Fantastic Experience!!

One of the best decisions we made during wedding planning was choosing to work with Rev. Brad! He truly made the ceremony planning process so enjoyable and easy. Our ceremony was so beautiful and true to us. We received SO many compliments from our guests that it was the most enjoyable wedding ceremony they had been to because of Rev. Brad. We highly recommend Love Story Weddings!!

love spell

I went through the hardest six months of my life after my husband divorced me. I couldn’t eat or sleep, and I felt so empty. While searching online, I found a review from a woman online about how Tunde helped her get her marriage back. At first, I wasn’t sure, but after speaking with her and then with Tunde himself, I decided to give it a try. He promised me results in 48hours and honestly, I didn’t believe it at first. But I followed everything he told me, and today my husband and I are back together. It feels like a miracle, and I’m so grateful. If you’re going through the same pain, don’t give up there’s still hope. You can reach Tunde via email address (babatundesolutioncentre1 @ gmail . com) or visit his website to reach out to him (tundelovespells.weebly.com)

Amazing!!!

Rev. Brad is absolutely amazing! From the moment we met he was personable and always engaged. His counseling sessions were definitely helpful and the SYMBIS is something we will continue to use. We love that he took the time to know us and never played favorites. Rev. Brad always had wonderful words of encouragement and positive energy. He created a beautiful custom ceremony with our love story that our guests truly enjoyed. Laughter, tears, and love was in the air! He allowed us to be our authentic selves and for that we will forever be grateful. We will be keeping in touch and recommend him without a doubt.

The wedding of a lifetime!

Our experience with Love Story Weddings was absolutely perfect from beginning to end. We were searching online for a wedding officiant and came across the Love Story Weddings website and we were intrigued. We requested some information through the website and were contacted by Brad Hughes , the owner of the company, who suggested we set up a zoom meeting to talk about the services available. What was supposed to be a short zoom meeting turned into a two hour long conversation and we were just blown away by Brad and his thoughts and ideas about how he could make our wedding day special. Brad was so helpful and explained all of our options to us and answered all of our questions. (We had alot!) We ended up signing a contract with Love Story Weddings that night because we were so impressed by him and his ideas. Once we signed the contract - which was a quick and easy process - we were emailed a copy that had everything clealy laid out so we knew exactly what to expect. We still had several months until the wedding but anytime we had a question about anything Brad was available to help us and the communication throughout the whole process was excellent. He was very professional and organized. About two months before the wedding we filled out a detailed questionnaire about our relationship and how we met and other details about our love story. We then met with Brad in person so we could discuss the questionnaire and he could get to know us on a more personal level. That meeting went very well and Brad assured us that he would take all of that information and come up with a beautiful script that would be worthy of our amazing love. About two weeks before the wedding that script arrived in our email and it was everything we had hoped for and more! He let us know that if there was anything at all that we wanted to change in the script all we had to do is let him know and he would make the appropriate changes. The whole process felt very collaborative and Brad reminded us many times that the only way he would be happy is if we were 100% happy. On the day of the wedding Brad arrived on time and was looking very dapper. After his arrival he communicated with our other vendors so that everyone would be on the same page for the ceremony. Once the ceremony started Brad did his thing and it was simply amazing. The script he wrote was heartfelt and inspiring and funny when appropriate and his delivery was outstanding. It was everything he promised it would be. We got so many compliments from our guests and many of them said it was the best wedding they had ever been to. Suffice it to say Melissa and I are one million percent happy with the services provided by Love Story Weddings. We were so happy that they were kpart of our amazing day and they made it extra amazing! We recommend this company without hesitation.

Could not be happier!

Rev Brad Hughes could not be any better! He made our process so amazing. Right off the bat after our first meeting, we knew we wanted to work with him. He is so kind, patient, attentive to detail and really takes time to get to know you as a couple. The process prior to the wedding was outstanding! The day of- Brad was calm, collected and helped ease any nerves. He was absolutely wonderful and many guests mentioned that he was their favorite part of the day. Brad, we can’t thank you enough. ❤️

We love Brit

Rev. Brit was an awesome officiant for our wedding 2 weeks ago. He spent plenty of time getting to know us leading up and spoke eloquently during our ceremony. We would recommend hiring Brit.

Incredibly Amazing!

Rev Brad was absolutely phenomenal at our wedding! Extremely professional, diligent, and detail-oriented. At our first meeting, we were stunned to see that he had prepared a full document that went through every single detail that would be needed as a part of the ceremony! This was before any commitments or reservations had been made! Was simply stunning how much effort and time was put toward our personalized wedding ceremony. We had a relatively short ceremony of 30 minutes, but it truly felt as though it encapsulated everything that we had gone through to get to that point. We could not more strongly endorse Rev Brad to be the officiant at your wedding, we promise that it will be one of the best decisions you could make!

The Perfect Service

After our planned Officiant had fallen through just weeks before the wedding, so there was a mad dash for a replacement. We contacted so many services and individuals trying to fill in the space on short notice. We had prepared ourselves to be disappointed with a last-minute solution and even expected needing to compromise on a few things to get this done. We were SO WRONG about that! Once we found Love Story Weddings, the service and offerings couldn't have been any better. Not only were we blown away with the quality, but we also felt more cared for an attended to than ever before. They were able to accommodate everything we had hoped, connect us with the excellent Jonathan Engle, and even helped us to add even more amazing aspects to our big day. The site only gives us 5 stars to choose as the top but let this review mean they're a 10/10 and an A+ from start to finish.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
