We wanted an extremely simple, small wedding ceremony on the beach at sunset here in Myrtle Beach with only our closest family members. When researching officiants, we found most of their options had too many “frills” attached for us. We were impressed by the simple (as well as extravagant) and affordable options on Eric’s website and the option to completely customize our ceremony, which is what we did.
I gave Eric a call and he answered immediately. He took plenty of time to ask me questions about what our dream wedding day looked like, and to answer all the questions I had. I immediately felt comfortable, at ease, and understood by Eric. We hired him on the spot.
He was very prompt in every email and phone communication we had in the 3 months leading up to the wedding. He was even so kind as to provide detailed information on how to obtain a marriage license, and some options for local photographers. He even had us fill out a wedding questionnaire that I could update as many times as I liked as our plans or desires for our wedding day changed over time. I also appreciated that he called us the day before the wedding to go over all the details one last time. He was so gracious about and happy to oblige our last minute change!
The day of our wedding, Eric arrived early to the beach and was very well-prepared! When our pin for the groom’s bountaneer went missing right before the ceremony, we had no time to panic because Eric immediately removed a box of pins from his bag and was so kind as to expertly pin it on the groom. Eric then guided us all to the chosen spot and expertly arranged us so that my hair was not blown around crazily by the wind and somehow the sun was not directly in anyone’s eyes. He also kindly arranged our family members so they were close enough to hear, while leaving plenty of room for our photographer.
Eric read beautifully the ceremony we wrote and emailed to him ahead of time, with no mistakes. We really enjoyed the sound of his voice and his pacing and pausing of the ceremony. He is a phenomenal speaker, and gave gentle guidance and cues so we knew when to perform which action.
He also did a great job preparing the paperwork, and explaining all the legalities to us. He was also so sweet taking a photo with us and texting it to us afterwards. I would highly recommend Eric to any couple. He is flexible, incredibly kind, and truly loves his job. He offers Southern hospitality, expert advice and guidance, and is eager to help. Thank you, Eric!

Beautiful ceremony tailor excellently to us!

We wanted a shorter non religious ceremony and he delivered just that while adding a personalized feel with details and stories about us. We had multiple guests come up to us during the reception to compliment him. He was fantastic from start to finish and we would gladly recommend him to anyone looking for an Officiant.
