    Our Beautiful Wedding Ceremony

    We are so grateful for Rev Steen, we wanted a covenant marriage with God's presence. Rev Steen listened to our needs and advised us on the best way forward with this request. We planned a Ketubah (Rev Steen's suggestion) which is a Jewish Marriage Document that is so lovely when framed it is a great reminder for the promises you make to each other. We choose our words offered by Rev and wrote our own wedding vows which are on our Ketubah. Our wedding was online, we were in the UK in Sutton Coldfield and Rev Steen in Salt lake City. Our guests were also mostly online and were in locations in different parts of the word. My sister...

    Hammaker/McNeill Wedding-Pinehurst, NC

    Rev. Arland Steen officiated our daughter's wedding and exceeded our expectations. He made us feel at ease throughout the whole planning process! He even kept his composure during the ceremony when a glitch with the microphone tested all of our nerves! The ceremony was meaningful and sincere and was everything we could've wished for and more! Thank you, Arland!!

    Santa Barbara Wedding

    Rev. Arland Steen was a great addition to our wedding ceremony. He listened to what my husband and I wanted for the ceremony and made it happen! My husband is Russian and Filipino and I am Serbian, so to incorporate all traditions and rituals truly meant a lot to us. (Communion:Bread&Salt Ceremony, Unity Candle, Vows etc.) Rev. Arland did a great job and you can't beat his price for everything he provides! It was personal and traditional, which was everything we could have hoped for. Thank you Rev. Arland!! Definitely recommend!
    Best,
    Kat and Josh

    Great Communication

    We hired Rev. Steen to officiate our wedding and even though he was based 3 hours away, he made it! This was great because we had looked for other officiants closer to our venue and they were all booked. Our vows were beautifully written and Rev. Steen was very keen to any changes we wanted. His communication with us was primarily over email which worked out great because he kept everything very detailed and his emails answered our questions before we even had any.
    When I look back and watch my wedding video, I just can’t get over how wonderful our ceremony was and the solemn meaning of our vows were so special.

    The Personalized Ceremony We Hoped For

    Looking for someone to perform our wedding ceremony seemed like a daunting task since neither my husband nor I have any close ties to a particular church but we still wanted to have a minister/reverend.

    We looked online at several choices and were excited about Reverend Arland Steen's promise of creating a personalized ceremony.

    The questionnaire that Arland had us fill out was quite extensive but it allowed us to truly be able to give him an idea of us as individuals as well as a couple. This provided everything he needed to be able to draft a truly personal ceremony. He even sent us a copy well in advance of our wedding date and welcomed...

    Rev. Arland is amazing

    Rev. Arland Steen wrote a beautiful and heartfelt speech that encompasses the story of both my husband and I beautifully. I could not have imagined a more perfect ceremony with him being apart of it. All the details he added in it was wonderful. I would highly recommend having Rev. Arland Steen being apart of your wedding and making your special day that much more special.

    Hot outside!

    I found Arland through the wedding wire website. I had contacted a few people for my ceremony. But found most were unavailable. Arland emailed me and yay! He was available for my Saturday wedding in July. We arranged a phone call. He called right on time, was very professional. Asked great questions and ultimately the call made me feel like I knew him when we hung up. Although it was a billion degrees at my wedding in my back yard. He showed up. Got the rundown of what we were doing. Stood in the blazing sun and performed our wedding very professionally and perfectly for us. It was a great day! Made even better by his services.

    Exceptional Experience - Responsive, Flexible, and Proactive

    Reverend Steen provided organized, punctual, and flexible officiant services for our non-traditional, short-notice ceremony. His website and consultation forms accurately reflect the diligence and consideration with which he tends to his work. My bride and I were appreciative of his attention to detail, as well as his ability to adapt to our inclinations for the ceremony's structure.

    During our wedding day, Reverend Steen was prepared, punctual, and efficient with our shared time together. The ceremony itself proceeded exactly as planned, and our written or verbal intentions were taken into account at every appropriate point.

    We recommend Reverend Steen to all who seek a thoughtful, prepared, and truly considerate treatment of their ceremony.

    Great Experience

    Rev Steen maintained a perfect level of communication with us leading up to our wedding and we really enjoyed the ceremony that he led. We could not have asked for a better day and he was a huge part of that. He tailored the ceremony to just what we wanted and made it a very easy process. We would definitely recommend Rev Steen.

    Intimate Park City Ceremony

    Wonderful officiant

    I am so happy that we had Arland as our officiant last weekend! He was very professional, kind, and helpful in the process leading up to our wedding. We did a pre-marital counseling session with him several months before the wedding which we really enjoyed! Then the ceremony at our wedding was perfect! We couldn’t have asked for anything better. It was the right amount of personal, emotional, and religious that we wanted. We are so happy and grateful he was there to help make our wedding day so beautiful!

    Perfect Ceremony

    This stellar review is long overdue. We were married by Rev. Arland Steen back in September of 2019. He was extremely personable and helpful from our very first interaction. This was a intimate destination wedding with no rehearsal leading up to the big day. He delivered such a beautiful message. I truly appreciated that he thoughtfully listened and honored our requests. My husband and I didn't have a super religious upbringing but Rev. Steen incorporated beautiful scripture that blended naturally . My mom (Christian faith) loved his message and that meant a lot to me. Thank you to Rev. Steen for contributing to our special day. I am grateful we chose you.

    Our experience with the vendor was excellent.

    Arland was very easy to work with and he was very responsive. He has many different options of ceremony to chose from and he explained the whole process very throughly. He joined us at our rehearsal which made everything run even smoother on the day of the wedding. We received a lot of compliments on the conducted ceremony which is a testament to how great he is. Overall we were extremely pleased with the service he provided and would recommend him to others.

    Renewal of Vows

    Officiant was always in contact with us throughout the process, so it made us feel at ease and he arrived on time and worked with us on our location. He made us feel comfortable and we are grateful for his service.

    Reverend Steen was perfect for our wedding

    We were searching for a reverend who was also comfortable mixing traditions from multiple faiths and cultures. That’s how we found Reverend Steen. He was a pleasure to work with and helped us put together the perfect ceremony that everyone enjoyed. After chatting on the phone and filling out the questionnaire, Reverend Steen put together a wonderful script that we revised multiple times. On the day, he delivered the ceremony beautifully and even managed to weave in some nice humor. We also did a separate day rehearsal, which we would highly recommend to ensure everything goes smoothly on the big day. Thank you Reverend Steen!

    Arland was great!

    We were planning a very small & simple civil ceremony and wanted a short and meaningful ceremony. Arland was perfect for the task and had prepared vows that were touching and personal. His prices were reasonable, documents filed on time and was easy to work with. I would recommend Arland.

    Arland Steen - So Blessed to have found him!

    Arland was a blessing to us. He was so kind, calm and flexible in making the wedding exactly what we wanted it to be. He also give us suggestions and ideas to fine tune things. His voice and mannerism helped instill a sense of connections with everyone, confidence and peace. We could not have been more pleased and would recommend him for any kind of wedding or event of all religious or non-religious services. We were so lucky to find so a wonderful person to bring us together forever. James Torrez & Rosie Hernandez (CHECK OUT OUR YouTube summary video).

    Excellent Experience!

    It is very clear in my experience that Reverend Steen is a true professional. He was punctual, flexible, responsive, and delivered a beautiful ceremony. If you are stressed about everything else on your wedding day you can stress about one thing less knowing that you hired the best. Would highly recommend.

    Minister for backyard wedding

    Rev. Steen gave us everything we wanted. He responded quickly to our questions. He customized our service from multiple, available starting points. Most importantly to us, he was adaptable to things that came up during the ceremony (my fault) to make it memorable. I fully recommend him to all.

    Professional, courteous officiant.

    Working with Rev. Arland Steen was a joy through and through! We went with a customized wedding package, and working through the details with Rev. Arland Steen was pain-free and the end result was memorable (in a great way).

    Arland Steen was the best choice possible for us at our wedding. He was on time and spoke wonderfully. He made sure to go over all the possible ceremony choices he provided as well as edit any parts we did and didn’t want. I would highly recommend him. 5 stars!!!
