Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What qualifies you to officiate my wedding?

A: As an ordained minister, I am a legally recognized minister of the gospel in regular communion with a religious society, and am thus authorized to solemnize weddings in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, per KRS 402.050. Furthermore I am trained, certified and licensed as a wedding officiant through the accredited Christian Leaders Institute, which provides me with additional endorsement, education and training in the performance of my ministerial duties.

Q: Who else is qualified to officiate my wedding?

A: Any minister of the gospel or priest of any denomination in communion with any religious society, justices of the peace, judges, and fiscal commissioners may solemnize weddings in Kentucky. 

Q: Why should I choose you to officiate my wedding?

A: Sometimes, a person already knows a minister or judge through their church, family, work or friends. For those who don't know a minister, they are left to find one of their own accord. I personally strive to provide faithful, graceful officiation at the lowest possible cost and with the highest degree of flexibility. My costs are significantly lower than most other officiant services.

Q: What is the Universal Life Church? Who are you licensed by?

A: The ULC is a religious society that provides ordinations of ministers in all 50 states primarily to officiate and perform weddings. This ordination is legally accepted in Kentucky. Furthermore, I received training as a Wedding & Funeral Officiant as a student of the Christian Leaders Alliance, a school of the accredited Christian Leaders Institute. By completing this training, I further received certification in these matters from the school, and was granted licensure through said school to officiate wedding and funerals on their behalf.
