August 20, 2026Pastor James Hamp was definitely a great asset to our wedding; not only because he was our officiant, but he fit in just like family. He’s nurtured in the word with knowing many teachings of the Bible from different views and religious backgrounds. He has great personality and is understanding of people and situations. We greatly appreciate him for being there on our big day and making it such a joy to create our union.

Thank you for your kinds words Crystal. It was truly my pleasure to serve you and Jay! The venue was gorgeous but the entire place lit up even more when you stepped out from behind those double doors looking like you stepped off the cover of Vogue or Essence. :) What a fantastic celebration!!! (even if it was so hot I almost jumped into the lake behind me) Thank you so much for choosing me to serve you. I do not take lightly the fact that you could have chosen anyone else but you chose lil ole me to be a part of your special day that will be remembered for years to come. Thank you so much and I pray you and the family are blessed beyond measure in whatsoever you put your minds and hearts to. Keep in touch!! <3

February 23, 2025Rev J R Hamp saved our big day and I’m so thankful he was available to marry us. He was on his way to officiate a wedding out of town and he made a quick stop to marry my husband and I were so grateful he did thank you again

July 18, 2023If you are looking for an officiant, defiantly book James Hamp, you won't be disappointed. He was very professional, light hearted, and kept us entertained throughout the ceremony. I got many great compliments
from the guests at the wedding.

Thank you so much Tiffany! I have to make one correction...definitely, not defiantly book me LOL I know that was a typo but Lord have mercy those two words make a big difference. hahaha On the serious note, I enjoyed sharing with you, your family and friends although it was hard to maintain composure while dealing with that crazy husband of yours. LOL He is definitely the life of the party!!! What an awesome celebration!! I pray you and David are blessed with many many years of love, peace and happiness. :)

December 27, 2022Reverend James Hamp was the perfect minister for our granddaughter’s wedding. He is warm and caring. During the planning stage he was available to answer questions. His soothing personality helped a nervous bride and groom feel comfortable and relaxed. We were fortunate to find him.

If you're looking for a dry straight-faced ceremony, please keep browsing....I love to make you laugh and have a GREAT time at your wedding. With nearly 600 ceremonies performed, you can also expect a friendly, courteous and very professional individual that will go above and beyond the call of duty to assist you on your wedding day. Whether your ceremony is religious or non-religious, my goal is to provide the most professional service available and ensure that your day is as stress-free and memorable as it can be. I have various ceremonies for you to choose from and each one can be adjusted to meet your needs.
Feel free to give me a call. I look forward to Marrying you soon :) I am available to travel throughout Georgia and beyond if needed.
Please be advised: As an ordained minister I only perform wedding ceremonies between a man and a woman. I do not perform same sex "commitment" ceremonies, "arranged" marriages (i.e. forced against a person's will), animal "weddings", or any other ceremony that is not recognized as legal in the state of Georgia and in accordance with the Holy Bible.
To insure our elderly hear everything and to allow me to add emphasis, emotion and lots of humor to the ceremony, I always carry my personal Lapel Mic. It can be plugged into your DJs System or the event's PA System. This is mostly used for larger weddings and events as well as outdoor events to insure everyone can hear clearly. If needed I will bring my personal amplifier if you do not have other equipment available. Please ask if you think you need this additional FREE service.
