Perfectly imperfect

We couldn't have asked for a better officiant. From start to finish, he was professional, communicative, and always responded in a timely manner. On our wedding day, he arrived promptly and made sure everything went smoothly.

What stood out most was how dedicated he was to making sure we got exactly the ceremony and experience we wanted. My husband and I eloped on the beach at Pawleys Island, and he made the entire experience feel special and stress-free.

He was funny, patient, and incredibly thoughtful. I wore my hair down, and with the beach wind and the amount of hair I have, that could have been a disaster! He patiently waited while I moved my hair out of my face and even positioned us for photos so the wind would blow my hair back instead of into my face.

He also made sure to capture specific photos we requested. Even though he described himself as an amateur photographer, he did an amazing job. His attention to detail, kindness, and professionalism made our day even more memorable.

Overall, everything was perfectly imperfect, and we are so grateful we chose him. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant who genuinely cares about making your wedding day special. ❤️

Best to work with, hands down!

They are the absolute best! Patrick is the guy to ask for. He made the entire day super easy, and was also super nice and lighthearted, making everyone laugh. He calmed our nerves when it got a little tense at times, was very considerate of our elders in the group, and had extreme attention to detail when it came to directing photography and music. I couldn’t recommend him enough!

Highly Recommend!

Rev. Benjy Simmons was absolutely amazing and made our wedding ceremony truly special and meaningful. His words were heartfelt, personal, and delivered with such warmth that they touched everyone in attendance.

He has been part of many important moments in our family, including officiating my cousin’s and aunt’s weddings, as well as baptizing my dad and baby cousins. Having someone who has shared so many milestones with our family made our ceremony even more meaningful. We are incredibly grateful and highly recommend Rev. Benjy Simmons to anyone looking for a wonderful officiant.

Thanksgiving Eve wedding

We Called Simple Wedding day about a month prior to our wedding date, not sure if we could find someone to make things work for us. Pastor Holt was phenomenal! We were even able to get him to do pictures for us. Our wedding was exactly what we dreamed it would be. Our family members even commented on how perfect and "simple" everything was. Thank you so much!

Highly Recommended!

My wife and I recently had the privilege of having Rev Benjy Simmons as the officiant for our wedding. We were from out of town and did not know anyone in the area. We got to know Revy Benjy of the past year and are extremely grateful we asked him to be our officiant. He was professional, kind and truly made our ceremony feel meaningful. If you are looking for someone who genuinely cares about making your wedding day special we highly recommend Rev Benjy Simmons.

The best wedding officiants and photographer

Simple Wedding Day not only made our day memorable, but it was also a blast. When my husband and I celebrated our seventh and thirteenth wedding anniversaries, we renewed our wedding vows with them. Patrick was fantastic, and the photos he shot were amazing. Our family has grown close to Simple Wedding Day, and we are excited to have them back for our vow renewal on our 21st anniversary.

Thank you Patrick

Patrick made our day amazing. He felt like a best friend who was marrying us. He made himself seem like he was “just someone who took pictures” and our photography came out amazing. We got our pictures the moment we were done which was a plus for us! If you’re going to elope on the beach please choose this man, i will be renewing my vows with him. the flexibility and accommodation was awesome. he checked in with us so much, filed for us. thank you a million times over.

Vow Renewal

Patrick was wonderful. The ceremony for our 20th wedding anniversary vow renewal was perfect. Eveything went just as planned and went smoothly. We came from WV and the communication was great. Photographer captured great pictures and we didn’t have to do anything but show up. Would highly recommend for your wedding or intimate vow renewal such as ours.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
