Great Experience!

My fiancé and I had a hard time finding an officiant that we felt comfortable with. That is until we met Bill and his wife! They were so easy to talk to and made us feel like they really cared about us. Throughout the wedding planning process they were responsive and answered any questions we had!

Bill came for our rehearsal which was great and simple! Then for the wedding, he was GREAT! He was exactly what we were looking for & our guests all complimented how beautiful our ceremony was and how awesome the officiant was! We would recommend Captain Bill again and again. Thank you so much!

We couldn't be happier with our Ceremony officiant!! Captain Davis was great, our family and guests could clearly understand him, kept it short and sweet, didn't ramble or get off track. We had a few sched. changes when setting up our consultation, he was more than willing to go the extra mile. Very easy to talk to and clear about any clarification we needed. Thank you so much, you will be a part of our special day forever!!!

We cannot say enough good things about our ceremony with Captain C. W. Davis (Captain Bill)! He helped us create a ceremony that was everything we wanted; meaningful and personal.

Captain Bill and his wife, Sheryl, were wonderful to work with through the planning process. He was flexible with any suggestions we had and things we wanted to include.

On the day of, he and his wife were a Godsend. We started our ceremony a bit early because we were concerned we might get some rain, and they helped make sure we were organized to walk down the aisle. He told us that he didn't need a microphone, and he was totally right. We just got our video back and saw just how well he was able to project his voice.

Our ceremony was perfect. It was lighthearted at times and serious at all of the important times. My husband and I had written emotional vows and Captain Bill knew when to encourage us when we needed to take a breath because we were choked up. So many guests came up to us after the ceremony to ask us about him and tell us how much they enjoyed him as our officiant.

We highly, highly recommend Nautical Star Weddings if you're looking for an officiant!
