Amazing Officiant!

I knew after our initial conversation with Pastor Lawrence that he was going to be a great addition to our wedding and he did not disappoint. Pastor Lawrence had a commanding presence and delivered an amazing Word during our ceremony. I was slightly nervous but he made everyone feel at ease. The ceremony started about 20 minutes late and he was incredibly patient with us.

Pastor Lawrence was also present for our rehearsal. It was truly an honor having him as an officiant. I would highly recommend him to anyone and I believe after a conversation, everyone would agree.
