About Your Officiant

I’m James—Let’s Create a Ceremony That Feels Like You


Back in 2013, close friends asked me to officiate their wedding. I was nervous (to say the least), but after crafting a ceremony that truly reflected their love and seeing how meaningful it was, I knew I’d found something special.

Later, my own mom’s officiant canceled last minute. She asked me to step in—and I created something just for her. Simple, heartfelt, personal. She loved it.

That’s when I realized: couples deserve more than a script. They deserve something that feels like them.

Whether you're planning a big celebration or an intimate elopement, I’m here to make sure your ceremony is stress-free, meaningful, and completely yours.
