Rev. Joe Glentz, a U.S. Army veteran, is one of the few midwest vendors on our list, so I was excited to feature him today!
Please tell us a little bit about your business.
I am a nondenominational wedding officiant and I perform wedding ceremonies that the couples I work with prefer. I meet with them in person or through the net and phone calls to put together a ceremony that they would like, whether it is religious, non religious or spiritual in its own way. No matter the reason that couples come to me, I am just glad that I can help them out on one of the happiest days of their lives.
What do you love about what you do?
I like meeting new people, visiting new places and seeing the many varied ways that couples like to celebrate their wedding day.
What do you love about working with gay couples?
I have only done 1 gay wedding so far. It was small and outdoors at a campground and a lot of fun. I also loved the comment I got in an email from the couple: “I don’t know about you, but it was the best wedding I have ever attended!!”
Do you have a favorite “moment” that happens while you’re doing your job?
Giving credit for the ceremony to the couple for choosing what they would like to do. I usually do this when someone tells me they like the ceremony or a certain portion of it.
