Rev. Christopher with the Universal Heart Ministry is truly a blessing! My now-wife and I are a military couple (a veteran and newly enlisted), and have been struggling with the demands of the military. Wanting the ability to be stationed together, but not wanting to push up our actual wedding, we decided to get the legalities out the way. We decided to do the online remote wedding, that way we could have our paperwork together and able to be processed for the military, yet still be able to have our formal wedding on its original date.

At first I was skeptical and nervous, and thought that it would alter or devalue our marriage and wedding process. Feeling as it was some type of low quality and cheap elopement. It was all but that!

It was high quality, grade a service, and a truly beautiful experience! We're even more excited for our in person wedding now! Rev. Christopher was the ABSOLUTE BEST!!! He was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process! He was always super quick to respond, so flexible and accommodating, professional, knowledgeable and just willing to go above and beyond. We never felt like a burden and his follow up is immaculate. What was most surprising was his sense of humor. He is super funny and easy going! I was super nervous (even during the ceremony) but something about his energy was just always so warm and calming and reassuring! It truly felt as if he cared about us and we were not just another number. As if he was our pastor and we knew him our whole lives! He held our hands throughout the whole process, from initial inquiry to post-ceremony. You just can't beat an experience like that! We even had a smaller package, that was a quick and easy ceremony, but it did not feel rushed at all! He's so patient and kind!

Rev. Christopher's services are super affordable, better than sooo many other's that I saw when I was shopping around, but you don't lose value at any package level and his level of service.....PRICELESS! The overall experience makes us want to have him perform our in-person wedding as well!!! Everything was quick, easy, and smooth!

Extra information: We are African-American, late 20's and early 30's, lesbians, and are not apart of any religious groups. It can be hard to find, or hard to be comfortable, or even hard finding a church or pastor or officiant who is truly comfortable performing a wedding ceremony under these circumstances. But not with Rev. Christopher and the Universal Heart Ministry! We felt so welcomed, never felt judged, and were never disrespected! He even was able to able to accommodate our religious preferences (Pagan and Spiritual). Unbelievable!

If you've made it this far, lol, I just want to say: Please do not hesitate to choose Rev. Christopher and the Universal Heart Ministry for your wedding and marriage needs! You don't even have to be in the same state or location! --P.S. For my military couples or soon to be apart of the military, everything is legit. Yes, your marriage license holds up in the eyes of the law and for governmental purposes! Don't worry about where you are in the world. Time zones are not an issue. Near or far, together or separate for sometime....Rev. Christopher can and will get it done! Take care! And congratulations in advance to all my future newlyweds!

Reverend Christopher made our ceremony everything we hoped it would be beautiful, personal, and full of heart. He took the time to get to know us, helped us craft vows that reflected our story, and guided us through the process with care and ease. His organization, thoughtfulness, and attention to detail made the everything flow seamlessly. We felt completely supported every step of the way and couldn’t have asked for a better officiant to share this moment with us.

We are so grateful to have had Rev. Christopher as our wedding officiant. From the very beginning, they were incredibly professional, warm, funny, and easygoing. They made the entire process feel seamless and stress-free, and their communication was always clear and timely. The ceremony they crafted for us was detailed orientated, heartfelt, personal, and beautifully delivered. It truly reflected our relationship and values, and most of our guests commented on how meaningful and well-paced it was. We felt completely supported throughout the experience, and their calming presence helped us stay grounded on such an emotional day. We highly recommend Rev. Christopher T. Scuderi to any couple looking for someone who brings both professionalism and genuine care to their work. In addition, Rev. Christopher is also widely recognized for offering a variety of meaningful services beyond weddings, including baby and pet blessings, celebrations of life, memorials and funerals, couples counseling, and retreats. I also believe he’s willing to travel wherever needed to support those he serves and he is a full-time, non-denominational itinerant minister who can also easily pronounce hard international names!

Thank you again, ​Rev. Christopher, for being such a memorable and meaningful part of our wedding day!​​

Rev. Christopher has a special touch! He definitely made the ceremony for us. The idea of the father’s promise was the best gift he gave. We had freedom to change anything and he was very through with his questions to make sure he created something special for us. He was fun and friendly and of course a wonderful smile! Thank you for everything

Reverend Christopher was recommended to us by our photographer and we are so happy that he was! We decided to get married in Moab, Utah in the middle of Canyonlands and it is a place where we had never been! After all of the planning for a location, meeting Reverend Christopher via video call made us feel that we finally had all of the pieces together. He was extremely thorough in his preparation and took the time to get to know us during our call. Our wedding ceremony was beautifully worded and unique to us and our values. Reverend Christopher was well prepared, professional, and had so many details covered down to bringing bobby pins which I ended up needing for my veil! Our wedding day was perfect, and he made it so very special for me, my husband, and our families. We are forever grateful!

We hated the idea of going to the courthouse but the kiss and go with rev Christopher was great! Short and sweet but in a beautiful park and not the feel of a courthouse and had a say with our vows was nice fit!

Rev. Christopher was wonderful in responsiveness, courteousness and professionalism. He performed a beautiful and meaningful wedding ceremony and was second to none in his field.

Excellent with communication, very responsive and organized. Made everything seamless! Would definitely recommend to anyone!

I first worked with Rev Christopher for my late daughter funeral. Just on the first call he made me feel comfortable and understood. He ask questions to make sure he could fully understand what my partner and I were looking for. The service was truly amazing, you can tell base on his words and sermon that he took his time to prepare it on a short notice , his words made us feel more at peace and added hope in our hearts. We later used Rev Christopher service for my partner and I wedding which he yet again did amazing. Be sure to save his contact information because you will for sure need his services again.

I can’t express how beautifully done our ceremony was thanks to Reverend Christopher Scuderi. He surpassed our expectations in all areas. Professionalism, communication, timeliness, and overall made our experience unforgettable and just how we imagined it to be. Smooth and stress free it was. We had a destination wedding that he made possible for us and made everyone who attended on zoom feel as if they were actually there with us. I would recommend Rev. Christopher Scuderi to all my family and friends that how amazing he is at what he does. Hands down!!!!!
