My Story

Hi! I am Reverend Jacob Sheppard and I am glad that you are here. In 2023, I married my incredible wife and was completely blown away by our ceremony. Our ceremony was performed by the marvelous Reverend Katherine Dupree (here is her site) and something about her ceremony lit a fire under me and I found something that I knew I would enjoy doing. So, under the guidance of Rev. Kath, I began to write and perform wedding ceremonies in 2024.

There is nothing I love more than providing my couples with the perfect ceremony that is completely unique to their love story. I take my time to get to know you as a couple and find out how you want your love to be conveyed during the ceremony. I became an officiant, because I want to give my couples an experience that they will remember for a lifetime. I am not only going to be your officiant, but also, your friend.

So if you are interested in having me as an officiant, don’t hesitate to reach out! I have experience in writing and performing traditional religious, non-denominational, non-traditional, Jewish, and interfaith weddings. If you have any cool wedding ceremony ideas, let’s talk and come up with the perfect ceremony for you and your partner! Can’t wait to meet you!
