Very professional and fun. We invited him and his wife to the reception as well. They are easy to talk to and engaging with the guests. Made my daughter's wedding more memorable. The perfect New Orleans style pastor. Applies the bible principles to the wedding ceremony with class and showmanship.

The Best Wedding Officiant, Hands Down!

Around August or September my now husband and I began searching for an officiant for our October 10 wedding. A quick Google search led me to his website and I was instantly sure that he would be marrying us! His energy was so bright and unique..and I was only looking at pictures! I reached out to confirm my date and for the next month or so we kept in communication via call, text, and email.
Fast forward to the wedding day..Minister Campbell arrived about 45 minutes early.(We were the ones running late).The ceremony went EXACTLY as we had previously discussed. The energy that I saw previously was present in him on my special day and was infectious even! It was beautiful! There could not have been a better officiant than Minister Campbell and his wonderful wife Mrs. Jackie! They were compassionate, prompt and professional, reasonably priced, and the communication was impeccable. I will definitely recommend them in the future.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
