Endorsements
"Looking for someone for your ceremony and can't decide. Call Love Notes they will not let you down."
"Rev. Marty Younkin was absolutely, hands down, the best I have ever heard. He was professional, confirmed all the Brides preferences one last time before the Ceremony and kept it upbeat and heartfelt the entire service. I even have a photo of him shedding a tear during the sermon. He brings so much more to the table than anyone else I have ever seen officiant. Laura Parker, Fairy Tale Photography"
"I have been working with LoveNotes for several years and they always bring a sense of warmth and decorum to every wedding. They make the couple feel at ease and that reflects in the photographs. Anytime you can make a bride and groom relaxed on their wedding day you know you've done a great job. Marty and his company are a pleasure to work with."
"We have had the opportunity of having Marty and many of his Officiates perform ceremonies at our facility. I am always excited when our couples choose such a professional group as Love Notes. Everything just seems to flow so smoothly. From the Rehearsal to the Recessional, Marty and his group will take care of the couple and make sure they have the wedding ceremony they have always dreamed of having."
"Marty actually married us! So, we love Marty... and now that we get to work weddings together it is so much fun. We would totally recommend Marty to anyone. He is funny, witty, and willing to let the bride (or parents or whomever has the biggest opinion) dictate not only the words, but also the atmosphere of the ceremony. You will not be disappointed! "

Carol Sage is the best. She made our ceremony one that I will never forget. From the first call I made to the day of everything was great. When we meet her she wanted to hear all about our story. We needed some help with music and gave us great advice and made sure that what we wanted in the ceremony was there. Everyone who came to the wedding said that that was the best they have heard. She made us laugh and cry. I had some family issues that might have caused a hickup in the wedding, but she helped to make sure it was great. Please call them, if you don't you will regret it.

I have known Marty for a while in a professional capacity -- I am a wedding photographer, and had seen him perform many ceremonies. So when it came time for *my* wedding he's the first person I thought of! On our wedding day he was very calming when I was ruffled about running a little late. In general you know you're in good hands, because Marty is great at what he does and I had no doubts he would peform my ceremony wonderfully -- and he did! As a bonus note I love being the photographer at weddings he performs, because he knows how to gently position the bride and groom to get the best ceremony pictures!

One thing that surprised me was that my husband, who was very sweetly emotional during the ceremony, even managed to choke Marty up a tiny bit. I thought that was awesome -- you know he's really in the moment with you as the bride and groom, and not just walking through the part.

Marty provides you with a wonderful workbook that he wrote, which features many different types of ceremonies -- religious, non-religious, second marriages, etc. You can either choose a ceremony in its entirety, or pick and choose the different elements (vows, ring exchange, blessing...) and combine them in your own very customized ceremony.

We got TONS of compliments from our guests on how beautiful the ceremony was, and how Marty was the best minister they'd ever heard perform a wedding. You won't be disappointed, I promise!

I had been to a wedding about 10 years ago where they were married by a minister from Love Notes. I always knew I wanted to use them for our wedding. I contacted love notes and received a prompt response. We scheduled a time to meet with Russ Donley. Following our meeting we decided we wanted him to marry us. He made our ceremony a memorable one and added that special touch. I would recommend anyone to check in to love notes.

Marty was UNBELIEVABLE. He was friendly, kind, funny, personable, professional, and full of personality!! He made my wedding so special and made sure everything was perfect for me. At the reception, all that my guests wanted to talk about was Marty. They asked where I found him at and told me that it was the BEST wedding ceremony that they had EVER been to. He definitely made my wedding!!! I would HIGHLY recommend him for anyone! He is very flexible, and puts his whole heart into his job. He doesn't even read his lines. You can really tell that he truly enjoys what he does, and everything is so heartfelt. You can't go wrong with Marty Younkin!!!!

I highly recommend Lovenotes as your ceremony officiant. Marty Younkin is a very likable guy who will bring humor and laughter to your ceremony. He met with me prior to go over all the details which is a must! His take charge personality during our rehearsal made everything flow much more smoothly!! You will not be disappointed!!

Love Notes will match you with the perfect minister for your ceremony. We met with Mike and straight away knew he would make the perfect addition to our wedding.
He went out of his way to meet with us several times so that we would feel comfortable when the big day came.
He had the perfect mix of humor and seriousness at the rehearsal. You really feel like he enjoys his job.
We had many compliments from our guests on his job well done.
You can't go wrong with a Love Notes minister.

Marty Younkin was excellent! We met with him a few times before the wedding and was helpful in the planning process. He was unavailable for our rehearsal so antoher minister filled in - it ended up being fine. We are still getting comments from guests on how great he was. We would recommend to anyone.

We had Mike Ryherd with Love Notes as our wedding officiant. As soon as we met him, we knew he was our guy. He is flexible, outgoing, and an overall great guy. Love Notes gave us the opportunity to make our ceremony our own. We got to choose every segment of the ceremony, and Mike was amazing at making sure we had the day we wanted. We both highly recommend this company, especially for those who don't belong to a church. They will work with you to make your day perfect.

Wow, I can't thank love notes clergy service enough for their professionalism and hard work. Rev Keith Long officiated our wedding, we met with him ahead of time to be sure he was suitable to our needs as a couple and we would enjoy his presence on our special day. Keith was amazing, We were so pleased with him and we felt he was not only our officiant on the biggest day of our lives but a friend we will forever cherish. I made sure to order a picture of us with Keith so I will have in my photo album for years to come. Keith is highly recommended in my book and did an outstanding job. He arrived early, was professional and even my parents thought very highly of him.Thank you Keith for performing our ceremony and make it such an amazing day for us. We felt very comfortable with you up there with us.
Love notes gets five stars, check them out please its the best thing you could ever do for the perfect wedding day.
