Greetings. Congratulations & best wishes for your upcoming wedding ceremony.
My name is Reverend George Herzog. My primary function, by choice, as an
interfaith minister has always been as wedding officiant. I began in 1996, after
graduating from the New Seminary, where I received my MSC (Minister of Spiritual
Counseling) training and degree. I was then spiritually ordained by members of
the clergy and just as importantly, legally registered at the New York City
Clergy Records Office, authorizing me to legalize all marriages, by signing and
handling of the marriage license. My BA major is psychology and Masters Degree
is Western Thought. Although I am a down-to-earth guy (most couples call me
Rev. George), I mention these qualifications because I believe that they add
knowledge, expertise, and depth to my service.
I welcome couples of all faiths, races, and belief systems, from totally
non-denominational to any degree of any religion. This is in accord with my own
philosophies and world views, which require love, friendship, and respect for
each other as the main requirements for marriage.
I have officiated approximately two hundred ceremonies, and treated each one as
the individual and special occasion that it was. I did this by offering the
following: initial email or telephone consultation; complimentary meeting in
person; all help in creating the ceremony exactly according to your wishes; all
information about-and handling and mailing of-the marriage license; and the
promise of a personal, heartfelt, clearly organized and delivered ceremony. A
sense of humor helps, too. I am middle-aged, experienced, and handle each
couple's wedding in a mature and responsible manner, and appreciate the couple
having the same integrity.
Overall, if you are of different faiths or races; if you are of the same faith
but are not desirous of a traditional "religious" ceremony, which could be
provided by your minister of your place of worship; if you want a spiritual,
romantic, or civil ceremony; if you want a part in creating your own ceremony
(with help from me wherever needed or requested), if you want to hold the
ceremony at any location of your choice, indoors or outdoors; if any of the
above applies to you, then I am here for you.
