Perfect Ceremony for Blended Service

When planning our special day it was critical to find someone who could co-officiate our wedding with a spiritual leader from a different faith. Our high expectations were exceeded by Rev. Gary. His experience, strong communication, and ability to personalize the service were incredible.

More specifically, our other officiant was not as experienced with weddings and Rev. Gary was great in terms of taking the lead with the ceremony, maintaining a calm and helpful demeanor, tailoring a personalized message, and capturing the attention of our friends and family.

Further, even when we had a few issues with the weather, Rev. Gary stayed calm and focused, kept the service moving, and made everything appear normal.

We truly could not have envisioned a better service or asked for a better officiant for our special day. I would without question recommend Rev. Gary highly to anyone looking for the right person to officiate their special day.

Outstanding experience!!!

Rev. Gary was an outstanding officiant. I couldn’t say enough good things. Not only did he Capture our essence as a couple, he tailored our ceremony to everything we could possibly want. We weren’t interested in a typical ceremony; so he offered alternate options that were perfect for us.

He is the best!

Oh my goodness I cannot say enough good things about Reverend Gary! He was amazing throughout the whole process!! From the moment we met him, we knew he would be the perfect officiant for us. He was very easy to talk to and made everything simple so I never once felt stressed. He worked with us on every detail of the ceremony and made it exactly what we wanted.

Everything we wanted!

Reverend Gary was everything we wanted! He was so easy to talk to and made the process simple. We talked on the phone, facetime, in person and he was always so happy to speak with us and made sure every detail we wanted in our ceremony was included.
