Terrific Officiant

Gust did an outstanding job for my wedding. He was very easy and understanding to work with. Our ceremony had storms going on but he delivered the speech perfectly. I’m happy we chose Gust!

Wonderful Experience having Gust officiate our wedding

Gust was absolutely wonderful in leading our wedding ceremony and officiating our beautiful day. From the minute we first spoke to Gust, he put us at ease with his caring a professional manner. We were very pleased with every aspect, from him having us fill out a detailed form, to get to know us and then hand crafting a beautiful personalized ceremony based on the information he gained from us. Our family and friends commented many times on how lovely the ceremony was and what a great job Gust did. Gust also rehearsed with us ahead of time, so that everything went perfectly. He was very prompt and took time to get to know everyone before the ceremony. His thoughtful approach to our wedding definitely was noticed by all who attended and we are so happy that we had a perfect wedding day due to his preparation and kindness. We would highly recommend Gust to our family and friends :)

Perfect for our Wedding

Gust was phenomenal. We had guests ask us after the wedding if he was a family friend because our ceremony was perfect for us. I found Gust on Wedding Wire and after a couple on-line conversations of our wishes he made our ceremony personal, relatable for our guests and light hearted with some laughter along the way.

Gust never skipped a beat!

It was a pleasure talking with Gust from the very start! When the original minister we hired cancelled only weeks before our daughter's wedding, Gust put my mind at ease with a very smooth transition. We arrived at the beach for the sunset ceremony only to realize we told Gust the wrong beach! Gust raced over without skipping a beat and arrived with a great big comforting smile on his face. He performed the ceremony calmly and flawlessly just in time as the sun was setting. Thanks Gust for a beautiful start to 2021!

Highly Recommend Gust!

Gust was the perfect choice for officiant of our wedding. Not only did my bridal party, and my wedding coordinator rave about how professional and classy he was, my husband and I loved the process with him even before our wedding day arrived. From day one we were able to face-time and chat through what I was looking for. Gust was very easy to communicate with through phone and email about ceremony structure and script making sure we were getting the ceremony we had imagined. My husband and I sat down one night a few months before the wedding and talked through questions Gust had given us about how we met and why we fell in love. This helped him create a custom ceremony tailored to us as a couple. We added some custom vows that made everyone including us cry! It was exactly what I wanted, and everything went smoothly. I highly recommend Gust.

We and our guests loved Gust

Gust was a fantastic officiant for our September 2019 wedding. He immediately put my now husband and I at ease during our planning process. Gust has a lot of experience and knows what he is doing when it comes to wedding ceremonies, he created a very personalized and sweet script for us which was finalized weeks before the wedding. Gust arrived early on the day of the wedding to work out all the final details with our DJ so everything went off without a hitch with no extra work from me. We received several compliments from guests on the ceremony as it was funny, sweet, personal, and the perfect length. I definitely recommend his services.

Amazing experience.

Gust was fantastic. My wife and I were trying to plan a wedding in Michigan to be closer to our friends and family from our home 1200 miles away. Gust made the whole thing painless by video chatting, keeping us up on a timeline for what he needed, and being prompt and helpful throughout the process. If you need someone I would definitely reach out to him!
