Let me tell you something—after 37 years on the road, doing stand-up across the country, opening for legends, headlining Vegas, and roasting more celebrities than a Comedy Central special, I never thought I’d be the one saying, “By the power vested in me...” But here I am—still making people laugh, still holding a mic, and now... marrying couples legally in the great state of Tennessee.
Wait, a comedian... turned wedding officiant?
Yep. And not just any wedding officiant. I’m talking about a one-man show that blends heartfelt vows with humor, love, and just enough edge to keep Grandma awake but not offended (well... usually). At Legally Yours, I offer traditional ceremonies, mobile notary services, comedy-infused weddings, roast-style nuptials, and even the occasional “from ‘I Do’ to ‘I Don’t’” divorce ceremony. Why? Because life isn’t one-size-fits-all—and neither is love, or laughter.
Comedy was the training ground. Officiating is the main event.
Comedy taught me timing, presence, and how to read a room—skills that come in handy when your bride is nervous, the groom's sweating bullets, and Aunt Linda just tripped over the runner. Whether it's a backyard bash in Franklin, a formal affair in Nashville, or a last-minute elopement on the fly, I know how to keep it smooth, fun, and real.
Notary by day, nuptials by night.
When I'm not officiating, I’m notarizing. Wills, contracts, loan signings—you name it. I bring the same energy and professionalism whether I’m stamping a signature or sealing a kiss with a punchline. Legally Yours is about making it official, making it easy, and yeah, making it memorable.
So, what’s next?
More love stories, more laughs, more Tennessee sunsets. I’m proud to offer full-service notary and officiant options across Middle Tennessee—with a little Vegas flair, a lot of heart, and a whole lifetime of showbiz behind the mic.
If you're ready to book a wedding that’s unforgettable for all the right reasons, or you just need a mobile notary who shows up on time and doesn’t make it weird—I'm your guy.
Because with Legally Yours, it’s not just legal.It’s personal.
