5 Stars!!!

Pastor D was wonderful! I did not have to worry about communication or timeliness amongst all of the crazy wedding week chaos. He reached out to me to do a check in the week before and was there ready to go for the ceremony! He did a wonderful job at making the ceremony exactly what we asked for. Not to mention he also took care of the marriage license for us!! This is such a small detail that makes a huge different. We didn’t have to think about it at all and came back from our honeymoon to our marriage certificate in our mailbox. If you’re looking to make this part of your wedding planning as easy as possible, choose Pastor D 😄

Highly recommend

Pastor Howard helped me pick out exactly what I wanted said for our ceremony. Was very helpful in in helping me choose the perfect wording and flow. He's very friendly and easy to chat with. I enjoyed working with him to make our day the best. Thank you so much Pastor Howard for being a part of our special day.

Pastor D made our day special

When we first met with Pastor D over the phone we knew our search for an officiant was over. His energy and charisma made it an easy decision to book his services, not to mention his passion for helping make every couples’ wedding day the event they dreamed of. And our special day was just as we had imagined it. With custom vows, a little humor and perfect delivery, my husband and I had guests and family come up to us during the reception to share their heartfelt compliments (and some even admitted they shed a few tears, the moment clearly touched their hearts). We would recommend Pastor D to any bride and groom considering him as their wedding officiant. Book him with confidence!

Pastor D is amazing!

Pastor D was amazing! There is no one else I would have wanted to marry us! Everything was perfect! He drove over 2 hours to be there with us. Also, I reached out to him that week so it was last minute. It was sweet, simple, exactly what we wanted! We would recommend him to everyone!

Pastor D, we can not thank you enough for the lovely service you gave us! Your presence, tone, and delivery made it exactly what we desired! Your services are a beautiful memory of our day! Thank you so much for making our day memorable! God Bless you!

💜,
Daniel and Brittne Woody

"Pastor D did an incredible job officiating our wedding! He brought the perfect balance to our ceremony, including just the right amount of humor to keep things light and joyful. We were especially moved by how beautifully and thoughtfully he honored our loved ones who have passed away. It meant the world to us and our families. Pastor D made our special day unforgettable, and we highly recommend him!"

Our Wedding Day

Pastor D was out of this world, not only friendly professional and had a sense of humor. Price was reasonable and vowels are written just for you. Couldn’t have asked for a better Pastor to officiate our wedding.
