LoveNotes and Buster Noah were excellent!
We had to reschedule our wedding due to COVID. unfortunately our original minister was not available for the new date. We came across LoveNotes and were blown away! We had no idea a company like this existed.. but we picked our officiant, did a Zoom Call to learn more about him and way he loves weddings so much, then had a few check ins and met Buster at the rehearsal. It was everything we wanted and then some. fully customizable, Buster was extremely responsive and the price was very fair. Buster and the rest of the crew at LoveNotes genuinely enjoy presiding over weddings, and you can tell he just feels comfortable at the alter which made up comfortable. We would absolutely recommend this service, and Buster Noah in particular!.

Professional & Fun
Marty Younkin was great to work with, we met him for the first time in February and it was like we had known him our entire lives. He spent time to get to know our families and the entire bridal party and even did some mingling with the guest prior to the ceremony. We chose to do a relatively traditional service, but Marty was able to add some funny comments and moments so our guest enjoyed it more. We would highly recommend Marty for friend’s events..

Our Special Day
Earlier this February my wife and I were married, this was a day that we will remember and cherish for the rest of our lives. I can not express the gratitude that we share for Marty Younkin and Love Notes Weddings, they made our day special and Marty spoke incredible words that we will always cherish.

Marty was able to deliver the most kind words as well as words of faith through scripture, that was a must during our ceremony. His warm heart and kind spirit shined through before, during and after the ceremony, and it was like he had known us for years.
We strongly recommend Marty and Love Notes Weddings. They made our dreams come true and we can not thank them enough.

Barron Bell
Associate Minister
Barron Bell is a Texas boy through and through. He is a native of Dallas, TX, a graduate of Texas A&M (Gig ‘em Aggies!) and he completed graduate studies at Austin Presbyterian Seminary. Barron has spent 42 years providing ministerial services to people from all walks of life. His experience includes assisting couples in achieving their goals and dreams for their big day. He believes every bride and groom should be able to say ‘that’s exactly what I wanted’ at the end of their ceremony. He has learned it takes both creativity and sensitivity when working with couples, their families, and their vendors in order to give brides and grooms the wedding of their dreams and ‘keep the peace’ at the same time. Barron says, ‘The wedding lasts for a day, but relationships last forever…if people are considerate of one another. It’s important to keep that in perspective when planning a wedding.’
