About Buddy
Florida's Coolest Wedding Officiant
With nearly 30 years of experience as one of America's Top 50 Wedding DJs, Event Hosts, and a Motivational Speaker, I am often asked to perform wedding ceremonies. So, I do! I love bringing joy, love, and even a sense of fun (if you want it) to your ceremony. In 2005 I became an ordained Reverend in a non-denominational ministry so that I could perform ceremonies for those that wanted and needed this very personal service.
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 to stability, care, and community. 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 come from a Christian background with a Dad who deeply believed in Christianity. He volunteered in men's prisons sharing gospel on a weekly radio program in the 1990s/early 2000s called "Let's Talk Religion" in Tampa, I fully understand couples may bring different faiths to their love and 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 officant, I'll make sure to reflect your love story.
Let's Do This!
Your ceremony and officiant presentation should reflect you, your taste, and your budget. I welcome couples from all walks of life. I have 2 packages most recommended and fees vary from $499 - $899
