My name is Dr. Derrick Fielder. I am a licensed officiant and ordained minister serving Atlanta and the surrounding area. I worked over 20 years as a pastor in GA.

I would enjoy working with you to craft a ceremony that is unique, personal, and meaningful. I meet with you before the ceremony, either in person or over the phone, to provide a free consultation and to get to know you better.

We have a wonderful team of officiants that are ready to serve you!

Couldn’t have chosen a better officiant for our wedding!

I’m so glad we asked Rev. Rodney Hunt to officiate our wedding! Our ceremony was planned in 10 days, and primarily by myself (the bride). Rodney was so incredibly kind and helpful, and working with him really was so stress-free. He works as part of a group called Sensational Ceremonies, and they provide some templates that you can customize, so that you have some starting point for the kind of ceremony you want to have. There are Christian traditional options, and some that are more modern and secular, and there are lots of examples of additions you can add. We chose to add in a segment where we wrote personal letters to each other, and we also did handfasting and the warming of the rings. Rodney was also available for us to call or email with questions at any time. Our ceremony was beautiful, and Rodney read exactly what we wrote, which made my husband and I really happy. He also encouraged us beforehand to send him separate emails listing some things that we both love about each other. We decided to keep our letters unread until we could do so privately after the ceremony had ended, and so as we formally exchanged the letters during the ceremony, Rodney read the emails we had sent him. It was really touching and beautiful, and it was sweet that we both had turned out to love some of the same things without realizing it. Rodney also arrived a full hour and a half before our wedding began, and was so kind and helpful. My dad was our photographer, but when he needed to be in the picture, Rodney offered to take the photos for us. He did a wonderful job! My husband and I could not have had a more beautiful wedding, or a more wonderful day, and Rodney was a huge part of that. We highly, highly recommend him!

Keith made our BIG day perfect!

We knew we picked the right person during our first meeting with Keith. He took the time to get to know us and what we wanted. He had open communication with us via phone, email and ZOOM.
All of our guests enjoyed the ceremony because Keith's script was heartfelt, not too long, and he allowed for my now husband I to truly shine. We are so happy that we hired Keith because he made our wedding day absolutlely perfect!

Such a great experience

Reverend Hunt was the officiant for my brother and sister in-law's wedding a few years ago. My husband and I loved the ceremony so much that 3 years later we asked him to officiate our own. He personalizes the ceremony and recommends different aspects to make it so meaningful and memorable. For example, Rev. Hunt recommended that we read personal letters to each other during the ceremony which we were hesitant about doing at first. This aspect made the ceremony so much more meaningful to us, and all of our guests came up to us afterwards saying how it was the sweetest ceremony they have been to because of that. My husband and I will definitely cherish the ceremony and Rev Hunt made it run so smoothly! Leading up to the ceremony, he made planning it so easy and had a great template with so many options to choose from. Would 10/10 recommend

You will not regret booking him!

Rev Rodney was such a blessing to us. We ended up having to find an officiant least minute and after doing search after search I finally found sensational ceremonies and Rev Rodney reached out to me. I loved how everything was laid out and I could pick and chose what I wanted, they have several different ceremony types. We had issues with our officiant prior because we did not want a religious ceremony but for Rev Rodney that was not an issue and he was nonjudgmental. It was such an easy process and was not stressful at all. He showed up early to the ceremony to check on the groom and I. He spoke well and it was truly a beautiful ceremony. I was so pleased. You have to book him!! He is the best and we cannot thank him enough.

Stop right now, you need Rodney Hunt to officiate your wedding!!

I have nothing but AMAZING things about Reverend Rodney Hunt. He was super responsive and walked us through every single step of the process. Coming from out of state, (Maryland) I was a little confused and worried about the marriage license process. He outlined everything for us and made this process so easy. He wowed my family with how well spoken and professional he is. Rodney Hunt had a way of making us feel comfortable and calm. He came a little early to meet my family and get acclimated with our venue. Book him now, look no further, you will have zero regrets!!! Thank you Rodney Hunt for being a very important piece of our wedding day!!

All we could we ask for in an Officiant!

Reverend Rodney Hunt was all we could ever ask for in an officiant for our wedding! My wife and I were an out of town couple looking for an officiant for our wedding taking place in Atlanta, GA. He was extremely easy to work with and even though we did not know Rodney before the process - on the day of the wedding, it felt like we had known each other for years as he did his homework and was genuinely interested in getting to know us as a couple. The passion, attention to detail, experience, poise and composure that Rodney exuded during the entire process was unmatched. He is very responsive, always on time and personable. Even in all the craziness when the wedding was over he made sure to find us to congratulate us prior to departing. We would recommend Rodney a 100 times over. You will not be disappointed!

Rev. Rodney is a favorite at our venue! His ceremonies are meaningful, personal and enjoyable to listen to. An officiant requires a personal connection with the Bride and Groom and he establishes that quickly! I highly recommend his services.
