Elegant, innovative, unique, quirky, simple – Gregory works with every couple to create the perfect ceremony that they’ll remember with joy. Couples select an independent minister/officiant for a variety of reasons – ease, affordability, flexibility, and to side-step the complications and hassles of working with church-based ministers and their sometimes inflexible rules and requirements. Working
together, Gregory will write and help you select all the parts of your wedding service, including greetings, prayers, readings, vows, and blessings. You will be able to review drafts and request changes until the ceremony is exactly to your likening. You’ll be able to fully personalize your ceremony, adding those features, symbols, readings, gestures, and parts that will help make your celebration an expression of your love for one another and one to remember. The ceremony is planned with your venue of your choice in mind, be it a hall, home, restaurant, outdoor location, or some other setting. Gregory has been helping Christian, interfaith, non-religious, and same-sex couples celebrate their perfect wedding – let him do the same for you. CREATING THE SERVICE – THE PROCESS
After carefully listening to you about the style of wedding service you prefer, Gregory will use rely on his vast wedding service resources to draft a ceremony for your review. Then, working in-person and/or via email, he’ll work with you to incorporate your changes, edits, and additions until you have the perfect, personalized wedding ceremony. THE DAY OF THE CEREMONY
Reliable and experienced, Gregory always arrives to the venue early, ready to sign the marriage license and perform the wedding. It tends to work best if the marriage license is signed before the ceremony. SCHEDULING & FEES
