    Truly Fantastic Experience!

    My wife and I were recently married and couldn't have had a more positive experience with Reverend Frank as our officiant. From the moment we met him, we felt truly comfortable that our wedding ceremony was in the best of hands. Despite not knowing Reverend Frank prior to our engagement, we were able to easily come to know him over the course of our wedding prep sessions, which certainly helped the ceremony itself feel even more intimate. We couldn't recommend him more highly!

    Perfection

    Rev Frank was amazing. We had no idea what we were doing but we gave him an idea of what we liked in a ceremony and he took it from there! Sent us multiple drafts to make sure everything was correct & it was perfect. He got to know us & the marriage course was also great for us as a couple having those intimate conversations. He really made it a personal ceremony and gave us words of wisdom that will stay with us in our marriage. I love that we got to keep the book of our ceremony with all of the readings as well.
    We couldn't have picked someone better to do our ceremony, we’re so happy with him! It was perfect to a T.

    I am SO happy that I had the opportunity to work with Reverend Frank Nelson!

    I am so happy and honored to say that Reverend Frank was my officiant for my wedding! He was excellent in every way, and made the ceremony my favorite part about my wedding day! I am forever grateful for all of his help, support, and encouragement during his marriage preparation classes (the best investment I ever made! We really took away so many great things from these classes!), and for how special, uplifting, and personable he made our ceremony. Reverend Frank is so kind and great to work with, and really shows you that he truly cares about your relationship and happiness as a couple! It was such a positive experience working with Reverend Frank, from start to finish -- he gave us such a wonderful start to our marriage! I would highly recommend Reverend Frank to anyone!

    Rev Frank was an absolute joy to work with

    Rev Frank was a joy to work with. He is incredibly kind, loving and really takes the time to get to know his couples. He is also incredibly professional, a great communicator and very timely. Our wedding was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and Frank was incredibly flexible and accommodating to our change of plans. He really took the time to personalize the ceremony for us and worked closely with us to make it exactly what we wanted. He really took the time to personalize the ceremony for us and worked closely with us to make it exactly what we wanted. We got so many compliments about what a great service he put together from the small amount of people that were able to attend our ceremony. I would highly recommend working with Rev Frank!

    Most complimented part of our wedding

    Reverend Frank was a wonderful addition to our wedding day (and many days leading up to it). We did the premarital class with Rev. Frank and thought they were time and money well spent! We plan to use what we learned with Rev Frank as we go forward as husband and wife. Everyone we have spoken to since the wedding has talked about how much they loved Rev Frank! They loved him during the ceremony and they loved him during the reception and prayer. He really made the day wonderful for us. He was great to work with ahead of time and we couldn't have asked for more.

    Love and Affection for Reverend Doctor Frank Nelson

    My husband, George, and I want to express our sincere gratitude for all of the gifts that you have given to our daughter, Marisa, and to her new husband, Troy. You have given them the gifts of your time, your patience, your love and kindness, your counseling and guidance, your beautifully carved heart and pen, and your heartfelt, loving words during the wedding ceremony. George and I have had countless guests comment to us all evening (and the next day!) about the wedding ceremony you created. They loved that it was so personal and that it truly reflected the art of marriage and the sacredness of the bond. They also loved the symbolism of the carved heart and the “rings of love.” Finally, they adored your wonderful sense of humor—as do George and I! All of us wanted the ceremony to be the most important element of the evening—and it truly was.

    It was a honor to break bread with you at our table. We hope to stay in touch with you, and we will certainly recommend you to all of our friends. We have already had requests for your name! 😊

    Take care, Reverend Frank. You are truly a gift in all of our lives.

    With much love and affection,
    Nancy

    Fantastic Officiant!

    Reverend Frank, was the best pastor we could of ever found for our wedding. All of our family and friends raved about his sincerity, his humor, and his dedication to long lasting marriages. I highly recommend him for any bride looking for an officiant that is kind, sweet, and incredibly personable. -Marisa

    The best! We were SO happy with our day!

    We got married just about a week ago now and we’re SO happy with how our whole day went, especially with Rev. Frank. We decided to go through the pre marriage prep with him which we found very helpful and gave us a chance to grow closer not only with each other as a couple but with the man who would marry us. Rev. Frank was so kind, gentle, and accommodating from the start. He really listened to us and where we were at. As a couple, we are not religious, but some parts of our family are. We are a couple who loves the outdoors and married in a casual outdoor venue. Rev. Frank took each piece of our relationship and venue and made our ceremony our own. We got so many compliments on how the ceremony ran - even though it drizzled with rain through a short part. Rev. Frank made a point to talk to each of our parents, grandparents, and friends to really make everyone feel included. I would recommend reverend frank again and again. We are so happy he was there to lead us through our most special day!

    One of our best vendors

    Rev Frank offiacted our wedding two weeks ago, and we could not be happier with our ceremony. When we first met him for coffee, we could tell he was the perfect fit for us. Rev Frank was very responsive to emails and sensitive to tricky family dynamics. The ceremony he created was beautiful! It was one of our favorite parts of the day. We've received so many compliments about how personalized the ceremony was. We also took the Rev Frank's premarital course. The online format was great for our crazy work schedules. My husband and I are so glad we chose Rev Frank and highly recommend him.

    1000/10 would hire again!

    Rev Frank was absolutely amazing. We made the right choice by hiring him as our officiant and doing premarital counseling with him. We didn't think we needed premarital counseling but after doing it with Frank, we can't believe couples get married without it (specifically his program). He really got to know us as a couple, but also as individuals, and personalized the ceremony to our liking. Many guests came up to us and told us how amazing the ceremony was. It was great learning from him- he is so thoughtful and insightful. He really is the best at what he does.

    Exceptional officiant!

    We are so happy we chose Rev. Frank to officiate our ceremony! We also chose to do the in person marriage prep course with him. He is so warm and personable and completing the marriage prep course allowed us to all get to know each other and make our ceremony very individual and personal. We feel even more prepared for a long, happy marriage thanks to Rev. Frank!

    A Beautiful Heartfelt Wedding Ceremony

    We had a great experience working with Rev. Frank as our officiant. Frank was recommended to us by a pastor at my husband’s childhood church, and we are so glad we got this recommendation. Frank met with us at a coffee shop in order to get to know us personally, and it really showed in the ceremony draft he put together. He also made it easy for us planning a wedding out of town by being very responsive through email. He created a few different drafts for us based on our comments and feedback and by the end we had a ceremony that felt very personal and heartfelt. He also did a great job running the wedding rehearsal and making sure the bridal party and ushers knew exactly what to do on the big day. In the end we had a ton of positive comments from family and friends about how wonderful the ceremony was. A few aunts and uncles mentioned that it made them reflect back on their own marriages and vows. We highly recommend Rev. Frank!

    All I can say is WOW!

    My husband and I were married by Reverend Frank during late fall 2018. We both grew up in faithful, Christian homes, but between our several moves in a short period of time due to college and graduation, we had not found a church of our own, and were left without an obvious choice for an officiant for our wedding. We found Reverend Frank via an online search, and by our first meeting together we knew that we wanted to have him officiate our wedding and counsel us premaritally.

    Reverend Frank is very accommodating to whatever your ceremony wishes are, and it is something that you will spend time discussing prior to your ceremony. He is very detail oriented and so genuinely caring; it was very clear that he wanted us to love the ceremony and play a role in its design. Every detail was crafted and reviewed to ensure the ceremony reflected our personalities and desires. We felt completely comfortable suggesting new and different ideas to Reverend Frank, and never once felt they were unwelcome.

    We chose to have a ceremony rooted in Christian faith, but we had some non-traditional elements as well - particularly when it come to the readings and music. Reverend Frank did such an amazing job, and we had many compliments on his officiating after the ceremony. It truly felt like we had known him and worked with him for so much longer than just a few months!

    He also offers premarital counseling, which I would highly recommend as well. The formatting of the premarital counseling is such that you work individually, with your fiancé, and also as a group of the two of you with Reverend Frank. We found ourselves cherishing the time we spent together on our counseling, and it was an effective method to discuss our hopes, excitements, and fears, all with Reverend Frank’s guidance.

    All in all, Reverend Frank officiated a very lovely ceremony for us. He prepared us for our wedding day, and also many years to come. Reverend Frank was one of the top highlights of our wedding, and made us feel so special. I highly recommend him - you will not be disappointed!

    Caring Officiant for Any Wedding

    Rev. Frank was a final piece to our wedding puzzle. We met at a cafe for the first time, and we knew right away he was the right one. He worked to incorporate our different cultures respectfully into our wedding, and he was very open to our requests and had many great ideas himself. We received many compliments on our ceremony and his warm personality, as well as his ability to engage people in the event. We truly appreciated him as an officiant, and we highly recommend him to anyone!!

    Above and beyond our expectations!!

    To say this was an AMAZING experience would be an understatement. We had so many people tell us it was the best wedding ceremony they have ever attended. From the beginning of marriage counseling through the ceremony, everything reflected us and our relationship. We couldn't have asked for more and were blown away by how things actually ended up! There were so many small details that reflected our relationship and proved that Rev Frank took the time to know us as a couple and incorporate that information into the ceremony. Thank you so much!!!

    We were married on September 29th, 2018 up north in Minnesota. We met with Rev. Frank last spring and immediately felt comfortable and understood how organized Rev. Frank was. Prior to our wedding, we completed the Talk Points marriage counseling course. My Husband and I have been together for a long time and yet this course was able to get us to discuss things we hadn't talked about before. We learned new things about each other and had difficult conversations with one another that we may not have otherwise had that inevitably drew us closer to one another. We both think we garnered a great benefit and we are appreciative of the guidance the course offered to develop such honest conversations between us. Rev. Frank led our ceremony rehearsal and made a point to meet everyone present so that on our wedding day, everyone was excited and assured of what their role was.
    Using Reverend Frank as our officiant was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. Our ceremony was personable and heartfelt. Reverend Frank was engaging and funny. He presented us with an outline and worked with us to create a program that expressed everything we wished for. He played off of my husband and I's humor and made the ceremony to reflect our personalities-- including a reading dedicated to our dog! We were not the only ones who were very impressed; the rest of the night our guests raved about how wonderful our ceremony was and how great Reverend Frank is. He made the entire ceremony feel warm, even on a cool, snowy Minnesota day.

    Amazing Lisa

    We were planning a very last minute wedding as we wanted to be married outside when a friend referred us to Rev Dr Frank. From our first meeting it was clear to us what a kind and genuine man he was and the more we talked we realized it was perfect fit! The ceremony he officiated for us was absolutely beautiful, heartfelt and meaningful. He touched many peoples heart that day and ours and we are forever grateful to him.

    Rev. Frank was the best! From the first phone call to the day we were married he was very attentive to all of our needs. He was so knowledgeable, were glad we choose him for our big day. If you are looking for someone to officiate your wedding Frank is the best in the twin cities. We loved his marriage prep course as it was laid back, but very helpful. We had so many friends and family comment on how beautiful the ceremony was. If you are like us and have been researching for days on who to choose, stop now call Frank and set up a meeting....You will not be disappointed!!

    We cannot say enough about Rev. Frank. Hiring him as our officiant was one of the best decisions we made during the wedding planning process. The ceremony he crafted for us was so beautiful and personalized to as a couple. A few of our guests said our ceremony was the best they had ever heard because of the personal touches that Rev. Frank added. He made it a point to get to know our families the night before at our rehearsal dinner as well and was very willing to travel to our mini-destination wedding
    Rev. Frank is pricey, but those were dollars well spent in our eyes. We recommend using his online premarital counseling course as well.

    Wow! Hiring Rev. Frank was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding and marriage. He is a true professional – tending to each client with interest, care and excitement. We could not have imagined a better person to work with.

    Frank is a delight and very easy to talk to during the pre-marital sessions! He is deeply interested in getting to know couples, he has a great sense of humor, and he has the wisdom that can only come from a long marriage and family of his own. We completely trusted him from the beginning and our sessions with him were some of our favorite moments of wedding planning.

    Frank has his own marriage curriculum that he has developed to facilitate conversations about lots of important marital topics. We completed all the workbook materials and conversations on our own, but brought them back to talk through with Frank –and to address certain sticky issues.

    He then took our answers and he wrote our ceremony and our vows. This was a major relief to have someone with the skills to do this for us. He did multiple drafts and always paid great attention-to-detail, asking relevant questions to make sure we got exactly what we wanted.

    Throughout the entire wedding weekend, Frank was a joy to have around. Not only is he interested in the couple, but he really likes to get to know your extended family. I'm not sure if other brides get so many compliments on their ceremonies but it is ALL anyone could talk about at the reception. People commented that it seemed he had known us for years (I credit his interest in really investing his time and care into getting to know the couple and family) and several guests we didn't even know that well had told us they were in tears multiple times!

    Frank played a huge role in making the day and the ceremony so special. We have been to many weddings in the Twin Cities and we can honestly say that no one will do a better, more custom, beautiful ceremony than him! FIVE STARS!

    Rev. Dr. Frank Nelson was absolutely amazing! We did the pre-marriage sessions and he was our wedding officiant. The pre-marriage sessions were very helpful and Frank made them fun. He is a very approachable and kind man. He also has a good sense of humor which helped make every encounter a relaxed effort. My husband and I always looked forward to going to our meetings with Rev. Frank and we always had great conversations afterwards! Our wedding ceremony was perfect! Rev. Frank did a great job at making it personal and special. He helped us write our own vows and the wedding guests raved about how great of an officiant he was. We truly can't say enough good things about Rev. Frank.

    Reverend Frank was great! Frank came highly recommended from a family member who had him perform their ceremony and we were not disappointed in our choice (coming from a Minnesotan, being 'not disappointed' is high praise!). Frank was on point in his communications and was very amiable and genuine from the get-go. Working with Frank before our wedding was a breeze. He provided several drafts of the ceremony on the way and made every change that we requested (there weren't many). The resulting ceremony was great: it was heartfelt without being too serious and the length was perfect.

    We also opted to do pre-marital counseling with Frank. If you're able to do this, we recommend doing so. Not only do you and Frank get to know each other, but you can also get a chunk of your wedding license fees removed! Frank's attention to detail was evident as he brought up many of the small thoughts and details for our ceremony in future meetings. We felt that through several face to face meetings Frank was able to make our ceremony more personal.

    Our only gripe was that sometimes communications to and/or from Frank were never received. We don't know if it was on our end or Frank's, but after a follow up message Frank was always quick to respond. If you're looking for an officiant, Frank is your guy.

    We loved working with Rev. Frank. We took the classes and so happy we did, it really put an extra touch on our ceremony. Rev. Frank really took the time to get to know us and even worked with us on ways to involve our daughter. we got so many compliments after our ceremony.

    Rev. Frank is hands-down the best Wedding Officiant we could have ever asked for! He not only tailored our wedding ceremony to precisely the right tone we wanted, Rev. Frank made our ceremony so personal, fun, and special - guests have been talking about the ceremony just as much as the reception! From the minute we met Rev. Frank, we felt so comfortable - he is the most kind-hearted, warm, caring person with insightful advice and a great sense of humor. Rev. Frank's commitment to making sure our wedding ceremony was specific to us as a couple and our lives together, including our family and friends, stood out and will forever make me smile when I look back at my wedding day!

    Thank you so much for guiding us through this marriage course as well as performing at
    our ceremony. We couldn't have asked for more from Rev. Dr. Frank Nelson who
    taught us how to better communicate and learn from each other with his class as
    well as give us everything we wanted in a ceremony. We had multiple family
    members ask where we found him because of how perfectly he made the ceremony. He
    made it somehow unique and traditional. Our wedding was a perfect day and we
    couldn't have had that without him. Thank you from the bottom of our
    hearts.

    Reverend Frank Nelson did an amazing job at my wedding! I have known him most of my life, but he did not know my fiance and he was able to incorporate the best parts of our classes together to make us a wedding ceremony completely our own and so very special! Highly, highly recommend Frank to anyone looking to have a unique and personalized wedding ceremony customized to you!

    Rev. Frank was amazing! We did the marriage preparation course with him as well, which we found to be really helpful. Rev. Frank took the time to get to know my husband and I as a couple and as individuals and was able to bring unique personal elements into our ceremony as a result. He knows his stuff when it comes to weddings and had lots of great ideas and he was flexible and worked in some of our ideas as well. Rev. Frank handled the rehearsal impressively and really helped everyone to feel comfortable and an important part of the ceremony. He helped to make sure everyone knew what they needed to do to make what ended up being the most unique, personal, emotion felt wedding ceremony. We had so many guests come up to us afterward and comment on how touching the ceremony was and how personal it felt. My husband and I could not be happier with our luck in finding Rev. Frank and are so thankful for everything he did for us.

    We can't say enough about the amazing experience we had working with Rev. Frank as our wedding officiant!
    We chose to do the online marriage classes and met with Rev. Frank for our third and final session. It was so valuable to us as we prepared for our wedding day and our marriage!! The program that Rev. Frank has developed perfectly guides the couple through their marriage prep and facilitates great conversation.
    Rev. Frank also used our own words and thoughts from the marriage courses as part of our ceremony which gave it an extra level of personalization that we appreciated so much.
    We received so many compliments directed towards Rev. Frank. He arranged the perfect ceremony and every guest was captivated the entire time!
    I would hands down recommend any future bride and groom reach out to Rev. Frank and book him as you officiant!!!

    We loved working with Reverend Frank!! He was recommended to us by a friend, and would not hesitate to recommend him to others, as both pre-marriage coach and officiant.

    In our pre-marriage counseling, he was a great facilitator and guide. We got so much out of our sessions, they were a pleasure not a chore and we learned a ton of new things about each other and ourselves as a couple.

    And as for the day of the wedding , he was again terrific. He was essential in orchestrating the ceremony in the exact tone and tenor that we wanted. He was also so warm and personable on our wedding day. Our families loved him, I must have gotten over ten compliments from family about how lovely he and his words were. He did a great job at making our wedding feel personal and intimate while still keeping the gravity of the occasion.

    In summary: great counselor, great at planning the ceremony, and great on the day! We absolutely could not recommend him more highly. He is the best!!

    Exceptional choice for an officiant and marriage preparation courses. It was great to work with Rev. Dr. Frank Nelson as he took the time to get to know us as a couple and provided positive feedback. We enjoyed completing his workbook and meeting with him to discuss the exercises.

    We wanted our ceremony to be meaningful and not like every other wedding that seems to have little reflection of the couple getting married. Our marriage ceremony was unique and personal. We were very pleased with every aspect of the event. Rev. Frank took the lead at the rehearsal and coordinating with the DJ the day of our wedding leaving little for us to manage and more time to focus on other aspects of our special day. We also received a great deal of feedback from our friends and family of how much they enjoyed the ceremony and thought it was very special.

    We would highly recommend Rev. Frank for marriage preparation classes and as an officiant.

    Rev. Frank is the best! He really took the time to get to know us and he understood us from the very first time we met. We met together multiple times leading up to the big day and it was always fun. Our ceremony was incredibly personalized and was really special. Every one of our guests told us how heartfelt the ceremony felt and many even said it was the most beautiful they had ever been to!

    We would recommend him to everyone, he is the best!

    While my husband, Mike, and I are both spiritual people, we are not very religious. Many of our family members and friends are so I thought finding an officiant who would truly understand and embrace our unique chemistry as a couple while still honoring the faith and beliefs of our guests would be a difficult task. Since we were on a strict budget and wanted our officiant to also be able to do premarital counseling with us, our options were limited. We found a handful of officiants that piqued our interest and set up appointments to meet with a few of them. Rev. Frank was the first officiant we met and, after sharing our story and vision for our ceremony with him over a cup of coffee, immediately cancelled our appointments we had scheduled with the others. Mike and I both very much connected with Rev. Frank and left that first meeting feeling extremely excited about having him marry us. Our entire experience with him far exceeded everything we had hoped for as we prepared to embark on our new journey together as husband and wife. Rev. Frank picked up on the tiniest details during our conversations with him over the few months leading up to our wedding day and incorporated those, along with so many other special elements, into our ceremony. All of our guests commented on what a genuinely beautiful and unique ceremony it was, many saying they had never seen anything like it and it was the best they have ever been to. Mike’s best man made a point to share these words between tears during his toast at the reception: “You are a truly anointed man in Christ and did a fantastic job. I’ve been to a few weddings that were not at churches and it's 'hummana hummana, hummana hummana, hummana hummana, I do, I do, rings, bar'. What I witnessed today was truly amazing. I haven't cried this much since Old Yeller."
    Thank you, Rev. Frank, for making our wedding day the absolute BEST day of our lives and one Mike and I (and our family and friends) will remember and cherish forever!

    We received countless compliments from family and friends who were so moved by our wedding ceremony. Several even told us it was the best, most special wedding they'd ever been to. We owe so, so much of that to Rev. Frank. Thanks goes to Rev. Frank for orchestrating, planning and leading a beautiful ceremony. He also took the time to know us and created a celebration that fit who we are. It was a lovely, memorable, special day - more than we had even hoped for.

    We also met with Reverend Frank several times for pre-marriage coaching. It was a great experience. We were thankful for the opportunity to have some important discussions prior to our marriage. It also allowed us to get to know Reverend Frank (and him to know us) prior to the ceremony, making the day even more special. Working with Rev. Frank was one of the best decisions we made about our wedding!

    Choosing Rev Frank as our officiant was on of the best decisions we made. Choosing to do the premarital counseling was priceless. It really helped us become a stronger couple. We still refer to his lessons to this day. I highly recommend doing the sessions. It also allowed him to really get to know us and visa versa. He took actual statements we made in our sessions and included them in the ceremony. He used our own words to draft our vows. Which made it very personal and unique and saved so much time from doing it ourselves. I would recommend his services to anyone looking for an officiant that goes above and beyond.

    Choosing Rev. Dr. Frank for our wedding was one of the easiest decisions we had throughout wedding planning! He was so easy to work with and made everything from the marriage preparation classes to the vows very personal. He made our ceremony a dream come true - he took pieces of our personalities and made a very special, memorable ceremony. Rehearsal was perfect - taking the stress out of our big day knowing exactly what to expect. We had numerous people compliment us on the ceremony and Frank's services!! We couldn't have chosen anyone better and we highly recommend him for your marriage preparation and ceremony!!

    Rev. Dr. Frank was such a delight to work with! We had the opportunity to do premarital counseling with him before our wedding and I'm so glad we did. He helped us learn so much not only about ourselves but about our relationship and how to keep it growing in the right direction. It made the wedding ceremony so personalized since we got to know him over the months prior. We had so many complements on our wedding day. Everyone absolutely loved him and continue to talk about how great he did! He was so professional and made the ceremony funny yet very tasteful. It was the best day of our lives and we're so glad he was such a big part of it!

He's extremely responsive, kind and open to being flexible. Our wedding guests still rave about him commenting specifically on how meaningful he made our ceremony. We couldn't be happier with our decision and will definitely recommend to others!! Thank you Rev. Frank for everything and for being so flexible to fit with our needs and desires!

    Rev. Frank made our experience of planning our wedding, going through the marriage classes and officiating at our wedding so wonderful. He was non-judgmental and gave relevant advice. As the outdoor ceremony began, it just started to rain. Usually this would be a disaster in every brides world, but Rev. Frank was so calming and professional, we continued on and completely forgot it was even raining! We could not have asked for anyone better to marry us and we are so thankful for all of his help.

    Rev Frank Nelson was truly amazing. I could not have asked for anyone better to marry me and my husband. He did such a great job truly getting to know us and it showed during the ceremony. We got tons of compliments on what a wonderful job he did on showing our love for one another and in our own way. Neither one of us are very religious and wanted a non traditional wedding and we found the perfect officiant. I wouldn't have changed one thing he did. He made our wedding day perfectly amazing!

    Dr. Rev. Frank Nelson was unbelievable! He did an amazing job at our wedding. We had so many compliments after the ceremony from everyone that attended. He made the ceremony so personal with a perfect mixture of sincerity, love and humor all at the same time.

We would recommend him to everyone! Thank you for making our ceremony so memorable!!!

    Rev. Frank was everything we were looking for in an officiant. We did our pre-marital prep classes with him (TalkPoints) and also had him officiating the ceremony. Guests are still telling me a month later that the ceremony was beautiful! We were able to go through the ceremony and personalize it before the wedding so it fit my husband and I perfectly. We couldn't be happier with Rev. Frank!

    Reverend Frank is FANTASTIC! We worked with Rev.Frank on our marriage prep and he also performed our wedding ceremony. We couldn’t have been any happier with both the marriage prep and the officiating of our ceremony; he truly made both experiences memorable.

    Marriage Preparation: We really appreciated how Rev. Frank guides each couple through the marriage preparation, but allowed each couple to make what they want of it. Additionally, we felt the topics were very relevant topics for a couple to talk through before entering marriage.

    Marriage Ceremony Officiant: We still receive compliments from ours guests about how personable, unique and heartfelt our ceremony was. We really liked how Reverend Frank worked with us to customize our ceremony exactly how we wanted it and we were able to preview the ceremony on paper before our big day. Our only regret is that we didn’t book a videographer so that we could see our ceremony again!

    If you are looking for both a marriage prep program and/or wedding officiant, do yourself a favor and meet Rev. Frank. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed!

    Rev. Frank provided premarital counseling and then officiated our wedding on 8/27/11. It was AMAZING! He created a ceremony that is so unique, we got a million compliments. People were saying it was the best wedding ceremony they have seen because of how unique it was. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for an officiant.

    We interviewed one other officiant before finding Rev. Frank and we were pleasantly surprised after meeting with him. During our initial meeting and throughout the whole process he was very professional, organized and always willing to make the ceremony how we wanted it to be. We also did the pre-marital classes which were very helpful and added to our positive experience. And the ceremony was great! Thank you Rev. Frank for being our officiant and for all of your guidance and help along the way. We would highly recommend Rev. Frank as an officiant.

    Rev. Frank was our officiant for our wedding and we decided to take his pre-marital course as well and all was worth it. He offered us his internet course and it was very beneficial for us both. It was very well explained and easy to work through together. As far as our ceremony and rehearsal, Rev. Frank was always promptly on time and easy to work with. He was always prepared and worked hard to give us a great ceremony and communicated well with his plans on how the ceremony would go. We had received many comments from guests at our wedding of how good the ceremony and wedding was. If he is available for your day, we would highly recommend you consider Rev, Frank.

    Rev Frank Nelson was spiritual, but not stiff or stuffy; he was funny and animated but reverent; he was flexible and communicative with us during our fast-paced schedule and planning. His preliminary conselling process elicited our beliefs and feelings for eachother in such a comfortable way, we knew we had the right officiant for us. He wove our words together with his to create a beautiful ceremony and vows that were so personal -- many of our guests commented on how intimate and special it was. He worked with us to involve our children and to find symbols that reflected our values and interests. He was awesome! Kim Evers, St Paul

    Reverend Frank is great. He really made our wedding ceremony unique with all of his personal touches. He was very flexible and was willing to work with us to shape the wedding ceremony so that it was just the way we wanted it. You can tell that he's been doing this for a long time and that he's a total professional.

    We also took the private marriage prep counselling with Reverend Frank. He's a former church pastor, and we think that helps him be a great teacher. He's got a lot of experience from counselling other people. We felt that he genuinely cared about us.

    We definitely recommend Reverend Frank for both counselling and as a wedding officiant.

    What can I say about Reverand Dr. Frank Nelson, other then he was the best and we were so blessed to have him Marry us, he made it so personal and was such a good leader at the wedding rehearsal, he was willing to meet up to talk and discuss things whenever we needed him, and he offers a great pre-marritable counceling/reading sessions. He made everything that much better, in fact we got so many compliments on him that I was overwhelmed with how great he was and is! If you chose him to marry you, you will be so happy that you did and I really don't think you will be able to find a better officiant. Thank you again Rev. Nelson, we are so greatful for you! Love Anne & Jason

    From the moment we met Rev. Frank we knew this would be a perfect fit! He was very kind, polite, and professional. He really listened to us both equally, taking the time to get to know us. He took what we both said and created the most beautiful and personal wedding vows. We could not of asked for anything more! Next to my bed is a small wooden heart he crafted for us and gave to us during our wedding. I look at it every day and not only think of our vows and our love for one another but also I think of Rev. Frank and what an amazng man he is! We will never forget our wedding day!! Thank you Rev. Frank!

    Rev. Frank was wonderful to work with. He truly cared about us as a couple, but also as individuals. The classes we took with him before our wedding were very helpful in realizing our different personalities and backgrounds, and why we work well together as a couple. The classes also helped us determine the differences we have and how best to learn from them. The wedding itself was wonderful, as Rev. Frank is a true professional. He relates well to the guests and it really shows how well he has come to know the couple he is marrying. He also has a great sense of humor which makes it fun too! We would definitely recommend Rev. Frank to anyone who is looking for marriage classes as well as a wedding officiant.

    We were blessed to find Rev Frank to be our Officiant for our wedding. We were looking for an officiant that would honor our faith outside of a church setting. It was a perfect match. Our wedding was an outdoor wedding in a vineyard. Rev Frank match his message to our setting and our history as a couple and it was wonderful. Many commented that the service was perfect and they thought we had known Rev Frank for years. Even though we met just month earlier.

    We enjoyed going through the TalkPoints for engaged couples book. While there were many areas my husband and I had already discussed there were new areas the book guided us through. This helped us feel even closer together as a couple.

    From day one we really connected with Rev Frank, especially my husband. Which is nice when so much of a wedding is focused on the brides wishes, having an officiant that my husband connected with was a joy. Rev Frank's personal approach and caring demeanor is evident. To this day, 3 years later, we still stay in touch.

    Reverend Frank was absolutely great to work with. He met with us a bunch of times before our wedding day to get to know us, and counsel us about what marrige means. He was flexible with his meeting times and even came to our home to do them. When it came time for the rehearsal and the actual wedding, he was prompt, professional, and endearing. The message during the ceremony was perfect... we even had guests come up to us afterward telling us that they really loved what Rev Frank had to say. My husband and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone who is looking for an officiant for thier wedding.

    Rev. Frank was extremely accommodating to our needs, as we were living out of state. He was able to discuss much of our thoughts on marriage through online video conferencing. It made our in-person visits more comfortable.

    Additionally, Rev. Frank listed to our every want and wish in regards to our service. Nothing came as a surprise to us, and everything went as smooth as could be.

    We enjoyed our time working with Rev. Frank both in planning our wedding ceremony and in marriage preparation sessions. He created a beautiful ceremony for us that was unique to our style, relationship, and values. The meetings with Rev. Frank were well organized with lots of valuable content and the environment was open minded and relaxed. I have recommended Rev. Frank to friends and will continue to speak highly of him as do the guests at our wedding.

    Rev. Frank was amazing to work with. He was able to give us the exact ceremony that we wanted and was able to personalize it even though he had only met us once, in person, before the day of our wedding. He was very easy to get a hold of via phone and email and provided ideas for readings and the general planning and flow of the ceremony. We received so many compliments from our guests. He was able to keep the ceremony light while still making it very meaningful. I would recommend him in an instant to anyone looking for an officiant for their wedding.

    Thanks Rev. Frank for helping to make our day so wonderful!

    Rev. Frank is amazing. We were given his name as a reference from a friend of ours, and we are so thankful that they did. He was very professional, and he has a very warm personality that we knew would be perfect in our ceremony. We still consider him a very good friend, and send him a Christmas card every year. I would absolutely recommend him to a friend.

    Rev Frank did a wonderful job with my husband and I's wedding. He is a very kind and understanding person and provided us with a very personal, intimate wedding ceremony. In addition, he provides marriage preparation classes that were quite helpful, both for us as a couple and in crafting our ceremony to make it a more unique experience from the 'standard template' that I have seen in the past.

    I can't thank Rev Frank enough!

    My husband and I are grateful we met Rev. Frank. He was amazing and personalized our ceremony to not only bring out our personalities, but to make it better than we could have asked for.

    We participated in the premarital counseling, which was a great opportunity for us to not only dig deeper into subject we thought we had covered (after dating for 5 years while in our thirties) but also for Rev. Frank to get to know us.

    You can tell uniting people in marriage is Rev. Frank's passion and he will go out of his way to make your day exactly what you want it. We highly recommend him.

    Also, I should mention that we received countless compliments from our guests on our ceremony, including "best wedding ever" multiple times. It lasted about 20 - 30 minutes, and was a very special time. I loved it.

    I always say if I had dreamt up the perfect officiant for our wedding in my head, he still wouldn't have been as good as Rev. Frank Nelson. What can I say? From the very first day we met, Rev. Frank made us feel like the most valued couple in the world. His interest, attention to detail, and insights into our relationship and families over our year of couple's counseling together really helped to make it feel like he was an old friend rather than a minister-for-hire come the Big Day. He's not just going through the motions; he legitimately cares about his clients' lives, relationships, and well-being.

    Being not that religious ourselves but with very religious parents (Catholic and Lutheran), my husband and I had a difficult line to walk with our wedding ceremony. But Rev. Frank understood this completely and crafted a ceremony that was personalized and spiritual without being overtly religious one way or the other. In the end, it was the ceremony of our dreams, and everyone we spoke to afterwards had nothing but praise for the event, saying how personal, honest, and thoughtful it all was.

    I cannot say enough about how outstanding an experience this was. If you hire Rev. Frank for your wedding, you will not be disappointed.

    Rev. Frank is a bit on the pricey side, but he was a perfect fit for our wedding. We took his marriage classes before hand, so we had some time to get to know each other. It was clear at our wedding that he took a lot of time to consider who we were as individuals and what type of wedding service would fit us and our personalities best. He was caring, funny, touching and light hearted. A perfect fit four our special day. I would highly recommend him, and recommend taking his classes before hand. He is a person worth getting to know!

    Reverend Frank was absolutely fantastic! We did both the marriage preparation and had Reverend Frank as our wedding officiant and could not be happier with the services provided.

    Wedding Officiant: We had so many comments from our guests about how well Reverend Frank ran the ceremony and how beautiful his words were. He customized the ceremony and worked with us so that it ran the way we had envisioned it. He used words from our own thoughts and discussions that we had with him, which was great and helped make the ceremony feel more intimate and personal.

    Marriage Preparation: Reverend Frank was great to work with. We really enjoyed meeting with him for each of our visits. He was patient and great a listening and giving us tools for what we need to have a successful marriage. It also helped both of us feel more comfortable when it came time for the ceremony.

    We would highly recommend Reverend Frank!

    When we were looking for an officiant, we were looking for someone that offered marriage counseling and would manage our rehearsal and ceremony. We can't imagine finding a better officiant than Rev. Frank. We took the pre-marriage counseling (highly recommend) and got to know him before the ceremony. Through the counseling, Rev. Frank was able to personalize our ceremony. We had nothing but wonderful comments about the ceremony from our guests.

    Rev. Dr. Frank Nelson was quite possibly the best choice we made for the wedding. Not only was he incredibly heartwarming, friendly and kind but also quite patient and well organized. Prior to the wedding he put together our ceremony in a well-timed manner and incorporated many personalized quotes from our marriage counseling sessions into the ceremony. This enabled our wedding to have the personal element I so desperately yearned for.
    As for the day of the ceremony, we had few somewhat chaotic moments including the best man who was went missing and was absent during the rehearsal. He was able to come up with immediate solutions to situation and kept everyone calm. His serene demeanor kept the wedding together and helped smooth the entire event.
    Additionally, prior to the wedding ceremony, he spent quite a bit of time talking with our families. Every single person commented on how nice he was and that they were very happy with his service.

    Rev. Nelson is great! Not only did we enjoy his preparation and professionalism, so did all of our guests! Everyone thought his remarks during the ceremony were memorable and appropriate. Great experience all the way around.

    Reverend Frank was a very thoughtful, considerate, and valuable contributor to our wedding. We received several positive comments about him from friends and family after the ceremony. We would recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant for their wedding.

    Rev. Frank was a pleasure to work with. He made us fell comfortable throughout the process and provided useful guidance for us to use throughout our lives and our marriage. The ceremony was outstanding and Rev. Frank was well-prepared and conducted it beautifully. After the ceremony, we received numerous complements from our family and friends. We would highly recommend Rev. Frank!

    Our experience with Reverend Frank surpassed our expectations. While we weren't originally planning on taking the pre-marriage course with him, we are so glad we did! We learned so much more about each other. His approach is to provide a non-threatening environment, where the couple can feel free to be completely open and honest with each other. He helped us to acknowledge each other's differences and in fact celebrate them. We still have our work book and refer back to it when necessary. The day of our wedding was incredibly special and much of that was due to Reverend Frank. He provided us with a beautiful ceremony and really helped to take charge so that everything went off smoothly.

    My wife and I where very happy with Rev. Frank. From the start we felt very comfortable sharing our life story with Rev. Frank, as you could really sense his compassion for helping couples transition from engagement to marriage. We also enjoyed doing the at home marriage classes, which provided flexibility for our busy schedules. We would highly recommended using Rev. Frank as an officiant for your wedding.
