I don't even know where to begin. When my husband and I found out Duval County no longer performed ceremonies, we were stressing. Not only did we lose our officiant, we lost our space. At the last minute, we were scrambling for a contingent option -- then we found Dr. G.

Dr. G communicated with me via the chat on his website within minutes of me landing on his page. He immediately put my mind at ease, and I knew we were in good hands. He shared a ton of great options for us to get married (at no cost to us!) and made the whole process seamless.

While we completed his Questionnaire and spoke with Dr. G, we weren't sure exactly what to expect come time for the ceremony. We were BLOWN AWAY at how personable, warm and beautiful it was. Dr. G shined that day, and made us feel so special. We were wrapped up in his words, wrapped up in love, wrapped up in the beautiful moment of our marriage. Dr. G promises us that he would put us at ease -- and our ceremony would be one to remember -- and he was right.

The time may come when Nick and I want to renew our vows -- and when that day comes, I surely hope Dr. G is still sharing his talents so we can relive the magic he created for us.

I cannot recommend this man enough. If you want a PERFECT ceremony, call Dr. G!! More...

Where to begin... we found Dr G by the grace of God. We were overwhelmed by the planning process to begin with, but once we decided on Dr G we knew everything would be right. He was readily available for any questions we had along the way, and always reassuring that our day would be perfect (which it was to say the least.) He made everything about the ceremony itself feel like something that had been planned WELL in advance (not the case with us �) His comical, lighthearted demeanor was absolutely PERFECT for us, and his words were something both my husband and I won’t soon forget. Dr G far exceeded our expectations, and we hope anyone looking for the same services will be as lucky as us to have found him!! More...

Dr. G and the staff at TodayWeWed created a moment that I feel we would not have had with another wedding officiant. When he said he would write a ceremony that told our love story he means it and I think was as equally important was Dr. G's passion for what he does. His many years of experience came in quite handy as we had issues with one of the vendors and he stepped in and help work through the problems...this is a must use service! More...

"One of the greatest challenges of an interfaith marriage is in trying to satisfy both families. It is for this reason that we decided to use an officiant rather than a religious leader from either my faith (Jewish) or my husband's faith (Catholic). However; we still wanted a religious overtone that spoke to both faiths and Dr. Gaines accomplished this. His message was inspiring as he moved between the old and new Testaments focusing more on the meanings of the scriptures rather than where in the bible the versus resided. Thank you for filling this critical need and delivering a ceremony that will be with us for a lifetime." More...

I am from Nigeria and my husband and I were concerned that an American wedding officiant would not be able to capture who we are as a people and a culture. It must have been by the hand of God that I found Dr. Gaines because he has been an educator who specialized in culture and diversity. The result was a ceremony where both our Nigerian friends and family as well as our American friends were able to not only celebrate our special day, but learn something about the many people who attended and participated in our wedding day as well...Thank you so Much Dr. G!"

When I hired Dr. * to perform our wedding ceremony I had no idea what we would be getting.

Our life is now complete. Until the laws had changed allowing me and my husband to get married, we were imprisoned in a life without legal rights. Therefore, Tim and my union became critical both as a couple and as society moves forward. It is because of what our marriage represents, that our special day be conducted by a person that was empathetic to our needs and wants. To these ends, Dr. Gaines came through and although we were the center of the ceremony, he was a true leader that catered to us. We had trepidation hiring a straight officiant but let me tell you, three seconds into the ceremony the anxiety turned out to be not the time wasted thinking about it - he is truly an advocate for the Gay and Lesbian communities and Dr. G will be the first name that comes to mind as other friends decide to tie the knot.

I don't know if it is common for someone who helped plan a wedding to post feedback, but I was moved to do so. My friend Barbara asked me to help her in making the arrangements for her wedding. Hiring Dr. G was easy because he has conducted ceremonies for a number of our friends however; in this instance, he went above and beyond. Spencer often takes pictures of the ceremonies he officiates but for this event, he was trying out a new video camera. Maybe it was an act of the heavens, but the videographer's car broke down leaving no one to film the ceremony. When Dr. G found out he had the only video of the wedding, he sent what he shot to his video editor and then overnighted the finished product to Barbara...how many people would extend himself in that way? He was truly a lifesaver because there was a relative who was terminally ill and the video was the only way he could have seen the ceremony. In addition, the ceremony and loving words conveyed by Spencer created that special moment every couple dreams of - I only wish there was a greater word than thank you. " More...
