“JD personalized our ceremony with heartfelt sentiment, spiritual insight, and relaxed humor.  He asked us to write letters about each other, and used selections from the letters to draw poignant observations about our relationship.  We were married in a garden in front of a sculpture; JD researched the artwork and artist and spoke about each in a manner that imbued our wedding with a memorable sense of 'place'.  After the ceremony, we were told by many it was the most "honest", "beautiful", and "natural" they had ever attended.  JD has a rare ability to find the universal in the specific and *involve* people.  He makes the mystical accessible, the emotional natural, and people laugh.  We can't imagine a better or more capable wedding officiant.”

“JD customized such a beautiful wedding with us. We were moved to both laugher and tears of joy. It was a pleasure to collaborate with him during the whole process. We appreciated his personal touch and his professionalism.”

"The service JD created for our short outdoor ceremony was perfect: he held space for our otherworldly connection and officiated our union with special care for setting a sacred intention with elegance, philosophy and kept us all smiling, loving and laughing the whole time. He was prophetic, philosophical and encouraged guest participation in such delightful ways that kept everybody involved and active members of our ceremony. As our relationship grows we will undoubtedly call him back whenever we feel called to hold another ceremony in the future."

"JD was the officiant for our elopement. From the first time we met him on FaceTime, he made us feel warm and welcome like an old friend. He made sure that the ceremony was exactly what we wanted and collaborated with us to help come up with ideas to make our day even more special. The ceremony went flawlessly thanks to JD! "

“JD’s participation in our wedding ceremony was creative, unique and personalized.

He captured moments that were special to us and wove them into our ceremony (he even had our wedding party participate in his reading). It was a memorable and magical day for us, and our guests commented long after on how unique and memorable our ceremony was. JD was a key part of making the day special, and captured the vibe of our day perfectly.”
