Beyond amazing

Most incredible experience!
One of my best friends asked me to perform their wedding! I said YES, but I’ve never officiated a wedding in my life!

Of course I was so stressed, and thank goodness I came across Rev. Brad on Google! He jumped on a quick call with me, and he turned my life upside down for the positive! He’s the most dedicated coach I could have ever asked for!

By the day before wedding, I felt confident I’d be able to do a good job officiating and help to create a very beautiful day for the bride and groom.

After the wedding, I was told that they had never seen anyone perform a nicer wedding! I take only 5% of the credit and Brad deserves 95%. Keep in mind I did everything in just one week!

Brad, you SAVED ME AND I OWE YOU FOREVER! Thank you so much! -Inesa

We love Rev. Brad Hughes!

We give Brad Hughes 5 Stars for a great job Officiating our Wedding!

We enjoyed working with Brad from our first meeting. He brought the perfect balance of fun & professionalism we were looking for in an Officiant. He took the time to get to know us & our story, and personalized our ceremony in a way that felt completely authentic to us, our friends & families, and the tone of our Wedding Day. Brad was organized and professional throughout the process, and he always made sure we had fun no matter what!

Highly recommend Rev. Brad!

Love Story Weddings is the way to go!

Rev. Jake was incredible to work with! From our first phone call to the big day, he was
very organized, professional and took a genuine interest in getting to know us as a couple. When our rehearsal dinner rolled around, he made sure us and our wedding party were well prepared for the order of events for the ceremony. Everything ran so smoothly the day of the wedding! It truly took so much stress off of our shoulders choosing an officiant who would be very involved in our day and allowed us to soak up the moment. Afterwards we received so many compliments of how beautiful the ceremony was and how it was personal to us as a couple. I can’t recommend Jake enough!

Rev. Brad Hughes is super professional and attentive to his couples. We worked with him for a wedding and we communicated via email about the ceremony plans. He lead the rehearsal exactly how he planned with the couple. The wedding day was perfect and we would highly recommend booking Love Story Weddings!
