Jason Berthiaume

Owner

Twelve years ago, I exchanged vows with my bride Christina at our unforgettable wedding ceremony, customized and performed by one of our closest friends. This experience inspired me to assist couples in capturing their own love stories and creating their perfect ceremony. I want to make sure you feel like I got it "just right"!

Why I may be the perfect choice for your wedding.

I love being in front of an audience! I was an actor in college, receiving a Bachelor's in Education: Communication and Theatre Arts, as well as an MBA degree. As a high school drama teacher and theatre director, my job is to make sure performances are properly prepared for and expertly delivered. As a speech teacher and debate coach, I demonstrate for my students the most effective and persuasive communication techniques in order to leave a lasting impression. I cannot wait to give my everything to start your happily ever after!

I am honored to have officiated the weddings of all three of my younger sisters over the past three years, a truly special experience that has deepened my passion for celebrating love and commitment. These personal milestones have given me a unique perspective on what it means to be part of such an important day, and they've only strengthened my desire to create meaningful, personalized ceremonies for couples embarking on their own journeys together.

For the past 12 years, I have been happily married to my beautiful wife. We exchanged vows at The Whitney, a historic mansion in Detroit, and our journey together continues to inspire me every day. This personal experience gives me a deep understanding of the significance of your wedding day—how it's more than just a ceremony, but a powerful moment that marks the beginning of a new chapter.

As a professor at both Oakland University and Columbia University in New York, I am skilled at articulating ideas in a way that captures the attention of all audiences. Whether in a classroom or during your ceremony, I know how to communicate with clarity and warmth, ensuring your love story resonates with every guest.

I would be absolutely thrilled to be a part of your special day and to help you create a ceremony that reflects your unique love and commitment. Together, we'll make your celebration as memorable and meaningful as it should be.
