Pagan & Alternative Wedding FAQs

Yes. Jim, the founder of J2 Event Audio, is an eclectic pagan who follows Welsh Wicca and Norse paganism. This part of our work is here so pagan, earth-centered, and path-diverse couples can plan with a team that already understands the care those celebrations deserve.

We also know these weddings are still sometimes met with misunderstanding. You do not have to explain or defend your path to us. We will follow your lead on the beliefs, language, rituals, and symbols that belong in your day, and we will not assume any particular tradition, including handfasting, belongs in every celebration.

Yes, and we'd love to hear about yours. J2 Event Audio welcomes pagan, alternative, and non-traditional celebrations. We provide professional DJ, MC, ceremony audio, and reception entertainment, and we work with your officiant, your timeline, and your music so your ceremony and reception feel like yours.

No. Your officiant leads your ceremony. We provide the ceremony audio, play the music you've chosen for each moment, and work with your officiant and your timeline so everything flows the way you've planned.
