Jay Made Our Day Even Better

Jay was wonderful to work with. He truly cares about the couple and the quality of their relationship, and he was flexible in helping us create the exact ceremony we wanted for our day. On the wedding day, he was absolutely fantastic — helpful, fun, joyful, calming, and a great speaker. My family really enjoyed him, and so did my bride and I. Thank you Jay!

Incredible experience!

We could not have asked for a better officiant for our wedding other than Pastor Jay! He was so prepared, thoughtful, kind, considerate, professional, and just overall AMAZING throughout our entire time preparing for our wedding and the day of our wedding. Our ceremony was not only the perfect length but also perfectly captured who we are. We cannot recommend him enough and could not have had the same experience without him.

Are you interested?

Wonderful Officiant and a Great Guy

We worked with Jay for man many months, plenty of meetings and communications were exchanged. We went through many meetings regarding our relationship and the issues we had and the best possible paths to solve them. I appreciate Jays kind words and words of encouragement throughout the whole process. He showed up very early on the day of and provided a flawless speech that myself and the bride very much enjoyed. We are glad we chose Jay to be apart of our special day.

The best ever!

Do you want your friends and family to rave about your wedding officiant for months to come? Pastor Jay is your guy. He was honestly the backbone of our entire wedding, and I cannot recommend his services enough. He is kind, incredibly patient, funny, and a joy to be around. He helped us out in so many different ways I can't even count them, but more than anything he felt like a friend when we got to our wedding day, and he made our day feel unique and special. Pastor Jay rocks!!

Best Officiant EVER!

Pastor Jay was not only a JOY to work with, but a LIFESAVER! Jay was so much more than an officiant for my husband and I on our wedding day and throughout our planning journey. From the very beginning he took the time to ask and learn details of our day and lives that most officiants would not. Being an out of state couple, he worked so well with us to coordinate in-person or zoom meetups. Even more than all of this you guys, when Covid-19 threatened to ruin our dream wedding, Pastor Jay stepped up even more. He became our coordinator, MC and kept Brandon and I cool throughout the day. I cannot recommend him enough. If you are looking for the best guy to be a part of the most intimate part of your day (the ceremony) and MORE, Pastor Jay is your man.

Personable and flexible

I loved working with pastor Jay. He helped us think of things I otherwise wouldn’t have. He offers much more than being an officiant. He is open to all religions and ideas for your wedding day.

Conducted the ceremony and beyond!

He made everything way easier. Of course, unless you have had many weddings before, this won't be valuable to you, but for us, we truly appreciated his suggestions and ideas (even in real time during the ceremony. Awesome, professional and friendly! 100% recommend.

The Incredible Pastor Jay!

Pastor Jay exceeded any and all expectations we had when it came to an officiant for our special day. Not only was he extremely flexible, he followed through on every little detail that he promised that he would. We never encountered an issue on or leading up to our Wedding Day that Pastor Jay didn't handle for us, if he could! Truly amazing at what he does and it we could not have had a better Wedding Day without him!

Excellent wedding officiant

Pastor Jay did an amazing job officiating our wedding ceremony! He got to know us before the wedding, he listened to our needs and he personalized our ceremony. He is very responsive and great to work with! We would definitely reccomend him as a professional wedding officiant!

Amazing to work with

Jay was so great to work with. I like that we had a couple meetings before the wedding where he guided us through a couple report based on a questionnaire we filled out.
When it came to the ceremony, he worked with us to create a ceremony that was uniquely ours. We were able to use aspects from other ceremonies we found and liked, and were able to adjust and take out things we didn't like. He also had a list of questions he asked each of us separately before preparing the ceremony, so that he could get to know us and make the ceremony feel more personal. He was amazing to work with and I highly recommend him.

Pastor Jay will make you ceremony far from ordinary...

Pastor Jay exceeded all of my expectations! He was available for us every step of the way. From the moment my husband and I met Jay we were put at ease, the ceremony he preformed for us was individualized and simply perfect. Jay goes above and beyond the call of duty, throughout taking pictures he patiently stood in the cold in case we needed anything, from holding my bouquet to fixing my train even giving up his jacket because I was shivering. I cannot express how lucky I was to have had him officiate my wedding. The one comment so many of our family and friends mentioned was that Pastor Jay did an excellent job. Do yourself a favor and hire him, you will have the most memorable wedding ceremony imaginable.

Jay did an amazing job for us. We had contacted him early on just to make sure that we were going to have enough time to get everything done. He met with us multiple times, gave us great ideas, and even though we finished everything a couple of months before the wedding - he was sure to continue to follow up with us. He always made it known that if we needed help with anything or just someone to talk to that he was there. Highly recommended. Thanks again!

Pastor Jay was the glue to our whole ceremony and wedding prep. We chose him after we loved the ceremony he did for close friends. Although my husband and I lived in California at the time, he was very flexible with meeting us over Skype for our first visit. He is so laidback, professional, adaptable to all situations and fun - we knew he was our guy! He was the only person who was the constant reminder during the whole planning process (which was two years for us) that our marriage was about the love and relationship we had built and how we are going to continue to build on that through the years. He was always quick to respond on any questions we had whether it related to ceremony questions or even how to change my name or get our marriage license. On wedding day, he went above and beyond! Whenever I thought in my head I needed another two hands or felt like I needed to be two places as once he was right there to help and was happy to do so. This relieved a lot of stress for me and my husband. All of our friends and family complimented us on our ceremony, said there was not a dry eye there. If you're still on the search for the perfect officiant, might as well stop here because you have found him!

Pastor Jay helped us in every way along the journey to our wedding! He helps out with things that you wouldn't even think about. He also pointed us in the right direction for the process to follow after getting married. We met two or three times before the wedding as well and figured out every little detail! He was also there for rehearsal practice which made things run very smoothly the day of. High Recommend!

Jay was absolutely perfect! We planned the wedding long distance - he "met" with us via video chat on Skype to get to know us, gave us some great "homework" and tips. Showed up on time, with back ups of vows, breath mints, you name it! Talked to our kids, made everyone feel at ease. We loved the ceremony! THANK YOU!!!

We can't say enough good things about Pastor Jay! From the get-go he was personable, flexible and accommodating! He offered to meet us wherever we felt comfortable. He also did a great job getting to know us on a deeper level and used that to push us and mentor us- it was wonderful! He provided us with "homework" that pulled us closer as a couple. We also received some workbooks to work through important conversations in a unique way that allowed us to be open and honest in a very safe and comfortable way.

We met in person with Jay 3 times for about 2 hours each time- he is willing to meet for as long as is needed! He emailed us frequently to check in with us, to offer suggestions or insights, to give us ceremonies to look at in order to tailor ours to us, and to keep up in the know.

Because his schedule allowed, he joined us for our rehearsal dinner and stayed after the ceremony for dinner. This gave him and our family the time to get to know one another at a deeper level and everyone had spectacular things to say about him! Many mentioned that they could tell during the ceremony that we all had a deep and great relationship. It was great.

Pastor Jay has such a sense of humor but also one of calmness. He will keep you centered and offer nothing but support the day of the wedding and all of the days leading up to it. After the ceremony, he went out and got us waters and hors d'oeuvres from cocktail hour- always thinking ahead. It was SO appreciated!!! It is quite apparent that he is very familiar with what he is doing and will do whatever he can to make things go smoothly.

Our venue actually recommends Pastor Jay as their #1 pastor of choice to work with. They mentioned that they always feel so relieved when he is selected by the wedding couple since working with him is so easy and seamless. Without question or hesitation, we absolutely recommend Pastor Jay!!

Jay was amazing, he went above and beyond of what was expected of him! He found us our location for the ceremony, even got the music lined up for us. We didn’t give Jay much time to plan our wedding, and it was just beautiful! We can’t say enough wonderful things about Jay!

Pastor Jay great! We had a unique situation and he was very accommodating. We were living in Mississippi while planning our wedding, and Pastor Jay was very flexible. We had a couple Skype meetings with him as well as an in person meeting when we were in MI for a week. From the beginning he made us very comfortable. It was a great balance of him understanding what we were looking for and him educating us at the same time. Our wedding was perfect and we couldn't have done it without Pastor Jay. Thanks again.

For our wedding we hired Pastor Jay with West Michigan Ceremony. He came highly recommended from a neighbor of ours and we were not disappointed. He had great communication and took the time we needed to have the ceremony performed to perfection. He was very helpful when we were having trouble making some decisions. We were very happy with how things turned out and would recommend him to anyone. Thanks again Jay

Jay was absolutely wonderful to work with! We had such a beautiful and perfect ceremony that he helped shape for us. He made us feel so comfortable talking with him right away - which wasn't this case with some other officiants we talked to. Jay truly took the time to get to know us before our wedding and made sure our ceremony script was tailored to us - our beliefs, what was important to us, and words that had meaning to us. We had some very useful conversations with Jay regarding life after marriage - I know these conversations are going to stay with my husband and me. We would recommend Jay to anyone - he will do an amazing job!

Pastor Jay was so truly wonderful to work with. He offered wonderful marriage counseling prior to our big day, and always responded promptly to questions and concerns. On the day of our wedding, Pastor Jay was comforting and helped keep everyone relaxed amidst all the excitement and nervousness. When we took photos, he provided us with coins to toss into the wishing well at our venue, which was extra special and not expected. We would recommend Pastor Jay to anyone, he is such a kind and joyful man.

Pastor Jay was amazing. Our wedding was everything we had hoped and more. From the beginning, he guided us through creating a ceremony that we both wanted, something nontraditional, but with a few traditional/religious touches. Also, he met with us 3 times and were given optional (but highly recommended) workbooks to go through together. These were a great way for us to discuss those difficult topics. Couldn't have asked for a better guy to make our day even more special.

Jay is great! He is not judgmental and extremely flexible. He is available for counseling if you like but doesn't require or guilt anyone into it. With Jay it seems that he is legitimately vested in the success of your relationship. He helps orchestrate the ceremony calmly and kindly. By the time the ceremony came around it seemed as if he was just another friend celebrating with us and not one of the "help". Thanks again Jay!

I cannot say enough about how wonderful Jay is! He was an absolute joy to work with. He met with us three separate times, twice via Skype and once in person prior to our wedding. He worked with us every step of the way, giving my husband and I guidance and providing us opportunity to provide our input throughout the months leading up to our wedding. On the big day, Jay was on top of everything! From providing mints before the ceremony, showing my bridesmaids where to stash tissues so no one would notice, and reminding us to breathe, he anticipated every possible complication and made us feel totally calm so we could enjoy every minute of the ceremony. My heart was racing as I walked down the aisle, worried I would forget what I was supposed to say (which I almost did!), but because Jay had come to the venue and walked us through every moment of the ceremony the night before for the rehearsal, everything went smoothly. If you have any hesitation about choosing an officiant remotely... don't. Jay is amazing. Use him.

Rev. Jay officiated our wedding in July. My husband and I couldn’t be happier with his services! Throughout the entire wedding planning process, Jay was available to answer any questions we had. Communication was great - he answered our emails very promptly and made himself available to meet over Skype or in person, when we were able. Before the wedding, my *then* fiance and I met with Jay to go over some anxieties we were having about the future. Jay was so helpful easing our nerves and talking things through with us. During our rehearsal, Jay did a great job organizing our wedding party and making sure everyone was clear on the details. He struck the perfect balance of being professional yet still fun! Our wedding ceremony went so smoothly and I think much of that was due to Jay. I would definitely recommend his services to any couple getting married!!

Jay is very thoughtful and really wants to get to know you before the ceremony. He put a lot of work into our ceremony and included details about us it. It was very personal and intimate. He has several different types of ceremonies to choose from, ranging from very traditional to 'casual'. He is encouraging when you are looking thorough them to add your own voice to it and is very open to suggestions. He is respectful of all levels of religious affiliation and wants to make the ceremony special for you. I could not have asked for a better officiant. I would recommend Jay to anyone.

Pastor Jay was amazing! He was so helpful throughout the whole process. He was accommodating without busy schedules - willing to Skype us for our meetings! It felt like we had known him for years after everything was said and done! The ceremony itself was a perfect mix of everything we wanted (and our families!). I had many wonderful comments from family and friends about how beautiful the ceremony was. He also helped out throughout the whole day from helping with the map of the day to telling bridal party members where to go and how to stand! He has a lot of experience and I highly recommend him for any and all weddings!

We had a very brief turn around between proposal to ceremony and Jay helped out. Courteous, respectful, professional and very helpful. The service was brief and flawless and he had some really good vows he brought to the table. We did not have to write a thing, but I am sure he was willing to accommodate. I would recommend his service to another couple!

My husband and I cannot say enough positive things about our experience with Jay! From the minute we sat down at our first meeting, we felt very comfortable talking with Jay about every aspect of our wedding. He was great at helping us think though all of the details of our ceremony, and was very flexible in tailoring the ceremony to fit our backgrounds, families, and who we are as a couple. I loved having a custom ceremony! We enjoyed working with Jay so much that we passed along his information to our friends who are getting married this summer. We cannot wait to see Jay again!

Outstanding! That's the one word I'd use to describe our experience with Jay. We met with him a couple times prior to the wedding and he was always on time and flexible. Jay was able to take our theme, ideas and venue all into account when planning the perfect ceremony. He had great suggestions and ideas when we were undecided. Even prior to our wedding day we were very impressed. Once our rehearsal and wedding day came Jay continued to be fantastic. He was always prepared and willing to be an extra set of hands if we needed assistance with anything during our special day. in working with Jay we could tell he takes his job very serious and has a fantastic work ethic. If you're reading this review please know hat he comes highly recommended!

My husband and I absolutely loved having Jay be a part of our wedding! Not only was he an amazing officiant but he was also very helpful prior to the ceremony. He is very open-minded about whatever type of ceremony the couple chooses to have and is very helpful in offering suggestions so that you end up with the best possible version of what you envision. His services are also very reasonably priced. We are so glad that we chose Jay to officiate our wedding :)

Jay was very pleasant to work with and gave us several different readings and examples to go through which was great as neither one of us was apart of a church prior to getting married. He listened to us and our ideas and knew exactly how our special day was envisioned in our eyes, and he made that happen.

Jay was a wonderful officiant for our wedding! He was kind and open, and took the time to get to know us and help us put together a ceremony that fit our personalities and desires perfectly. On top of that, he was friendly, fun, and we were so pleased to have him as part of our day.

I'm so glad we found Jay on wedding wire. He was such a great guy to work with. He was flexible and laid back but kept us on track to have everything done by the wedding day. He helped us put together our perfect wedding ceremony and walked us through it step by step so we were ready for the big day. We also invited him to our reception and he did a blessing for us before we ate dinner. I would highly recommend him to any one getting married!

He was very open minded with any requests that we had. We just wanted a short ceremony & he honored our request. He gave us a few different sets of vows to choose from, & he let us mix and match verses.

We couldn't be happier with Rev. Jay. He made us feel at ease, answered all our questions and helped us with even the littlest of details. He is an great guy who we both felt a connection with. He is very easy going and always had the biggest smile on his face. As a lesbian couple, he treated our marriage with the utmost respect and earned our respect by doing so. Thank you so much Jay for making our day so special, Tina and Theresa.

Jay officiated our wedding in June and he was incredible! My fiance (now husband) and I were in a bit of a tight spot before meeting Jay because it was a month before the wedding and the officiant that we had lined up, backed out on us. I'm so happy that things worked out the way they did because I could not have asked for a better officiant. He responds so quickly to phone calls and emails, he listens and respects what you and your spouse-to-be value and uses that information when planning your ceremony. He's funny, on time for everything, and helps to ease the stress of your wedding day with his positive attitude and humor. After working with Jay, my husband and I are so happy and very thankful that we were able to meet such a great human. If you want an officiant who is well spoken, experienced, funny, and honest, then Jay's the man for you. Jay, you are amazing thank you so much for working with us to create such a wonderful ceremony, we had a blast working with you!!

We used Rev Jay for our wedding as the officiant, not only was he easy to work with, but he listened to what our vision was and is extremely flexible. He really helped ease the stress of planning and also the stress day-of. Things could not have gone smoother the day-of! Jay communicated efficiently with the vendors and also helped to mediate between staff members. Many guests commented how professional and fun our officiant was, many positive comments! Thank you Jay!!

I had never been married before and I was concerned about finding an officiant that I could trust to give us input on what needed to be done. Jay was super helpful, caring, fun, and a pleasure to have. He has such a great personality and is willing to help with whatever we needed. He offered to council us, gave us different options for how the ceremony could be and recommended great ceremonies that fit perfectly with who we are as people. He was very helpful and fun to have as our officiant. I even asked him if he could do the opening as if it was princess bride the movie, and he did for our rehearsal. It was awesome! He even takes care of the wedding license after the service and gave us a copy of everything including the ceremony, vows, and the wedding license. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a great officiant.

Jay was absolutely wonderful! He was extremely helpful, both with answering questions and helping us plan the layout of the ceremony. He was very laid back, friendly, professional, patient, informative and fun (he did an impression of the Impressive Clergyman from "Princess Bride" for us at our rehearsal. It was fantastic!). We couldn't have asked for a better ceremony or officiant!

From the start Jay was very easy to talk to and helped us go through the process of planning our ceremony when we had no idea on where to start. We wanted something more non-traditional and secular and he was awesome working with us and making suggestions that worked for what we wanted. For the rehearsal I, again, had no idea where to start and he took charge and made everything run smoothly. On the day of the wedding he was a huge help making sure everyone was ready and things were going the way they were - including helping pin flowers on grandmas and things like that. He was very patient and calming during the ceremony and it was just perfect. He was a huge help throughout the process and a very calming influence on a day that is overwhelming.

If I we're able to give Rev Jay 10 stars I would! To say he went above and beyond his duties would be an understatement. Our wedding was a surprise to our guests. They thought they were attending our engagement party, only to find out it was actually the big day. Friends and family are still amazed that we hadn't know Rev Jay prior to this. We are so lucky to have found him and would recommend him and his services to anyone looking for that officiant to give your ceremony that special touch.

Jay was the perfect officiant for our wedding. He was easy to talk with and get to know. His suggestions for our ceremony were invaluable. After meeting with us, he created a wedding service that perfectly reflected who we are as a couple. Everyone who met and spoke with Jay before and after the ceremony had positive things to say. What a personable guy. We would recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding officiant.

Reverend Jay was just simply amazing. He did a wonderful job on our ceremony and was very helpful in the planning process. I had just three weeks to plan a wedding and he made it so simple to choose when completing our ceremony. He made it very personal and it was just overall a beautiful day! I would recommend him to anyone who wants a vow renewal or regular marriage ceremony! He is absolutely amazing!

Jay was fantastic! He really wants you to be happy with your ceremony, and cares greatly about your feelings and concerns. We were nervous and clueless about the whole wedding thing, and Jay really helped us to understand the process and made us feel like everything was going to be okay. He makes you feel comfortable, like you can ask questions and share what you think about anything. I definitely recommend him!

Loved working with Rev. Jay! He was friendly, professional and caring. He went above and beyond to help is make sure everything was in order and ready to go. I love that my husband and I were involved with all aspects of the ceremony, from drafting the script to picking the officiants outfit! So worth it! Thanks Rev. Jay!!

We could not think of a more perfect officiant for our special day. Rev Jay was amazing, he helped us more than I even thought possible. He met with us before hand, was very flexible, e-mailed us back and forth, even a couple phone calls, he set up a beautiful ceremony just for us. Rev Jay is very sincere, professional, heart felt, and just all around great at what he is doing! We can't thank him enough. He is worth even more than his pricing.
