My Fiance (husband now!) and I decided to have a non-denominational wedding ceremony since we were combining two faiths, Judiasm and Christianity, and wanted to keep it simple and more of a representation of our love together.
I was nervous about finding someone to marry us because we were essentially 'shopping online.' I met and spoke with several people and started to feel like i wouldn't find the right person with the right price for my budget. My fiance and I met with Brian Cookson and I immediatley knew that he was the one. He made us feel so comfortable. He was organized, charming and professional. He said that he could tell we really loved each other was very important to him- i loved that!
He was willing to answer any of our questions during the planning and was very helpful with making the ceremony fit what we wanted. He even searched for the author of a poem i wanted to use - after i had given up in trying to find it myself!
The ceremony was amazing and Reverend Brian was wonderful. At the reception, the first thing everyone (i mean everyone - all ages, all faiths) said to us was how beautiful the ceremony was and how wonderful Reverand Brian was. Everyone thought that he must know us! We're still getting compliments!
I'm so pleased to be sharing this with other online shoppers for a wedding officiant - I think it is a very daunting task to find the right person- and there are so many people out there, its hard to know where to start. I hope this helps many brides!

I cannot say enough good things about Reverend Brian Cookson. From the very beginning, he took the time to talk to me about any questions or concerns about things both wedding related and non wedding related. The first time I met with him, we talked for hours and I felt like he was an old family friend. I talked with several ministers before I met him and many had that "holier than thou" attitude, but he was so open-minded and supportive. I believed in my marriage even more because he believed in us. I felt lucky to have his blessing. Also, as all of us brides do, I had gone WAY beyond my budget for the wedding, and he worked with me on the price of his services. I can't thank him enough and I recommend him to every bride that I can.

From the very moment we met Reverend Brian, we felt at ease. He took time to meet with us and answer every single one of our questions, no matter how small or silly it may have sounded! We requested a Christmasy, short, sweet ceremony and with just those three words, he created the perfect wedding ceremony ! We simply gave him a quote and he gave us an amazingly heartfelt, touching service. He was early for both our rehearsal and our wedding and always returned our calls the same day. I definitely suggest Rev. Brian for your wedding officiant needs!

Brian performed an absolutely beautiful ceremony on our special day. The customized ceremony really captured exactly the message and tone that we were striving for. He understood the personal nature of the event and spent time to understand what we were wanting for our ceremony. Thanks Brian!

rev. brian was great! the first time i talked to him, he talked to me for over an hour. he is there for whatever you need. he is extremely professional, but he has a sense of humor. he gives you many different choices for your ceremony, vows, unity candle, prayers, readings, and everything else. he made my ceremony go smoothly and perfectly. i highly recommend him. he will work with any budget, and he is not out for the money. i am so happy that we used him, and that he was able to help us out in such short notice (about 2-3 weeks before wedding)! he gives fast and great communication, and i really had nothing to worry about with him. he is just all around fantastic!

Reverend Brian Cookson was the best! My fiance was leaving the country in one week, so needless to say we were in a hurry! I emailed him late one Monday night and he responded right away and continued to walk me through his services and pricing online throughout the evening while we were discussing our options. We decided to book him to perform our ceremony that evening as he was so great to work with, professional and helpful. The next day we recieved everything we needed to put together the perfect ceremony, vows and ring exchanges! He makes it all so easy. On Friday we had the ceremony in our own home, which is what I wanted, and he was brillant! On time, prepared, sweet as can be and a lot of fun to work with. The ceremony was perfect (and he even threw in a last minute change for me!). If you are looking to book an officiant who will make your special day perfect, I HIGHLY recommend Reverend Cookson!

Rev. Brian Cookson was amazing!!! He was so personable, friendly, professional and wonderful! There aren't enough kind words in the English language to describe how comfortable and happy he made my husband and I on our wedding day! He helped us to pick out exactly what kind of ceremony we wanted with wonderful suggestions and personalization. And the day of the wedding he was all smiles! I could tell that he was really invested in us and of our big day! He even helped to calm this nervous and giggly bride. :) And I love that he provided us with a beautiful copy of our ceremony as a keepsake, as well as a pretty wedding certificate keepsake. Huzzah!
And his wife and daughter are both beautiful and lovely as well. They were of course a pleasure to have with us.
I would recommend him to anyone and everyone!
