Above and Beyond in Every Way

Words truly cannot express how wonderful Minister Steve was to work with. We were so honored to have him officiate our wedding over Memorial Day weekend. It made our special day even more meaningful, especially since it was also his birthday!

From the very beginning, the entire process was seamless and stress free. Every time we communicated, it felt like we had known him for years. His warm personality, responsiveness, and genuine care made us feel completely at ease.

My husband and Minister Steve connected right away over their shared love of football, which added such a fun and personal touch. We chose the “Full Monte” ceremony package, and it exceeded all of our expectations. Our wedding took place in Hagerstown, Maryland, and he guided us clearly through the process of obtaining our marriage license, even offering support if we ran into any issues.

Despite some hiccups during the rehearsal due to rain and scheduling conflicts with our wedding party, Minister Steve remained calm, reassuring, and incredibly supportive. As a type-A bride, that meant everything to me, he truly helped ease my nerves and reminded me that everything would come together beautifully (and it did!).

He is extremely knowledgeable and guided us through every detail of the ceremony, from the sermon to the vows, pronunciation tips (yes, “lawfully wedded” not “waffly wedding” 😊), and even timing moments like pausing after “you may kiss the bride” for photos. Even when we forgot that pause on the big day, he handled it perfectly by bringing us back with a funny comment that had all of our guests laughing.

Speaking of laughter, his delivery during the ceremony was absolutely perfect. He incorporated lighthearted, meaningful one-liners that reflected who we are as a couple, making the ceremony both heartfelt and memorable for everyone in attendance.

I truly don’t think our wedding would have been the same without him. Minister Steve was supportive, kind, responsive, and truly felt like part of our journey. He’s not only an amazing officiant but also someone you enjoy connecting with on a personal level.

I would recommend him to anyone and everyone not just for officiating weddings, but as a genuinely wonderful person to work with and know.

Beautiful ceremony

We truly could not have asked for a better person to marry us. From the very beginning, Steve made us feel completely comfortable, cared for, and genuinely excited for our wedding day. He took the time to get to know us as a couple, made our ceremony feel personal and meaningful, and spoke with so much warmth and sincerity that there wasn’t a dry eye in the place.
Our guests spoke highly about how beautiful and heartfelt the ceremony was. He brought the perfect balance of professionalism, kindness, humor, and emotion, and made one of the most important moments of our lives feel unforgettable.
If you are looking for someone who truly loves what they do and pours that into every ceremony, this is the person you want standing beside you on your wedding day. We are beyond grateful and will cherish those memories forever. 5 stars honestly doesn’t feel like enough.

The Perfect Day!

We had the most beautiful fall day for our wedding and the perfect ceremony. We wanted a very small and intimate ceremony and that is exactly what Minister Steve gave us. He took the time to learn what we wanted and then wrote the most beautiful ceremony. We couldn’t have been more happy.

Highly recommend

I met Steve at church years ago. It was always a pleasure to hear him preach when our pastor was away. He shared he was doing weddings but I didn't believe I would ever need his services. Fortunately, I took in a young man who became my bonus child. When he told me he wanted to get married, my first thought was Steve. The two of them are a young couple (20 and 21.) He worked with them on the whole process. There were lots of options provided. In the end, they selected a short, sweet and non-religious service. It was exactly what was needed for our small outdoor wedding. He put them at ease during the service and there were many laughs. Yes. I highly recommend Steve for being able to work with young and old, providing all the steps needed to get married, providing many options and being very personable to all.

Minister Steve Wedding Review

I had the pleasure of working with minister Steve for my wedding day, and it was one of the best decisions. My husband and I are not very religious and we did not have anyone we knew personally to marry us. Our wedding planner recommended minister Steve and he did not disappoint. He was timely and communicated with us effectively. He sent us our ceremony well in advance and made changes even the day before the ceremony, because I am so indecisive. We were thrilled with our ceremony and the personal touches he added to make it our own. He even handled mailing in our marriage license and made this process so easy for us.
