I'm Reverend Don Anderson, a licensed and church ordained minister for over 30 years. I am a student of life and a student of marriage.

Whether you choose a more traditional service, or design your own unique ceremony, I will assist you in every way possible to create the wedding of your dreams.
Services Offered
Defining Moments Ministries is privileged to officiate wedding ceremonies incorporating many faith backgrounds. Vow renewals, rehearsals, and other services may be included. Rev. Don offers premarital and relationship counseling to help couples build a strong foundation for a long and lasting relationship. He creates personalized ceremonies, which may include a couple's own customized vows that will allow them to share the heart of their relationship with others in attendance. With an extensive background in family studies, along with transition and loss counseling, he can incorporate children as a part of the ceremony, as well as address difficult family matters in meaningful ways.
During our wedding in November we had the pleasure of working with Mr. Don Anderson. He was truly wonderful before, during and after the wedding. He took time to learn about both my husband and I, and had genuine conversations with interest in our relationship and it's future. We really appreciated his open line of communication during our experience. We would highly recommend him for anyone searching for an officiant in the area.

The Best Day Ever: 10/12/19
Rev. Don was incredible to work with! We decided to elope to The Smoky Mountains with our immediate family and being an out-of-town bride, so much of my planning relied on reviews from other couples. Rev. Don lives up to his excellent reviews! He worked with us to make our ceremony personalized and included my new stepdaughter (age 9) so well. I felt as though he genuinely wanted to get to know us, provided great advice for our newly-wedded life together, and truly loves marrying couples. Thank you!
