    Wonderful Experience!

    Pastor Bob was incredibly flexible to our needs, a wonderful communicator and so light hearted through the chaos of our now combined 4 young sons! Would highly recommend!

    Amazing Officiant and Counselor!

    We are so glad to have had Pastor Hovey as our officiant and premarital counselor! Our wedding guests still compliment how great he was for the ceremony. Very easy to work with and easy to talk to, HIGHLY suggest including his counseling services!
