Highly Recommend!

Rev. Frye and Amy were easy to work with, give you lots of freedom (and support/assistance) when designing your wedding ceremony, and were easy to communicate with throughout the planning process. They were particularly fantastic during the rehearsal and the actual wedding ceremony, helping everyone get organized and making sure everything runs smoothly. Even when my DJ was unable to provide music for the ceremony as planned, they helped keep things on track and calm despite that huge unforeseen complication (which resulted in me walking down the aisle in dead silence…until my sisters orchestrated some singing from the crowd). My grandma (who had strong feelings about wanting me to get married at a church) even admitted to really liking Rev. Frye, and saying that my ceremony was better than most church ceremonies she’s been to. Highly recommend (and grandma approved)!

Rev Roy and his Lovely Wife are a great service to use!

My husband and I are non-religious and they made our ceremony still so romantic and meaningful. They sent a bunch of examples of different types of ceremonies, readings and more. They also sent us a draft that we could customize to exactly what we'd like. They made the license process easy and Rev Roy was very entertaining and helpful throughout the process

Absolutely Amazing

Working with the Rev was by far the calmest and easiest part of our wedding planning. They were very helpful if the the planning and laying out of the ceremony. He guided us through exactly what we needed to make the ceremony exactly what we envisioned. Up to this point, we couldn't have asked for a better officiant. When it came to the rehearsal and day off the Rev and his assistant both kicked into high gear and made the day amazing. I don't think our wedding would have been half as nice if it wasn't for the help and direction of them both. I would recommend them for every person who is looking for a officiant!!!!!

Rev. Roy is awesome!

We had Rev. Roy as the officiant for our wedding (and he also baptized me) and he was SO great! From the time I called for date availability to the end of our ceremony, he as kind, flexible, funny & extremely professional. We wanted to honor the person who introduced us and he made a suggestion on how to do that based on our history and it was such a hit! It was an absolute pleasure working with he and Amy and would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone!

Amazing Wedding Officiant!

Reverend Roy was a fantastic officiant for our wedding. Service Ministries is a wonderful team. We were so pleased with the amount of resources that we received. It was so fun to work through the materials and create the ceremony of our dreams. My husband is Jewish and I am Catholic so it was important to create a ceremony that honored both of our religions and heritages. Most importantly to us was that the ceremony represented us as a couple and celebrated our family. With the materials provided by Service Ministries, we were able to create the perfect ceremony for us. After we chose the materials, we emailed them to Rev. Roy and he created a draft ceremony for us. He was very open to changes and wanted us to be very happy with the end product. I gave him a few suggestions and the returned product was perfection! It was such a relief to have the exact ceremony that we wanted to represent our love and union. During the rehearsal, Amy was able to wrangle our large wedding party and make everyone feel at ease. During the day of the wedding, Reverend Roy showed up early and even signed our ketubah. Reverend Roy was a total pro and was even able to roll with the punches when I realized that we forgot our wedding rings during the ceremony! Ha! Amy was so helpful throughout the entire process, she was amazing! We would highly recommend Service Ministries for anyone planning a wedding!

We are incredibly happy with the service we received from Service Ministries. Rev. Roy Frye did an amazing job as our Officiant and Amy Burke did an incredible job keeping us organized. Amy's description of Rev. Frye couldn't be more accurate - 'a cross between your grandpa and Santa Clause.' Rev. Frye is just a genuinely nice guy, easy to get along with, professional in appearance and fun for everyone. Thank you for helping us tie the knot!

Rev. Roy and Amy were amazing from beginning thru the ceremony. They were both so easy to work with, very calming and reassuring. With this being a second marriage for both of us we wanted to do things differently than the traditional ceremony we both had before. Rev Roy understood what we wanted and assisted us on how to personalize our dream ceremony. It was everything we wanted and more! Amy, Rev Roy's coordinator, was beyond incredible! She made sure everything went off without a problem and when one arose, orange pop spilled down a white dress shirt, there she was with a Tide pen in seconds, stain gone! Our decision to choose Rev Roy and Amy was one of our best ones!!

We are so happy that we chose Service Ministries and Reverend Frye to officiate our wedding. We wanted a religious, non-denominational ceremony to fit both of our backgrounds (Catholic & Protestant). Service Ministries allowed us to customize our ceremony to include specific readings, scripture, and prayers - and the result was a perfect mix of romance and spirituality. The ceremony is one of my favorite memories of the wedding day and I can't wait to watch the video to re-live those moments. You will not regret choosing Service Ministries - Rev Frye and Amy truly care about your ceremony and making it exactly what you imagine.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
