Eric was amazing!

Eric traveled to our wedding on 9/9/22 on the Siletz River, in Lincoln City. The venue was our backyard of our home. It was a casual wedding. Eric had an outline prepared for us prior to the wedding. He did a great job getting to know us, and prepared a perfect wedding ceremony for us. He was an excellent combination of funny, serious, sentimental, and light hearted. We are grateful for Eric marrying us, and we highly recommend him!

Look no further, this is your officiant!

We are so fortunate to have found Pastor Eric. We did a few premarital coaching sessions with him prior to our elopement day and it was super beneficial that even after we got married, we are continuing to discuss in depth some conversation topics that are not everyday topics.

Prior to our special day, we were nervous as heck, but Pastor Eric made it easy for us by giving us options for the ceremony and letting us choose certain parts of the ceremony to make it our own. The entire ceremony was short and sweet, super light-hearted and memorable, which is exactly what we wanted.

Thank you for being a part of our special day! Intimate elopement or a big wedding, we highly recommend Pastor Eric!

Excellence

Eric was incredible. He spent time getting to know us beforehand and applied who we are into the ceremony. He is charismatic without being cheesy. He absolutely loves marrying people and being part of their big day and I definitely give him my best rating.

One of the best !

I am a wedding Vendor (DJ) and I assisted in a wedding Ceremony performed by Destination Ceremonies officiant Eric Tastet last weekend. Eric did a phenomenal job. It was extremely hot (100+) and he kept the ceremony flowing beautifully.
He was articulate, confident, entertaining and very professional .
He is very experienced and would be a welcome addition to your wedding vendor team. He is new to Oregon and comes highly recommended !

Vendor to Vendor Review

My team and I had the pleasure of working alongside Eric at our mutual client's wedding at Victorian Belle on April 30th. I have met countless officiants but Eric left a lasting impression. He is kind and effortlessly personable. He has a sense of humor that keeps everyone feeling relaxed and happy, which is so important in this line of work. We hope we get to work with him more in the future!

Pastor Eric went above and beyond!

Pastor Eric went above and beyond! He made our wedding ceremony unique. We got so many compliments about him. He took our love story and put a spin on it. He told his version of it and it had all of our guest entertained! He was so easy to work with and flexible. He is so down to earth! We absolutely loved him and so did our guest! He has a fantastic presence about him! Eric, thank you for making our ceremony meaningful and special to us. We appreciate all the work you put in to make it so wonderful! It was honestly the best ceremony I have ever been to, but I know I am biased :)
We can’t thank you enough!

Eric was a great pastor for our wedding! He believes in marriage and met with us before the wedding at length to give us some advice that was appreciated and helpful. During the ceremony itself he was professional, respectful, eloquent and humorous. He struck a perfect balance between respecting the seriousness of the event and making sure everyone had a good time. I would recommend him to anyone.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
