The first time I contacted Steve, he got back to me in a timely matter. Steve answered any questions my husband and I had, and he made us feel very comfortable and relaxed. We are more laid back type of people, and Steve matched our personalities. The day of the wedding, Steve arrived early, and spoke to both of us to calm any nerves we had. The ceremony was perfect, and the sand ceremony was beautiful. I would recommend Steve for your wedding, as he was very professional, and truly cared about your experience.

Steve was awesome and I would recommend him very highly for someone who is looking for an officiant. He answered all of my questions and was very easy to talk to. He was there early for our event and went above and beyond the call of duty. Our ceremony was perfect thanks to Steve and there is nothing he could have done better. Steve you made our wedding awesome! Thanks for everything, even the photos you took.

My wife and I were looking for a simple ceremony for immediate members of the family and Steve was the perfect fit for our needs. He was extremely accommodating and took one less worry off our shoulders for our important day. Steve arrived early, had no problem staying later when things ran late and showed excellent professionalism and was very personable before and after the service. Most importantly to my wife and I was the ability to add personalized pledge to our children which was handled flawlessly.
