Impressive Ceremony

I feel Jim does not charge enough for what he provides. He gave us a wonderful private ceremony in Cades Cove. He was very responsive and handled everything. I really loved the prayer. We could not be any happier. I’ve been to many weddings and I’m proud to say the best one I’ve ever attended was our own. Jim is a genuine man that cares.

Very nice personality and great service!!

Pastor Eastin officiated our wedding at an Airbnb cabin in Pigeon Forge. Communication with him was always prompt. He responded to all of our questions. On the wedding day he brought his photography equipment and took excellent photos during and after the wedding. He was super friendly and made us feel very comfortable. He never made us feel rushed and he took the time to take all of our pictures. He gave us excellent advice for our marriage, and he was very genuine about it!
He had our pics ready super-fast, he gave us a CD, which I turned into a flash drive at Walgreens. Pastor Eastin made our wedding a very special moment. 200% recommend for your special day.

Short, sweet but didn’t leave out the good stuff!

Jim was a perfect fit for us and something about him just made me feel so relaxed. I knew I just wanted something short and sweet. It indeed was but without leaving the good stuff out. Praying before our ceremony is something I didn’t realize would feel so important till afterwards. We are thankful for you.

Vow renewal

We had a great experience with Preacher Jim. We were a little nervous with how to do everything, and he told us what to do and when, and it turned out great.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
