Endorsements
"I worked with Marty on Sunday. He was absolutely wonderful. He helped helped the bride and groom relax and was not cheesy. The ceremony was flawless. I was most impressed by how Marty made it so personal. This isn't my first time to work with Love Notes and I hope it is not my last. There is a reason they have over 50 reviews and an overall 4.9 ranking!"
"The Love Notes team is a group of caring individuals who strive to make your wedding ceremony memorable and completely personal. Over the years, I have worked with many of the ministers on staff and have never been disappointed. Their professionalism, attention to details, and caring attitude have always been top notch. There are few things I enjoy more than discovering that I will be working with a Love Notes minister at my weddings because it means that I will laugh, cry, and really get to know something about the couple."
"Our string quartet has played at many weddings at which Marty officiated. His services are never dull. Appropriate wisdom is offered, and usually a touch of his unique humor to keep everyone relaxed. He always checks with us to make sure that the music and ceremony are perfectly coordinated. He also seems to be very flexible and adept at personalizing the service for each client."
"Simply put...We love Love Notes. Marty and all his wonderful staff of officiants are the epitome of professionalism. A rehearsal and wedding ceremony with Love Notes is guaranteed to be nothing but smooth and fun. The Wildwood Inn is pleased and honored to be able to recommend Love Notes to each bride that walks in our door, and we highly recommend that you do the same."
"A fabulous choice for your once in a lifetime minister. It's easy to see why Marty is so busy, he conducts ceremonys like a professional. He knows just how to add a little bit of humor to take the tension out of the groom or bride and doesn't feel he has to talk and talk. He's to the point, and simply the best choice I've seen for anyone looking to hire a minister to marry them! I sat down to lunch with Marty recently, and the biggest reason I can think of, for why he does such a great job, is that he is genuine and simply cares about others ahead of himself. "

We hired Mike immediately after meeting with him. He was caring, funny and felt like a lifelong family friend after only speaking for about 30 minutes.

He was prompt and professional during our ceremony and kept us smiling the whole time.

I'm still receiving complements on him to this day. I definetly recommend LoveNotes and Mike R.

I am so glad that my mom found Love Notes because we were able to have the perfect words and the perfect ceremony. Love Notes gave us a book that Marty Younkin wrote. It had a lot of different types of ceremonies and readings in it. Then we chose which parts we wanted. The variety was great and it really allowed us to pick and choose to make the ceremony a perfect fit for us. I recommend them to anyone.
Our family has a lot of different religious back grounds and all of our families beliefs are a little different from my husband and mine. But I felt that with Love Notes, I was able to choose the perfect words for everyone. So that all of our family enjoyed the ceremony and there was nothing said that was not true to us at the same time. The ceremony was tailor fit and we helped make it, or at least it felt that way.

Love Notes helped make our day perfect. When we weren't 100% happy with our first officiant, Marty quickly found us another one. He was even really nice about it and seemed concerned with our connection with the "right" officient.
After we met with Dennis, we knew he was the right one for us. He spend several hours getting to know us, and even telling us about himself.
My husband & I really enjoyed being able to plan out and design our ceremony. I'm pretty sure it was one of our favorite parts of the wedding planning. Love Notes had several great options for us to choose from, and they even were accomidating to anything extra or special we wanted to add in.
During the ceremony, Dennis was perfect! He keep the ceremony light, but still sweet. All the guests were really impressed and I had several people ask where we met him. He helped make our day PERFECT!

Doug and I do not belong to a church, and so we didn't know who was going to marry us! Marty was the most flexible, easy-going, professional officiant we met with! I have gotten to know Marty over the past few months, and he has become a very special member of our wedding party and family! Marty allowed us to personalize our ceremony to fit exactly our style...including dogs and animal rescue!

The biggest compliment we received from the entire ceremony and reception was, "Who was the guy that married you guys?! He was amazing!" We told Marty we did not want a mushy, tearful ceremony, and it was perfectly balanced! Just when he would get to a serious, solemn part of the ceremony, he would crack a joke or tell a story about us so that no one in attendance was crying. He was not monotone or boring, and is such a great person to help ease your nerves!

Marty Younkin and LoveNotes truly exceeded our high expectations set for an officiant. Never in my wildest dreams would I have expected almost EVERY person at our wedding to come up personally and state how AMAZING our officiant was. All of our guests were truly moved by how he performed the ceremony!

Randy from LoveNotes did an excellent job helping us design the wedding of our dreams. Usually words in a wedding ceremony are so overused and uninspired. With LoveNotes and the help from Randy we selected each part of the wedding to fit us and our love. It ended up better than we ever expected. We would highly recommend using them.

One of my favorites. Our pastor was amazing and took the time we spent with him to get to know us and make our wedding service personal and beautiful. They are a great price and very considerate. He even called to ask me what I'd like him to wear and I couldn't have been happier. The same pastor also married my best friend and her husband. Love notes was a referral from her and I was fortunate enough to get the same pastor she had. I would highly recommend them!

Mike Ryherd from Love Notes did an AMAZING job on our wedding! No one could believe we'd only met him once before the wedding and that was at the rehearsal! The handbook they provided made it so easy to plan our wedding ceremony and had a variety of different wording options to choose from but still left room to personalize it to fit our style. Everything went so smoothly and we couldn't be happier with how things turned out!
