Best day ever!

I would highly recommend. He was very kind, patient, and worked with our schedule. Also responds very quickly and arrived on time for our wedding day. Sweet man for sure and cried during our vows.

Johnson Wedding in Port Gamble

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We were so grateful to have Reverend Valentine officiate our daughter Kristina and her husband Roy’s wedding. His communication throughout the entire process was wonderful—he listened carefully to every request and made sure the ceremony reflected exactly what the couple envisioned. The ceremony itself was absolutely flawless. Reverend Valentine brings such a calm, professional presence that set the perfect tone for the day. He personally checked on everyone prior to the ceremony and his calming energy was a huge blessing in that moment. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a thoughtful and experienced officiant. Again, thank you so much! I understand why port gamble placed you on their preferred vendors list and I’m so grateful that they did.
With gratitude,

Rev. Valentine Was Amazing

When my husband and I began searching for the right officiant for our special day, we chose Rev. Valentine. He was kind, respectful, and his words were thoughtful. He completed a rehearsal with us, was on time, kind, and punctual. He left many of our families and friends in tears with happiness (us too!). We always say when people ask about our marriage, we proudly say, Cupid married us! 💕 Twice! We had a special COVID ceremony for my recently passed Grandma who lost her battle to Dementia almost 2 years ago at our dream venue for a private ceremony due to her being high risk. 💔 Thank you Rev. Valentine for blessing our union. We’re 4 years strong and counting. We highly recommend Rev. Valentine and hope he can renew our vows in the years to come! 🙏

Fantastic Officiant!

Reverend Edwin Valentine was a joy to work with. I coordinated a wedding in Port Gamble that he officiated, and I highly recommend his service to anyone who wants their ceremony to run smoothly and be personalized to the couple. I would love to work with him again in the future.

Perfection

We used Rev. Valentine for our backyard “Soiree” in August 2022. He was professional and charming… really easy to listen to, and put together a perfect ceremony with all the varying elements we wanted to represent our very different families. I would 1000% hire him for my next wedding 😉.

Funny and Sweet

Mr. Valentine officiated our wedding at Thornewood Castle :) During the planning process, he was very professional and quick to respond. He gave us advice on our vows and guided us on what type of ceremony we wanted (ours was religious {Christian Baptist and Catholic}). During our wedding, he arrived on time, early in fact, and added some humor at the end, which we all love and appreciated since our vows had a bit of humor in it too! Definitely have him officiate your wedding!

A Knight In Shining Armor

Our original Officient fell through less than a month before our wedding day. In the midst of Covid and not even knowing if we could go through with the wedding, I sought out Reverend Valentine. This man was gracious and professional and also flexible for our wedding day. He reassured us that if our venue fell through due to local pandemic restrictions that he would be happy to take us down to our local waterfront to perform the ceremony. He relieved so much of my stress and anxiety and was so nice and such a pleasure to work with. Our wedding went on as planned: the venue was perfect, the Reverend was perfect, the whole day was perfect. There was one beautiful day in the middle of 2020 and it was our wedding day. I will be forever grateful.

Absolutely wonder wedding officiant!

Reverend Edwin Valentine was fantastic to work with! He truly made our ceremony exactly what I had envisioned! He’s a very pleasant, calm and collected person as well as very professional, timely, responsive and super flexible. I was so grateful to have found him as he worked diligently on my last minute wedding request. What was also so great is that he was there every step of the way to ensure things turned out the way I wanted. My family really enjoyed his presence and I was extremely pleased with his service. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to hire a beyond outstanding wedding officiant.

Helped make our day great

We hired Reverend Valentine after our original officiant could no longer do our wedding due to the virus. I wasn't sure how this was all going to go and wasn't even sure we could have a wedding. When I talked to Reverend Valentine he said "we will make this happen no matter what." I needed to hear those words. He was very responsive my emails and questions. Be was patient with changes I wanted to make. When we had music issues at the last minute (30 minutes before the ceremony) he ran to his car to get a blue tooth speaker so that I could have the songs I wanted for the ceremony. He was very calm and relaxed. We would recommend Reverend Valentine.

Such a Kind Man of God

The Reverand married us and without our input of verbiage provided to him, he gave the words of scripture that committed us and held us to be accountable to the solemn and commitment of the joining of marriage. His words were so well spoken and he made all of us to make this to be the great and meaningful moment that it was, thanks to him and so grateful in this time of the COVID-19 he made the decision & sacrifice of marrying us. My God richly bless him.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
