Pastor Jayson - Officiant and Helping Hand
I moved to the Smoky Mountains in August of 2019 from Fort Wayne, Indiana. A little more about me is that I am also a comedian, a DJ , a former pro wrestler and just about to publish my 1st children's book.
I am a husband to my soulmate , everytime I do a wedding i am taken back for a brief moment to the day she and I said “I do”.
I am a father to 4 sons who own my heart. I am also a son, and have a close relationship with my parents. I am a brother to 4 brothers and a sister. Family is so important to me, and that is just another reason I enjoy officiating elopements and weddings as it allows me to start you and your fiancé on your new journey as a family.
I love absolutely everything about elopements, especially when they are Effortless!
Not to say that a full blown knock it out of the park wedding extravaganza with bridesmaids, groomsmen, decorations and a reception with 200+ friends and family members isn't fun too but, there is something to be said about simply standing on the side of a mountain with a couple, overlooking the trees in the valley below or standing in that same beautiful valley surrounded by those very mountains and trees and just escaping the world for a moment, by creating a moment.....
I have to say that I feel like these moments are exceptionally better right here in what I call God's country.
I consider myself blessed to experience this right along with the couples who decide to elope here in the smokies....
The joy I receive by providing a ceremony joining two people in marriage over some heartfelt stories, some humor (if you like) and the spoken promises of 2 people reciting their vows to each other Just before I pronounce them as a married couple is one of the best things in my life that I get to do.
I would be honored to officiate on your special day with Effortless Elopements.
