About Jim's Ceremonies
A Celebration of Joy and Love with your Guests
Here's what we hear all the time:
"That was the most beautiful wedding I've ever seen!"
You will probably say that too.
Spiritual or religious or neither, devout or not,
agnostic or scientific in approach,
Jim will fit the words to YOUR beliefs ...
because Love is our most defining human characteristic.
Jim has two types of ceremonies he performs:
SPIRITUAL (for those who want some spirituality in their
ceremony, but don't want to be overwhelmed by talk of God)
and CIVIL (for those who don't want "God" mentioned
in their ceremony, but who do want it to be about LOVE).
To contact Jim,

or call him here in Florida at (239) 747-6172
Jim has officiated 3,000+ weddings
His goal is that the next one (yours) should be the best yet!
Jim is an ordained officiant/priest who understands that Divinity loves everybody equally and unequivocally. He has written 11 books on progressive spirituality (www.JamesHBurch.com), was seminary trained for 9 years and never stopped questioning and learning. He likes to think that he built on top of his spirituality with science. (So this is not his first rodeo!)
His ceremony honors every and all spiritual perspectives (or none), and uses language that fits you and your guests (yes ... atheists and agnostics included, because love makes us all one). Your great desire for your wedding ceremony
is that you can feel the love that the two of you share,
and that your guests can feel it also.
That's Jim's goal too, and it works.
He fits the ceremony to you by your choosing the selections you want in each section, and by fitting the words and concepts to you and your guests.

We can’t thank you enough for the beautiful, beautiful ceremony that you most thoughtfully performed for us! Not only do we continue to talk about it, but our guests were also particularly touched by it. The words and philosophy were so beautiful and touching! We couldn’t believe how perfectly it matched us and our lives ... it was as if we were speaking our hearts during the ceremony. Everyone thought it was the most beautiful, intimate and loving ceremony they’d ever witnessed! We agree wholeheartedly!

Andrew and I received so much good feedback about you on our wedding day as well as afterwards. People thought your homily was beautiful and that you did a wonderful job as officiant of our wedding. We both know we made the right choice when we met you. Even though you do so many weddings we felt you gave our ceremony its own special touch.
- Andrew and Margaret

Thank you so much for officiating at our wedding ceremony recently. It turned out just the way we envisioned and our families couldn’t be more pleased. I feel that your philosophy really helped to unite both the religious and non-religious guests at our wedding. Your experience and care really made a difference in our trust and peace of mind.
- Celia and Steve
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We can’t even come close to thanking you enough for the beautiful, loving ceremony you conducted on our wedding day. With all the details to attend to, we had almost lost sight of the real reason for the day. But your inspirational and, most of all, real, ceremony centered us, and grounded us, in a way we never thought possible.
- Judith and Fernando
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We want to thank you for a truly inspiring wedding ceremony. It was everything we had hoped for and more. You spoke what we felt in our hearts, yet had never quite voiced ourselves. Thank you for everything. Our family and friends were all very deeply moved and have commented time and again that it was the most beautiful ceremony they had ever been to.
- Patricia and Patrick
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you for making our wedding ceremony so unique and special. Including the children was a wonderful part we could have not done in a traditional Roman Catholic setting. Everything happens for a reason and we are extremely pleased that as our planning evolved we were led to you.
- Nicki and Mike

Christine and I express our deep appreciation for your encouraging support of our marriage and you r festive and warm ceremony … from the bottom of our hears, allow us to thank you for presiding over a wedding ceremony so beautiful and sincere that we hope it has set the tone for our entire marriage. … We truly loved every second of our ceremony, and we are both proud and thankful that a man with your convictions and beliefs officiated at our wedding.
- Christine and Christoph
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We want to thank you for making our wedding day absolutely wonderful, unforgettable and so so happy! The ceremony was absolutely great and didn’t leave anyone indifferent. All our guests were very impressed and in awe by what you have said. Everything about you – your wisdom, voice, poise, looks - made our ceremony so special. You found exactly the right words to express what we both feel for each other. We also were impressed how smoothly everything went – we didn’t have to worry about anything: your kind voice, reassuring look and smile throughout the whole ceremony made us both feel taken care of. If there are angels on the Earth – you definitely are one of them. Your kindness, love and warmth are radiating throughout everything you do or say making people around you feel the part of your world full of love and care. Blessed and honored be the couples whom you will marry in the future for they will be the fortunate ones to witness and share in the most unforgettable and sacred ceremony in their lives.

Thank you so much for such a lovely ceremony. I hope you had as much fun as we did! :) Our families and guests were very impressed with the ceremony; we couldn't have asked for a better, more all-encompassing wedding. Let me know if you would like us to write a recommendation, or sign a guest book for other prospective brides and grooms.
- Shannon and Don

Rather belatedly, we wanted to thank you so much for making our wedding such a very special and beautiful occasion. I think you will agree that the setting was perfect, surrounded by nature, all those glorious trees filtering in the sunlight. What memories we all have. We felt that, with such short notice, you put together the most perfect ceremony for us and all our family and friends. Once again, thank you so very much and may God bless you in you work - it meant so much to me personally to have such a spiritual side to our marriage ceremony - it is a new beginning for us both and we are so happy.

Karly and David really wanted their ceremony to be something special. They sincerely felt after meeting you that you were the person to provide the ceremony they longed to have. I am so pleased that they were correct in their feelings. Their ceremony was truly unique and special. You may not know that David is a Dartmouth graduate and his college friends are terribly bright. …they were so impressed, I had to chuckle … you pleased people on multiple levels. Thank you for your patience, care and concern.
- Mother of the bride

Our ceremony on Saturday was beautifully delivered and intellectually inspired. Our guests literally gushed at your articulate message and we are thrilled that we managed to get you to officiate at our wedding. If you can satisfy my devout Catholic Long Island mother-in-law and the mainstream Protestants, you're doing something right. The inclusive message you delivered on Saturday particularly appeals to me. Thanks again for the wonderful ceremony.

We really appreciate the letter you wrote us and really took the words to heart. The certificate you created will proudly be displayed in our home. We also really appreciate you giving us a copy of the ceremony.
- Claire and Jeremy
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The process was made easier with you participating. The best thing about your ceremony service was your patience and grace under pressure. Starting late and unorganized at the beginning – it all became invisible to us and our guests just in time for our ceremony to proceed beautifully. Thanks to your leadership on top of your patience and grace, our ceremony was a success! We thank you so much for everything!
- Catherine and Michael
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My wife Linda and I were extremely happy with the wedding service that Rev. Jim Burch performed for us in August, 2004 at our home in Burke, VA. Linda, who is Catholic and I, who am Jewish, met with Jim prior to the ceremony. We asked him to perform a service that was intimate and that spoke to us about the positive power and energy surrounding us and that reflected the fact that our one God was looking down and blessing our union.
What Rev. Burch provided was exactly what we asked for. He demonstrated a flexibility and understanding of our situation that put both of us as at ease during our first meeting with him and that carried through to our marriage ceremony. We strongly recommend Rev. Burch as a contemporary spiritual leader and wedding master of ceremonies.
- Stephen and Linda
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We wanted to take a moment to nominate our wedding officiant, Rev. Jim Burch from Clifton, VA, as deserving of recognition in your January wedding industry issue.
My husband and I were married at Wakefield Chapel in Annandale, VA. Early in our planning process, we knew that we wanted our wedding ceremony to have the classic spiritual wedding touches, but not to be overly religious, as neither of us belonged to a certain religion or church. We wanted our officiant to be friendly and personable, someone who would take the time to get to know us in order to be able to personalize our ceremony to ourselves and our families. We had already met with a few people before I happened across Rev. Burch's website, www.weddingceremony.org.
Rev. Burch was a real pleasure to work with. We met with him a couple of times before our wedding to get to know one another, and to discuss our feelings on marriage, family, religion and life in general. He gave us a "workbook" of wedding passages, customs, and verses to review and worked with us to customize our wedding ceremony. He was also very good about making sure our prospective family issues were handled gracefully.
Our wedding day began rather dreary and drizzly. Rev. Burch arrived early and made sure that everyone knew their cues and places, and patiently answered all our last minute questions. Before we knew it, it was time to go.
Despite the weather, and the bridal party starting late, everything went flawlessly. We received more compliments on our ceremony than any other aspect of our day. Many of our guests we spoke with later that day told us that our officiant had done a fabulous job creating such a beautiful and intimate service. Rev. Burch's remarks were loving, inspirational, and uplifting, and really touched me as I stood there looking at the man I was marrying. After the ceremony, Rev. Burch presented us with a keepsake certificate signed by our wedding party, which I thought was a sweet touch.
We couldn't have been more pleased with him, and I absolutely recommend Rev. Burch to anyone who is looking for an officiant.
- D'Arcey and Justin

Thank you so much for celebrating our wedding with us. Everyone commented on how lovely the ceremony was and you were a key reason behind those feelings. We will remember you always.

Rev. Jim Burch performed a wonderful ceremony for our wedding held at the St. Regis Hotel in Washington, DC. Many of our family and guests commented on how much they enjoyed his homily on love and the joining of two people. My husband and I truly appreciated his very professional approach to our wedding. His guidance before and during the ceremony helped make our wedding a great success.
Thank you,
Elise and RoB

We want to thank you so very much for all you did to make our wedding … so personally meaningful, beautiful and memorable. Your words were inspiring and spoke to all who were present, and your warm and friendly manner made all of us feel at ease – even though our two hearts were racing! Our families and friends who were there have all commented on how touching the ceremony was, and those who could not be present have been moved in watching the video. In short, it was perfect for us, and you made it so!

- Ray and Kim
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Steve and I wanted to take a moment to tell you how much we loved our wedding ceremony! You did such a great job incorporating our wishes and the small details for us. You made it fun & entertaining for our guests, but still very meaningful and serious with regard to our love and our responsibilities to building a successful marriage. Your way of expressing that love crosses all boundaries of different religions was a perfect fit for our group. No matter how an individual refers to God, the Spirit, Yahweh etc., we all have the same goal and purpose with love and relationships! We received tons of great feedback on how sincere, beautiful and emotional our ceremony was and we can't thank you enough!
- Steve & Stacey

We also very much enjoyed your company and hope you had a wonderful time as well.

The words and promises of our ceremony and the letter you sent will always stay in our hearts and minds. Amy truly enjoyed all of the conversations with you … It was great to meet someone who has such similar views on God. She truly believes that God led us to you for the ceremony and feel so blessed that He did. Thank you again for everything. We wish you and your family a joyous, happy, peaceful and wonderful life!

Thank you so much for giving us a beautiful ceremony. We’re really glad that you were part of our special day.
- Aleitha and Vinson
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We wanted to thank you for making our special day that much more special. Your homily was truly inspirational and had us and the audience not only captivated, but in another place, which was exactly what we wanted, but thought was not possible. We have been to several weddings over the last year or two and no priest or officiant has been better received. We can’t tell you how many people have come up and asked us where we found you and raved how absolutely inspirational the ceremony was. People who had long turned their backs on organized religion came up and said, “Man, that guy had me on the edge of my seat, hanging off of every word that he uttered. I just wanted to hear what he was going to say next.” … You truly made our special day that much more perfect, and we could not have asked for more.
- Rebecca and Ryan

We are back from our honeymoon and wanted to send you our heartfelt thanks for the beautiful wedding ceremony you did for us on Nov. 10. Everything flowed so nicely and we received many comments on how beautiful and meaningful it was. One of our friends has a daughter getting married in June of 2013 and called her immediately after the ceremony to let her know how perfect you would be for her wedding, so hopefully they will contact you. If it works out, we will see you again for their wedding. :) It was a pleasure working with you and we really appreciate the special touches you add, such as the marriage certificate signed by our wedding party, and a copy of the entire ceremony. Thanks again for making our big day so very special!

It’s amazing how fast time flies when you’re married! JTomas and I wanted to thank you for making our ceremony so wonderful. It really was just so great, and really hit on what each of us needed that day. Tomas and I were both surprised at the sheer level of love we felt that day from everyone around us, and I know that it was your doing to set it off on such a loving note!
