Peter was one of two ministers we hired for our Hindu/Non-Denominational wedding (the other was a Hindu priest). When I was planning the wedding, everyone kept saying that a combined Hindu and Christian wedding couldn't be done because there were too many differences between the traditions, but I was determined to make it happen. Peter took care of writing all of the parts we wanted to include for the non-denominational parts of the wedding, and did a seamless job of handing things off back and forth with the hindu priest so that the wedding flowed smoothly. Because we knew the ceremony would take an hour, I was afraid that people would get bored listening after awhile, but Peter did a great job of bringing some energy into it and kept everyone paying attention. We were so happy with our ceremony.

Peter was fabulous to work with. My husband and I were in a bind a month out of our wedding when the officiant we originally picked backed out on us. I called Peter, he got right back to me the same day and we set up a meeting asap. He was the perfect choice for us, he knew exactly what he was doing and made the process simple while still allowing us choices to personalize the ceremony to fit us perfectly. I can't tell you how many people came up to me after and said that they thought our officiant was a friend or relative of ours and knew me personally. Guests also commented that the ceremony was the best they'd ever witnessed and it was so heartfelt and touching which isn't always the case. Peter was SO professional. I can't recommend him highly enough!

Peter is a Perfect Officiant

Peter was an exceptional officiant for our wedding. With a mix of English-speaking and Chinese-speaking guests, he made sure everyone felt included and enjoyed the ceremony, regardless of language barriers. Peter provided us with a thoughtful script, and after a few minor adjustments, it was exactly what we envisioned for our special day. His delivery was flawless—articulate, engaging, and highly professional.

We also incorporated a sand ceremony, which was Peter's wonderful suggestion, and it added a meaningful touch that we hadn’t initially considered. Throughout the planning process, he was incredibly responsive, always quick to reply to emails, and arrived early on the day of the wedding to ensure everything was in place.

We couldn't have asked for a better officiant and wholeheartedly recommend Peter to anyone looking for a truly memorable wedding ceremony.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

My couple couldn't have been happier with the way the ceremony turned out. I highly recommend him to any couple who is looking for an officiant that will listen to them and make the wedding truly their own and have fun dong it! Thanks Peter! Can't wait to work together again!
