Pastor Barry is the BEST! Choose him and you won’t go wrong!

Pastor Barry married my husband and I and I've never seen any other officiant take the time to really personalize our vows and story the way he dia. We did a phone call together and told Barry the story of how we met. He not only told the beautiful story of how we met but put so much meaning and love into the way he told it. He showed up early and met my family, he dressed extremely well and he wore a suit in 95 degree weather and the wedding was outside!
He was absolutely phenomenal and I cannot recommend a better person to perform one of the most important days of your life! Thank you, Barry. You're a true gentleman and an amazing officiant. You never forget to wish us a happy anniversary and it means the world to us.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
