Jessica P. Married on 06/04/2022The best!
Where to begin? From day one when we spoke with Rev. Ed, we were so impressed by his kindness and professionalism. He just makes you feel at ease, and we knew this was someone we wanted to officiate our wedding. The whole process was seamless. With weddings sometimes come stress, but not with this decision and process. The ceremony was absolutely amazing. So many of our guests complimented us on the ceremony and also Rev. Ed. Everything was, dare I say, perfect. Thank you for a meaningful and special ceremony that exceeded our expectations and then some! -

I had the pleasure of working with Reverend Ed this past weekend. He was awesome. Down to earth, very easy to communicate with and has a booming voice that your guests will have no trouble hearing without the aid of a microphone! Can't wait to work with reverend Ed again in the future!
Ed was fantastic as a minister for a recent wedding we did for Amanda & Craig at the Inn at Millrace Pond. It was an extremely hot day outside, which the ceremony was outdoors. Despite the conditions, Ed arrived on time, came prepared fully dressed in his formal attire, and went over the details with me (Chris the DJ) without complaints or difficulty. I quickly showed him how to work the microphone. What stood out the most about Ed is that he went above and beyond to take the microphone and reposition it during the bride & groom's vows. We were on point the entire ceremony and commend all his efforts in working smoothly with us!
Reverend Ed is well spoken, down to earth, and professional. A pleasure to work with!
