Nate is the best ! We highly recommend Nate !

Nate was absolutely amazing ! My husband and I had a list of other pastors we wanted to talk to but he was our first and our only ! We knew we needed to choose him right away ! He is very calm , sweet , and confident in what he does which really put us at ease . Nate has an incredible ceremony outline and does a wonderful job customizing it . EVERYONE at our wedding came up to us to let us know how great he was ! They were all very impressed and loved the ceremony! My husband and I are beyond thrilled we chose Nate to marry us ! Thank you for being apart of our special day !

Nate was the best of the very best!

Nate was the absolute best Pastor we could have ever hoped for to marry us on our wedding day. He truly made our wedding ceremony so enjoyable and over the top meaningful. I feel as if my husband and I had known him for much longer than just 3 months. He was so easy to work with, and really customized our ceremony so that it was personal and incredibly special. Because my husband and I live in Texas, we were a bit stressed about who would be able to marry us in Orange County, and I feel super blessed we were given Nate’s name. If you want your wedding ceremony to be perfect - hire Nate Castro. You will be so happy you did.

Nate is amazing!

Nate was amazing to work with! As soon as my fiance and I spoke with him, we knew he was our guy. He seriously made our ceremony so special and meaningful and everybody loved it! My parents have said over a dozen times how much they loved the ceremony and how great of a job Nate did. We also did six months of pre-marriage counseling which was also amazing. I truly think it allowed both of us to get to know each other before the big day.
We are definitely going to refer everyone we know to Nate when our friends decide to get married!

Amazing Pastor for our Ceremony

We could not have chosen a better pastor than Nate for our ceremony. He left everyone in our ceremony in happy tears, and he was thoughtful, energetic, and impactful. In the beginning of our ceremony, the microphone suddenly stopped working. That did not stop Nate from continuing without pause, making sure to speak loudly and clearly for all to hear. Nate had spoken with us before-hand, and really got to know our story and about us as a couple. He was able to combine both my husband and I’s story from our perspectives beautifully, making for a sentimental and hilarious retelling. One of our favorite parts of the ceremony was when Nate shared our “bridal party compliments” (he had reached out to our bridal party to describe both my groom and I previously). This was something I have NEVER seen at another ceremony, and it was so sweet and thoughtful. We also loved when he asked us to take a minute and look around at all those there that day to support and love us. Because of Nate, our ceremony was truly magical (and full of happy tears!). Nate, thank you for being so thoughtful in your writing, and delivering so beautiful. So many people had told us at the reception that that was the best ceremony they had ever been to! If you want to feel at complete ease that your ceremony will be meaningful and beautiful, choose Nate as your officiant.

Exceptional

We found Nate through our wedding apps. He was a wonderful officiant and provided a beautiful ceremony service for me and husband. We couldn’t have been happier with our ceremony. Nate went above and beyond to make our service feel personalized to us. He was very kind and patient with us. We highly recommend Nate as an officiant and we are so glad we chose him to marry us!

Amazing and professional

Nate was so great before and during our ceremony! My husband is Christian and he wanted to have someone that shared his same faith officiating our wedding. The ceremony was beautiful, he asked us some questions during the planning process and incorporated them into the ceremony and everything was so perfect. He sent over a form of what he will say with some options to chose, we had chosen to do traditional vows but we also wanted to read something to each other in our own words and everything ended up flowing amazing. I would absolutely recommend Nate for your wedding !
