Couldn't have Asked for Better

William recently supported us in conducting a last minute wedding plan to surprise our family the day after the 4th of July. Some of our biggest concerns were availability with the holiday so close to our wedding date. William was very proactive in guiding us to develop a plan for the ceremony, first holding meetings with us to get to know us and understand our needs. He personalized the entire ceremony and catered to us and our family in a way that was helpful and much appreciated. He was very personable during the service and also ensured that the family was taken care of and involved as needed. He went above and beyond to ensure that all of the minor details were addressed and that we would not have any hiccups during the ceremony. He worked with the photographer to confirm what shots would be taken and when he should be in or out of pictures. This was great experience for us and we greatly recommend.

Our Wedding Day

Reverend Ward was awesome! Leading up to our big day, Reverend Ward kept consistent communication with us such as counseling and check ups! We truly feel like we wouldn’t have had it any other way!
