Rev. Jack is Amazing

So I was planning a wedding across the ocean and my pastor last minute was unable to make the wedding. In a bit of a panic I came across Rev. Climber and he saved my life. Not only was I trying to plan a million things for the wedding, Rev. Climber totally took care of our entire ceremony. When he asked about specifics of the ceremony I told him I hadn't even though of it yet, so he sends me over a list of ideas and then a format. I honestly couldn't have asked for anything else from him. HIGHLY recommend Rev. Climer

Our officiant to our tale as old as time...

Reverend Jack and his wife were the best! We had an amazing day and it was all possible because of Mountain Valley Ministries. I highly recommend both, husband and wife, to officiate your special day. Thank you so much!

Best of the Best!

Mr and Mrs Jack Climer will take care of you every step of the way-from first meeting until after the ceremony, including filing all the paperwork for the copies of the marriage license. The Climers will customize any ceremony to YOUR needs, and have vast 'life' experience that makes the day even more special. Their compassion and professionalism is unparalleled and I would recommend them to ANY couple considering an independent officiant! You will not be sorry you contacted Mtn Valley ministries.

Thanks, Rev. Jack!

Rev. Jack was fantastic! We couldn't have been married by someone more compassionate, kind, professional, and warm. His experience and demeanor made us super comfortable during what is a stressful experience (planning a wedding!). We can't thank him enough for the beautiful ceremony and experience. Thank you Rev. Jack! -Cierra and Casey

I am the bride, and myself and my now husband can't say enough great things about Rev Jack and Rev Gail. They are the most humble gracious beings I know. When we first met them both, instinct told us that they were the right pick to handle our ceremony. We couldn't have been anymore right. It was a beautiful ceremony and Rev Jack and Rev Gail put together the most beautiful words within our exchange of vows, I don't think anyone else could have done it better. Of course my husband and I wanted to include some personal words to each other as we said our vows and we were able to do that and with our personal words and Rev Jack and Rev Gail words.... it was perfect!!! It all came together just as I dreamed of and we got so many compliments and positive feedback from out guest on how beautiful the ceremony was and what an amazing ceremony Rev Jack gave along with Rev Gail with the hand washing gave. If anyone is looking for the right person of God or if not religious that ok too but Rev Jack and Rev Gail can do it however you want and if you are looking for the best person to word and conduct your ceremony I recommend you book an appointment with Rev Jack and Rev Gail. You will definitely not be disappointed. They make you feel like family and they are so genuine and sincere in the most honest and humble way. I can go on and on and on...... Love them and hope to stay in touch because they feel like family now. Good luck to anyone tying the knot soon.... God bless!!!
