About

"I have been a Las Vegas local for as long as I can remember. This city is all I know and I love every inch of it. All the sights, lights, glitter and glam that attract the tourists here on a daily basis is quite remarkable. However, this city is not only business and gaming as some may think. Nevada is known as the wedding capital of the world. Whether by plane or automobile, the one thing you can always expect is that love will always make the trip into this beloved city, and I have the honor to experience it."

The choice of the individual who will conduct your wedding ceremony is incredibly important. The individual sets the tone of your day. It is so important to have someone in control of the event, with great experience and class, with beautiful words and soothing tone. Rev. William was all of that and more. I was not expecting my ceremony to be so moving- it's an odd thing, standing in front of your family and friends speaking words you've heard your whole life. Rev. William made the whole experience incredibly moving, natural and unique. His words and thoughts were touching and eloquent and the warm tone of his voice was incredibly soothing- my Guests all commented on him and the ceremony he gave. I was even told that they felt they were watching a film while listening to him! Prior to the wedding, I asked Rev. William to say a few words to introduce our mother's lighting the unity candle- a break from tradition. That moment was so touching- Rev. William wrote a beautiful piece all about mothers, and their importance within the family unit and their lifelong nurturing and love. It was a touching tribute to our mothers and grandmothers and quite special- one of my favorite moments of the day. For him to take the time to write the piece meant the world to us and truly set up the moment. Rev. William is truly a kind, professional and generous individual. His ceremony had me in tears and truly captured the love and happiness we felt. I would recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant with true class- he is a talented auteur and I'm so glad that we had him conduct our very special ceremony.

We planned our wedding in a short period and part of our package was Rev McFarland as our officiant. Lucky for us Rev McFarland was a perfect addition to our Vegas wedding. We didn't meet him before the wedding, we just had a few emails back and forth. He was very responsive and very professional. His service on the day was funny, warm and very touching. He also went above and beyond for us and ensured our day and marriage started off right. We can't thank him enough for being part of our day!!

I just have to say how perfect everything was. I could not have asked for anything better. Rev. McFarland did an amazing job officiating our ceremony in Las Vegas. We searched so many officiants online until we found the perfect fit. Within 5 minutes of meeting with him, I knew he was the one for us. I may be repeating everyone else (as you can read in the many reviews here), but his words were perfect. He knows just the right things to say. The best part was, the ceremony itself was not too long and not too short. It was just the right length so no one would get bored but it was still very romantic. I will recommend him for anyone looking to get married. Do not pass up a great opportunity to get THE BEST for your day. We are so happy. THANK YOU REV.

Rev. Was amazing. He made our wedding fun, relaxed and his words were very inspiring. This was my second marriage, and by far the best officiant I've ever had. I've been to numerous weddings and rev. Mcfarland its top notch! I hope I don't get divorced, but I'd use him again lol

I cannot say enough of how amazing Reverend McFarland was for us! He really takes the time to get to know his couples. We booked our wedding with him months in advance and added a sand ceremony, and a handfasting ceremony. WOW! Just, WOW! His words blew us away. Either he is a very good actor or he really cares about what he does. Shoot, even if he was acting, I took it all in and was blown away.

If you are looking for an easy going minister who is willing to work with you to find the best fit for your ceremony, HE IS YOUR GUY! Everything he says was so heartfelt and meaningful. My parents cried throughout the entire ceremony, and my Father is not a crier at all!

Reverend McFarland, I just want to thank you for making everything so simple for us. My family loved you. Our guests were so happy to see that you were able to ease some of the nerves before the ceremony. They absolutely loved your wit and humor as well as your serious side for the ceremony itself.

From the bottom of our hearts, we all thank you for you beautiful service.

Rev. MacFarland III is wit, charm and very professional. Something that made my wedding day even more spectacular. He spoke with each of us separately prior to the ceremony, putting us at ease during this nerve wracking event. His ceremony was not only original and emotional, it was extremely heartfelt. I had requested a poem to be read which he worked in beautifully. Every person in the room was drawn in by his graceful words during our wedding. I would definitely recommend Rev. MacFarland III to anyone for their special day!
