I would recommend anyone who wants a beautiful, heart-felt ceremony to Reverand Christopher. He such a sweet man and what he said throughout the ceremony was so touching. He was easy to work with and answered all my questions quickly. He really helped make our wedding a special one. Thank you so much, Reverand Christopher!

Reverend Christopher recently performed my wedding ceremony. He arrived early and all of my guests seemed to like him. My husband and I had looked at other officiants in the area, but ultimately chose Rev. Christoper because he was available. When booking an officiant, book early! I cannot stress that enough!

Rev. Christopher promises to give you a ceremony exactly like you want. He had given us a packet of sample readings and vows and an outline of the ceremony. Throughout the packet he constantly notes not to speak for him and not to edit certain readings. When we called him to do a quick run through of the ceremony, he couldn't really tell us what he was going to say because he makes it up on the spot during the ceremony. During the ceremony, he asked my husband and me to create a "Kodak moment" where we put our hands on each others' faces while we loving look into each others' eyes. Both of us hated this and we certainly would not have done this had we been able to pick out what we wanted. I highly recommend asking him not to perform this section! Our guests even commented on how weird it was. While you have more flexibility with an officiant than with a church, you only get to choose the readings, special acts, and a few of the phrases you will say. Everything else is up to him.

Be warned that Rev. Christopher has an extremely busy schedule. After our wedding he needed to leave immediately to get to the next one.

Overall Rev. Christopher did a good job performing our ceremony, but I don't think I would have used him if I were to do it all over again. He marries people for a living and he treated our wedding as a business. He didn't care to get to know us or even find out how we met. It's unfortunate when your florist is much more excited about your wedding than the person marrying you.

Rev. Christopher tended to make a lot of typical male comments to my husband, which neither of us appreciated. He acted like my husband wasn't supposed to help plan our wedding ceremony and that he should only worry about how much it was going to cost him. He made it seem like my husband should enjoy the last part of his single-hood before he gets married since, of course, everyone knows your like ends when you get married. After our ceremony, Rev. Christopher made my husband repeat our wedding day so he wouldn't forget it. For being the person to marry us and to be married himself, I don't feel like he put marriage in a good light.

So here's my recommendation- use Rev. Christopher if you like. I doubt you'll be disappointed, but I don't think you'll be impressed either. I strongly encourage you to look at other officiants to make sure you get exactly what you want.

I have to say that after meeting Rev. Tuttle, I was so excited for him to officiate our wedding. Everyone had given him good reviews and he was funny and seemed like our kind of guy.

As our wedding approached, I e-mailed him a few times to touch base since I hadn't spoken to him in some time. I never received a response so I decided to call him instead. He was nice and we got things squared away (I thought) so I was feeling better.

Upon reviewing our paperwork, I realized that we had intially set up to start our ceremony at 6:30pm but because we wanted to make sure that we had enough sunlight for photos, we had changed it with the rest of the vendors to 6pm. So I contacted Rev. Tuttle to ask if this would be a problem. He said no and that he would be there at 6pm.

Fastforward to our wedding day...Rev. Tuttle DID NOT show up at 6 like he said he would. He was almost 30 minutes late. Needless to say we did not have much time to take pictures. But it being my wedding I wanted to just go with the flow and not let anything ruin our special day.

My family and friends all seemed to like the ceremony and said that he did a wonderful job. We felt it was fine overall, except that he did not bring a lapel mic as he said he would. Therefore, our DJ had to provide a handheld mic for him. So the whole ceremony we all got to hear him moving the mic and at one point, him asking the DJ to turn down the mic a little. We weren't thrilled about that. He did have some cool things to say and as I said, our guests did enjoy it. It just seemed to be another thing...

Then after the ceremony, Rev. Tuttle came up to me and asked me if we still had payment due which I thought was completely unprofessional. I am at my wedding enjoying my husband and don't really care if we are paid in full or not. Maybe a more appropraite time to discuss that would have been when I called and asked that specifically and he didn't say anything about it. On top of that, he seemed very rushed to get the marriage certificate signed and get out of there. We had to send a friend to pick it up from the bridal room as it was our wedding day (and we had a lot going on!) and we forgot to bring it down to the ceremony site. She was gone not even 5 minutes and Rev. Tuttle was asking us to send another guest to go and find her...this is all while we are trying to rush and take pictures before the light ran out...since he was a half an hour late. After our friend returned with the marriage certificate, it was signed and we were able to finish taking pictures without him bugging us anymore.

Overall I have to say we were not pleased. The guests liked him and I am happy that they were unaware of many of the things that upset my husband and I. I have read good things about Rev. Tuttle and am sure that on most occasions he is great. I am just a little bummed at the person that showed up (late!) to our wedding.
