Dreamy- Amazing

Andy & I are so grateful of crossing path with Reverend Calderin (he was definately God sent). He made us feel so comfortable, happy and over all blessed. Don’t hesitate in reaching out!!! The preparation for the ceremony was amazing because it opened up conversations and feelings that normally couples don’t really think about and take it for granted. The ceremony was everything we could ever dream off. Peaceful, fun, easy going and most importantly Gods presence was evident. We are forever thankful.
