About

A retired Army chaplain experienced in dealing with people from many different traditions for over three decades. I may be old, but I haven't lost my sense of humor, and I trust that you haven't either.

If you haven't noticed, there is no template for a wedding, it is yours. I would be pleased to help you shape it.

Give me a holler if I can be of assistance...and don't worry about the money, I let you decide what to pay...really!

Perfect Wedding Ceremony!

Chaplain Wayne has his ceremony down to a science. It was exactly what we wanted, short and sweet, filled with laughs and love. Chaplain Wayne is very professional and even met with us a few times beforehand for marital counseling. We can't recommend him enough!

Stop looking!

This was the best choice to have when it comes to getting married and looking for an officiant. Super friendly, lots of laughs and all together just an amazing human.

Being new to the area, I was worried about finding a Christian Man to marry us. Wayne was so awesome! I can't say enough good things about him.

Great experience. Would highly recommend weddingwire.

Perfect officiant for our special day

Chaplain Wayne performed our wedding ceremony this past weekend. We had an intimate outdoor wedding and Wayne was perfect for our special day. He was charismatic, funny, and well spoken during the ceremony. He reflected our traditional views, but made the ceremony lighthearted and special. Also, he drove several hours just to perform our wedding in the beautiful Keystone mountains. His attire was the perfect added touch to our rustic outdoor wedding. The following day, people were still talking about what a great job he did! I can’t recommend him enough!

What a delightful ceremony he performed for our daughter and her now, husband. They found him through online reviews and they were not disappointed. He is charismatic, engaging, full of appropriate humor in the ceremony and we enjoyed visiting with him at the reception and rehearsal dinner.

Chaplain Wayne MacKirdy was the best officiant we could have chosen. My husband and I met with him a couple months before for lunch and he had so many great stories, was kind and funny. It was also nice because he was in the military for many years so my husband and him chatted about that. He went over how he does everything and is so experienced, I had no worries of how everything would flow. Since he's done so many weddings, he is very flexible and accommodating and asked us what we wanted to incorporate to the ceremony as well (we added Bible readings and did the sand ceremony which he suggested). While he wasn't at our rehearsal, our ceremony was the best. He knew exactly what to say, added in a few jokes (made everyone laugh!), included the Our Father (which I personally loved), and made it very special for us. All of our friends and family told us how much they loved him and thought it was the most perfect ceremony-not too long but not too short and he fit it to us. After the ceremony, our guests loved chatting with him! Such an amazing man and we were so blessed to have him as our officiant. Overall, he was great and I would highly recommend him for your ceremony!

Chaplain Wayne was amazing! He made our day so special and was really perfect!! We met him once before the ceremony to have dinner and really make sure we clicked and that we felt comfortable with him. He's a very knowledgeable, interesting, experienced guy! He was prompt and on time to our ceremony and really interacted with our guests. He has a "pay what you can" structure which was nice! Seriously can not express how thankful we are for Chaplain Wayne!

If you want easy going, funny and personable this is your man. Chaplin Wayne was perfect for our wedding. The ceremony was not long and drawn out. He made us comfortable and has the same Christian values that we have. He spent time speaking with our family which we really appreciated. Thank you Chaplin Wayne! We are truly blessed to have found you!
