Jason Helmlinger
Jason has been a licensed, ordained pastor since 2009 and has spent more than a decade crafting and officiating wedding ceremonies that are intentional, meaningful, and deeply personal. His work is centered on creating a calm, grounded experience for couples as they step into one of the most significant moments of their lives.
He has had the distinct honor of officiating his oldest son’s wedding, an experience that further deepened his appreciation for the weight and beauty of the wedding ceremony and the lifelong commitment it represents.
Jason and his wife, Mandy, are celebrating over 29 years of marriage and have built a life rooted in faith, family, and resilience. Together they are the proud parents of four children—two adult sons, two adult daughters, and two grand daughters.
In addition to his work as a wedding officiant, Jason is the owner of a trauma counseling practice, where he brings extensive experience supporting couples and first responders through complex life experiences. His counseling background informs a grounded, steady presence with the couples he serves, particularly in moments of transition and significance.
Jason is currently a doctoral candidate in Traumatology at Liberty University, where his advanced studies continue to deepen his expertise in trauma-informed care, relational resilience, and human behavior under stress.
