Fred is the Best!!!

Fred is the absolute best!!! You're not just getting a Justice of the Peace and an ordained minister... but also a fantastic wedding planner and new best friend! He is meticulous in his attention to details and ensured we were well prepared for our special day. He even provided the photographer helpful instruction to ensure we have very special memories. To top it off, Fred joined us for the dinner that followed and was a lively conversationalist that everyone adored. When he departed, Fred received a standing ovation from the room. 5 stars doesn't even come close to Fred's actual value! He's become a friend for life!

5 Stars Doesn't Cut It!

We cannot say enough good things about Rev. Fred Harger. A true professional at what he does. Who, not only helped to orchestrate a beautiful ceremony for us but also provided many suggestions, assistance, and direction along the way that kept this bride and groom at ease throughout our wedding.

Rev. Fred Harger has a wealth of knowledge in performing ceremonies and it showed right from the start. From the graceful manner in which our ceremony was written to how it was executed in coordination with the event team, Fred was extremely helpful which made everything flow as smooth as it did.

Not only should 'Be Wed By Fred' qualify for your list of choices, he should be your first choice! Thank you again Fred, we very much appreciate all that you did in making our day so special.

Best Regards,
Waldina and Brian

We recently played music for a wedding Fred officiated: It stands out as being one of the most personal, spontaneous and moving ceremonies of the HUNDREDS we've seen. With depth and humor, Fred's presentation gave everyone in attendance a vibrant sense of what made this couple unique!
