Kelly H. Sent on 09/13/2023A true professional!
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.

Kristy Sent on 09/05/2024Minister Paul was amazing
Minister Paul made sure that the ceremony was flawless, his ceremony was beautiful and kept everything going when we had issues with the microphone. Minister Paul put my nerves at ease while I was doing my vows by reacting and laughing along with my husband. It was overly hot and he made sure to get us water and encourage my son when it was time for pictures. We are so grateful to have found him to do our ceremony! -

Amy Sent on 05/18/2024Ten out of Ten, Would Recommend!
We hired Minister Steve to officiate our wedding ceremony. Steve was professional and great with his communication. I wrote our ceremony script in full and Steve edited it to fit his style and verbiage. On our wedding day Steve sought us both out and discussed how things would go which greatly assuaged my anxiety. He was so patient, flexible, and kind especially as we were running a few minutes behind schedule. We would recommend Minister Steve to those who are looking for someone with great communication, flexibility, and professionalism while providing great value! Our ceremony meant so much to us and Steve truly made it even more special. Thank you for everything Minister Steve!Minister Steve of PA's reply:
Hi Amy! Thank you so much for your review! I am so happy we had such a wonderful day to get you and Gerald married! It was a great time, and remember all those flowers he needs to buy you! Best of luck and hope to see you both again! MS -

Courtney L. Sent on 04/24/2024Beautifully Performed Wedding Ceremony!
We worked with Minister Paul Bellis for our wedding ceremony, and he was absolutely wonderful! He was open to all suggestions I had, welcomed diversity, and was willing to make any desired changes, not that there really were any. He wrote and performed an absolutely beautiful ceremony that many of my guests were raving about afterwards. He answered all of my questions throughout the planning process, and handled all of our after marriage paperwork in a very prompt manner. He was also extremely kind, and arrived early to both our rehearsal and reception. Would highly recommend for any denomination of couple looking for a wedding officiant!Minister Steve of PA's reply:
Thank you for those kind words Courtney. I thank you for allowing me to officiate your ceremony.
I wish you and Matt a lifetime of happiness and joy together!

Stress-free! Enjoyable! Reliable!
Minister Steve was such an awesome part of our big day! My husband and Minister Steve connected immediately over their love of hockey and we connected to him as a couple for his genuine personality. I do not think our wedding would have been the same if we had anyone else. He is quick with his responses, reassured us through the whole process, a great person to connect with for every day life experiences and so much more! I would recommend him to anyone and everyone for their wedding needs or just for support in life!Minister Steve of PA's reply:
Thank you Morgan and Collin! Was such a great time at your wedding...your bridal party was amazing too and a lot of fun. Best of luck in the future and LGR! :) -

Lauren F. Sent on 09/24/2022The 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! -
