August 2025 Wedding

We are so thankful to have had Pastor Pete as our officiant. From our very first conversation, he was warm, genuine, and made us feel completely at ease. He guided us through the process with care and professionalism, and on our wedding day he delivered the most beautiful and heartfelt ceremony. His words were thoughtful, personal, and set the perfect tone for our celebration.

Our guests could not stop talking about how moving and meaningful the ceremony was. Pastor Pete truly made our day unforgettable, and we are forever grateful that he was part of it. We highly recommend him to any couple looking for an officiant who is kind, professional, and truly dedicated to making your wedding day special.

Pastor Pete is the BEST!

Pastor Pete was our officiant for our April 2022 wedding at GVR. Originally, we were set to marry at the M Resort and Pastor Pete with Elegant Vegas Weddings was included in our package. Our wedding was postponed 3 times due to the pandemic and Pastor Pete stayed with us until our latest wedding date in a new venue. He was easy to work with through emails, and has a lot of experience with many different Vegas venues and wedding coordinators. We had 3 years to follow many different vendors and watch other Las Vegas wedding videos, Pastor Pete is very popular, highly sought out officiant--- and for a good reason! He has a great presence when you meet him, and he made sure we had time to meet before our ceremony to review details. He made our wedding ceremony very personalized, including our veil/cord unity. He added a good amount of marriage wisdom in a clever way, and humor to keep things light hearted for our wedding guests. One plus that I just noticed in our wedding videos/photos, without any previous instruction, Pastor Pete had moved himself out of the area once we had our first kiss! I know that is important to many brides for pictorial aesthetics, but he is so experienced that you don’t even realize small detail differences until looking back at photos. Our guests complimented and raved about our vendors, and Pastor Pete was one of our top favorites amongst the guests. Thank you Pastor Pete for our lovely ceremony!

Peter was Awesome!

Elegant Vegas Weddings was including in our wedding package through our venue. We were hesitant at first but we are so happy we used Peter. He is very professional, listens to your wishes and delivers. We couldn’t be happier with our ceremony.

Love all around

When we were planning our wedding we had our own officiant but due to unforeseen circumstances he was not able to perform the ceremony. Jidel @ Gold Coast hotel recommended Pastor Peter with Elegant Vegas Weddings and she was right. I guess you could say it was meant to be or fate that we decided to give them a call. I'm happy to say we made the perfect choice and would highly recommend them if you are looking for an officiant. Our officiant Michael Rivera Jr gave us the most memorable ceremony a couple could ask for. He not only included our family in the ceremony but most importantly made it all about us. I strongly feel he was always meant to be part of our lives. Thank you very much to Michael Rivera Jr. and the entire Elegant vegas wedding family Pastor Pete for making our wedding a wonderful and memorable event. We will remember you always.

Neon Museum exclusive vendor

We got married last month at the Neon Museum and went through Elegant Vegas Weddings since they were the venue's exclusive vendor. Originally, we were assigned Pastor Pete's wife, but if you go to their website, they have profiles of all of their officiants. After doing some research , we went with Rev. Roland August as "The King". Roland is an absolute natural at his art, and he makes it look easy. He's quite the performer--singing, dancing, and entertaining--and has a great sense of humor, but what's perhaps even more impressive is his officiating. The way he delivers his message felt personal and uplifting, like you couldn't help but be caught up in the love, excitement, and preciousness of the moment. It was not too longwinded or cheesy, just on point. In fact, we would've had Roland officiate even if he didn't have an Elvis option, but he was able to put on a show at a time when shows have gone dark due to COVID. Made for a really fun and memorable ceremony that I can just keep raving about! He stayed for pictures afterwards and even helped us save a bunch on flowers, suggesting we check out Vons grocery, which sold beautiful bouquets and boutonnieres. Communication was quick and easy both with Roland and Elegant Vegas Weddings. Would wholeheartedly recommend!

The Most Wonderful People!

Hello from Down Under!
My name is CJ and my wife is Marika. We are from Adelaide, South Australia. We met Pastor Pete and Reverend Daniele on August 20th of 2011, whilst on a Harley touring/Sturgis vacation through the Colonies in Frisco, Colorado. I struck up a conversation one morning after breakfast at the front of our hotel with one of Pete's travel companions who introduced us to him and 'The Gang', as we came to affectionately call them. My wife told Pastor Pete that "our family back home thinks we came to America to get married!" (which we didn't by the way!) so Pete said "well, why don't we do it, right here and right now!??" So we did!
Let me tell you folks, Pete (and Daniele!) is such a natural with people! He has a way about him and how he performs your ceremony that makes you both feel special on a day that is yours, even if ours was an impromptu decision! As a matter of fact, the whole Gang took part! Other than the day Marika and I met as teenagers years ago, it was the best day of my/our entire life, without word of a lie! We had the Colorado Rockies as our 'ceremony back-drop', and surrounded by Harleys! "and one Piglet!" (which is what we call touring bikes that aren't Harleys! It got a laugh! and a OOOHHHH!)
It has become a day that we never will forget, and has also become a story to tell that everyone we tell it to loves to hear. Pastor Pete and Reverend Daniele also did another ceremony for us the following year in January, 2012 for our family back home in Oz via Skype in our (HUGE!) garage at home, again surrounded by friends and Harleys, and dressed as we were that day in shorts and Harley gear!
We can quite happily highly recommend Pastor Pete and Reverend Daniele and all at Elegant Vegas Weddings to perform your special ceremony on your special day!
Thank you so much Pastor Pete and Reverend Daniele (and The Gang!), from your mates from Down Under in South Oz, CJ & Marika

More than we could have hoped for!

Hi Pastor Pete,
It was 3 short weeks ago today when you performed the most incredible wedding service of your career. And fortunately for us, it was ours! Me and Susan couldn't have been happier with the way thigs turned out and the job you did. Many people afterwards asked "how long have you known him"? It was personalized, charming, funny and sweet. From all the choices we had, we feel totally blessed that we choose Pastor Pete to bond us in matrimony and give us such great memories to last us a lifetime. Thank you so much, you've made the two of us, and our guests in attendance, so, so happy. God bless you Pete.

Much love,
Bob and Susan.

Awesome job! Very fun officiant

Pete Starzyk did a fantastic job for our
wedding yesterday! Not only is he very good at what he does, but he was

Fun & Talented Officiant

Pastor Pete was our officiant for our wedding at Anthem Country Club and he was amazing! He scheduled a time to meet with us beforehand to get to know us as a couple so that he could personalize our ceremony and vows, which was very much appreciated! He added wit and humor to our ceremony but was also sure to make it thoughtful and impactful as well. We loved him and so did our guests! He was a pleasure to work with throughout the entire planning process and he led a perfect and memorable ceremony for us. We couldn't be happier to have had him as our officiant on our big day! Thank you Pastor Pete and Reverend Daniele for everything, we truly appreciate your time and consideration towards making our wedding ceremony absolutely perfect and incredibly fun! :)

Pastor Pete just asked from the beginning what we wanted, and he made it so. On the day of the wedding we even got a surprise.
Aside from his professionalism, organizational talent and good communication, he is the nicest guy you will ever meet. He really delivered without compromise!

We were planning our wedding out of town through the Platinum Hotel, so we had only spoken to Pastor Pete via email. Months before, he provided us with a questionnaire so he could get to know us before the ceremony, as well as a list of hints and tips for getting your marriage application in, etc. I thought the hints were a nice touch and very helpful.

Pastor Pete was SO NICE and informative the day-of. He made us feel at ease before the ceremony while we signed the marriage documents and preformed the ceremony exactly to our specifications. He was cheerful and funny and it truly did feel like he was an old friend the way he performed the ceremony. We were very impressed with his professionalism and kindness. Thank you!

I’m in Love with this venue!!
I was never going to get married, that was not something I wanted in life, but then my partner in crime proposed and I new it meant a lot to him......My answer was «Yes»
We wanted to do something unique to us, and we had already booked our holiday, driving from San Fransisco to New Orleans, with Las Vegas half way through! What a perfect spot for us!!
It would be just the 2 of us, no family members, no maid of honor or best man, nobody but us to lead the show. And we were initially thinking of just popping in to a chapel somewhere along the strip, but wanted a photoshoot with memories of the day. (Google is such a wonderful tool) I researched chapels and venues and photographers from my desk in Norway, and booked the Neon Museum Main Boneyard for photographs after the ceremony, and on request they sent me a list of photographers they had worked with before and could recommend. (Again Google is a wonderful source of information and photographic research) We booked Brandon Collup, at Gin&Sake Productions, as our photographer. Loved the work he had online already @gin&sake.com, and we wanted something in that personality. (So important to match the personality of the people you work with to your own for the best results) Brandon then suggested that we do the ceremony at the Museum as well, as we already had that venue and him as photographer, all we needed was someone to perform the ceremony! And I must say I am SOOOOO happy we listened to him! The Neon Museum works exclusively with Pastor Pete from Elegant Vegas Weddings, @elegantvegasweddings.com, and I now know why. He was an absolute joy, and perfomed a very personalised ceremony using our own words about each other and our relationship, adding some good and well matched words of wisdom, and the best little detail, that will always stick with me..... There we were, my soon to be hubby and I, Pastor Pete and Brandon, and the lads hummed «Here comes the bride» as I walked up ❣️

Pastor Pete was amazing. We met him the day of our wedding because we were from out of state. Even though we had just met him that day, it felt like he completely knew us and our personalities. Our ceremony was perfect and he included some humor which was important to us. We couldn't have asked for a better ceremony. In addition, he is extremely responsive and has guided us on how to get our official marriage license and which steps need to be taken to complete the "official" name change process. If you select Pastor Pete, you won't be disappointed.

Pastor Pete put together a beautiful and meaningful ceremony, based on how we met, our biker lifestyle, and our Catholic beliefs. We were the first couple to be married at the Las Vegas Harley Davidson. He also walked us through the entire process, since we are from out of town. We highly recommend Pastor Pete and ElegantVegasWeddings! Thanks again Pastor Pete the Ices!

Pastor Pete was amazing!! He was recommended to me by a friend in the industry and we couldn't be happier! We were living in Australia at the time, and Pete went above and beyond to get to know Tom and I from afar. We were able to have a few Skype dates with Pastor Pete prior to the wedding and filled out a questionnaire so he could get to know us on a deeper level. Once we arrived in Las Vegas we were able to meet with him again to go over everything we expected the wedding ceremony to be. He was wonderful about getting back to us via email, phone, and was always willing to meet with us in person.
Pastor Pete was so wonderful because he was able to attend our rehearsal the day before the wedding and made sure everyone was on the same page. The day of the wedding he met with me before and was such a calming, wonderful voice. Although it's a bit of a stressful time, he was great about making sure everything was going to go as planned. The ceremony was light, elegant, and such a joy. It brings a smile to my face just thinking about it. Pastor Pete did an amazing job making the ceremony about Tom and I on a personal level. Although the religious factor was important to us, everyone attending felt comfortable and truly enjoyed his delivery.
For some reason, due to time, Pastor Pete escaped without his final payment. I felt terrible, but he was completely calm and went out of his way to meet with us a week later. He truly is a wonderful person, great Pastor, and if we were to do it all over again Pastor Pete would be our person! Best wishes!

Pastor Pete is fantastic! He performed the most beautiful ceremony for us yesterday. We loved his sense of humor, his style, and his storytelling. He took the time to get to know us and he made our ceremony truly unique. Our guests loved him and thought he was so funny and endearing. We are beyond lucky to have had him marry us. He made our ceremony special and for that, we are truly grateful.

Pastor Pete and Elegant Vegas Weddings did an outstanding job. They were extremely helpful from the first email contact. They made sure we knew what paperwork we needed to have in place to make the ceremony go smoothly. Pete meet with us before the service, and put us immediately at ease. He asked many questions of each us, and made sure he had what he needed for the actual ceremony. To say he hit the nail on the head with the service would be an understatement. Our guests were very impressed with what he put together for having only meet us a few minutes before the ceremony. We would highly recommend Elegant Vegas Weddings to anyone planning on heading there to get married.

Pastor Pete/Elegant Vegas Weddings were included in the package I purchased through TPC Summerlin, and HE WAS PERFECT!!!! I spoke with him on the phone a couple of times to get a feel for whether or not he would be a good fit with our wedding party and filled out a questionnaire for him to get an idea of what we'd like. I really like the fact that he could have done anything from incredibly strictly religious to dressing like Elvis! We went with a simple, yet slightly humorous ceremony, and he was able to make everyone laugh while still making the moment so special.

We also had an issue with a difficult family situation, and he was able to seamlessly deal with it professionally and without judgement. I HIGHLY recommend Pastor Pete with Elegant Vegas Weddings.

Pastor Pete was a blessing is disguise. He had been our officiant for my wedding and did an phenomenal job. My dad spoke so highly of him and that we couldn't of picked a better pastor for our ceremony. Well two weeks later my dad had passed unexpectedly and when the funeral place asked if we knew someone that we would like to do the service, the first person that came to mind was Pastor Pete.. We didn't know if he did that sort of thing, so we spoke with him and he was all in. My dads service was unbelievably perfect. Pastor Pete is by far your best choice when choosing a officiant for your special day. Thank you Pastor Pete thank you for everything .

Pastor Pete was a pleasure to work with and created a memorable ceremony that my husband and I will think back on fondly. He made the ceremony ours and accommodated our special requests. As part of the ceremony he chose a word that would be something for us to remember the vows we took that day, and the choice to continue our relationship each time we think of the word. Because it relates to our past and fits with aspects of our relationship he chose the word 'ambulance'. On our return home (the wedding was in Las Vegas) my husband took a new job/career enforcing standards and regulations required for ambulances in our province. There was no way to know this was going to happen, but it was a really nice added touch - especially since my husband will be thinking about me all day at work;) Another reviewer mentioned that the ceremony was the right mix of fun and meaningful and I wanted to highlight that sentiment as we felt exactly the same way. Thank you Pastor Pete!!

My husband I were thrilled with Pastor Pete! I was so busy planning things, making sure we had everything covered, that I didn't put much thought into whether or not we'd actually enjoy our wedding. Pastor Pete made sure we had a great time. I am a cryer. I was afraid I'd spend the entire ceremony ugly crying, which would not have made for very nice photographs. Pastor Pete had the perfect mix of touching, meaningful with enough light and funny thrown in to keep me from losing it. And not in a roll your eyes, he's trying too hard kind of way, but he's just really really good at what he does. Our wedding was tiny, just my husband and me. I thought it would be quick and rushed, and it was anything but. It was special and meaningful and we felt like the only people getting married in Vegas that day. I highly recommend Pastor Pete and Elegant Vegas Weddings!

We love Pastor Pete! Elegant Vegas Weddings performed our wedding ceremony at The Neon Museum and we couldn't have asked for more. Pastor Pete delivered a beautiful ceremony while keeping the mood light and cheerful. I was pleasantly surprised on how personal everything felt even though we planned the wedding from Florida. All of the paperwork was explained to us and filed quickly as well. Thanks again, Elegant Vegas Weddings!

We are just writing to thank ya, thank ya very much for the most incredible renewing of vows. I believe it was Reverend Roland August, but lets just go with Elvis...he totally embodied the spirit of Elvis...the voice, the lip, the singing. Our family and friends (all 42 of them) could not stop talking about what an amazing performance they had at the Neon museum. We danced, laughed, sang, and took pictures. He was amazing with taking pictures with everyone! The photos are fabulous. We never felt rushed or like we were a bother, and he made our 20th wedding anniversary a year to truly remember. The whole Elegant Vegas Wedding experience was super from the get go. Thank you again for a job well done. A wonderful company to deal with.
All the best,
Mark and Claire

We had originally hired Pastor Pete because my friend had him as an officiant and she said he was very good so I emailed him and he emailed me back right away every time. The day of, Reverend James show up ( I can't remember why Pastor Pete couldn't make it) but he did a great job. He made my guests laugh and his reading was very nice. I was very happy with their services.

Pastor Pete is amazing! Not only did he respond to our email request immediately, he was so incredibly accommodating for our wedding. We had a fabulous ceremony and Pastor Pete went over and above by heading to the licensing bureau and processing our license early the next morning to accommodate our travel plans. He is amazing! I would definitely recommend you call Pastor Pete for your Vegas ceremony.

Pastor Pete was so calming and comforting to us before and during our wedding ceremony. During our emotional ceremony he was able to lighten the mood with his great sense of humor and make us laugh. His attention to us and our story of how we met made us feel like we had known him for years. He is truly a very special person who we will never forget. He made the most amazing day of our lives unforgettable.

Pastor Pete was wonderful. He tailored our ceremony to us with the perfect balance of sentiment and wit. We received multiple compliments from our guests. People said that it was the best and most original ceremony they'd attended. This is greatly in part Pastor Pete. We would definitely recommend him to other couples.

My Husband Peter and I want to say a massive thank you to Pastor Pete!

He really was amazing and really added a personal and special touch to our ceremony.

A number of guests who attended the wedding and family who have seen the video since we returned have commented on how great he was.

Within minutes of meeting us he had worked out we were not such serious people and added some fun and laughs to the ceremony which captured our personalities perfectly.

This really was a special day for us and are so happy we had Pastor Pete to be a part of it.

Pastor Pete was HIGHLY recommended to us by our photographers (F-Sequence Studio) and for good reason. Pastor Pete's style is fun, lively and not at all preachy which was exactly what we wanted.

For preparation we talked to Pastor Pete so they we could get to know each other and filled out a questionnaire to help him personalize our ceremony, which he used to great effect. He came to our rehearsal and made sure we all understood how the procession would work (we had no idea ourselves!) and was at our ceremony well ahead of time. The ceremony was everything that we imagined and his message was very inclusive to make everyone really feel like they were a part of our big day. He also gave us some great advice and gave us the pen he used to sign our license which was a nice touch.

We are both very honored to have been married by Pastor Pete!

Pastor Pete was amazing! Living in the UK all our arrangements were done over email. Pete sent us a fairly long questionnaire which was one of the reasons we picked him as we thought we would get more of a personal touch from the fact he took that time to get to know us. We met with him in person upon arriving in vegas where we spent more time getting to know him and all his effort really made our ceremony amazing. We didn't expect the actual ceremony to be our favourite part of the day over the party but we loved how personal it was and that we were not told everything that would be said so we were hearing his jokes for the first time. Pete really gave us a unique and personal wedding that we will always remember as being perfect. He really made our wedding and we loved that we had him marry us.

Pastor Pete was awesome!!! He has obviously done a bunch of weddings before so he has it all down. He sent a questionnaire out ahead of time for us to answer some basic questions - how did we meet, what do we love about the other person, etc. He then picks a few details from this to use in our wedding to make it more personal. He came in to the hotel room before the wedding and went over how it would go. He was really nice and told me to relax and focus on the night and each other. The ceremony went very smoothly. I really loved that he added a few comments and jokes to make our guests laugh. It really helped to make things more relaxed and not quite so formal. I highly recommend using Elegant Vegas Weddings!!!

Our officiant was included in our package we purchased from the Platinum Hotel in Las Vegas. Pastor Pete was exceptional! He was sweet, funny and made our ceremony very personable. He took everything I sent to him and made his own little tribute to how we met in high school, all of our break up and make ups but really focused on the present and had me in tears. I keep watching our ceremony over and over again and seen how nervous my husband was to stand in front of everyone but he really made both of feel like there wasn't anybody around us and I am truly thankful for all those little touches he added to make our ceremony OURS! So a big thanks to Elegant Vegas Weddings and of course to Paster Pete for making our day something we will always remember!

Pastor Pete! Absolutely wonderful! One of the people who made this day so special beyond any of our dreams. We felt so at peace and in good hands with Pastor Pete. He included our history and litttle details about us so beautifully into our ceremony. Our parents loveddddd him! We were so happy to have met him. He was incredibly kind and warm to us and our guests, like we knew him for years. There were many laughs and awws and even tears during our ceremony. His jokes were so cute and It helped calm down my nerves standing infront of all my family and friends. It was absolutely the best part of the whole day. At times I got so lost in his words of wisdom It felt like it was just me, my groom and him there. It was very touching and emotional. Just perfect! 100% recommended!

We met Pastor Pete at a bridal show in Lake Las Vegas. As soon as we met him my husband and I both knew he was the man to marry us. Pastor Pete is so easy to work with and so nice. Our guests thought he was wonderful. We even had Pastor Pete participate in a little performance my husband and brother put on before the ceremony. Pastor Pete was awesome! I would recommend him to anyone.

Pastor Pete was absolutely incredible! He took the time to get to know both myself and my now husband prior to the wedding and to also find out exactly what type of ceremony we required.

The ceremony was perfect and Pastor Pete provided the perfect mix of humour whilst maintaining the emotion of the ceremony.

It felt like we had a family friend as our Officiant and I only wish I could rate six stars on here

Pastor Pete was wonderful. He had us fill out a long questionnaire about ourselves, our relationship, and our hopes for the wedding and many of these details were incorporated into the ceremony. It was really customized to us as a couple and that was priceless. Our ceremony was short, sweet, and funny- which is exactly what we wanted. Our guests have not stopped commenting on how perfect the ceremony was for us... and I could not agree more!

As an industry professional, I had a wide array of ministers to choose from, with many of whom I have existing relationships. Pastor Pete and Reverend Danielle are absolutely terrific and my husband and I couldn't have been happier to use their services for our special day. From the highly customized ceremony filled with laughter and joy to our "key" word with which we'll always reflect on our marriage, their service was nothing short of exceptional and we were delighted that they could share in our special day.

Pastor Pete was fantastic. He really catered our ceremony to our taste and was completely flexible when there were last minute changes. He has a great sense of humor and really does a great job at not only involving the guests but helping my husband and me feel calm during the ceremony. We planned from South Korea and so much of our communication was via email. He got back to us fast and we were even able to Skype a couple of times. I really can't say enough about how awesome our experience was.

Pastor Pete was a great match for our wedding. My wife and I are both in the Army and when we found out that Pastor Pete was retired from the Army we knew he was the one for us.

Pastor Pete was wonderful during the ceremony. He made it ours. He was very professional and made us feel very comfortable. He even let a family member use his glasses to fill out some paper work because they had forgotten them.

I would direct anyone to Pastor Pete that is thinking about getting married in the Las Vegas area.

Thank you "Pastor Pete" for making our ceremony, "OUR CEREMONY"! You have the most amazing gift, and we were so honored to have had you officiate as we became husband and wife. You told our story, you honored God and how He brought us together, you talked about our family members (kids/grandkids/parents in Heaven)...your humor made us laugh...you made us so comfortable!!!!!

Getting married in Vegas, one might think is like eating at a fast food joint...1..2..3..wham bam your married ma'am...that may be fine for some...BUT, if you are looking for someone who you is willing to take his time, get to know the two of you, and personalizes your cememony to be about the two of you...THEN, look no further, Pete is all that and more!!!!!!

Do not HESITATE in calling...NOT ONLY is he the most amazing Officiant...he also has great contacts and can help you with any of your Vegas nupital questions..."where do I find...or...who can do this for us"...

Thank you Pete for being a part of Fabulous Day!
You helped make the circle complete!

Very personal ceremony! More than I ever hoped for!!
Our wedding was so personal and it was definitely because of Pastor Pete!! It was perfect!! I felt like it fit our personalities and sense of humor. I was a little worried because up until the wedding planning we didn't know Pastor Pete but after the ceremony it felt like we had known him for years!

Love love LOVE Pastor Pete! What a great job he did. He took what my husband and I wanted for our ceremony and made it so much more. We explained that we just wanted to have fun and to keep it light. He was fantastic. He was funny and personable and brought the guests in to listen to everything he was saying. I have never approached someone after the ceremony to tell them the pastor was good but I had a lot a people tell me how much they LOVED him. If you get a chance or are skeptical, just try him. You will not regret it!

Pastor Pete was amazing. He really wanted to make the ceremony about me and fiance, now husband :) We couldn't have open flames on the roof (so no unity candles), and we didn't want to do the sand ceremony. So after researching some ideas we decided on a wine box ceremony. It was his first time preforming this and he did an amazing job! It is somewhat of a new idea, so I couldn't find much about it but it turned out perfect!!

A wine box ceremony is a great alternative to unity candles or sand!!

Hi everybody in the Good Ol' U.S. of A.! From Adelaide, Australia! My now wife and I traveled to America last August to attend the Sturgis Rally for the first time, and had a blast! On the ride back to Seattle, we stopped in Frisco, Colorado for a couple of days. It was here that we had the good fortune to meet by lucky chance, Pastor Pete, and the Rev. Daniele, from Elegant Vegas Weddings. We talked about how everyone back home in Australia thought we came to America to get married, so Pete said, "well, let's do it right here and now!" So, we did! A very impromptu ceremony in front of the Best Western Hotel, surrounded by Harleys(and one Honda!). Pete and Daniele, and all their friends were fantastic! Pete conducted the ceremony, with what basic information we gave him at the time, while Daniele took the photos(you'll find our photo on their website). Their friends took photos and video for us too. It was such a fantastic and relaxed atmosphere, dressed in Sturgis Harley t-shirts, shorts and flip-flops! We wouldn't have wanted to do it any other way! Colorado now holds a very special place in our hearts, thanks to Pete and Daniele! We have kept in contact with them since we arrived back in Australia via e-mails. Shortly after arriving back, we decided to renew our vows here at home, for family and friends to attend. A small ceremony conducted in our garage at home, surrounded by our Harleys again(and one Honda!). We introduced Pete and Daniele to Skype(now affectionately referred to as 'The Skypie Thingie'), and with the assistance of their daughter Macky setting them up, Pete and Daniele conducted the whole ceremony again over skype in the company of all our family and friends! It all went as well as the Colorado wedding! All our guests commented after about how great Pete and Daniele were! There were some comical moments, as in Colorado, some improvised moments because of the distance, and there were the serious moments. All in all, everybody thought it was the best wedding they have ever been to!! Relaxed, fun, and tailored to our biker life-style! Our only regret was that we had to say thank you and goodbye, and switch off the Skype afterwards! We both want to extend our deepest thanks, gratitude, and appreciation to Pete and Daniele for doing this for us again! It was as memorable as the day in Colorado! We highly recommend Pete and Daniele, and the services they offer through Elegant Vegas Weddings, to tailor a wedding day never to be forgotten, and always to be cherished by you! They have become two of our many wonderful American friends! Love ya guys! You're the best!!!

Pastor Pete is a must have officiant for any ceremony. He met with us to get to know our personalities and brought that into our ceremony. He was very flexible with the wording we wanted and even made some really great suggestions. All of our guests complimented on what a great job Pastor Pete did!

I must say, I love Danielle!!! She was the most sweet and honest person! I felt an instant connection with Danielle from the first time we spoke! She asked many questions about us and our lives and our families and truly cared about us and not about the money like some over rated and over payed officiants that have the nerve to marry people! Her and her husband truly do it for the simple joy of uniting love!!! Danielle was with me from the day I set the date to the final I DOS and Im so happy I got to meet such a beautiful soul like her! She gave us the best ceremony, and said the most wonderful and beautiful things! We had no idea what we wanted to do as far as ceremony so we left it up to her and she delivered 100% AND MORE!! She is non denominational, non traditional cause in her words, "Whos tradition is it anyways!" I loved her and her spirit!

The man dressed like Darth Vader for us, how can you go wrong? He kept in contact, making sure the ceremony was going to be what we wanted it to be. He infused laughter and tears into what many of our guest have described as the best wedding they have ever been to. Because we live outside the Las Vegas area, he was more than willing to make sure the things we needed were taken care of prior to our arrival. He also worked extremely well with all our other vendors to ensure a perfect day. We would highly recommend anyone needing an officiant to give Reverend Pete a call, you won't be sorry!

Within a few minutes of talking to Pastor Pete on the phone I felt like I had known him for years. He asked me tons of questions about me and my fiance, and what we would like our ceremony to include. He took everything that I said to heart and I couldn't have imagined a ceremony better suited to us. I am grateful to Pastor Pete for making it perfect

I cannot believe how AWESOME our ceremony was because of Pastor Pete! But before I even talk about the ceremony services, I wanted to say that Reverend Danielle was a hoot on the phone and very assuring about both her services and Pastor Pete's. Whomever you end up with, you will be in EXCELLENT hands!

In speaking with Pastor Pete on the phone, he was very professional, yet had me excited about the ceremony! He gave me a few options, which I then passed on to my fiance' (at the time), and we set up a meeting with Pastor Pete a few weeks before the wedding.

Pastor Pete has so much knowledge about the world, with all of his professional and personal experiences, and this was completely integrated into our conversation. We wanted our ceremony to not be super religious, but we did want our own personal faiths to be intertwined into our special event. We discussed a short prayer, and then he gave us some great ideas to add to our ceremony. One of them was that we wrote each other's vows to read (and we didn't see what they were until the wedding!) and this cracked up the whole audience! Pastor Pete also added some random humor that we weren't prepared for, and laughing during the wedding really helped my EXTREMELY nervous groom! His sense of humor also seemed to unify both sides of our families; we could see the smiles on the faces of all of our relatives and friends and that was what we wanted!

As a former wedding musician, I didn't want my own wedding to be the typical music/processional/vows/recessional ceremony. Pastor Pete allowed us to involve my own musicians (former piano students), unity sand, and a friend who got to read a personalized poem. With an already 80's-friendly theme, he threw in a "Party On, Dude!" at the end that we discussed - HILARIOUS! This meant a lot to us because we didn't want that "cookie-cutter" wedding and he really was supportive of this!

Aside from all his words that relieved our anxiety, we felt that this personalized ceremony fit who we were, and the sniffles of happiness and giggles from Pastor Pete's humor really attributed to one of the most memorable moments of our lives as bride and groom. I still have friends and family who comment on the ceremony - and we relive the happiness all over again!

Pastor Pete, thank you for the amazing wedding and for helping the people who were a part of our ceremony. Thank you for guiding our families and calming down my then-fiance' (ha-ha!). You truly made our wedding a night to ALWAYS remember!!!

Pastor Pete was charming and very friendly. My husband and I filled out a questionnaire answering very specific questions that made our ceremony more personal. Pastor Pete both entertained my guests and told our story. We paid a small deposit when booking the event and the rest cash prior to the wedding. In all we had a lovely experience and my guests who attended the wedding are still talking about how spot on the pastor was.

We wanted Pastor Pete to marry us, as he had done two of our best friends back in 2010 but unfortunately he was booked on our wedding day. He suggested either his wife, daughter or longtime colleague Reverend Forrest. For some reason my husband and I were set on having a man marry us, so we went with Rev. Forrest. Pete assured us that he and Forrest had worked together for 20 years in Chicago, and when Forrest moved out here Pete started to train him in "Vegas style ceremonies" and that if we liked his work we would like Forrest.
Reverend Forrest was very nice, and he did a great job. His reading just isn't exactly what I was looking for. I can't say it's anything he did wrong, just isn't exactly what I wanted; but I should have been more clear. What I really wanted was for it to be short and sweet (pretty much what you see in the movies), but to include the kids and to make it seem personal to my husband and I (we chose not to write our own vows). He did include the kids, and he made it seem a little personal in mentioning how we met and the fact that we had been together for 6 years, which was great... if it would have ended there I would have been completely happy, but then he started going on about how he and his wife have been married for 25 years (which is fantastic, but I think it could have been left out), and then started going on about trees and totally lost me. Again, not his fault because I could have been more clear on the short and sweet thing, but I figured telling him we wanted a civil ceremony pretty much summed that up. Another thing I found to be kind of odd is that he didn't come to the rehearsal. This is my first rodeo tho, so maybe thats normal. To wrap it up, Rev. Forrest did a great job. Just make sure you let them know exactly what you want out of your ceremony. You can not find a better team of officiants for the money. Almost every other officiant we got quotes from was double the cost. I would definitely recommend Elegant Vegas Weddings and Rev. Forrest.

My husband and i got married by pastor pete starzyk. The ceremony was placed in the Harley- Davidson- Cafe in Las Vegas. He gave us an unforgettable memory and we like to think back at that date.

We just want to say: Thank you! for your time and that you found the right words to explain our feelings. The ceremony was so wonderful! We didn´t had the feeling, that we are just another couple, that wanted to marry, we felt very special, because of you and the time you spent us.

Pastor Pete delivered a beautiful ceremony. He was very sincere and spoke as if he had known us for years. He and his wife are endearing people who show the utmost professionalism and well as organization prior and during the ceremony. It is very important to have an officiant with a lot of experience and Pete and his wife Daniele possess great qualities!

My husband and i got married by pastor Pete Starzyk. He gave aus an unforgettable memory and we like to think back at that date The ceremony was placed in the Harley- Davidson- Cafe in Las Vegas, which was a great location.
We just want to say: Thank you pastor Starzyk! for your time and that you found the right words to explain our feelings. The ceremony was so wonderful! We didn´t had the feeling, that we are just another couple, that wanted to marry, we felt very special, because of you and the time you spent us.

We LOVED Pastor Pete Starcyk. We'd emailed with him a bit and met him about an hour before the ceremony and ran through some of the details (readings, processional, etc). Guests had no idea that we'd just met him that day because he was so friendly and warm and seemed to know us very well.

However, we're Green Bay Packers fans and he sprung on us during the ceremony that he's a Bears fan. It was almost a deal breaker. Thankfully we are a forgiving couple, and we literally spent the rest of the ceremony heckling him. Haha … no, seriously, he was a total professional but he really made the wedding feel special and unique even though we hadn't know him very long. Very impressive!

Frankie Castro was brilliant. He was nothing short of amazing, polite, kind and his performance was flawless. We had a fantastic time and would not have wanted anyone else.
The staff at Elegant Vegas Weddings was perfect!
Thank you so much ??

I would not recommend using Rev. Danielle . Don't know much about the husband and daughter. We met with her about 10 days before the wedding discussed and changed things we decide on at that meeting. The day of the wedding she came down to where we were getting ready to "discuss" things we talked about 10 days before, and it still wasn't right. I had a passage that I wanted read at the opening greeting she flatly refused to read it saying it sounded too much like vows! Who's wedding was it anyway? We had readings planned she pronounced us husband and wife before the readings were done. To say I was disappointed with our ceremony is an understatement !

I really wanted to write wonderful reviews and I am sorry for not rating Daniele and Pete high.

During planning, Pastor Pete sent us an extensive form to fill out with a lot of info on both the bride and groom and we spent a lot of time working on it. We really wanted a special customized ceremony.

On the day of the wedding, Daniele showed up and said Pastor Pete was sick. I didn't even know she was his wife. Then she wanted to confirm with me that we are having a candle lighting ceremony when we are actually having a wine blending ceremony. At this point I began to freak out and figured she didn't know anything about all of the info we have shared with Pastor Pete (who was the one to suggest the wine blending ceremony).

Then the ceremony started and it was...ughhhh...oh it was not what I expected. Daniele was positive and covered the basics but some of the things she said...my guests were laughing but not in joy let me tell you.

Also, she forgot we have our own vows which i told her we do before the ceremony as I figured she didn't know much about our discussions with her husband. So we skipped our own vows...omg thinking back I get the shivers at the ceremony we had.

Well either way we were wed by her and it all worked out in the end. Of my dream wedding, this part was the only frustrating thing. I am so sorry it turned out that way. I spent 2 hours memorizing my vows and my husband was confused during the ceremony thinking I have made changes without letting him know....

Not the best experience. I think that if pastor Pete did show up instead of Daniele, it would've turned out just as we wanted...

We were married at the Neon Museum in Las Vegas in December. The location was wonderful, but unfortunately our experience with Elegant Vegas Weddings came up short. Prior to the ceremony, emails weren't acknowledged (unless I chased them up) which didn't fill me with confidence. Then, on the day of the ceremony, our reverend (Daniele Karstedt - Daniele Mackenzie on their website) showed up late and flustered, and was 'swotting up' on the (very detailed) form sent to Elegant Vegas Weddings around 1 month previous.

During the ceremony the reverend got our daughter's name wrong (despite us correcting her before the ceremony started), and she was clearly 'thinking on her feet' throughout the whole thing. The service was meant to be very personalised, but it ended up feeling generic. Even friends and family who watched via live stream back home in the UK commented on how the reverend seemed unprepared and unprofessional. I have since followed up with Pastor Pete who has been very apologetic, but unfortunately we can't turn the time back and have our wedding ceremony again. My husband and I have just had to laugh about it.

It's a shame that the wonderful Neon Museum insist on using Elegant Vegas Weddings exclusively, as it seems to be pot luck with the reverend you get and although most people have had a positive experience, it certainly wasn't the case for us.

I was very excited to work with Pastor Pete upon learning that he was highly recommended through Patrick, the wedding coordinator at the Vintner Grill. However, I never even had Pastor Pete at our wedding. Instead, we were told the minute we arrived for the ceremony, by his daughter (who I never met or spoke with before) that her father was very ill and could not make it to the wedding to be our officiant. She walked up to the venue right after we got there and I was a little worried about the whole thing. I mean the least Pastor Pete could have done was given me a heads up call or sent his wife to do the ceremony. Being that she JUST read our submitted questionnaire (that my husband and I at least spent 2 hrs putting a lot of thought and effort into our responses about each other), none of it was incorporated into the ceremony (like expected) and she mispronounced my husband's name at least 3 times. We were totally mortified and embarrassed, and she never really took the time to instruct us on what to do, where to stand, etc. It was totally awkward for the both of us, and she also could barely read the name of the author that wrote the passage that she read in front of our guests. My husband and I really wanted our ceremony to be special and intimate, because we have been together for almost 3 years and this meant a great deal to us. It felt like she really didn't know what she was doing, which was apparent during the ceremony, and it seemed as if she improvised the whole time. How unfortunate that we have to remember this as our wedding ceremony for the rest of our lives. It just threw off the whole tone of the wedding from then on. Just BE AWARE that this may happen to you, if you go with them.

So DISAPPOINTED:( We felt very comfortable after emailing back and forth, but then the day of our wedding he was "sick" (read older reviews) and sent another person, who we are pretty sure had notes on a completely different couple other than us. Told a story that had nothing to do with anything we had spoken about when filling out their forms or even the follow up emails. We met on a blind date, he said we were friends for years... oh and he reaked of smoke. The next day I wrote a few emails to the company letting them know how bad of an experience we had and got NO RESPONSE!!

Good luck if you book with them- hopefully the right guy will show up and will know who you are.
