Welcome! We are so glad you are here!
At Validated Vows, we have always been captivated by the unique and beautiful stories that bring people together. We believe that every love story, from the quiet moments to the grand adventures, deserves to be celebrated in a way that is personal and true to you.
The journey to officiating weddings began when we had the honor of officiating the wedding of our two best friends. It was a moment that a had very profound impact. It is then that we realized that this was more than just a ceremony; it was an opportunity to help couples honor their journey and celebrate the commitment they were making. We saw firsthand how a ceremony, crafted with love and intention, could be the heart of a couple's wedding day.

We cannot recommend Jeffrey enough and would absolutely give him five stars! From the very beginning, he was professional, organized, calm, and incredibly efficient throughout our ...
wedding weekend.
Even with a very short timeline before the ceremony, his communication was outstanding every step of the way. He was always responsive, attentive, and kept us informed throughout the entire process, which made us feel completely at ease during such an important time.
What truly stood out was how seamlessly he handled an unexpected last-minute change. We had planned a beautiful small outdoor family gathering at the house, but when a rainstorm suddenly came through, everything had to be moved indoors at the last minute. Despite the stress and quick pivot, he handled everything flawlessly and made the transition feel effortless.
The entire event still felt beautiful, intimate, and perfectly coordinated. Our guests had an amazing time, and we were able to truly enjoy the moment without worrying about anything. His attention to detail, flexibility, professionalism, and ability to stay composed under pressure made all the difference.
We are so grateful for everything Jeffrey did to make our special day feel seamless and memorable. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone dependable, talented, and truly exceptional at what he does! Thank you Jeff!

Having Jeffrey officiate our wedding was one of the best and easiest choices that my husband and I made for our wedding day experience. He took the time to get to know us as a coup...
le and asked all of the right questions to enable him to draft a completely custom ceremony that was centered around our relationship as a couple and as individuals. His attention to detail was immaculate, and when conducting the ceremony he spoke clearly and with a purpose. It shows that he put his care into each part and allowed the whole process to be easy and seamless. I would recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant that truly cares about the experience and takes pride in ensuring that your wedding ceremony will be everything you dreamed of and more.

We had a wonderful experience with Jeff from Validated Vows! We found him to be an excellent communicator, he was responsive to our needs, and easy to get a hold of. He helped to k...
eep us organized on a cross-country wedding, as we live near Portland, OR, but the wedding was on Long Island. We had a great online meeting to introduce ourselves, he asked the right questions on what we were looking for and getting to know us. He used that information to craft a ceremony script that fit our relationship and made it feel like he knew us for months! We had several editing sessions back and forth until we were satisfied with the ceremony. We then had an in-person meeting to verify the script was set.
The day of the ceremony, things went as we had planned, he kept to the script as written, and his easy-going style helped to keep things relaxed.
Just as importantly, after the ceremony, he turned in the signed marriage license to the City Clerk's office within two days, and communicated that by email.
Overall, we found Validated Vows to be an excellent service, and we highly recommend him!

Jeff officiated a wedding for a friend of mine from college, and he was amazing. He was well-prepared for the ceremony, and I know he spent a lot of time communicating with both th...
e bride and groom to give them the exact ceremony they wanted. He was well spoken, and well dressed, and you couldn't have asked for a more amazing officiant for the occasion. Jeff brought a personal touch to the overall ceremony, and it wouldn't have been the same if anyone else had done it.
If you are looking for an officiant to conduct your wedding ceremony, big or small, I don't think I could recommend anyone more highly.
