Officiant
We are beyond thrilled to have our dear friend Reggie Headen officiating our wedding. Reggie has been there for us since day one—literally! He gave us a ride on our very first date and used to be Jake’s roommate, where many late-night jam sessions became the soundtrack of their friendship. A talented singer, musician, and songwriter, Reggie has dedicated his life to his art and to inspiring those around him. His powerful voice and profound connection to Jazz music have made him a beloved figure in the Asheville community and beyond. Whether he’s performing on stage or sharing heartfelt wisdom, Reggie’s warmth and charisma make everyone feel seen and celebrated. We couldn’t imagine a better person to guide us through such a meaningful moment in our lives. His ability to bring people together and inspire joy makes him the perfect choice to help us say “I do.”
