About Buddy
Florida's Favorite Wedding Officiant
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. I have over 30 years of experience as one of America's Top 50 Wedding DJs, Event Hosts, and occasional Motivational Speaker. It is 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.
