About this vendor
I am an ordained non-denominational christian minister, officiating wedding ceremonies and vow renewals in Southwest Florida. I was ordained in 2014 and moved here from the Atlanta, GA area in 2016. Summer 2017, my business really took off and I have been quite busy ever since. Once you decide to hire me, we will plan a complimentary session to talk about everything that goes into making your wedding special. I have many ideas for you to select from to get started creating the ceremony that you have always dreamed about. I don't charge for emails or phone calls, so if you have questions, just let me know. My fees are pretty much dependent on the location of the ceremony and how far I have to travel. I promise, you will NOT be disappointed.

You never know what you’re going to get when you hire a vendor sight unseen. We were matched with Weddings by Gerard through our wedding planner and we were THRILLED! Weddings by Gerard was absolutely awesome! Gerard helped us plan out our ceremony and he even thought enough to ask our wedding colors so he matched in the pictures! He was professional and lovely and personable to our family and friends. But most importantly, he spoke beautifully on our wedding day. Just everything we could have hoped for. We feel so lucky!
Gerard was the perfect officiant! We were so happy to have him with us on our special day. He customized our ceremony script to fit our needs and was there for our wedding rehearsal as well. Thanks so much, Gerard!
Gerard was GREAT to work with! He was a great communicator and really helped us customize our ceremony for what we were picturing. Had a beautiful ceremony and wouldn’t have changed a thing!
Absolutely loved how Gerard preformed our ceremony! He was so engaging and honored what we wanted as couple. Such a great ceremony!
Gerard was a pleasure to have apart of our wedding day! He created an absolutely beautiful ceremony and we were very lucky to have him.
GERARD was amazing! We planned our Ft Myers wedding from afar and he was very accommodating to meet us while we were in town for a short weekend. His communication was on point throughout our planning and he even gave us several recommendations of readings, vows, etc. He was a half hour early to our rehearsal and on our big day, dressed to impress, and performed great personable words for our ceremony! We very much recommend him. Thanks again!
Gerard did a wonderful job officiating at our wedding. He was very open to allowing us to put our signature on our ceremony. After our wedding, Gerard offered to have our marriage license filed for us at tne county. We would highly recommend Gerard services!!
Gerard was amazing!! We had a casual wedding on a boat-access only island and he traveled by car and boat to be with us. He fit in with our group like he was family. He made the planning process so simple and organized. He traveled an hour just to meet us personally and talk details. The ceremony was perfect. He made it very personable and sweet. It was the best day of our lives and Gerard was a huge part of that. We would recommend him to anyone.
Gerard was very helpful with emails about recommendations as we were out of towners. He met us before our wedding day and made us feel very comfortable. We were glad we found him. On our big day we were not disappointed. He surprised me with my favorite passage from Corinthians! He was a wonderful part of our small wedding and our family. We will look Gerard and his wife up whenever we come down to this part of Florida. Not only did he make our day momentous but we made a special friend! Thank you, Gerard!
If we could give him 100 stars, we would! If you're looking for someone to make this day more than special... you definitely have found him! He made my day definitely something to remember. He was patient and calm, which made me keep calm. I was late to my own wedding but my mother wast late a full hour and he waited patiently was very professional. The ceremony was beyond beautiful it was very hard to not cry. Everyone loved him and he definitely left a lasting impression on everyone. Trust me you will not regret it.
Can't say enough about our experience with Gerard!
He was very responsive to all our questions, he offered options and recommendations and was very open to our requests to make 2 families and 2 languages blend on a beautiful ceremony.
Gerard took the time to meet us in person, before the ceremony to go thru every detail and make sure things were ready to flow.
We are so happy he was with us in our special day, it was like having a dear friend joining our wedding!!
Gerard was very professional from the first meeting to the day of the wedding. He gave us multiple options as to what we wanted him to say and walked us through the whole process. On the day of, Gerard tied everything together with his very warm and charming personality. Most of the ceremony is a blur to me because I was sobbing like a baby during my vows. Gerard is amazing and I hope that I have the pleasure of seeing him at another persons wedding.
We honestly couldn’t have imagined anyone more perfect to officiant our wedding. Gerard was quick to respond, friendly, and patient. After the ceremony we got sidetracked taking pictures and he kindly waited for us to finish. He performed the ceremony just the way we wanted and included inserts that I had found myself. He was great!!!
Gerard preformed the most beautiful ceremony for my husband and I! It took so long to find the perfect officiant! He really made us feel comfortable and always got right back to me when I had questions or concerns! He’s so caring and easy going! Incredibly easy to talk too!!! I felt like I knew him my whole life! Even when I was freaking out he found a way to make me feel better! He made our ceremony so special! He’s forever apart of our hearts and we are just so thankful for him!
Gerard went out of his way to make sure our wedding day was perfect. He's very professional and good at what he does. Not only has he given my wife a gift in marring us, he also gave us a gift in a life long friendship.
