then look no further because Pastor Jeremy is the officiant for you! From our first video chat, we knew that we wanted Pastor Jeremy to officiate our Exchange of Vows Ceremony for our Indian/American fusion wedding. He was so easy to talk to and provided us with all the materials and guidance we needed to plan our perfect ceremony. As the Big Day approached, Pastor Jeremy gave us a run-down of what to expect and provided us with a uniquely tailored manuscript of the ceremony to review, both of which made us feel completely prepared and put us at ease going into our wedding day. Not only does Pastor Jeremy have incredible organizational and planning skills, but he is also an AMAZING public speaker. The ceremony flowed effortlessly and was everything we dreamed of, full of love, laughter, and many happy tears. Afterward, we received endless compliments from our guests on how beautiful the ceremony was and how amazing our officiant was. The ceremony was so personalized that some wondered if we had known Pastor Jeremy for years before the wedding. He lived up to every single wonderful review we read when we initially came across his page on the Knot. We are forever grateful to have had Pastor Jeremy officiate our ceremony and would recommend him to any couples looking for an incredible officiant to help them craft a beautiful and personalized ceremony.

I cannot give Pastor Jeremy enough praise! Jeremy was the officiant at my sister-in-laws wedding, which he was absolutely incredible at. When the time came for my fiancé and I to p...
ick an officiant, we knew it had to be Jeremy. From the start Jeremy made us feel so at ease with the whole process. From the first zoom meeting, to the end of the ceremony we knew we were in the best hands. Jeremy has a very calming presence and it brings such a special element to the ceremony. A week after our wedding, guests are still contacting my husband and I saying our ceremony was the best they had ever been to, with the best officiant. We cannot thank Jeremy enough for being apart of our perfect day!
Pastor Dave was amazing to work with. We enjoyed the whole process from beginning to end! We couldn’t have asked for a better ceremony and it’s all thanks to Pastor Dave! All of ou...

Pastor Jeremy created my absolute dream wedding. He was SO lovely to work with prior to the ceremony and you can tell he truly cares about each couple he works with. He was just as...
detailed orientated as I was which was awesome. Many times people talk about your DJ or food but EVERYONE has talked to me about how amazing my ceremony was. My grandfather even came over and asked where he was at the reception because he thought he was one of our friends (that is how personalized he made our ceremony). I am so grateful to have had such a heartfelt and personal ceremony and it was truly all because of Pastor Jeremy.
Stop your officiant search right now because you are not going to find anyone better than Pastor Jeremy. From our first meeting on FaceTime to our wedding day, Jeremy made us feel ...
so calm and confident that everything was going to come together perfectly, and it did! Jeremy provides you with everything you need to plan your perfect ceremony, including guidance on readings, vows, etc. He makes himself available to answer any questions as they come up, and provides advice on anything you may need help with. He also spends time getting to know you as a couple, which makes for a super personalized ceremony. We received so many compliments from our guests about how personal it was and that they enjoyed learning about our relationship, definitely not something you get at every wedding! We can not say enough positive things about Pastor Jeremy, he's just a cool dude that will make your wedding day unique and memorable, and he is a joy to work with.
Pastor Jeremy was our officiant for our wedding and we couldn't have picked a better individual to marry us.
Due to COVID, we didn't have the opportunity to met Pastor Jeremy in ...
person before our wedding; it was only over zoom. Although that is the case, you would have never known. We had multiple zoom calls with him, and he provided us with any and all documents and instructions that we could need.
On our wedding day, Pastor Jeremy spoke as though he knew us for years. He was funny, personable, organized, calming, and extremely charismatic. He will tailor your wedding to be the exact vision you desire while helping you however you need along the way. We were so happy and lucky to have him as our officiant and we would recommend him to anyone.
Highly recommend Pastor Jeremey! He is kind, caring and professional from our first call to the big day. He was the perfect fit addition to our wedding ceremony. He told our story ...

We were very lucky to have had Pastor Dave Hemmerle as our officiant for our wedding! He made our ceremony everything we could’ve imagined and more. He made our ceremony loving, h...
umorous and most of all memorable for us as well as our guests. Pastor Dave listened to any concerns/questions we had and made us feel comfortable and heard throughout the entire process. He took the time to get to know us as a couple and that was able to show during the ceremony which we loved to make it more memorable! He was able to guide us through the entire process from start to finish so there was no stress. A lot of our guests also told us how great Dave was and that our ceremony was perfect. We knew we could trust Dave to make our ceremony perfect and he did just that and much more. He is a very kind person and having him be there for our special day is something we will always remember. My husband and I thank you SO MUCH!

hout the whole night couldn’t stop complimenting the ceremony. It was amazing, made everyone laugh, brought people to tears and we couldn’t have had a better pastor or ceremony. We are so happy with how everything went and we couldn’t recommend Pastor Dave enough. Our ceremony was light, personal, intimate and just perfect.
Where do I even begin? Jeremy was our officiant for our wedding in February 2022. He made our ceremony more special than we ever could have dreamed of. We wanted a mix of sentiment...
al yet also lightheartedness and that’s exactly what it was! Jeremy was professional, prepared. As far as planning the ceremony he couldn’t have made it any easier for us. He walked us through each part of the ceremony and guided us in a variety of choices and different options. He took the time to get to know us and our story, which then translated so beautifully into our ceremony. Immediately following the ceremony we had so many guests come up to us and say what an amazing job Jeremy did and how connected they felt during our ceremony. There are so many parts of wedding planning that are stressful and overwhelming, don’t let this be one of them. If your looking for an officiant, you found him! Thank you so much Jeremy for a ceremony my husband and I will cherish and remember for a lifetime!
It was a pleasure working with Jeremy! He provided lots of guidance and invaluable resources for planning our ceremony, and worked with us to incorporate elements from my cultural ...
heritage. We're still getting compliments about how heartfelt and intimate everything was.
Jeremy officiated our wedding in May 2021. He was absolutely amazing! All of our guest complimented how great he was after our wedding. He communicated well and spent time getting ...
to know us through Zoom meetings. He made sure he understood the vision we had for our wedding ceremony and executed it perfectly! We got to customize how we wanted our ceremony, but he threw in a couple surprises which we loved. Jeremy took care of mailing our marriage license too. The entire process went seamlessly. We loved working with Jeremy and highly recommend him!
Pastor Jeremy married my husband and I two weeks ago and everyone is still talking about how wonderful he was! He took the time to get to know us and made the ceremony very persona...
lized. The ceremony was a perfect mix of heartfelt, fun and beautiful. He captured our love story perfectly. We can't thank Pastor Jeremy enough for making our day so incredibly special.
Thank you again, Tori & Kyle
Our wedding was officiated by Pastor Dave! We had such a great experience with Pastor Dave from the beginning to end. He always had a huge smile on his face and made us feel calm a...
nd relaxed from the first day. He's super responsive to any inquiries and very organized about what he needs from us. The day of, he wrote a very personal introduction of us, the couple, at the altar. It really set the intimate and loving tone of the rest of the evening. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant :)
Pastor Jeremy was the best of the best. To start things off, he arrived early. We were nervous, and he made sure to make us feel calm before the ceremony started. He checked in wit...
h the DJ and the venue to make sure the mic and everything was good to go. We had received the order on how things were going to go prior to the wedding, but he also broke it down once more to us in person. From the first person walking in- till the moment we said "I Do".
His words for us were AMAZING! We've known him for several years. He asked us to do a little survey to get to know us as a couple a little further. He asked us to trust him with what he would say. We didn't get to hear his words before the ceremony, but we're glad we trusted him with this. It was very emotional, funny, and witty all at the same time. People are still talking about how much they loved the ceremony.
At the end of the ceremony, we signed all the paperwork that needs to go to court. He will personally mail it out for you, but we decided to do it ourselves since we can now upload the document (due to covid).
We're so glad Pastor Jeremy was available on our wedding day. He can get booked rather quickly. If you have a date set, make sure to book him early. It will be worth it!
Can I give more stars? We are so happy we found him. Everyone can’t stop talking about how amazing the ceremony was. It was so personal and everyone said it was the best ceremony t...
hey ever been too. I couldn’t thank him enough for everything. He is so amazing in helping us pick out the vows , the readings and the we loved the questions we had to fill out. We can’t wait to see our video to watch it all over again.
Thank you so much for making us having an amazing and beautiful day.
Pastor Jeremy was an easy pick since he is our Pastor already, however, that said, we couldn't be happier with his officiating at our wedding. It was incredibly meaningful to have...
him oversee this chapter in our lives, since it was in his church that we met!
Throughout the whole process he was easy to communicate with, very organized, helped to get our ceremony mapped out and was excellent at keeping everyone on task the day of. The message was personalized and very well thought out, along with a great sense of humor. Beyond all that, he's a fantastic dancer and definitely got our wedding crowd hyped up at the reception! I would highly recommend Jeremy for your wedding.
Jeremy was awesome! We interviewed a bunch of officiants, but none of them really "clicked" with us until we met with Jeremy. He has a very warm personality, speaks well, and we fe...
lt that he really understood what we were looking for in our ceremony. Our ceremony was perfect - it was a great mixture of personal, humorous, and romantic, which is exactly what we wanted. He was also very flexible with us when we had to make some changes due to COVID, which helped reduce stress on our part. I would definitely recommend him to others. Thank you, Jeremy!
Where do we begin? Pastor Jeremy was incredible. Our guests are still talking about him till this day when conversations about our wedding ceremony come up. He made our ceremony pe...
rsonable and upbeat. Thank you again Pastor Jeremy making the planning process easy for us. Thank you for all of your patience (especially during this pandemic.) For your guidance, and for officiating the most perfect wedding ceremony we could ever ask for!! We are forever grateful.
My husband and I were married by Pastor Dave Hemmerle this past weekend. As we began planning our ceremony in January, prior to virtually meeting Pastor Dave, we had a difficult ti...
me imagining that a person who does not already know us could truly and successfully capture our essence and love. However, the polar opposite happened, making our ceremony our favorite part of our special day. Pastor Dave's warm delivery, relaxed approach, positive presence, big smile and meaningful words brought tears and laughs to us and our family. He made the process seamless, made great recommendations on ceremony aspects and took the time to get to know, understand and capture my husband and I. We will forever treasure Pastor Dave's support and feel very blessed that we got as lucky as we did for such an important moment in our lives. Thank you Pastor Dave!
Pastor Jeremy made our wedding ceremony so incredibly special and personal. So happy he was part of our big day!
This review is for Pastor Dave Hemmerle. We are so grateful for the opportunity to meet Pastor Dave and have him officiate our wedding! He truly made our ceremony so special. We re...
ally appreciated how much he got to know us, even if over phone/Zoom, and how he helped us to incorporate some traditional and non-traditional elements into our ceremony. He was so informative and helpful throughout the process, and performed such a beautiful ceremony! We'd highly recommend him for your wedding. Thank you again, Pastor Dave!
Pastor Jeremy is a GEM! I had to look for an officiant a little less than 2 months from our wedding date due to COVID. I spoke with a few people who I knew from the start were not...
a match for us. From our initial conversation, Pastor Jeremy was super friendly and made everything so easy for us. We felt like Pastor Jeremy had known us for years. He was able to provide a custom ceremony that was absolutely perfect for us. I'm so glad I came across Pastor Jeremy on The Knot, I couldn't have found someone better to officiate of wedding. Thank you so much for everything!
Jeremy was amazing! There really are no other words for it. So happy we found him here on The Knot. We immediately connected with him upon our first call and knew he would be the o...
ne to marry us. He guided us through this special time, was completely thorough and responsive to any questions we had. He left no stone unturned. We really enjoyed how he got to know us as a couple and transform our story into our ceremony. It was truly a special and memorable day for sure. So happy we chose him and we would definitely recommend him for your ceremony.
We hired Jeremy for our 2020 wedding that eventually got postponed to 2021, but we still worked with Jeremy to have us legally married this year as well. Couldn't be happier with o...
ur experience or have asked for more from Jeremy. His professionalism and promptness took the stress and "guessing" out of one of the most important factors for a wedding.
Pastor Jeremy helped us to create the most beautiful wedding ceremony! He incorporated all elements we were looking for and really individualized the ceremony into a unique, fittin...
g and perfect display. He took the time to help guide us through the planning elements while learning about us as a couple. Above all.. he is extremely well spoken!
We had countless people tell us how much they loved hearing our story and what a great job Pastor Jeremy did! He was a big hit with all family and friends, and we couldn’t have been happier to have him as part of our special day. I highly recommend using Pastor Jeremy, you won’t be disappointed :)
We had Pastor Dave for our wedding ceremony since Pastor Jeremy was unavailable (we planned our wedding in a month - talk about stressful). I couldn't have been more pleased! He w...
as very professional, friendly, and accommodating! He was so easy to work with, and even provided us with some marriage license info.
What I loved most is how he worked with us closely to ensure our ceremony was exactly what we were hoping it would be. I wanted to ensure God was a big part of our wedding, and he incorporated the perfect Bible verses and anecdotes into the ceremony that gave it the reverential yet light-hearted vibe we were going for. He also made it personal to both me and my husband, sharing stories about how we met and why we love each other, which made my lip quiver as I held back tears. Afterwards, my family and friends said they loved how personal the ceremony was.
I have no regrets having Pastor Dave marry us! He was wonderful!
Jeremy was recommended by our venue. We had an in person meeting and he was so nice and knowledgeable from the get go. When COVID 19 hit, we were able to have a few other meetings ...
through zoom. He gave us a lot of information and choices for our ceremony, which was super helpful. He answered all of our questions throughout the process with care and in good time. He was always so positive throughout the process, especially when others were not always so positive.
Everything with Jeremy went so smoothly. He is so professional and has a lot of experience. We received a lot of positive feedback from our guests following the ceremony.
Getting married during a pandemic is hard, but Jeremy maid it easy. He helped us build the ceremony we wanted and then made sure everything went perfect the day of the wedding. We ...
couldn't have made a better choice, and we've already received so many compliments on how much people liked Jeremy and the ceremony.
Pastor Jeremy made our ceremony something we will never forget. Our guests raved about our ceremony including how intimate it was. Guests thought we knew Pastor Jeremy for years,...
but in reality we had only two Skype conversations customizing our entire ceremony. He really listened to what we wanted and couldn't have asked for a more beautiful and sentimental ceremony! It was truly our favorite part of our special day.

We had a few special elements that we wanted to incorporate into our ceremony and Pastor Jeremy helped us plan how it would all work best. On the day of everything went smoothly and was exactly how we envisioned. Many thanks!
