If you’re looking for a minister who is not only incredibly professional but also genuinely warm, easygoing, and captivating, look no further than Evan Poe. From the moment we connected with him, everything felt effortless. He guided us through the entire process with such grace and clarity that we felt completely at ease every step of the way.

Evan has a presence that is both calming and powerful. His speaking ability is nothing short of extraordinary—every word he speaks feels meaningful and heartfelt. I’ve heard many speakers over the years, but Evan is truly in a league of his own. He knows how to engage every person in the room, bring emotion to the moment, and still keep things joyful and full of love.

Not only did he lead a beautiful and personalized ceremony, but he also made the experience enjoyable and stress-free. His professionalism is top-tier, yet he makes you feel like you’re working with a trusted friend.

There is no doubt in my mind that Evan Poe is the best minister in Virginia, and I can’t recommend him enough. If you want someone who will make your special day even more meaningful and memorable, Evan is the one you want standing with you.

Evan was very prompt in answering our request and was extremely professional in his communication. He tailored the ceremony to exactly our needs and wants, as well as answering our dozens of questions. Prior to the ceremony, he was very responsive and helpful, making sure to check in consistently about our details but not so much as to be overbearing. Day-of was a breeze with Evan. He knew the Norfolk Botanical Gardens well already and showed up early. He instructed us on what looked best for pictures and presentation from his experience, and walked us through what to do as newlyweds, but not so much as to be overwhelming or overbearing. Highly recommend Married by Evan!

Evan was INCREDIBLE, to say the least! He did an absolutely amazing job capturing our love story and reflecting our personalities and relationship in such a genuine and meaningful way. It was so clear that he took the time to get to know my husband and me before our big day, and that personal touch made our ceremony even more special.
Not only did he make our ceremony everything we could have hoped for, but our guests are STILL talking about how amazing our officiant was, both during the reception and even days after the wedding! He truly went above and beyond, and we couldn’t have imagined having anyone else marry us. If you’re looking for someone who will make your ceremony personal, heartfelt, and memorable, Evan is your guy. We cannot recommend him enough!

Evan had great communication, was organized, and really understood our vision. Our marriage ceremony was EXACTLY what we asked for and we highly recommend him!

Evan was so professional and our experience using his service was amazing. He was very flexible and incorporated our vision during his process. Thank you so much Evan! 

We can’t say enough! Evan was great. We renewed our vows for our 20th anniversary.   He made it an easy and smooth event, considering we were planning this from 250 miles away. He was on time. His communication was excellent. He sent us a few questions to get an idea of what we wanted, and matched it perfectly. We would recommend Evan to anyone. Toby & Stacy Barnhart

Evan provided  exactly what we wanted in our ceremony.Communication is excellent, offers help if you need recommendations on local services like flower shops etc. We could not be happier with our choice to have Evan for our ceremony. We will never forget him and we thank God he was a part of our important day.

The ceremony was the part of our wedding I was most anxious about, but it ended up being my absolute favorite part of the entire day — all thanks to Evan. The number of guests who came up to us to say how amazing the ceremony was is astronomical, and people are still talking about it a month later.
From our very first consultation to the moment we said “I do,” Evan was consistent, professional, and genuinely invested in making our ceremony exactly what we wanted. He delivered it flawlessly — warm, personal, and so authentically us. He created a space where we could truly be ourselves, and it felt like he had known us for years.
I could not stop raving about Evan and his incredible skill. He has a gift for making such an important moment feel effortless, meaningful, and unforgettable. Truly a wonderful experience from start to finish.

We had such a wonderful experience with Evan as our officiant for our September 26th wedding! He was so kind, professional, and easy to work with throughout the entire process. He made everything feel simple and stress-free, and our ceremony was exactly what we had hoped for. We are so happy we chose Evan to be part of our special day and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding officiant!

From the beginning to the end of our wedding, Evan was spectacular in all of the aspects. From being our officiant to quickly changing over to be our bartender. There was a brief moment where things weren't going as planned during the day of our wedding day. But, Evan stepped in and his words of encouragement to just keep going helped us greatly to deliver such a memorable and special day.

During our ceremony, his officiant services were 1000/10. He told our story so beautifully and included every part of our story and delivered it to the T. He included everything that we had asked for during our initial meeting and even more, that made our ceremony feel even special to us and our family/friends.

His bartending services were outstanding! No backed up lines, no issues, no complaints! Him and his assistant provided the best bar services to our friends/family and everyone had a great time! We did run out of Tequila very quickly, not knowing our guests were heavy tequila drinkers, but that was no issue to Evan and his assistant. He still provided the best bar service he could and everyone was happy!

We wish we could give Evan more than a 5 star rating!
Thank you so much Evan!
