Reverend Thomas was professional and performed my wedding ceremony in a unique way that was customized to our individual interests. The influence on our lives did not end with the pronunciation that we were now husband and wife. This minister has been a source of counsel for my husband and I. He is a caring individual who will be a blessing to your nuptials. If you are looking for a licensed highly knowledgeable wedding officiant who will make your day memorable, end your search and hire reverend Thomas. Any negative feedback left by people on this site meant to persuade you form hiring this officiant is purely false and should be disregarded. I invite you to call and investigate his character for yourself. Oh taste and see that the Lord is good!

Rev. Thomas was great! He was on time, friendly, and flexible. He asked us what we needed him to do and he delivered. It was a pleasure meeting him.

Reverend Thomas was beyond awesome! I called him and asked when he would be available and he said when do I need him! We were about a week away from the date and he made it happen with out hesitation! He is so personable, honest, funny and an awesome person all around. I'm so glad we met him and it was a beautiful inexpensive service! He was very flexible!

Reverend Thomas was great, my bride and I had a very brief time window due to our military obligations. He went to great lengths to meet our needs, time constraints, location restrictions, and was very flexible throughout the ordeal even with a short notice/ "on call" situation. Again, thank you so much Rufus for making our special day happen!

This was for a wedding, I must have selected the wrong category & I am unable to change.


I am proud to say that Reverand Rufus Thomas marry my husband & I. He was very professional but also had a great personality that was able to joke around with us & it made our day that more special. He was on time, we were late (oops) and never felt rushed or hurried. Thank you so much & I highly recommend him!
