    Amazing job! Helpful and informative!

    Gerard was so nice and just very fitting to officiate us! When we first met him we knew we picked the right person for the job! My family got to meet him during the wedding and they all loved him! He worked with us on everything we wanted to be apart of our ceremony and made it super easy for us! Thank you so much!

    Gerard was awesome!

    Gerard was AWESOME! My wife and I are from PA so we did not have a church here in FL. We were looking for someone laid back and flexible...someone that could sprinkle in some religious aspects (for the parents/in-laws) while keeping the ceremony short and sweet (30 min or less). Gerard checked all of our boxes and was fantastic for what we wanted. Great quality, communication and experience! Thank you, Gerard!

    Thank you Gerard !!!

    Gerard married my husband and I on 9/16/2022! He was an absolute pleasure to work with. We originally planned on getting married at the courthouse but last minute decided to hire an officiant so that my family could be there. Gerard responded super quick and was so helpful with all the last minute planning. Couldn’t be happier with how the day turned out and so glad we hired Gerard !

    We're married!

    We met with Mr. Lorentz via zoom, a few days before our wedding. He explained the process, let us choose our reasons and basically guided us through the ceremony. At the ceremony, he had a cute certificate we could use to sign and later hang from our wall; since I'd mentioned to him we needed to have our witnesses sign our license, which we forgot to provide at the given time. Everything went according to plan and we're now happily married!

    You Want Gerard as Your Officiant

    Gerard officiated our wedding on 5/29. From planning to the day of the wedding, he was always available to answer any questions. He gave us such great recommendations for readings and ceremony flow. He is so kind and caring - he wants you to have the day you want and makes sure you have it! The ceremony was beautiful and one we will never forget.
    We highly recommend Gerard - he is an awesome person and an awesome officiant! He is flexible, responsible and a lot of fun!

    Couldn't have had a better officiant ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Due to covid, the pastor at our church wasn't able to be an officiant like we had originally planned, so we had to frantically search for someone who wasn't already booked for our date. Thank goodness Gerard was available! He was quick to write me back whenever I had questions and made sure to include our input when setting up the ceremony outline. He did a great job at the ceremony as well and I would recommend him to anyone searching for a officiant!

    Gerard is the best!

    Gerard was awesome! We found him on WeddingWire and we are so happy with our decision to have him officiate our wedding. He was very friendly, professional, and responsive. We loved his selection of ceremony readings we had to choose from!
    He’s the best! Thanks Gerard :)

    The Perfect Ceremony

    Gerard was amazing! He made the ceremony fun and made everyone feel at ease. Ever seen a movie where the bride was late? Well, story of my life. I got stuck in traffic and was late to my own wedding! But, Gerard waited patiently and still happily greeted me upon arrival and we had a perfect ceremony. I highly recommend Gerard for your ceremony, you will not regret it one bit! He’s patient, kind, and has a great sense of humor. We were blessed to have Gerard as part of our special day!

    Excellent service!

    Gerard was great!! We weren't able to meet with him in-person beforehand, but we were able to video chat with him. He provided recommendations on obtaining our marriage license in Florida and provided us with sample vows and readings for our ceremony. He was very easy to work with, I would highly recommend Gerard!

    Easy to work with

    Gerard was very responsive to texts, calls, and emails. We had a last minute change to the venue and he was perfectly fine with it. Price was EXTREMELY reasonable. Due to the pandemic and things that have happened throughout the year with us, Gerard has already agreed to renew our vows at our ceremony on our 1 year anniversary.

    Perfection

    Gerard was wonderful to work with! Our day could not have been any more perfect. He helped guide us through all of our options, making sure we hit the nail on the head with religious acknowledgements but also making our ceremony fit us as a couple. Well spoken and incredibly kind, we would recommend Gerard to anybody who is seeking an inclusive and detail oriented officiant.

    He was great

    Gerard was a fantastic officiant for our wedding! He went above expectations and helped with more then the actual vows. I was having trouble picking music and he had a huge verity as well as speakers for us to use. We are from Minnesota so it was a huge help and last minute for him but he was amazing and I would definitely recommend him to anyone and everyone!! Thank you so much Gerard!

    Gerard was wonderful!

    Gerard was wonderful from the moment we meant him. He was so easy to work with and very responsive. It was nice that he wanted to meet us in person to get to know us and understand what we were looking for. He gives very helpful ceremony options to help choose how you want your ceremony to be. He helped me make some ceremony decisions when I wasn't sure exactly what I wanted. I also really appreciated that he came to our rehearsal to run through it with us. It put my mind at ease for our wedding day. In addition he filed our marriage license for us. Gerard is experienced and he loves what he does which comes out in his work. Thank you Gerard for everything that you did to make our wedding day run smoothly. It was a pleasure to work with you.

    Best of the Best

    How do you write a review that would let others know how wonderful Gerard is? Let’s start with how smooth the process was and how amazing our Ceremony turned out with Gerard as our officiant. The communication was lightning fast, and the information provided made customizing our ceremony the easiest part of planning the wedding. Gerard was more than happy to incorporate a hand fasting into our ceremony and even dressed to the theme of our wedding, which was a Scottish Motorcycle theme. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. If you are looking to get married in Southwest Florida, Gerard is the best in town!
    Gerard, thanks again for making our special day perfect!

    Great Ceremony

    I loved working with Gerad he responds supper fast, faster than The FLash. He is very helpful in giving information you will need for your big day. We receive our marriage license less than a week Gerad had sent it out for us. Our Ceremony was just what we needed and wanted.
    Thank you Gerad

    Ps the only regret was he did not stay and celebrate with us..
