Wonderful! He Exceeded All of our Expectations!

Dr. Gaines made our quick elopement so so special! My husband wanted to get married on a beach, and Dr. Gaines made it happen for us with the quickness! It was such a warm and light-hearted ceremony. There were smiles, laughs, tears, and lots of love! It was amazing how he was able to make our ceremony specialized just for us! I highly recommend Dr. Gaines, he will make a truly memorable experience (did I mention he's also a photographer?)!

The Good Doctor is More Than an Officiant

I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Gaines at a wedding this past weekend as the event planner for a wedding he officiated. Dr. Gaines was always early, knew all the tips and tricks to seamlessly get through rehearsals and ceremonies, and was great at playing the crowd. The bride, groom, guests, vendors, and staff loved him. I will be referring him to anyone looking for someone to officiate on their big day. Thank you, Dr. Gaines!

Beautiful and completely original

Dr. Gaines gave us a beautiful ceremony and used the stories and testaments we provided him to complete what was a truly one of a kind set of vows. He walked us through the whole process from the start and we felt very supported by him! Our guests thought he was terrific and he brought people who never cry to tears.

We’re incredibly grateful for him and will cherish the memory of that day!

Outstanding

We do not have a single complaint about Dr. Spencer! He made our ceremony very beautiful and fitting to both myself and my husband's personality. He always knew when to throw a joke in to make the crowd laugh. We had so many of our guests ask where we found him because they loved him. He was so willing to accomadate to any request we have. We had to originally postpone our wedding due to COVID and he was the first one to say just give me a new date and I'll be there when some vendors weren't as willing. I would highly recommend giving Dr. Spencer a call when looking for your wedding Officiant, you will not be disappointed!

Wow, where to being. First, I'm an event DJ who got the honor of working with Dr. Spencer and let me say his professionalism, etiquette, and performance are second to none. I've done dozens of weddings and I've never seen a man paint a picture and create a moment the way Dr. Spencer can. I was as involved as the crowd due to his ability to turn words into stories and bring everyone through an emotional experience. Laughing, tears of joy, and heartfelt moments. If you weren't considering this a must when planning a wedding, let me say this: it's a difference maker that you will be a lifetime thankful for.

Dr. Spencer Gaines… where to start; Dr G. was a pleasure to meet with, plan with, and perform with at our Wedding Ceremony, when we met him the first time to discuss our wedding he really made us feel at ease and ensured us of how perfect it would be….and PERFECT it was!!!! Dr. Gaines is a very professional person, but also makes you feel completely open as a close friend would. He is creative, talented and funny. My wife and I are a bit light hearted and fun people and Dr. Gaines was able to create a ceremony that truly reflected the people we are and our guests know us to be. I cannot thank him enough! Our guests had nothing but good things to say about his ability to keep them in tuned to the ceremony and not have 1 second go by that you weren’t feeling some form of emotion and depth in his words. Such a please, thank you Dr. Gaines for all you did to make our wedding more than we could have expected.

Spence did an amazing job keeping me and my husband update to date on all of the details of our special day. On the day of the wedding, he reminded us to let him handle the details and to relax. Our wedding was just as we had planned and his ceremony and words were perfectly matched to who we are as a couple. His personal touch throughout the wedding day made our day that much more special!
