Crafting Timeless Wedding Experiences for your love story

Telling your love story, your way

Looking for a wedding officiant in Nashville or Middle Tennessee? I’ve got you covered.

I’m Eric A. Patton, a seasoned officiant based in Nashville, Tennessee. I’ve had the joy of marrying hundreds of couples. LGBTQ+ and straight, spiritual and secular, wild and traditional... all across the region. Whether you’re planning months ahead or tying the knot on a whim, I’m here to make your ceremony feel personal, grounded, and full of heart.

With over 600 ceremonies since 2019, I stay busy running all over Middle Tennessee. Want a backyard wedding? Let’s go. How about a massive barn wedding back in the woods? Yes, please! Want to swing by my office because you’ve got to get this done? Drop on by.

If you’re in love and ready to commit, I’d be honored to help you celebrate it.

A Ceremony That's About You.

Full Stop.

I'm an ordained minister, and my faith is real. But here's what my faith actually calls me to do: show up for people. All people. Without condition, without judgment, and without making anyone feel like they have to earn their place at the altar.

That means I've officiated ceremonies for LGBTQ+ couples, interfaith couples, couples with no religious affiliation at all, and everything in between. I don't bring an agenda to your ceremony; I bring your story.

If you want God in the room, we'll invite God in. If you want a completely secular celebration, we'll do that. If you're somewhere in the middle still figuring it out, that's fine too. My job isn't to tell you what your wedding should look like. My job is to listen to what you want and make it happen.

You should walk away from your ceremony feeling like it was exactly, completely, 100% yours. That's the only thing I'm trying to accomplish.
