Pastor Stephen was a delight to work with! We found him through the knot, and we are so happy we did! We just got married last month on 07/22/23 and by the time our wedding came around, we felt like we were being married by a friend! We decided to do the pre-marital sessions with Stephen, which I can’t recommend enough. We figured it wouldn’t hurt us and could only help. After all of the sessions, we honestly felt stronger as a couple, as silly as that sounds. It was just nice to have an outside perspective from Stephen and a reminder of why we were deciding to get married in the first place. Stephen, thank you for treating us with kindness, for treating us as friends and thank you for helping us become husband and wife! We wouldn’t have wanted anyone else for the job!

My husband and I are spiritual but we do not have a church home. We wanted an officiant that was not just qualified but also relatable. The moment I spoke to Pastor Francis, I knew he was the right person. Not only did Pastor Francis ordain our marriage, he also offered 5 sessions of premarital counseling. Topics covered were facilitated with the use of a book titled: Saving Your Marriage Before it Starts , which also included a workbook that my husband and I had to read and answer questions based on our individual beliefs. My experience with the premarital counseling sessions were phenomenal. The tools we gained to improve our communication were so helpful. Also my husband, like most men, shy away from counseling sessions. Initially he was reluctant to participate lol! He said to me "All we need is someone to marry us and that I always want to be extra!" But after our first session with Pastor Francis, my husband was praising him and asking me if he should find out if the Pastor does individual counseling sessions because he felt very comfortable talking to him; especially about his feelings on love, family and anything that fell under that umbrella. After we completed the sessions, Pastor Francis orchestrated our wedding rehearsal and helped us prepare for our ceremony by allowing us to select from an array of ceremony readings that were traditional, religious, non religious etc. Once married the Pastor handled the paperwork so that we can obtain our marriage license. From start to finish Pastor Francis was on point! Just an all around amazing person. I would absolutely recommend his services and we look forward to continuing the counseling sessions with him. If you are looking for a Pastor or even a marriage counselor, stop right here. You hit the jackpot.
