He did exactly what I asked for throughout the ceremony. He was very calm and compassionate the ceremony flowed perfectly.

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!
Weddings by Gerard's reply:
From the first meeting with you and your family at that Starbucks, through the final "I do", everyone made me feel a part of the family. I don't always get that "family" feel from everyone, but I certainly felt it you and your family. So glad everything worked out to your satisfaction. I wish you both have a happy life together.

Gerard had a natural gift for making everyone feel comfortable.
Gerard was so responsive during our year of engagement. We live in NY so we had zoomed but hadn’t met in person until the rehearsal. Gerard has the kind of personality that makes you feel like you’ve always known him. Gerard had a natural gift for making everyone feel comfortable. Our family and friends loved him. They actually thought that my husband and I knew him because we had such great chemistry. Gerard is funny, sweet, caring and genuinely good at what he does. When it came down to the last month of the wedding I sent him some ideas that I had for the ceremony and he sent me a script that I was able to add and make changes to. Very easy!
Weddings by Gerard's reply:
Angelina and Christopher: What a beautiful and touching tribute. I appreciate it very much. I meet a lot of couples, and I don't always make the kind of connection I feel I made with Ya'll. It was a crazy two days, and I loved every minute of it. It was certainly a pleasure getting to know your parents, family and friends. Everyone was so nice to me. My prayer is for you both to have a long and fruitful life and many blessings to come.

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 !

AMAZING experience!
Gerard was such a pleasure to work with. He took the time to get to know my husband and I and make the ceremony everything we dreamed of and catered to our specific needs. He was very responsive to us and we would recommend to anyone! We can’t say enough good things about him! He also was able to recommend other venders for us, and we were SO appreciative for the recommendation he gave us!

Michelle and Nick: It was such a pleasure working with you both. Happy that your Photographer (David) worked out as well. Your venue was beautiful, and I enjoyed meeting your family and friends.

Perfect Night!
Gerard was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was so kind and helpful. He took his time and made sure our special night was just as how we had imagined it would be. We wanted short and sweet and he delivered. He met us out at our beach location, read our nuptials, and helped to make it a very magical night. He even stayed and took a few pictures for us. Then he handled all of our paperwork so we didn’t have to bother with it. I would highly recommend Gerard for your wedding ceremony!!

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!
Weddings by Gerard's reply:
Elsa & Joseph. It was my pleasure to provide the best possible officiating service for your ceremony. Ya'll were easy to work with and very clear about what you wanted in the service. I always like that when a bride and groom know what they want. Thanks for the kind words. I wish for you blessings and happiness in your years together. God Bless.

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!
Weddings by Gerard's reply:
Thank you Sophia for the kind words. You and Dylan were easy to work with and I was hoping everything met your standards. I hold a special place in my heart for young couples starting out in what seems like an uphill battle in the world right now. I wish you peace, love and joy in the years to come.

Amazing and Stress Free
From the first time I called him, he was nothing but professional. He catered to my needs, and eased my stress. He was punctual and communicated with me the whole time. He even helped by giving advice and taking care of the license for me. Long story short, I had to go to a different county to get my license. I thought I was going to have to make that long drive the next day to drop it off. But at the rehearsal, I handed it to him and he said he will take care of it from there. It was nice to have something lifted off of my plate. If I ever get married again, I'll definitely be calling him. Lol
