About Buddy
Florida's Coolest Wedding Officiant
In 2005 I became an ordained Reverend in a non-denominational ministry so that I could perform ceremonies for those that wanted this very personal service. With nearly 30 years of experience as one of America's Top 50 Wedding DJs, Event Hosts, and occasional Motivational Speaker it was a perfect fit and calling, I was often asked, "Do you perform wedding ceremonies?" I made it so I can say, "I do." I love bringing joy, love, and even a sense of fun (if you want it) to a ceremony.
Why Choose 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 would describe myself as a Deist. I believe in God. Spiritual, but not necessarily religious. I can make that part of your ceremony, or not. My late father was a man who deeply believed in Christianity. He volunteered in prisons sharing Gospel and hosted a weekly radio program called “Let’s Talk Religion” in the 1990s and 2000s. Admittedly, I learned a LOT from him. I fully understand couples may bring different faiths to their marriage and I will work with you because it is the heart and love that matters. I do believe marriage is ordained by God. While your love is highly personal, as your marriage officiant, I'll make sure to reflect your love story.
