Our Beautiful Wedding Ceremony

We are so grateful for Rev Steen, we wanted a covenant marriage with God's presence. Rev Steen listened to our needs and advised us on the best way forward with this request. We planned a Ketubah (Rev Steen's suggestion) which is a Jewish Marriage Document that is so lovely when framed it is a great reminder for the promises you make to each other. We choose our words offered by Rev and wrote our own wedding vows which are on our Ketubah. Our wedding was online, we were in the UK in Sutton Coldfield and Rev Steen in Salt lake City. Our guests were also mostly online and were in locations in different parts of the word. My sister was in Guyana in South America, Rev Steen USA, others in different places in the UK. It was great. My mum has dementia and does not leave the house much but she was there online, happy as anything and had a nice words to pass about the wedding. Rev Steen was amazed at how much she resembled his late mother-in-law; beautiful things were said. Our covenant was a serious matter to us, as we are believer's in Christ and the Scriptures and said right at the beginning when we met that we should seek God first. Rev Steen delivered a ceremony where God's presence was real and true - the scriptural reference when spoken felt focused and directed. The advice was spot on. It was absolutely beautiful. After the ceremony our online guests commented on various occasions that Rev Steen was calm and had a good spirit. They said he officiated a beautiful wedding. And it was beautiful. We made it a bit difficult for him because we moved the wedding from a bank holiday Monday to the day before a Sunday and he had his service to attend to at Living Wells ( look it up - you will be pleasantly surprised). That meant that the Reverend had to be online at 8.30; He was online at 8.15. I was late, I couldn't get the it to work. The minute the HDMI was plugged into the Tele the whole thing went to pot. So we got married on a mobile phone in an internet wedding with the Reverend online. Now that's inventive. I love love loved the outcomes on my wedding day and could not imagine it without the Good Reverend. I give praise to the Most High for allowing me to meet someone who wants to serve humanity with all the gifts he has and I give thanks for all he has done to help me and Eliiston on our special day. My vote for Rev Steen is 100%.

Rev. Arland is amazing

Rev. Arland Steen wrote a beautiful and heartfelt speech that encompasses the story of both my husband and I beautifully. I could not have imagined a more perfect ceremony with him being apart of it. All the details he added in it was wonderful. I would highly recommend having Rev. Arland Steen being apart of your wedding and making your special day that much more special.

Hot outside!

I found Arland through the wedding wire website. I had contacted a few people for my ceremony. But found most were unavailable. Arland emailed me and yay! He was available for my Saturday wedding in July. We arranged a phone call. He called right on time, was very professional. Asked great questions and ultimately the call made me feel like I knew him when we hung up. Although it was a billion degrees at my wedding in my back yard. He showed up. Got the rundown of what we were doing. Stood in the blazing sun and performed our wedding very professionally and perfectly for us. It was a great day! Made even better by his services.

Exceptional Experience - Responsive, Flexible, and Proactive

Reverend Steen provided organized, punctual, and flexible officiant services for our non-traditional, short-notice ceremony. His website and consultation forms accurately reflect the diligence and consideration with which he tends to his work. My bride and I were appreciative of his attention to detail, as well as his ability to adapt to our inclinations for the ceremony's structure.

During our wedding day, Reverend Steen was prepared, punctual, and efficient with our shared time together. The ceremony itself proceeded exactly as planned, and our written or verbal intentions were taken into account at every appropriate point.

We recommend Reverend Steen to all who seek a thoughtful, prepared, and truly considerate treatment of their ceremony.

Great Experience

Rev Steen maintained a perfect level of communication with us leading up to our wedding and we really enjoyed the ceremony that he led. We could not have asked for a better day and he was a huge part of that. He tailored the ceremony to just what we wanted and made it a very easy process. We would definitely recommend Rev Steen.

Wonderful officiant

I am so happy that we had Arland as our officiant last weekend! He was very professional, kind, and helpful in the process leading up to our wedding. We did a pre-marital counseling session with him several months before the wedding which we really enjoyed! Then the ceremony at our wedding was perfect! We couldn’t have asked for anything better. It was the right amount of personal, emotional, and religious that we wanted. We are so happy and grateful he was there to help make our wedding day so beautiful!

Hammaker/McNeill Wedding-Pinehurst, NC

Rev. Arland Steen officiated our daughter's wedding and exceeded our expectations. He made us feel at ease throughout the whole planning process! He even kept his composure during the ceremony when a glitch with the microphone tested all of our nerves! The ceremony was meaningful and sincere and was everything we could've wished for and more! Thank you, Arland!!
