Extremely Helpful and Thoughtful

We were so grateful for Reverend Sam. He had an extremely helpful guide that walked us through the ceremony process. We wanted to include a hand-fasting aspect to the ceremony and he was able to provide a script for us to include that. Reverend Sam took the time to drive out to the cabin we were staying at two nights before the wedding to ensure my husband and I, as well as the wedding party, were fully prepared for the ceremony. He also took the time to explain the name-change process to me and sent instructions on what to do. We highly recommend Reverend Sam!

Exceeded Expectations

Sam was an incredible officiant for us. I was a little nervous about finding an officiant online but Sam met us more than halfway by letting us have a Zoom with him before hiring him. He was wonderful and mentioned small details about the ceremony that we hadn’t even thought of. He let us plan our ceremony and gave us tons of examples of ceremonies to choose from so we could piece it together how we wanted it. Our guests loved our ceremony and said that he was an excellent reverend. 100/10 definitely recommend!!

Truly Wonderful

We could not be happier with Rev. Sam and his services! We found him through Wedding Wire and immediately knew after reading about the Marrying Man that we found our guy and wasted no time. Rev Sam is incredible punctual with providing important information on what is needed before, during and after the wedding and making himself available to any questions. His experience and expertise with officiating weddings was very clear as he led our rehearsal with a focus on all details and procedures with not only focusing on what we will do but why we do it. We can not recommend Rev. Sam enough as he not only guided us through our ceremony but really enhanced it. Any couple who hires Rev Sam will have an incredible ceremony and wedding

Rev. Sam was wonderful to work with!

We loved having Rev. Sam officiate our wedding! He was super easy to work with and the best part was that he allowed us to create our own ceremony with pieces we liked from a wide range of ceremonies. I thought that was super unique and loved being able to choose the words that meant the most to me. Thank you Rev. Sam for helping our ceremony run smoothly!!

Rev. Sam is the BEST!!

Rev. Sam was awesome!! He helped us plan the perfect ceremony by giving us a ton of templates we could mix, match and make our own. He is extremely personable and professional. He walked my husband and I through the ceremony step by step and after the ceremony, he took it from there! We had our marriage license by the time we got back from our honeymoon. Thank you Rev. Sam!!!
