About

It would be an honor to be your personal officiant for your special day. Your ceremony can be traditional, contemporary, Christian, interfaith, or a blend of styles. I will work with you to design a ceremony that represents the best of who you are as a couple. Your first consultation is always free of charge. Please contact me so that we can discuss your vision for your big day!

West Michigan Ceremony supports AYA Youth Collective. AYA creates safe spaces for youth in crisis to belong, be themselves and build a future (ayayouth.org). Ten percent of the revenue of WMC is donated to support AYA. Please consider adding AYA or a charity of your choice to your wedding registry.

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.

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.
