About Buddy
I Believe in Love
In 2010 I became an ordained Reverend in a non-denominational ministry so that I could perform ceremonies for those that wanted this very personal service. At that time, I’d had 25 years’ experience as one of America's Top Wedding DJs, Event Hosts, and Motivational Speaker. I was often asked, "Do you perform wedding ceremonies?" I made it so I can say, "I do." It is a perfect fit and calling, I love bringing joy, love, and even a sense of fun (if you want it) to a ceremony.
Why Choose Reverend Buddy?
I believe in love, I believe in commitment. Marriage is one of the humanities longest traditions. There is not a time in recorded history that it doesn't exist. As a wedding officiant, I am part of that moment you choose to share with the world your commitment. You also make two families one. It's both a joyous and serious celebration of promise.
Personally, I was single for a long time. When I met my wife, Katrina, we knew we were right for each other. I hope every couple I'm honored to service finds this happiness too. I bring that heart to your ceremony.
Denominational & Non-Denominational
I describe myself as a Deist. I believe in God, Christian leaning and that we all have a higher purpose beyond what we can understand. I believe it's important to pray and persue that. If you’d like faith woven into your ceremony, I can absolutely do that — or keep things more spiritual, simple, or non-religious if that better reflects you as a couple.
My late father deeply believed in Christianity. He volunteered in prisons sharing the Gospel and hosted a weekly radio program called Let’s Talk Religion throughout the 1990s and 2000s. I learned a great deal from him, and I fully respect that couples may come from different faiths, traditions, or perspectives. I believe marriage is ordained by God and your love, connection, and commitment are what truly matter. As your officiant, my role is to honor and reflect your unique love story.
