Shore Cliff Wedding

First off, me and my wife want to thank Wayne from the bottom of our hearts for how amazing of a job he did. He was very helpful and thoughtful in helping us through the entire process, even to the point of meeting in person to help guide us through it all. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to orientate and officiate us into the next chapter of our lives. It was truly a blessing to have him there to make it official. He listened to our needs but at the same time got straight to the point. If we were to rank Wayne, we’d give him an 11 out of 10. He’s a very jolly and funny guy, which helps through the pressures of a wedding. Thank you again Wayne for everything, we couldn’t be happier!

Wayne is an absolute treasure

We can't begin to express how grateful we are to have found Wayne to officiate our intimate ranch wedding. It was important to us to find someone with a warm and earnest demeanor who could help us feel at ease on our special day. From our first facetime call we knew we were in good hands with Wayne. He made us feel very comfortable and provided much needed expertise as we crafted the ceremony together. He was flexible in making sure the ceremony reflected exactly what we envisioned including an Irish handfasting ceremony. We were so anxious leading up to the big day and Wayne's light hearted demeanor really calmed our nerves. The day went off without a hitch.

Thank you Wayne for your guidance, professionalism and humor throughout the whole process! We couldn't have done it without you!

Thank you again for making our day so memorable!

We had the absolute pleasure of having Wayne officiate our wedding, and we couldn’t be more grateful. From the very beginning, [he/she/they] took the time to get to know us, understand our story, and craft a ceremony that felt deeply personal, meaningful, and true to who we are.

The ceremony was beautifully delivered—heartfelt, warm, and full of joy. Many of our guests told us afterward how touching and unique it was. Wayne struck the perfect balance between emotional and light-hearted, and set the perfect tone for the rest of the celebration.

We truly couldn’t have asked for a better officiant. If you’re looking for someone who is professional, kind, and genuinely invested in creating a special experience, we highly recommend him.

Fantastic Service!

My now wife and I were looking to elope and we had a specific day in mind. Everything was working against us, and Reverend Wayne was prompt in his response and ready to perform our ceremony right away! His demeanor was fantastic, he was extremely kind and understanding, and truly respected us and our wishes. We couldn’t have asked for a better moment in time for ourselves, and are thankful that the Reverend was the one to lead the way for us. PLEASE give One Spirit Ministries the opportunity to lead your special ceremony, you won’t regret it!

A dream come true.

Wayne was awesome in communicating via text or phone calls. He helped us find a location that suited us and a diner for afterwards. He was there before us, dressed professionally, even matched the groom on purpose. It was a beautiful wedding on the beach outdoors with friends and family. He sent our documents via mail to our courthouse, and we got our marraige certificate just 1 week and 2 days later at our local Hall of Records office.

If you are looking for a fun, kind, and professional wedding officiant, Wayne is your guy..

We were delighted with how our wedding ceremony turned out. He collaborated with us on the ceremony creating a unique experience for our guests. Our guests loved it so much that they said that it was one of the best wedding experiences they had been to. Wayne is kind and funny. He used humor during the ceremony which helped us relax and feel comfortable. I would recommend hin to anyone in the SLO area.
