Bannister Wedding 05/09/26

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Mr. Johnson is an amazing officiant. Anytime my wife and I reached out with questions or needed advice, he responded right away. He showed up on time, was extremely polite and professional, and truly went above and beyond. He even helped put boutonnieres on some of the groomsmen — definitely not in the contract lol. He walked us through the entire process and made everything feel easy and stress-free. We’re so grateful for all of his help and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great officiant!

Magical Day thanks to Anthony!

I’ve known Anthony for over 10 years and he is a wonderful person, kind person. My wife and I feel very blessed that he officiated our wedding. He met with us months before the wedding to go over the ceremony. This helped us plan out how to incorporate both Black and Jewish wedding traditions. As for the day of, Anthony went beyond and above. My wife wrote out her vows on sticky notes and was trying to rewrite before the ceremony on index cards. Anthony saw this and rewrote the vows for her. As for the actual ceremony, I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect ceremony. I am forever grateful for Anthony officiating my wedding!

The Perfect Officiant – Personal, Heartfelt, and Unforgettable



We feel so lucky to have had our close friend Anthony J (The Ministry For You LLC)officiate our wedding—and we genuinely couldn’t have imagined anyone better for the role.

From the beginning, Anthony brought warmth, professionalism, and so much heart to the entire experience. Anthony took the time to understand our relationship, our vision, and what we hoped the ceremony would feel like. The result was something deeply personal, beautifully written, and delivered with such sincerity that there wasn’t a dry eye in the crowd.

So many of our guests told us afterward that it was one of the most moving and unique ceremonies they had ever witnessed. It was truly a reflection of who we are as a couple, and that’s all thanks to Anthony’s incredible care, attention to detail, and genuine love for what he does.

If you’re looking for an officiant who will go above and beyond to create a ceremony that’s meaningful, heartfelt, and tailored perfectly to you, look no further. The Ministry For You LLC made our day unforgettable, and we’ll always be grateful.

Highly, highly recommend!

Outstanding. Unmatched. So grateful for Mr. Johnson!!!

Rev. Johnson’s delivery on our wedding day was nothing short of exceptional. He struck the perfect balance between reverence and joy, tradition and personalization. Our guests are still talking about how heartfelt and moving the ceremony was. It felt like he wasn’t just officiating—he was blessing our future with every word.

We wholeheartedly recommend Rev. Johnson to any couple looking for a compassionate, professional, and inspiring officiant. He doesn’t just conduct a wedding; he creates a moment you’ll cherish for a lifetime.

Beyond Our Expectations

You’re greeted with Minister Johnson’s warm smile, calm yet unforgettable personality and soft spoken words. My husband is very introverted and I worried he wouldn’t be transparent during our premarital counseling, however, he was very receptive to Minister Johnson and that was truly a blessing in itself. It doesn’t stop there, Minister Johnson officiated our wedding and he showed up looking sharp! We felt that he was a part of our family. He played such a significant role in the overall success of our Wedding day and were forever grateful!

So amazing! Book Now!!

Reverend Anthony was so amazing! My Wife and I couldn’t be more pleased with selecting him to officiate our wedding! This is such a precious, intimate and sacred moment and he made sure he listened to what was important to us from the flow of the ceremony, to the vows, our worship moment and prayer! He took time with us to ensure the most important part of our ceremony still included parts of US!

As an LGBTQ+ couple it was important to have an officiant who believed in marriage equality and who respected our values as believers who found love in one another… The Ministry For You LLC did just that and affirmed our love in the most genuine way and we are forever grateful!

Thanks so much for all you did to ensure our day was memorable and that we did not have to settle for anything less than we desired or deserved from an officiant!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
