Introduction

Happy Wedding Day! Hi, my name is Jay Dorfman. First, let me congratulate you on your special day. Please keep in mind that each pro is paying for your lead, and all I ask is that you reply. I am a licensed, non-denomination wedding minister/officiant in Texas. I cover the Dallas, Ft. Worth, and the surrounding areas. You might ask why I chose to do this, and my answer is, I just love being able to share with couples one of the most important and happiest days of their lives. I originally got ordained and licensed to marry my oldest daughter many years ago after she asked if I would perform her ceremony. Since then, I have officiated hundreds of ceremonies, including two of my other children. Because I enjoy making the day special for you, I will take the time to work to make your day special. I have been a part of the “wedding world” most of my life. My family were caterers, and I grew up helping my dad and mom pretty much from the time I could walk. The day you get married should be one of the happiest days in your life, and my goal is to make it as special and meaningful as it can be. I will work with you to customize the ceremony to be a reflection of your unique and special relationship, to ensure you are completely satisfied with your ceremony. There are so many items on the pre-wedding checklist to get accomplished and completed before the wedding day arrives. Let me help you check off finding your officiant. I truly believe that one’s wedding day should be a happy one and a day you will remember for the rest of your life. I would love to work with you to create the ceremony that you dreamed of. I do not do cookie-cutter ceremonies but instead, I speak with you and together, we work to tailor the ceremony to be a reflection of your special relationship, customizing what is included whether that is a unity ceremony, special stories, and accolades, children or even that special furry friend My only goal is to ensure your wedding day is yours and it is a day you won’t forget together we can create the ceremony of your dreams. Please read my reviews below and see what I can help you with. Dates are only held and confirmed with signed contracts and deposits. I do not charge a travel charge or hourly. Thank you for looking me up. Jay Dorfman

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

If you are needing anything special we can talk more about it such as any special clothing or theme that you are wanting. My price is for the ceremony if I am needed to attend the rehearsal then there is a extra fee. I do not charge a mileage fee. I can work with you on specific needs.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

First I like to talk with the couple to get to know what they are about and what type of ceremony they are wanting. Then I can write a draft ceremony for them to look over and give me feedback. If they are looking for something specific we can work together to get it done. Its your day make it that.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

I am ordained in the state of Texas to do any type of wedding services you are wanting. I have preformed several hundred wedding & recommitment ceremonies over the years.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

When I was growing up and my family was in the catering business doing weddings. I took a interest in how happy a day it was for all. I just like seeing the happy couples.

What types of customers have you worked with?

I have work with both first timers and second marriages, recommitment & anniversaries . I also do same sex marriages. I even did a comical wedding ceremony that the bride wanted.

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

last wedding I did was a outside wedding and it was a western theme. Had my jeans and hat on for the ceremony. And wrote a special ceremony that included the children. It took about a week to get setup.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

make sure the pro knows what you are expecting from them. Make sure your pro stays in touch with you. I always reach out the week of to check in and make sure there where no last minute changes that where not addressed. And again the day of to check in.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

Ask if your pro about them self. Have they work at the venue you are looking at. Do they charge extra for things? When do they get to the location day of. Are they listening to your wants and thoughts? Ask if you want them to be dressed any special way. Make sure your day is about you and its the day you dreamed of. Make a list of questions you want to ask. Look at their reviews and see what others are saying.
