Knee-deep in wedding planning and just realized you need someone to actually tie the knot?
First — congratulations!
You’re entering one of the most exciting, meaningful chapters of your life. There are a million little details to juggle, but let’s be real — choosing your officiant? That’s top-tier important. Like the frosting on the cake: it sets the tone and hopefully doesn’t give everyone heartburn.
📌 Quick Facts About Me
- Real Minister: Lifelong, seminary-trained, non-denominational — not a pajama-wearing online ordained guy.
- Experienced: 20+ years, hundreds of weddings across Middle TN — from truck stops to the Governor’s Mansion.
- Approachable: I’m your officiant, not your preacher (unless you ask for a sermon — not holding my breath).
