    A great pleasure!

    Pastor Demetrius was a great pleasure to work with! Pre-marital counseling sessions with him were a blessing, as his guidance to prepare to be committed partners is something we can never repay. Our family and friends enjoyed his energy and the way he included everyone in the ceremony. Absolutely grateful we have him from then and forward to consult as we navigate this new journey. We highly recommend him!

    Perfect For Us

    Pastor Demetrius,
    Performed our wedding ceremony in Central Park in June. We knew we wanted a pastor to help start our marriage off with the blessing and word of God. Pastor Demetrius spoke to us prior to ceremony and let us know our relationship was safe in his hand and offered to be there should we need spiritual guidance along the way. He did great at making us comfortable on our special day.

    Amazing experience!

    We found Pastor Lawrence on Wedding Wire and decided to book him because of his stellar reviews and he did not disappoint. He was professional, very friendly, and full of positive energy and charisma. We met with him for premarital counseling and he gave us great words of wisdom, scriptures to reflect on, and tools that we will use forever. On our wedding day, he was on time (early actually) and his sermon for our ceremony was lively, interactive, and to the point. He helped us incorporate ideas that were unique and true to us as a couple and gave great instruction to our guests on how to participate. Our guests raved about our ceremony. We debated on getting a friend to officiate our wedding to save money and we are so happy we decided to go with Pastor Lawrence. He provided such an amazing experience for an affordable price. Do not hesitate to book him!! You will not be disappointed!

    Love Pastor Lawrence

    My husband and I loved working with Pastor Lawrence! On the day of the ceremony, he was perfect and made us and our family feel at ease. We also did 2 premarital counseling sessions which were great to help us on the right path before the wedding. We'll certainly reach out for future counseling sessions!

    High recommend Pastor Lawrence

    We were lucky enough to have pastor Lawrence officiate our wedding and provide premarital counseling for us . He is very professional and reliable. On our wedding day there was a major delay in the start time of our wedding due to unforeseen circumstances with my mua. Pastor Lawrence was extremely patient and still performed a beautiful ceremony. He even handled the mailing of our marriage license and we received our certificate in the mail a few weeks after our wedding. Pastor Lawrence made the process so easy for us and we are beyond grateful to have found him.

    Much love

    Pastor Lawrence was AMAZING!

    Pastor Lawrence is the right choice for your ceremony! He was knowledgeable, spiritual, and prepared. His ceremony moved our guests to tears, and his words inspired the bride and groom. Dr. Lawrence will do the same for you!

    Pastor Demetrius Lawrence was punctual, professional and prepared

    I highly recommend booking Pastor Demetrius Lawrence to be your officiant. He’s so kind, professional and speaks eloquently. My husband and I chose to send our vows to him for him to read because we were worried with emotions and nerves we wouldn’t be able to read through them and the words would be lost in the shuffle. He spoke his blessings then also read our vows aloud and it was perfect. We decided to jump the broom and he delivered a flawless explanation of the significance of that. A lot of our guests were unaware and appreciated his breakdown. Thank you again and again Pastor for having a part in making our day memorable!

    Wonderful service - couldn’t ask for more

    Pastor Lawrence made our wedding ceremony a magical experience for us and our guests. His oratory was filled with sound and practical advise, splashes of wit and humor. ALL of my guest commented on the Word, many saying it reminded them of their marriage and what’s important to make a marriage work. It was beautiful - we couldn’t have asked for more.

    Pastor Demetrius was amazing!

    I am so glad we found Pastor Demetrius on The Wire & went with him after seeing other great reviews. My husband & I knew We didn’t want such a religious ceremony. After our initial phone consultation we knew he was the one for us. He gave us such a beautiful ceremony, I was blown away. Very unique and had our guests involved which is something I’ve never seen before. I am so satisfied and everyone else was as well! Thank you Pastor Demetrius! And if you are deciding whether to book him, do it!

    Highly recommended!

    Pastor Lawrence was not only professional but personable. He's an understanding, caring person who provided counseling to my fiance and I before we got married, and conducted the most beautiful service at our wedding. He was also graciously present at our wedding rehearsal and walked us through everything we needed to know to make our special day go smoothly.

    We also had the pleasure of meeting this beautiful wife, Alicia. She was also very professional, caring and relatable. Would highly recommend Pastor Lawrence. We felt like we not only hired an officiant, but gained a friend.

    Great Officiant

    Pastor Lawrence helped us plan the wedding by holding a Zoom meeting in advance and walking us through his service. Then, he arrived at the venue very early on the wedding day and executed everything in a very professional manner. We were so happy and honored to have him as our officiant!

    Interfaith Wedding

    We are so lucky to have found Pastor Lawrence. Pastor Lawrence worked with a Jewish Cantor to design the perfect interfaith ceremony. He was flexible from the start and delivered exactly what we had envisioned. Any couple would be lucky to work with him. We give him our highest recommendation.

    Perfection

    Our day was filled with many imperfections; however, I will say that Pastor Lawrence made our wedding perfect. His words spoke deeply to our hearts and we will never forget the meaningful messages he shared with us on our day. Ontop of everything else his beautiful wife was so calming, kind and encouraging when nerves were appearing. We feel very blessed to have had them as a part of our day.

    Pastor Lawrence

    From the first phone call interview, we both knew and felt in great hands. He made us feel like family, communicated with us like friends and ultimately was definitely the professional we needed for our big day. Pastor Lawrence was funny, honest, always available and punctual. We cant wait to recommend him to ANY and EVERY ONE we know getting married. It was a pleasure and honor to have Pastor Lawrence celebrate our union.

    If you are hesitating even a little, stop and book Pastor Lawrence! I feel so lucky and blessed that we found him. He was perfect, gentle, kind, and has the personality that once he talks you just want to stop and listen forever.

    So many people came up to us at the wedding to ask where we found him and I thank God that we did!!

    Pastor Demetrius was truly a God send during our special day. He was so professional, flexible, and patient during the day of the ceremony as we were running a bit behind schedule - he displayed a true investment into making our day as wonderful as possible, and we are so grateful.

    We loved having Pastor Demetrius officiate our wedding! We wanted someone who shared our faith, and he brought that into our ceremony effortlessly. His words were powerful, and everyone really appreciated what he shared. We met with him prior to the wedding, and he had a plan for the ceremony. On the day of, he was very understanding and flexible when we encountered unexpected delays with the start time. I feel like he really captured the essence of the moment we wanted to share with our loved ones, and we are glad that he was able to be a part of it. I highly recommend Pastor Demetrius to anyone looking for a kind, thoughtful officiant.
