1. Why should we select "A Perfect Gay Ceremony? A Perfect Gay Ceremony symbolizes happiness and your right to marry the "person who you love". I create and perform custom ceremonies for ALL couples who have declared their desire to marry. As many churches have restrictions and requirements for couples to marry, I have none. I am an excellent alternative. I specialize in non-denominational, traditional, civil, themed, short and sweet custom ceremonies. I am dedicated and committed to create and perform a perfect ceremony tailored for your special day. I have performed many wedding ceremonies expressing love between two people. I am detail oriented with an upbeat personality. I am very knowledgeable and skilled in wedding day dynamics and coordination. I believe you should have choices, both as to your ceremony content and location. The package fees are designed to offer the finest quality custom ceremony and wedding officiant services at an affordable price.
