Impressive Ceremony
I feel Jim does not charge enough for what he provides. He gave us a wonderful private ceremony in Cades Cove. He was very responsive and handled everything. I really loved the prayer. We could not be any happier. I’ve been to many weddings and I’m proud to say the best one I’ve ever attended was our own. Jim is a genuine man that cares.I feel Jim does not charge enough for what he provides. He gave us a wonderful private ceremony in Cades Cove. He was very responsive and handled everything.

Very nice personality and great service!!
Pastor Eastin officiated our wedding at an Airbnb cabin in Pigeon Forge. Communication with him was always prompt. He responded to all of our questions. On the wedding day he brought his photography equipment and took excellent photos during and after the wedding. He was super friendly and made us feel very comfortable. He never made us feel rushed and he took the time to take all of our pictures. He gave us excellent advice for our marriage, and he was very genuine about it!
He had our pics ready super-fast, he gave us a CD, which I turned into a flash drive at Walgreens. Pastor Eastin made our wedding a very special moment. 200% recommend for your special day.Pastor Eastin officiated our wedding at an Airbnb cabin in Pigeon Forge.

We had a great experience with Preacher Jim. We were a little nervous with how to do everything, and he told us what to do and when, and it turned out great.We had a great experience with Preacher Jim.

Perfect day
We could not have asked for a more perfect ceremony. It was unnerving to entrust someone who is almost a stranger with our day (and our vows). The words he said during our ceremony were amazing. We could not have worded things better. Thank you so much!We could not have asked for a more perfect ceremony.

Jim Eastin was our pastor at our wedding on March 25, 2023 at 10 am. He did an excellent job for not really knowing us and we were grateful for his choice of words.

Here begins an amazing journey
The officiant was extremely courteous and had great words of encouragement! The chapel was lovely, peaceful and beautiful. We would highly recommend The Wedding Bell Chapel and the officiant, Jim, if you are looking for a wedding ceremony.The officiant was extremely courteous and had great words of encouragement!

Great wedding officiant
Pastor Jim was great! So glad we had him so our wedding. He did the Christian ceremony we wanted, but he also added in some humor and marriage tips which I loved. Made the ceremony not seem so stiff and formal like some are. Would definitely recommend him to anyone! We also got the photography package with him and he had our pictures ready the next day! He’s the best!Pastor Jim was great! So glad we had him so our wedding. He did the Christian ceremony we wanted, but he also added in some humor and marriage tips which I loved.

He Made it Easy!
I live in California and was planning a wedding in the Tennessee Smokey Mountains. I found Jim on WeddingWire. He responded quickly, helped me decide what I wanted include, and had more than a fair price. He came to our cabin dressed in a suit, performed a personalized ceremony, and took beautiful pictures for us. All my guests thought Jim was awesome…I highly recommend his services :)I live in California and was planning a wedding in the Tennessee Smokey Mountains. I found Jim on WeddingWire.

Phenomenal!
Even though Jim did not know us personally, he made the space and the ceremony feel very intimate and genuine. We had about 60 guests and everyone thought Jim was one of the best officiants they have witnessed. We couldn't have asked for a better ceremony. Thank you, Jim!Even though Jim did not know us personally, he made the space and the ceremony feel very intimate and genuine.

Wouldn’t have wanted it any other way
This was literally the perfect wedding! It was small and the day all together was completely stress free. We had a beautiful view and we’re able to record the whole thing on our iPhones and got some amazing pictures. Jim was very kind and accommodating and even came and married us at our Airbnb! He made it very easy and the ceremony was more than we ever imagined. He asked us only a few questions and made it very personable and made it fit our personalities very well. He even followed it up with an email on tips for a long-lasting marriage! I would recommend having Jim do your wedding to any and everybody! We cannot thank him enough for everything and hope to see him in 10 years!This was literally the perfect wedding! It was small and the day all together was completely stress free.
