We had the absolute pleasure of having Steve as our wedding officiant. From the very beginning, Steve showed exceptional professionalism and an undeniable talent for creating a ceremony that was uniquely "us." Steve helped us craft the perfect secular ceremony, working with us to select readings that spoke to us and reflected our love story. His guidance in whether to say our own vows or not was spot on, and following his advice was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day.
One unforgettable moment was when we informed Steve at the rehearsal that our ring bearer was none other than a mini donkey! His initial surprise quickly transformed into a warm smile, and he simply said, "Okay!" This ability to adapt to unexpected situations with grace and humor is a testament to his professionalism and charm.
During the rehearsal, Steve's years of experience as an officiant shone through. His knowledge and expertise were invaluable as he guided our wedding party through the process. His big, commanding voice was perfect for our intimate ceremony with approximately 30 guests, eliminating the need for a microphone.
What sets Steve apart is not just his expertise but also his demeanor. He exudes both wisdom and a sense of humor, striking a perfect balance that put us at ease throughout the entire process. He made our ceremony not only meaningful but also enjoyable for everyone present.
If you're searching for a wedding officiant who will make your ceremony uniquely yours, Steve is the one you want! Thank you, Steve!

Thank you Kelly! Needless to say, it was a wonderful couple of days being with you and Devan. And please tell the donkey no hard feelings, but to stop calling me! :) God Bless you both.

The BEST officiant out there!
Oh my gosh, where do I even begin!? Right from the start, Squall and I knew we wanted someone authentic and down to earth—a stuffy wedding ceremony wasn’t for us! We quickly stumbled upon Minister Steve, and it was like the clouds opened up and the universe said, “hire him!!” Naturally, we wasted no time and I’m so grateful for our choice! We felt like we selected the dream team of wedding vendors, and felt even more secure in our choice when our wedding coordinator was nothing short of elated to hear Steve would be officiating our ceremony. As with a lot of our vendors, Minister Steve quickly felt like an old family friend instead of a hired wedding vendor. We’re from out of state, and Minister Steve helped walk us through getting our marriage license in PA, kept up with necessary license timeframes, and took care of getting everything to the court afterward; there was nothing for us to expect show up and say happily say, “I do!” Our ceremony felt truly personal and unique to us, and completely captured the vibe we were going for. A total picture of professionalism, Minister Steve walked us through our rehearsal and took care of any uncertainties or questions we had for the big day—there was no guesswork or confusion, and everything went smoothly for our ceremony! We are so, so thrilled in our choice of Minister Steve for our wedding! If you’re still looking for your officiant, look no further—he’s your guy! Hire him, QUICK!!
Minister Steve of PA's reply:
Thank you Lauren and Squall! I am blessed that you traveled half way across the country and selected me to officiate your wedding! It was an amazing time with you and your family, and hope we'll get together again when you guys return! Blessings, Minister Steve

Minister Steve was great!
We had a very wonderful experience using Minister Steve for our special day where we became man and wife and were married before our family and close friends. He was very coordial, sincere, wrote a beautiful ceremony and just overall was an awesome experience with Steve. I would highly recommend his service for any future weddings or other special occasions!
Minister Steve of PA's reply:
Thank you Chad and Daphne! It was a great honor to unite you both in marriage. I love seeing all the pictures Joan posted from your wedding. I am fortunate that we are now friends on Facebook. Please stay in touch! Love to you both! Minister Steve

Minister Steve Helped Make our Special Day Perfect
Since this was a 2nd marriage, we just wanted a small, quaint ceremony with close friends and family. We decided we would get married at a park and I was so afraid it would be "lame" but it was anything but that. Minister Steve helped us every step of the way, he checked in often and confirmed details the day before the ceremony. He gave us many options in terms of content for the ceremony so that it was tailored just the way we wanted. Once he put the ceremony script together, he shared it with us so we knew exactly what to expect. The service was so personalized because we helped choose the content. We were very pleased and couldn't have asked for a better person to marry us. Many of our friends commented that it was one of the best weddings they ever attended because it was so personalized (and Minister Steve even threw some humor into his message). I would highly recommend Steve to perform your wedding ceremony, you won't regret it!

Great Ceremony, customized to us!
We would recommend Minister Steve to anyone getting married in the area! He was kind and helped us customize our ceremony. He is timely and was adaptable when we had to move locations due to rain. We are very pleased with how our ceremony turned out, thank you again!
Minister Steve of PA's reply:
Thank you so much for your review Stacy! I had a great time marrying you and Bruce. The rain made the day that much more memorable for me and probably you too! I wish you and Bruce a lifetime of happiness and hope to see a few pictures from your day. Again, thank you for letting me be a small part of your big day!

Amazing officiant
Minister Steve is the best! He gave us the most beautiful ceremony! He is super helpful as well and makes your ceremony so personal. He will add in ANYTHING you may be looking for. We were able to pick readings, poems, etc and he put it all together beautifully & also gives awesome recommendations! Our wedding venue cancelled last minute and he was so flexible and helped adjusted everything that needed to be in less than 24 hours notice. BONUS is he’s hilarious! Minister Steve is amazing, well spoken and so sweet. We are so grateful we chose him as our officiant on our day.
Minister Steve of PA's reply:
Thank you so much for this beautiful review! I wish you both all the happiness in the world! Like I told you at the wedding, when you are bouncing your grandkids on your knee, they will love the story of your wedding weekend! God bless you and thanks again for selecting me as your officiant! Blessings, Minister Steve

The Calm in the Craziness
My wife and I do not belong to a church, so we had to search for a minister of the faith to wed us. My wife found Minister Steve online. She scheduled our first meeting via online, and I immediately knew Minister Steve was the one. As a man who has lost his faith, I did not feel any judgement from Minister Steve, who was very in touch with people like me. The rehearsal and the day of the wedding, Minister Steve was the calm in the craziness. Ashley (my wife) and I did all of the planning and most of the purchasing for our wedding. To say we were stressed out, is an understatement. Minister Steve is the kind of man that provides humor when needed and the sense of calm when some might seem anxious. We appreciate you Minister Steve for marrying Ashley and I, and also thank you for your service in uniform!
Minister Steve of PA's reply:
Hey Jake and Ashley! Thank you so much for the review. It was a great start to my year and I had a ton of fun at the reception hanging with your family and friends. Thank YOU for you service as well and I will hopefully see you guys soon!
Blessings,
Minister Steve

Thank you so much for taking the time to review me! It was great getting to know you guys, and I really enjoyed the blessing that Uncle Chuckie gave during the ceremony. Remind your husband what the rain will bring. 🌹🌹🌹
