About

I no longer officiate, but now specialize in marriage preparation. Your love has brought you this far; be sure that you know the perspectives and relational tools that will get you the rest of the way to happily ever after.

Let me help you affirm your relationship strengths and develop those areas that can be stronger. We can do this through private sessions and/or through one or more of the seminars I lead.

Doug was an absolutely amazing officiant. Everyone from both sides of our family commented to us about how much they enjoyed him and how pleasant he was. Not only was he extremely organized and professional, he was friendly, well-spoken and an overall great person to work with.

Doug also provided our per-marital counseling which I would HIGHLY recommend to anyone before getting married. He brought up really great points and how to deal with them in marriage and how to make your marriage last forever. He worked with our schedules extremely well in order to make sessions work for both of us.

Doug is an overall great pastor and his values and beliefs are definitely aligned with mine and my family's. I would recommend him to anyone and would be very happy to work with him again. Thank you again for everything, Doug!

I have known Doug Burford since I was in high school. I know his wife and children, and I know that he has taken great care to lead his family in the love and fear of the Lord. We were honored to have him officiate our wedding. He has a wealth of experience as a pastor, counselor, mentor and leader. His service was perfectly organized and timed and thoughtfully composed. He was always attentive, easy to get a hold of, and always approachable. Many of my friends and relatives do not share our faith, but he made them feel welcomed, included, and loved. I do not know anyone who I would recommend more highly for this position. The person officiating your wedding should be someone you respect, admire, and hope to emulate. I am gratefully to have received Doug's blessing on our marriage. Any couple would be lucky to have the chance to receive Doug's wisdom and insight into their lives.

Highly recommend Doug as a relationship coach from the male stand point. The time my wife and myself spent with Doug leading up to our marriage helped us to build a solid chirst centric foundation for our future. He taught us tools and techniques that we still use three years into marriage.
