Notable Review
My husband and I both have been married before and didn’t want the traditional church wedding. I’m so glad we asked Jim to officiate our wedding because he turned what could have been a soggy outside ceremony (continuous mist) into a personalized vow exchange that lifted spirits and had everyone laughing. With a Mets jersey for “ceremonial vestments”, a thick Staten Island accent, and the Brooklyn bridge in the background (spot picked by Jim) he gave us the real “Noo Yawk” -style wedding we wanted. Jim’s humor and heartfelt words helped us start our new life together with smiles and made our wedding unforgettable.
