How it works

Easy, enjoyable and no surprises.

From the first hello to the pronouncement, here is exactly what working with Jim looks like.

Plan Your Ceremony

How it works

Four steps from “we’re engaged” to “I now pronounce you.”

Step one

A free chat

Zoom or in person, no obligation. You get a feel for Jim, he gets a feel for your day.

Step two

Your questionnaire

Each of you answers a few questions about your story, your humor and your must-haves.

Step three

Written for you

Jim drafts it around you. Vows, rituals and tone get tuned until it reads exactly right.

Step four

The day itself

He arrives early, meets your vendors, calms the nerves and speaks so every row can hear.

“My new husband and I could not have picked a better wedding Officiant if we tried. Jim was everything!! Incredibly professional, charismatic, and accommodating. We loved the detailed questionnaire that helped him create and customize a perfectly personalized and heartfelt ceremony...”

Details you won’t have to think about.

He won’t match your groomsmen

Jim picks his suit color so he never blends into the wedding party in your photos.

He steps out of the kiss

When it’s time for the first kiss, he moves aside so your photographer gets the shot clean.
