Perfect solution for a sweet, meaningful wedding

Celtic Ministries and Rev. Cian made our special day absolutely perfect. They worked with us to find a location, to help plan our small ceremony, and even provided a witness for our Alaska elopement. We found out late in our planning that the Anchorage court only does justice of the peace weddings on Fridays. We had only a few weeks to pivot to a wedding with an officiant. Celtic Ministries was our answer, and made our wedding even more special than we had anticipated. Rev. Cian met with us a couple times prior to talk through our backgrounds and our goals for the wedding. He wove handfasting into our ceremony at our request, which added even more meaning of the special day. Thank you Celtic Ministries. We are so happy with how our Alaska wedding turned out.... much better than we ever dreamt.

Fantastic Wedding Service

Rev. Cian did an amazing job with our wedding service. He was very polite and accommodating to our requests. He requested that we send him our love story so that he could write a personalized service for my wife and I. We also had several little requests that we wanted him to include in the wedding and he perfectly included all of them. Thanks so much to Rev. Cian and Celtic Ministries!

Rev Cian and Rev Brandren were the Best!

We were very pleased with the communication, the professionalism, the willingness to travel, and the flexibility of both Rev Cian and Rev Branden. From the day we contacted them through receiving our official marriage certificate, everything was perfect. We cannot recommend them enough!

Reverend Cian is the best!

Our ceremony could not have gone better. From the start, Rev. Cian was there for us to answer all of our questions. He also walked us through how the ceremony was going to go, step by step. He was a total professional and was exactly what we were looking for when we first planned our event. We highly recommend him for your ceremony!

Absolute best clergy ever!

Rev. Cian is the best at what he does. So responsive, down to earth, and super great sense of humor. Had all the necessary forms that I mistakingly didn't bring with us, and had the best patience for our videographer holding up the elopement. Would 100% like to buy him a beer next time we're in Anchorage!

So easy to work with!

Weddings can be a very stressful time with all of the planning and orchestrating. Sometimes all you want/need is a vendor that knows what they're doing and can take some of the burden off our your plate. Insert Reverend Cian. He was incredible to work!

April 2025 Wedding

Rev. Cian was amazing and so kind and helpful throughout the whole process. He walked us through all the official/paperwork steps so it was very easy, then chose a beautiful spot for the wedding close to where we were staying. The ceremony was perfect for us and everything we hoped for. Very highly recommend 😊

We eloped in Alaska!

We live in Chicago and Rev. Cian was thoughtful, kind, and helpful with when he suggested an absolutely beautiful location for our ceremony. Even the Alaskan rain didn't deter him from delivering heart-felt words that made the day perfect.

Wed on a glacier!

We were already spending time in Alaska when my fiance asked about getting married on a glacier. Sounded easy enough to talk about but maybe that is a bit of a stretch. Turns out that it was fairly easy. When you google that, you find multiple event coordinators, photographers, etc. We needed just an officiate and a helicopter south of Anchorage (on our way to Homer). We found the perfect team with Celtic Ministries and Alpine Air. Pilot was both pilot and 'photographer' and did an outstanding job at both. The bonus were the pictures before and after the ceremony by Reverand Brandon. Unexpected and quite a surprise. Fantastic job in both photography as well as the ceremony! They kept in touch several times with questions about details, etc. They even provided an Alaskan peonies bouquet. Would highly recommend Celtic Ministries without reservation!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
