Highly Recommend Officient Soda

Officiant Soda saved the day for our son's wedding. Unfortunately, the Officiant who was originally scheduled to perform their ceremony unexpectedly passed away three weeks prior to the wedding. Officiant Soda graciously stepped in and quickly eased everyone's worries and concerns. He was calm, charismatic, personable and extremely professional. The ceremony was heartfelt and engaging. Highly, highly recommend!

Fantastic!

After an unfortunate accident with our previous officiant 3 weeks prior to the wedding; Reverend Soda truly came to the rescue and helped us to create a memorable and beautiful ceremony. We wouldn’t have had it any other way and are so thankful that he officiated our wedding.

Organized, professional and committed to excellence

Mr Soda helped us navigate our marriage from the moment we started working with him. Emails were sent with relevant timelines and reminders of things that needed to be completed. The day of the ceremony he made sure everything and everyone was where they needed to be. He even made sure to coordinate his attire to the colors of the groom. We would highly recommend working with Mr Soda. His experience and professionalism will help relieve the stress and anxiety of that special day

Best Officiant Ever!

Brandon is a pro! He was a huge help in the months leading up to our wedding and really kept us on track throughout the process. He sent us a wedding checklist and sent friendly reminders to make sure we were staying on track. That was a huge help since we did not hire a wedding planner. He’s personable and kept us at ease on our special day! I couldn’t have asked for better!

Most Pleased!

We found Rev. Soda after our original officiant had to cancel. He was able to meet right away and provided excellent information in assisting us in creating our ceremony. He was insightful and helped us all along the way. The actual ceremony was perfect and Rev Soda did an amazing job.
