    Pastor Bill was amazing to work with! He gave us unique ideas for our ceremony and all of my guests loved his delivery. It felt like he has known us all of our lives.

    Planning an out of state wedding can be very stressful! After looking through reviews, my husband and I decided to go with Pastor Bill Martinez and we are so blessed that we made that choice! He was very professional and maintained in contact throughout the planning process. Thank you again for such a beautiful ceremony. You're the best!

    Ok so this review is way, way, waaay over due! We got married on March 6, 2015. We found Pastor Bill through Wedding Wire and we thank our lucky stars we found him! We live in Seattle but our wedding was in San Marcos, California. Pastor Bill was quick to respond and we had several phone conversations throughout our engagement since we were unable to meet in person. Right away we liked him! We met him on our rehearsal day and he did a great job coordinating the rehearsal ceremony! The day of, he was here early, mingling with our bridal party and guests. He is very personable and friendly and chimed perfectly with everyone. He did a wonderful job with our wedding ceremony! We wanted to be spiritual without being super religious and we wanted to share our own vows. He was perfect! He was sincere, genuine, funny but not cheesy, and I swear the ceremony felt like he had known us forever! Everyone made so many wonderful comments and compliments on Pastor Bill. He was very well liked by our guests and couldn't believe we had only met him the day before! Thank you so much to Pastor Bill for making our ceremony better than we could imagine!!

    Look no further than Pastor Bill! He will put your worries to rest about the wedding, and somehow in the process of getting to know you individually and as a couple he will incorporate the absolute best about you both and have your audience laughing, crying, smiling and really happy for you.

    Looking for a great officiant? This is the man to pick. Trust him and follow his plan, and he will stir up your wedding court, your beloved guests; and drown you in tears of happiness and joy. This man is follower of Christ Jesus our Lord. God is using this man in wonderful ways. Please pick him, he is worth every penny! Much love, Pastor Bill! I hope you continue doing what you do. I don't cry, but that day, you made tears of joy run down my face. You helped me search deep within my mind, soul, and spirit. It was truly a blessing. Thank you.

    Pastor Bill was the perfect choice for our wedding! In the wedding planning process he responded quickly and was very professional. He took the time to meet with us for a few hours in person to get to know us as a couple. For the actual wedding, he was timely to both our rehearsal and ceremony. He was able to incorporate our family/cultural traditions smoothly. He spoke very eloquently, like not from a script. My parents are hard to please and they loved him too! We wish he could've stayed with us for the reception! THANK YOU so much for being a part of our perfect day!

    Pastor Bill did an AMAZING job officiating our wedding ceremony! We were referred to Pastor Bill thru family friends and come to find out he was the “Preferred Pastor” at our venue, Carmel Mountain Ranch Country Club. Pastor Bill met with my Husband and I a few times before we got married to get to know us and he also met with us as our wedding day got closer to comfort my worries/stresses. Pastor Bill really listened to my husband and I’s wishes, hopes and wants when it came to the ceremony and he delivered a ceremony that far exceed our expectations. Family and friends continually quote things they heard Pastor Bill say during our ceremony that they loved.
    THANK YOU PASTOR BILL FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART, FOR MAKING MY DREAM COME TRUE WEDDING CEREMONY COME TO LIFE!

    He is awesome! He took the time to get to know us and totally geared our ceremony towards who we really are. It was humorous yet not cheesy but serious all the same. He's very professional but is very personable too so it was easy for us to trust him with get task at hand and we were very happy with the service he provided

    Pastor Bill was the perfect Officiant for our wedding! He took the time to get to know us as a couple and offer us counsel through our journey into marriage. He was personable, patient and kind. On the day of, he delivered with excellence and even a little humor. Everyone thought he was perfect!

    Would recommend to any of my friends and family looking for a great experience- regardless of your religious affiliation.

    Although we didnt know Pastor Bill he provided us with a fantastic service. I have to admit that I wasn't expecting all that much as I didn't know Pastor Bill and I wasn't sure what I wanted from an officiant. But I can say I was totally surprised by how he personalized our ceremony and how the things he said not only sounded genuine but not sappy. Even our guests said they really liked what he said. We didnt want too much discussion of faith (as we are not all that religious - more spiritual) - and Pastor Bill hit the perfect note. I can say without any reservations that you will not be disapointed with Pastor Bill. He is not only a great officiant but a genuinely nice guy.

    Pastor Bill is so polite, charming and full of passion. From the moment my husband and I met him we were blown away by his personality. We couldn't stop smiling. He helped us put together a rehearsal on site, this helped us calm our nerves and was worth it.The ceremony was exactly how we wanted it, it was beautiful, and he could improvise on the spot. We forgot the veil part for the ceremony and with quick wit and thinking we pulled it together. It was AWESOME! We couldn't be happier. If you have no idea who you are looking for to be the officiant for your wedding, meet Pastor Bill. It was one of the most positive experiences for planning the wedding, and the ceremony was well worth it!

    We loved working with Pastor Bill. He came highly recommended by our wedding coordinator and we soon learned why. We came to know Pastor Bill before our ceremony through phone calls, email conversations, and an in-person meet and greet. Throughout the whole time his energy and compassion came through and we were very thankful to have been working with such a professional. Looking back on it, it is hard to believe that he was probably working with many other couples at the same time. He made us feel like a priority and as if we had his complete attention whenever we needed him. Also, a quick phone call from him a day or two before the wedding was such a nice and unexpected surprise in our hectic week. He really was there with us and was incredibly genuine. He went a long way to ease our nerves leading up to the big day.

    Our actual ceremony came out fantastic. Pastor Bill was very flexible with us and worked in our requests to craft the perfect flow for the ceremony. He had asked us for some of our thoughts about each other and incorporated those into the ceremony for each of us to hear for the first time. It was an emotional moment that had us tearing up, but Pastor Bill was also quick to inject a bit of humor into the ceremony to lighten the mood. All-in-all we felt like we had a perfect wedding and Pastor Bill started that off with our ceremony. Many guests remarked at how great he was and how special the ceremony was.

    Pastor Bill is an amazing person and we highly recommended him for anyone seeking an officiant in the San Diego area.

    Thank you Pastor Bill,
    Rebecca & AJ

    Pastor Bill went above and beyond for our wedding. From skyping us so we could meet him to calling me every few days to check on us and let us know he is praying for us, he made sure we knew he cared. Plus, our ceremony was absolutely incredible. It was the perfect amount of sincerity along with a little humor to keep the bride from crying. I couldn't have asked for anything more and I am so happy I picked Pastor Bill as my officiant. Thank you Pastor Bill!

    Bill was such an important part of our journey. He met with us on multiple occasions to get to know us and our story. The ceremony was such a touching and personal weaving together of our unique love story, personalities, and dreams for our lives. Many guests shared how meaningful the ceremony felt, and how many emotions it brought out. Bill did a beautiful job and made our day so special.

    We had an uninvited guest, Hurricane Dolores that decided to pop into our outdoor wedding at Marina Village. Pastor Bill was a calm and very great presence as we were obviously scrambling with the ceremony moving inside from out. He nailed the ceremony and as both me and the Bride had our most amazing day of our lives he was able to make key changes as we were at times a bit off our game with vows and such due to the pressure of the weather situation. It went off without a noticeable hitch to our guests and we had such an amazing experience with him as our spiritual and worldly guide to matrimony. Thank you thank you thank you for being there and everything you did to make our day that much better!

    Me and Paolo found Pastor Bill through wedding wire, at first I was a bit hesitant to contact him, I was just intimidated by the fact that I will be talking to a pastor whom we've never met before. But after talking to him over the phone and exchanging emails, specially after we met him and talked to him in person, he made us feel at ease. He is very passionate on what he do, he is very much interested, and a genuine person. We would also recommend to take part on his relationship coaching materials, it help us see our weakness, which we didn't know we have. On the day of our wedding, he made time to meet and mingle with our family members. Everyone love how he ran our ceremony, his words are heartfelt. He is such a blessing to me and Paolo.

    Pastor Bill was an invaluable resource in both preparing and officiating our wedding.

    We underwent a cross-country move from Washington, DC to Arizona in the middle of our wedding planning and despite living in San Diego, Pastor Bill was flexible and understanding every step of the way. Despite not meeting face-to-face a couple days prior to the ceremony, our weekly Skype calls prior had us well acquainted in time for our big day. His pre-marriage counseling was invaluable and he used those sessions to weave facts and observations about us seamlessly into his sermon beautifully.

    Not only we were we thrilled with his work, he impressed everyone who attended our wedding too!

    Spoken quite simply Pastor Bill should be at the top of your list when considering who will officiate your ceremony. In the chaos of planning out our wedding. two months before the ceremony we realized that we forgot one of the most important pieces. Who was going to marry us? After searching the entirety of weddingwire.com we began corresponding with a few officiants, but was far and away impressed by Pastor Bill's approach and ease in conversing. After we made our choice we began getting to know one another. and after only one meeting and a few correspondence it was like we had known each other forever.

    We didn't have a coordinator and hadn't planned a wedding ceremony before, but at the rehearsal we followed his lead and felt confident that we could pull off the perfect ceremony the next day. That confidence was not misplaced as the day went off without a hitch. He kept the ceremony light and joyous.

    Afterwards everyone we spoke to at the ceremony could not stop giving us compliments as to how he lead the ceremony and added so much to our perfect day. Even weeks later we are still getting compliments about the job he did in making our special day all the more special.

    From this day forward when we speak to anyone looking for an officiant we will always recommend Pastor BIll.

    We live in Seattle and our wedding was in San Marcos, Ca so we looked on Wedding Wire to find a Pastor who was professional, genuine, and not cheesy! We found Pastor Bill through all the great reviews and he was exactly what we were looking for! We contacted him and he responded quickly. Since we live in Seattle, we didn't have a chance to meet him until our rehearsal but we did speak on the phone a few times. We talked about us, our relationship, and he sent us a packet of personal questions we had to fill out individually. Not going to lie, we were nervous having a Pastor marry us that didn't know us or had ever met us, but Pastor Bill did an incredible job! He came to the rehearsal and it totally made us feel at ease! He came early on our wedding day and had a chat with us and even mingled with our family and wedding party. He did an outstanding job at our ceremony! He was heartfelt, genuine and it felt like he had known us for a long time! So many people came up to us after the wedding and commented on how lovely the ceremony was and how great Pastor Bill was. I would definitely recommend Pastor Bill to anyone getting married!

    Wow - what can I say. Always a bit of a risk hiring in a Pastor who you have never met before to get your 81 year Mom married but Pastor Bill was the most charming minister, who immediately put everyone at ease and provided a really intimate and wonderful service. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

    Pastor Bill is a lifesaver! He stepped in at the last minute for us, when our planned officiant had a medical emergency. We literally met Bill on Thursday, he came to our rehearsal on Friday, and married us on Saturday.

    In a very short time, he was able to gather information about us and put together a beautiful ceremony that was personalized to who we are. I received many comments throughout the night of how lovely the ceremony was and how engaging Pastor Bill is as a speaker. Because he included so many personal thoughts about our relationship, he fooled everyone into thinking that we've known him a long time as a couple.

    All in all, our ceremony was seamless and we are so grateful to Pastor Bill for stepping in and giving us a genuine, personalized ceremony with only a couple days of preparation.

    Pastor Bill Yaccino was absolutely wonderful, my husband and I would recommend him to anyone if they are in need of a wedding officiant! We both loved everything he said during our ceremony, it was the perfect mix of religious, personal, meaningful, and funny, we wouldn't change a thing! We also had so many compliments throughout the night about Pastor Bill, everyone else thought he was great too!

    Pastor Bill did an amazing job with our wedding. He was kind and open minded to our special requests. We aren't very religious and were hesitant at first meeting with Bill but he was polite and accommodating. Everyone keeps telling us how nice of ceremony we had and an amazing job Bill did. He went above and beyond. He kept in contact with us up to the moment we said our vows. He was on time (early) for the ceremony, talked to us before the ceremony, and followed up with us after. Would definitely use him again for a vow renewal.

    As a wedding coordinator, I have had the absolute privilege to work with Pastor Bill Yaccino on a couple of weddings - one of which, I was the one who referred him to my client because he is so fantastic. I will continue to refer him out to anyone I know who is looking for a great officiate. Pastor Bill is professional, SUPER friendly, SUPER helpful, very laid-back, and he has a way of really bringing the LOVE out in wedding ceremonies - and making it shine. He's also very funny in all the right moments, and serious when he needs to be. He will bring every element to the table that you will need to make your wedding day one you and your guests will not forget. It was a joy to work with him, and I look forward to more opportunities to do so!

    My husband and I were looking to find an officiant that would be able to speak eloquently at our wedding and be able to personalize our ceremony without knowing us for too long. Pastor Bill was able to do both of these things! He was recommended to us by our venue (Carmel Mountain Ranch Country Club) and as both my husband and I are not very religious, we were at first, a bit hesitant to contact a Pastor to perform our ceremony. All of our fears were put to rest the moment we met with Pastor Bill. He made us feel very comfortable and was very flexible in re-wording some of the more traditional portions of the ceremony to adapt to our preferences. The officiant was the last vendor we booked but it was not until we met and spoke with Pastor Bill that the reality of getting married set in and he couldn't have been more kind and gracious about helping us with the most important day of our lives! I would definitely recommend Pastor Bill to anybody looking to find a kind, thoughtful officiant who is willing to work with you to ensure that your ceremony is exactly what you want it to be.

    When we first met Pastor Bill Yaccino a year ago, it was such a pleasant surprise how comfortable he made us feel and how genuinely interested in how we met, what our interests were, all about us, and more. Obviously, this is a given for any Officiant in this type of profession, however it was a completely different feeling for us with Pastor Bill in regards to us knowing in our hearts that he really cared and was excited to play such a significant role in our wedding ceremony. He asked in depth questions of both of us, to get to know us personally, not only so that he could construct the perfect script for our big day, but also because it is important to him to advise all couples about marriage success. We would highly recommend you check out the couples check up, we found it extremely helpful and insightful. We also were impressed that thoughout the year, Pastor Bill would check in with us, wish us happy holidays, and let us know he was praying for us. It was so sweet and refreshing that even though our event was months away, he still took the time to check in on us. We decided to to have our ceremony geared towards a more traditional, Christian style. Our approach when planning the ceremony was to have a good mix of serious, humourous, and religious. Pastor Bill did the perfect balance of this, I was blown away at the altar with how it came to life, how tailored and unique it was for us. Not too much or too little of anything, it really did cater to, and was respectful of all different types of beliefs and backgrounds, which was across the board for our family and friends attending. We received numerous compliments from our guests on how touching and memorable it was. We had even debated writing our own vows, however with the verbiage that Pastor bill drafted, we thought this is perfect, this is exactly how we feel, and we couldn’t say it any better. We are both so thankful and honored that Pastor Bill was our Officiant, hands down, the best decision for us!

    Pastor Bill Yaccino did a great job as our wedding officiant!

    We were initially thinking about having a family friend officiate our wedding, but I am so glad that we went with Bill instead. When you hire Bill, you're not just hiring an officiant -- you're also hiring someone who will talk to you and craft a memorable ceremony, tailor-made for you and your families.

    Many people told us after the wedding that the ceremony was very touching and felt very warm and natural, and we can owe a lot of that to Bill! He was able to take our personal stories and readings that we liked, and weave them into an overall message of faith and love. He had "just the right amount" of sermon for us -- enough calling to scripture and prayer for our Catholic families, but not SO much that it would alienate our atheist/agnostic friends.

    Most of all, I really appreciated how reliable & flexible he was. Even with a lot of people running around and us changing our minds about the ceremony *mere hours* before it began, he took it all in stride and gave us a polished ceremony. Highly recommended!

    Pastor Bill was AWESOME. The ceremony started off on the right foot with Bill and his kind words which were very moving. The entire ceremony was very memorable and it was like he knew us for years. Bill made our wonderful day even more memorable than we anticipated. He calmed our nerves while on the altar and brought a great start to our joyous day.

    Pastor Bill did a fabulous job with our wedding! He was professional, sincere and made everyone feel comfortable. He cares about the couples he marries and is down to earth. He wasn't too preachy, but did a great job at weaving our faith into the ceremony. You can't go wrong with Bill!

    Pastor Bill did a fabulous job at officiating our wedding. He was kind enough to council us ahead of time and we enjoyed taking his recommended compatibility test. He took the extra time to get to know us, how we met, our likes, and dislikes, etc. in order to provide an very customized and special wedding ceremony. He seemed to enjoy performing the ceremony as much as we enjoyed getting married. He was sincere and awesome. We just loved him and I would recommend Pastor Bill for any wedding ceremony. We can't imagine having anyone else officiate our wedding. Thank you Pastor Bill. Jenny & Bob 5/5/2014

    I don't get to do this enough for the vendors I love! I am a wedding coordinator in San Diego. I deal with hundreds of vendors every year, and when a good one comes my way I really want to let them know! Having a great team of vendors for your wedding is very important, not only for the bride and groom, but also for the vendor team as a whole. The better each individual vendor is the better the whole team performs.

    Pastor Bill was just amazing for my bride Chelsea who got married on 1/04/14 at the Hotel Del. He responded to all my emails prior to the wedding very promptly. He gave me all the ceremony details ahead of time so I had a copy of them. He even called on the wedding day to check in and let me know he was arriving early. These are just the things that he did amazingly for me, but he also was fantastic for Chelsea and Robert. They really enjoyed working with him, and were so happy with how the whole ceremony went.

    I would recommend Pastor Bill in a heartbeat!

    This officiant takes the time to get to know you and customize your ceremony based on the intimate details you share with him. He gave us a wedding ceremony to remember. Everyone was complimenting our ceremony and we all loved his special touch including all the guests that were able to witness th special. I felt like i fell in love with Frank all over again and it was definitely his words that had something to do with me crying at my own wedding and i seriously do not cry at weddings. His services really touched our hearts including my family members who also shared that the ceremony also made them cry. My husband and I will forever remember the best day of our lives and the well thought out and customized ceremony. Quality for an excellent price!

    We were very happy with Pastor Bill's services and would be more than happy to recommend him to our newly engaged friends!

    During our search in finding an officiant for our wedding, we stumbled across Pastor Bill's amazing reviews. We live in Chicago, IL but our wedding was in Chula Vista, CA so much of our correspondence was over the phone and by email. Because he is such a warm, kind and easy-going person, we felt very comfortable with him immediately! We wanted to incorporate a few of our cultural traditions at the ceremony so Pastor Bill happily obliged, researched them and made it happen!

    Pastor Bill was such a blessing! He was so personal, genuine, & funny. Greg and I were very pleased with Pastor Bill as our officiant for our wedding. He kept God in the center of everything! Many of our guest told us how they LOVED the ceremony, and that "your Pastor was so good!" Thank you again Pastor Bill, we will always remember your words at our ceremony.
    Love, Kat & Greg Christmas

    It was so great meeting Pastor Bill. He was such a joy to work with. We feel very blessed that he was available to officiate our wedding. We have received nothing but compliments on his professionalism and how beautiful and personalized our ceremony was. Many thanks for being so accommodating with all of the rituals we added to our program. We can’t thank him enough for making our day more special and highly recommend his services for future-brides.

    Pastor Bill Yaccino performed our ceremony on September 29th at the Morton Arboretum, Lisle, Illinois. He arrived early, greeted our guests, organized the bridal party, and gave attention to detail. His service was just what we were looking for. A bit religious with some personal details with enough humor to keep our guest guessing if we really just met him or if we had know Pastor Bill for a long time. Pastor Bill even stayed after the ceremony to talk with our guests. His polite manner and easy to fill out survey sheets made Pastor Bill an easy choice for us. Pastor Bill also takes care of sending in the marriage certificate in a prompt manner. Our arrived within the week. Very professional, friendly, and well mannered. Thank you for making our ceremony a dream come true.

    Bill was a blessing to have Marry Amanda & I. We knew the day we met him that he was who we wanted in front of us on the biggest day of our lives. Our guest still ask about him and tell us how amazing he made our ceremony. We cant thank him enough for his services. I would recommend him to anyone I talked to. Five stars isn't enough for how happy we are.

    Pastor Bill went above and beyond to make our wedding day so incredibly memorable!! He went out of his way to meet with us to get to know us as individuals and as a couple before the wedding and then called to check in a few times before the actual wedding day. The wedding ceremony was so much more than we could have imagined. Pastor Bill made it so personal that a lot of our guests could not believe that we had not known him for years! Everyone, including us, was beyond impressed with Pastor Bill. We would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone!

    Pastor Bill was the officiant for our wedding in April at the Morton Arboretum. When we reached out to Pastor Bill prior to our wedding, we really weren't sure what kind of service we wanted. Together he worked with us to create a beautiful ceremony that truly reflected us and our relationship with each other and with our family and friends. I would recommend Pastor Bill to any couple looking for an officiant.

    We felt very comfortable with him through the entire process and he did a great job of putting us all at ease on our wedding day.

    We were very pleased with him and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a pastor to make their wedding day meaningful and personal.

    Pastor Bill Yaccino came highly recommended from my family’s long-time home pastor, who was unable to perform our ceremony and we could not have been more thrilled.

    From the very first phone conversation (my husband and I were planning a Chicago-wedding from Philadelphia), Pastor Bill had an easy-going and extremely personably touch that immediately put us at ease. He also had us fill out a questionnaire – which in addition to being a really fun exercise for us, was a great tool for Pastor Bill to get to know us on a more intimate level. I cannot tell you how many of our guests came up to us afterwards to say how beautiful the ceremony was; and I truly believe it was because Pastor Bill was able to weave in details of our story with his humor and wonderful words of biblical wisdom on marriage. But more than that, I really loved his message – my husband and I still talk about the different kinds of “love” and hope to use Pastor Bill’s encouraging words as a guiding principle throughout our marriage.

    Also, the weekend of our wedding the city of Chicago was hosting the NATO summit and given all the uncertainty – we really appreciated Pastor Bill’s professionalism and flexibility. He was literally one of the first to arrive on site and was a calming presence throughout the entire day.

    We are so thankful that Pastor Bill was a part of our wedding and would highly recommend his services.

    Pastor Bill was the nicest guy you could ever meet. He makes you feel like a friend right from the 1st meeting with him. Pastor Bill was perfect and made it very easy to go through the ceremony and vows! It was like having a family member standing up there with you and it felt very comfortable! We highly recommend Pastor Bill for anyone who wants the perfect ceremony!
    Thank You Again,

    Pastor Bill took the time to get to know my husband and I and asked questions to get a feel of who we were as a couple. We are from 2 different backgrounds so we wanted to have a non-denominational wedding to respect both families and Pastor Bill really understood that and did an excellent job by making the ceremony about us which is what we wanted.

    Pastor Bill Was amazing. He provided such a personalized and touching sermon at our wedding, that our family and friends though he knew us for years. I will never forget it. When he first met with me and my husband he asked us both to write down things we love about each other. Then a year later, after we had forgotten the list, he read them out during our vows, and it was so touching and funny!!! He was very flexible and willing to incorporate various degrees of spirituality in our wedding. I highly recommend him to anyone. :) - Ashley Janaszak, Married by Pastor Bill July 5th 2009 at Naper Settlement Chapel.

    Pastor Bill was very responsive from day 1. We were able to arrange a meeting with him that was convenient for both of us. He learned a lot about us in that meeting, and he was able to answer some faith questions we had! The day of the wedding Bill was very professional, and he put together a very nice ceremony that was poignant, yet entertaining at the same time! Very glad we worked with Bill he did a fantastic job and we will always have memories of our ceremony that we will fondly look back upon!

    Pastor Bill is amazing!! Our wedding was everything we wanted it to be and he made it personal and spiritual and perfect! He took the time to really get to know us and had a genuine interest in us as a couple and as individuals. I couldn't have picked a better officiant to be with us on our special day!

    Absolutely wonderful experience, could not imagine being married by anyone else. The guidance you provided before our wedding and all the time we spent has proven to be very valuable. As a result of how great you were our friends requested you to marry them as well.

    Thank you,

    We could not have asked for as better Officiant! We were planning our Chicago wedding from Las Vegas and Pastor Bill was so flexibity and able to communicate every detail with us, even though we were 1500 miles away. During the ceremony he made sure to add personal touches about my husband and I. My husband and I and the guests are still talking about what a great job Pastor Bill did. We would highly recommend him to anyone.

    Pastor Bill Yaccino was extremely friendly and very approachable. He offered assistance with pre-marital counseling without any pressure to sign up for the extra services. He gave us exercises to work through at home that were fun and really created some great conversations about our new life together. He arrived early at the wedding rehearsal and everyone in our wedding party was really impressed with his professionalism and ability to connect with all the different personalities there! He was early to our outdoor wedding and looked really sharp. Pastor Bill delivered on his promise and really did a great job with our wedding ceremony just as we wanted it. It had a "church" feel to it even through we were outdoor because of the way Pastor Bill delivered the ceremony. Many of my family members went up after the ceremony to thank him and tell him what a great job he did. He definitely exceeded our families and our expectations. Thank you so much Pastor Bill!

    Pastor Bill did a fantastic job officiating our wedding. We didn't know him at the start of our wedding planning but he took the time to get to know us and made our wedding incredibly personal as if he had known us forever. He was organized and well prepared but what made our experience with him so special was how cheerful and enthusiastic he was in convening my wife and I's love for each other. Thanks Pastor Bill!

    Pastor Bill married my husband and I in January of 2007. We planned our wedding in 3 months, and he came highly recommended by the banquet hall we used in Crystal Lake. He was wonderful. Our ceremony was short, sweet, and very personalized which was exactly what we wanted. It's years later and we still get compliments. Pastor Bill made us very comfortable and took away the jitters with a few laughs. I highly recommend him.

    Rev. Bill Yaccino was a fabulous pastor, both in helping to plan our ceremony and to perform it. He was able to highlight the aspects we wanted incorporated into our ceremony and guide us on how to accomplish this. His mixture of humor and seriousness was perfect and had many guests telling us after the wedding that it was one of the best ceremonies they'd attended. His kindness, attention to detail, and passion for helping couples unite made him the obvious choice when choosing our officiant in 2005!

    It was such a pleasure to work with Pastor Bill. He was friendly, genuine, professional, and took his time to get to know us. He also offers pre-marital counseling which I would also highly recommend. Both Pastor Bill and his wife set up and participate in the sessions with the couple. It allowed my husband and I to deepen our relationship and also helped us to get to know Pastor Bill and for him to get to know us better as a couple. He worked with us to customize our ceremony and we were very pleased with his message. Overall, he made us feel very comfortable and helped to make our wedding the day we had envisioned.

    My wedding would not have been the same without Pastor Bill!! We had a destination wedding with close friends and family and wrote our own vows. Finding the right person for our ceremony - from a distance was a challenge. From our first phone call - I knew he was the right person! After our ceremony - everyone thought we had known him for years...I can't thank him enough for creating such a wonderful ceremony full of personal stories, warmth, and laughter.

    Pastor Bill was amazing during our engagement process and the day of our wedding. He was interested in hearing our story and wanted to build rapport with us. He spent time with us prior to the wedding to get to know us, which made the whole process much more meaningful. He made us feel that he really wanted to be there with us on our wedding day. He was very calming and compassionate during the whole process. His positive attitude about marriage was inspiring. Thank you Pastor Bill for helping to make our wedding day memorable!

    Bill is a very warm and caring man. He made sure that he met with us weeks before our big day and got to know our love story and journey. He then made our unique story into a beautiful sermon intertwined with the bible and christian teachings we had hoped to express to our family and friends on our wedding day.

    What can we say about Pastor Bill? He was so awesome. We were looking for a friendly, loving and caring officiant that would add a personal touch of humor and spirituality to our wedding. Pastor Bill met us at a Starbucks and we talked, he asked us so many interesting questions, and he was so warm and welcoming that we felt like we were talking to an old friend that we've know forever. Later at our ceremony he injected many of our stories into his sermon and our ceremony, we couldn't help but smile. It was like wow, he actually listened. ;) Pastor Bill was spectacular at our Wedding and we received so many compliments on his impact on our special day. He was so awesome that we also asked him to do our Christian Baby Dedication (Baptism) of our son. Pastor Bill is one of the nicest and professional people you'll ever meet. He will make your day special!

    We were very hard up on money and wanted to get married, when I told Pastor Yaccino of our predicament he offered up his home and services to us. Pastor Yaccino married us in his home with only our moms and daughter as witnesses. We are really grateful to him for this. May God's blessings rain down upon him and his family.

    Pastor Bill really took the time to get to know my fiancé and I prior to our wedding day. He offered pre-marital assessment and counseling to get us started on the right foot, even though we decided we didn't want to participate in that service. He is passionate about the work he does with couples and will really personalize your special day. He is down to earth and really put my nervous bridezilla mind at ease the week of the wedding my calling to check on us and finalizes details for the big day. His wedding service was customized and enjoyable to participate in. He is even fun to listen to over and over again on the wedding video!

    Pastor Bill was absolutely wonderful! Family and friends raved for months afterward about how beautiful the ceremony was. Pastor Bill truly made the wedding of our dreams come true! I would highly recommend him! Our ceremony went perfectly, exactly how we had imagined, and Pastor Bill was the glue that held everything together.
