Specializing in customized Christian ceremonies

Congratulations on your engagement! I am an ordained, nondenominational pastor who has been performing weddings for 10 years, with over 125 ceremonies under my belt.

I enjoy helping couples craft a ceremony that uniquely represents you. It can be a short, simple ceremony or one with many special elements.

I am passionate about the spiritual dimension of marriage and strive to honor that in the wedding ceremony. I believe that in honoring the tradition and spiritual aspect of marriage, your ceremony will be one you and your guests will find both meaningful and memorable.

I am a graduate of Fuller Theological Seminary, and have served in various ministry roles in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Los Angeles, California, North Carolina, and Virginia Beach. My resume includes marriage counseling, student and family ministry, officiating weddings, and I currently serve as Pastor at New City Church in Charlotte.

I have been married 21 years to Lyndsay (pictured above) and we have 3 kids!

We are so grateful that Heath was our officiant!!

My husband and I not only got engaged during the brink of covid starting, but we also decided to get married that year in October of 2020! Heath and his wife were so kind to meet with us to learn more about us, our children, and our future plans. He recommended a quiz & books for us and gave us more to think about as we left and continued our wedding plans! Heath asked us ahead of time if we had any preferences on what we wanted him to talk about during the ceremony but we really gave him free rein as we already trusted him as our Pastor. We were absolutely blown away by the message he delivered. 1 Corinthians 13: 4-7 is the verse that really resonated in us and will always mean something very special to us. Thank you so much Heath for being there for us during such a crazy year and making our special day happen!

We spoke to Pastor Heath via phone up to the day of the wedding. He asked the right questions to get to know our personalities leading up to our big day. Our parents and grandparents were so impressed with the ceremony, Pastor Heath made the ceremony personal (with a few good jokes thrown in there), not stressful, and very easy when it came to planning, on our end. Very flexible with scheduling and truly cares to make your big day as great as you imagined!

I would 100% recommend Pastor Heath to any future couples getting married :)

Heath Krueger was an amazing Wedding Officiant. He genially cared about wanting to get to know my husband and me before our big day. He asked several questions to understand our relationship, to know how we met, how we work as a team, and what our plans are for our future. Heath provided a beautiful sermon on our wedding day that made us feel so special. It was truly a beautiful and magical moment that we will remember forever.

Having a Pastor you feel comfortable around is important when you and your significant other are making the decision to be joined in holy matrimony. Heath was nothing short of a blessing for us. He kept things light and humorous while always keeping God first in his message and made sure not to lose sight of that. We love Heath and so thankful he was a big part of our special day!

Heath was fantastic to work with! He helped us start building our marriage prior to our wedding. Through counseling he gave us practical advice and helped us navigate situations that could arise once we were married. Heath helped us in planning and conducted a ceremony that reflected our relationship and what we had in mind for our day. He is great at making it all unique to the individual couple and is a great friend!

We loved using Heath as our wedding officiant! My husband and I knew that we wanted to have a religious ceremony despite not having our wedding in a church. Heath did an amazing job of incorporating facts about us into the ceremony as well as tying in religious elements, which we really appreciated. He also seemed genuinely excited to be participating in our day! We really enjoyed working with him -- he was incredibly responsive, friendly, and had good suggestions for our ceremony. We had numerous people comment afterwards on how much they enjoyed the ceremony and we did too!

Heath,
We were so honored to have Heath officiate out wedding! His positive spirit was a true blessing in the planning stages of the wedding. We selected him to advise as a marriage consular and felt so prepared for the wedding ceremony and staring our new journey. Our guests loved his message and charge to a beautiful life together. Most of our friends and family's comments were about the ceremony and Pastor. How Heath's message was the best part of the day! They all thought he was a personal friend--
Very professional. personal and everyone thought we had knew him for years, when we just met him a couple of months before the wedding. EVERYONE kept asking us how we knew Heath. Great Guy and our wedding would not have been as special without him!

Heath Krueger officiated our wedding with absolute ease and style. The ceremony was beyond perfect and laid back (which helped ease both my husband and I's nervousness). To be honest, both my husband and I had never met Heath until our venue coordinator suggested him to us. His character emitted a very relaxed, calm, and modern spin on the "typical" officiant. Heath was more than flexible with our specific needs and wants for our wedding ceremony and made the awkward not awkward at all (I mean our meetings were at a local Panera Bread where we would sit at a booth and my husband and I would stuff our faces with endless amounts of food while Heath sat there with a glass of water and talked like we were old friends, calm as a cucumber). He is very professional, quick to reply to emails, texts, and returns phone calls in a timely manner. Both my husband and I would DEFINITELY recommend Heath to anyone looking for a great officiant for their wedding.

Pastor Heath Krueger was amazing. My husband and I are so blessed to have found him and lucky that he was with us on our wedding day. We got the opportunity to meet with Pastor Heath (and his wonderful wife Lyndsay) several times before the big day. We chatted with him about everything and he really helped us to focus on our relationship strengths and what to continue to work on. He was always available to us and always willing to offer advice.

Some of the most important things to us for our wedding ceremony and in finding an officiant, was that he be genuine, able to help us have a Christian-focused ceremony (even though we weren’t in a church) and really knew us. We wanted our ceremony to be customized to us and our individual personalities and character. Heath also wants all of those things for everyone he works with. This was made very clear in his delivery at our ceremony. It was perfect for us. No cookie cutter statements, no reciting words, just a very genuine delivery about our love.

We absolutely love Heath and are so appreciative of everything he did for us for our wedding. We plan to stay in touch with him and his wife and feel lucky we have met them.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Heath did a beautiful job for our daughter's wedding! It was not only beautiful but personal! I would highly recommend Heath for your wedding! Rm Vintage Table supplied all the tableware for the reception and although Heath did not attend the reception (His choice) He did take time after the wedding to hang around a while for photos!
