wedding officiating

I am ordained by American Marriage Ministries.

I dedicate each day to one wedding unless there are significant time gaps and are within close proximity. I will always consult with both parties before accepting an additional booking for same day.

First, breathe cause things could get crazy. Next, pick your date and contact me to secure your date!

First, not everyone needs a rehearsal. It all depends on the intricacy of the ceremony and traditions, number of attendants, your personal comfort level, your desire for tradition, etc. Secondly, it may not be necessary for me to be at the rehearsal. Typically, one doesn't do a full run through of the ceremony only hitting processional, marking, breaks, schedule, and recessional. I would definitely need to be there if you desire to understand the order of ceremony. If your wedding is taking place Monday through Thursday, I will be glad to book your rehearsal now. However, for weekend weddings, I book rehearsals closer to the wedding date to not conflict with other weddings.

A quickie marriage is something like a same-day marriage or elopment, as in you purchase your license and exchange vows same day outside the courthouse, at your home, at a park, or wherever. No formal ceremony or traditions are performed with only an exchange of basic, standard vows. I have a few options that are religious and non-religous from which to choose, or it can be delears choice. In addition to the quick exchange of vows, I will also file the certificate with the State.

I support all faiths, religions, spiritualities, and those who choose otherwise. Additionally, I support all ceremony styles and types. It's your life and your day. Your ceremony should reflect your unique and authentic selves.

Absolutely! If you are already legally married, your ceremony would be considered a vow renewal (but it can stay our little secret if you want.) *Tennessee does not recognize common law marriages. If you were common law married in another state, you will need to obtain a marriage license and have an actual ceremony performed.

I mean, there needs to be at lease two participants. TN does not required witnesses. Otherwise, anything is workable.

Of course! And we would love for you to share with us any relevant photos or video.

If I'm invited and able to stay, I'd be glad to join you.

Yes, I am considered a vendor. Vendors do not expect a tip, but it's always appreciated.
