I have worked about 4,000 weddings in my day, each one uniquely tailored to the couple’s preferences. Having started in the industry as a DJ, I recall seeing other officiants. Some were amazing while others clearly didn’t want to be there. Having MC’d hundreds of weddings, I mastered the art of engagement. As an officiant, my focus is customizing the celebration which often includes involving guests as participants in the celebration. They love it.
