Priest | Minister for everybody

Everybody says, "The most beautiful wedding I've ever seen!" Jim Burch is considered one of the best officiants in the country (with 1,000 + positive reviews) who offers beautiful, meaningful ceremonies which you put together using our format. All denominations/religions (including Catholic and divorced) - or none at all (science tells us the same thing as religions). Any place, indoors or outdoors. Jim uses words and concepts that work for YOU. Always positive and uplifting, personal and warm. 1/2 hour tops.

Nobody ever (ever!) sleeps. Everybody perks up and pays attention. That's because your ceremony - which you and Jim create together - matches you and your guests and makes sense to virtually everybody. Your guests usually say or think, "That's what I believe ... why haven't I ever heard it said that way before?" Give your guests (and yourselves!) a treat by having Jim as your officiant!

In three words: Fun, Honest, Thoughtful

I give you one of 2 script that I use (Spiritual, but not overly religious OR just about love). You go through each section, select the options within it that you like and write those on the cover page. The ones you do not select do not show up in your ceremony. None of the selections are to morose or drippy, nor are they too new age-y. Then you go to the next sections and do the same thing. When you are done, you will feel like everyone else who has done this: "This sounds like us!" If you have a big wedding and choose very little, you will be about 20 minutes. If you choose a lot, you will be under 30 minutes (I never go over a half-hour).
Since 1996, about 30 years.
Over 3,000 to date and still counting (I want YOURS to be the best!).
Absolutely. You take my script (choose either SPIRITUAL - and NOT overly religious - or only on LOVE) and go thrugh each section, selecting the options you like and discarding the others (They don't show up in your wedding). If you have a good-sized wedding and pick very little, you will be about 20 minutes; if you pick a lot, you will be about 30 minutes (I never go over a half-hour). Then, you will feel like all the others who have done this: "This sounds like US!"
I am not needed at a rehearsal. All you do is practice where and how you come in and how you get out. (Pretty simple) It is much better for you if that is all you practice, because, if you practice the whole ceremony, you will inevitably forget most of it, and will instead be worrying the whole time about what comes next. If I just whisper to you the few things you do, it is MUCH better for you, because you can enjoy your own wedding. We do, however, meet about a week beforehand (either in person or by Face Time, etc.) to just go over what you do at the rehearsal, and also to get to know each other again after, often, a considerable time.
Sure! You may have had the legal part done previously, but now you want to celebrate with your family and friends. That is wonderful!
I can do one session. But I have found that studies show that marriages last longer with pre-marital counseling and also that it doesn't make much difference. It depends if YOU want it to last. I do have an "encouragement" paper that I can pass out to you for the two of you to discuss some important things to discuss before you take that giant step of marriage.
