Interfaith Wedding in New York

Demetrius did a fantastic job as our pastor and wedding officiant. He participated in our interfaith wedding, working closely with two Zoroastrian priests and our Church of England minister to help us combine two cultural backgrounds. Demetrius led us through the blessing of the rings and the exchanging of our vows to each other. During this he gave a message that was tailored to us, involved our guests through call and response, and then prayed over us. We were so pleased with how he did our ceremony.

Demetrius was very professional, calm throughout the chaos. and attended multiple calls prior to the event. He was also present at the rehearsal the day prior to the wedding.

We would highly recommend Demetrius as a wedding officiant in the New York area.

Pastor Demetrius was amazing at our wedding!

I was very pleased with our experience with Pastor Demetrius Lawrence for our wedding day. He was attentive to small details of the ceremony, asked us the right questions, and took the extra steps to make the Bride/Groom and family comfortable for the ceremony. He was the perfect officiant for our wedding day.
