    Extremely Professional & Accommodating!!

    From the beginning of our planning, Bill was very helpful and accommodating to what we had envisioned for our wedding! He made the process so smooth and stress-free despite us being all over the place in the days leading up to the wedding. We are so grateful for his flexibility and professionalism throughout the whole process! Our family and friends loved him and we are certainly grateful for him being a part of the most important part of our day!

    Bill was professional and very helpful when listening to what we envisioned our wedding. We met and discussed different options, and he was very informative. The day of our wedding there were a few hiccups but Bill was able to help us keep things going for the big day. Highly recommend!.

    Best Decision Ever!

    Mr. Gillespie is amazing! He is punctual, knowledgeable, so down to earth. I especially love that he has a strong voice (because my DJ forgot his lapel mic). He's very flexible with dates and times for both weddings and rehearsals. I also loved the way he customized our wedding to include a breaking of the glass and to make them personable and specific to our personalities.
    You will not go wrong by hiring him :)

    Super happy!

    Bill was our officiant and he did a wonderful job. He was very professional and knew exactly what to do. We had a few prep calls with Bill, and he would be very detailed in the process and what needed to be done. He also let us customize how we wanted the ceremony to be done, which we loved! I am so glad we chose Bill to officiate our ceremony. If I had to do it over again, I would chose him again. Definitely recommend!

    Bill is awesome!

    My wedding day was a mess because our venue flooded out. We were running super behind on our time schedule, but Bill was patient and understanding. I would highly recommend Bill. He was communicative and made us feel really comfortable and did an excellent job at our ceremony. He is very professional and easy to work with. You will not regret hiring him for your special day.

    Wedding Officiant

    We cannot thank Bill enough for being part of our big day! He coordinated all the moving pieces flawlessly and made sure everything was exactly how we pictured. He went above and beyond after the ceremony, to ensure we had photos of our bridal party witnessing our certificate signing which is a memory I’m so glad we have! We could not of asked for a better experience!

    Highly recommend!

    Bill did a wonderful job officiating our wedding. We couldn’t have asked for any better! He was great about communicating through email and phone calls and coordinating everything from 1000 miles away. He gave great advice but still allowed us to make the ceremony our own. We loved how he incorporated our special story into the service. And, he even rolled with it when our ring bearer lost the ring on the beach! (It was found about an hour after the ceremony!) Bill helped to make our day run as smoothly as possible while keeping it personal and special for us. We highly recommend him!

    Wonderful experience!!

    I’m so happy we found Bill to officiate our wedding!! He was super helpful leading up to the big day and really made us feel comfortable during the rehearsal so the ceremony went perfectly. He was a true professional and pulled it all off with ease. I really don’t think we could’ve asked for anything more. We would definitely recommend Bill to all our family and friends!!

    Perfect Simple Wedding

    Bill is wonderful! He made everything so easy for us, incorporated my Baptist background with my husbands Jewish background, may the service flow so smoothly. Everything was perfect. The service was just the right length too and he told us exactly what to say. We can not express how thankful we are!

    Bill was wonderful!

    We hired Bill due to his great reviews on here and we're so glad we did! We had to post pone a year and he was flexible with us. We were able to meet him before the wedding and go over everything. We got to pick our scriptures and quotes and he had an easy guide to do it all. A few of our guests even said they got to talk to him and they enjoyed that! Thanks Bill!

    The best wedding officiant ever!!

    Oh where do I begin! Too many good things to say about Bill! He’s amazing, awesome, wonderful and my 3 year old daughter loved him! If she sees his picture she says “oh that’s nice guy Bill!” That’s how she knows him by lol. He was so helpful, so kind, so professional, and he made our ceremony beautiful. Thank you Bill for everything! I can see why he gets 5 stars every single time!!

    Prompt and Personable

    Bill was great, the officiant was the last vendor that we needed and though we did the vendor last minute (by my standards) he was ready for action and really made things easy! He send you everything you need and answers all your questions while also anticipating what you need to be prepared for
