Jerry Bellamy's reply:
Dan and Cat: It was wonderful to meet, plan and then celebrate together. In addition to most of the guests being surfers, the Jewish and Catholic traditions came together to form a seamless celebration. Did you know that, in any town, the best friends are always the Jewish Rabbi and the Catholic Priest..... God is good. See you on the beach in Santa Barbara . . . . Father Jerry -

![Stephanie]()
Stephanie C. Married on 09/10/2021Touching Ceremony, Thoughtful Officiant
We had a fantastic time working with Father Bellemy. His guidance is what made our ceremony so special. He was very open to customizing the ceremony to us, while still keeping it traditional. Our ceremony was incredibly heartfelt, so many guests complimented us on the ceremony and many stated they were brought to tears. We were so happy to have found Father Jerry!Father Jerry Bellamy's reply:
Stephanie and Nick: Seriously, it was so easy to work with both of you to "find your ceremony that was hiding within your relationship." Our ceremony was at the Montalvo Arts Center in Saratoga. I have never seen it look better. There were so many guests and family members of so many different religious backgrounds. It was a joy to be included in your ceremony. Father Jerry Bellamy -

Shahir M. Married on 09/04/2021Excellent Ceremony!!!
Father Bellamy exceeded our expectations! He is so nice and easy to work with, but also led the most beautiful and light-hearted ceremony. I had multiple people come up to me after the event and say "wedding ceremonies are usually boring, but your priest really kept us awake and listening!" He was really the perfect addition to our wedding, and we so grateful to have had his special touch. I couldn't recommend him highly enough to others! :)Father Jerry Bellamy's reply:
Shahir and Athina, what a beautiful blending of cultures and spirits in your ceremony, in such a beautiful back yard. You can tell that your neighbors spent months of preparation for you. You even hand squeezed 100 oranges for the reception . . . Let's stay in touch. Father Jerry -
![Kirsten]()
Kirsten Married on 08/23/2021Outstanding, Personable, Simply the Best!
Father Jerry was an obvious choice after meeting and discussing our ideas (we didn't have many thoughts other than knowing we wanted a semi Catholic ceremony). Father Jerry helped us design the ceremony from start to finish with such attention to detail and the most personable touches for such a special day. We truly couldn't have imagined a more perfect ceremony, our family and friends were blown away with the words, love and laughter Father Jerry brought! We are still talking about how perfect it was! Thank you Father Jerry for helping facilitate the best ceremony, and really setting our future off on the right foot!Father Jerry Bellamy's reply:
Kirsten and Dixon - what a beautiful day we had in the little town of Morgan Hill, on a beautiful winery. You made it a perfect afternoonb and evening for everyone and each other. I look forward to seeing you at other weddings for your friends and family members. Father Jerry 805-687-4248 -

Mary-Anne Married on 08/15/2021
Best Officiant You'll Ever Have
Father Jerry made our ceremony amazing. All the guests loved him and the message he gave on our wedding day. From beginning to end, working with Father Jerry was so easy. We didn't know what we wanted for our ceremony at first, but after doing our meeting he was able to help us with ideas as well as formulate a whole ceremony plan detailing every moment. He mails in everything after the ceremony so you don't have to think about anything else on your wedding day. It's only been 10 days since we've been married, but we just received our certificates in the mail already! He is prompt and knows what he's doing. You can trust this man to make your wedding dream come into reality. I recommend him to anyone getting married. He's worth every penny! thanks again Father Jerry for everything!Father Jerry Bellamy's reply:
Mary-Anne and Anthony: What a great ceremony you planned. I drove about 12 hours that day, to celebrate your ceremony, and it was worth every mile of it. One of the staff at the Golden Gate Park Shakespeare Garden, told me that your decorations and flowers were the most beautiful he had ever seen. Your family was so happy that we were able to celebrate the VEIL CORD COINS traditional elements. Be sure to come back to Santa Barbara for a visit again. Father Jerry -

Matt N. Married on 07/23/2021Great in every way
Father Bellamy helped in so many ways. Our original wedding plan had to be modified due to Covid and he was so helpful and full of great ideas. When we finally got to have our wedding he did a great job. He is so full of life, and really understands love.Father Jerry Bellamy's reply:
Matt and Megan, what a beautiful ceremony you helped me bput together. So many of your guests made the long trip from Fresno to Santa Barbara to celebrate you. I had a chance to speak to so many of them. Some came from Germany. Remember that Santa Barbara is now "your town". Always come home to visit. -

Ana Married on 07/03/2021Look no further Father Jerry is the BEST!!!!
Father Jerry is the absolute best! He helped us plan the ceremony from beginning to ends, with loads of laughs in between. He made sure both of our religious traditions were included. Our ceremony was memorable, thanks to him. He gave us a moment to look out to our guest during the ceremony and what we saw will forever be in our hearts. Our guest left the ceremony with smiles on their faces thanks to Father Jerry. To Father Jerry we say, thank you! Thank you for not only blessing our marriage but being part of it. It was a true honor having you there.
