Outstanding service, 5+ stars!

We were beyond thrilled to have Pastor Chris officiate our wedding. We found him online and decided to reach after reading reviews. Chris was excellent in every way. Prior to the wedding, we met with him in person three times. Each of these meetings were extremely beneficial not only to the ceremony planning but also to our general mental states (mine, in particular, with all the pre-wedding stress!). He gave us his undivided attention and support, and brought with him years of experience. Chris has a calm and measured demeanor but is also humorous - exactly what we were looking for. If you're looking for a great wedding officiant, reach out to Chris - you won't regret it!

Highly highly recommend Pastor Chris!!

My husband and I just got married in September and Pastor Chris was our officiant for the ceremony. To say the ceremony was everything we ever dreamed of and more is an understatement. We met with Pastor Chris a couple times before the big day to talk things over and so that he could get to know us. He was so kind and responsive, and really supportive throughout the entire wedding planning process. He truly wanted us to focus on ourselves and helped us remember that this day was meant for us. Our ceremony was the perfect length and had such sweet personal touches. He engaged with our guests, and added some humor to make the ceremony that much more enjoyable. It was exactly what we wanted!! We highly recommend Pastor Chris!

He did an amazing job!

I emailed back and forth with him. We talked over the phone and the day of the wedding he did a great job! The service was short like we wanted and he added a little bit of humor to get the crowd involved! The ceremony was the first time I met him in person because I had a winter weather so unfortunately I couldn't really have a rehearsal but when I met him during the ceremony I felt at ease and comfortable! I was very impressed and happy! I would definitely recommend him!
