    Jim Easton is the real deal!

    Jim Easton is the real deal! He is very personable, and we cannot thank him enough for the time taken to ensure our day was perfect! The options offered and clear instructions made our day stress-free! Highly recommend him and Country Pines Chapel.

    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.

    Short, sweet but didn’t leave out the good stuff!

    Jim was a perfect fit for us and something about him just made me feel so relaxed. I knew I just wanted something short and sweet. It indeed was but without leaving the good stuff out. Praying before our ceremony is something I didn’t realize would feel so important till afterwards. We are thankful for you.

    Jim was very helpful from the start. He was quick to respond. He made us feel comfortable. He did a wonderful job preforming our ceremony. We couldn't have ask for a better minister. Thank you.

    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.

    Vow renewal

    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.

    Exceptional, thoughtful service

    Pastor Jim was considerate and responsive when we booked him to officiate our ceremony. A week before when we re-confirmed the appointment he recommended we contact the venue as he had been there recently and the road was closed. Despite the Park Service’s hard work we learned later in the week we needed to find another wedding location. Pastor Jim readily agreed to marry us at a different location and was flexible with his time that Saturday.

    Upon arrival, he was well dressed, easy going and wonderfully prepared. He spoke eloquently and beautifully during the ceremony and we felt fortunate and blessed he solemnly presided over our wedding. His graciousness and easy manner helped allay nerves and he was personable, engaging and interactive. It was a joy to meet Pastor Jim and we wouldn’t change a thing about the wonderful service he constructed and presented for us. Thank you very much.

    A wonderful experience.

    My now wife and I wanted a small wedding at our cabin with just a few family and friends. He provided a great service a wonderful atmosphere and made everyone feel welcome and apart of the wedding experience. I would highly recommend him for any wedding occasion.

    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.

    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!
