    Wonderful officiant!

    Reverend Steen was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to end. He was easy to talk to, pleasant, helpful, flexible, warm and caring. We would happily recommend to him! Wonderful experience.

    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.

    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.

    Rev Steen wrote an amazing ceremony that not only fit our budget but fit us as a couple. When he emailed me the first draft I cried, no joke. The second time I read it, I cried again (yes it was that good). When we were beginning our search, he was our first and final interview. We had three officiants we wanted to meet and feel out, but after our first meeting we didn't hesitate to book Rev Steen. He made the process not only easy, but he guided us through the whole process. Rev. Steen was flexible with all the changes we made, even at the last minute! Our day was perfect!!!

    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).

    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!

    From the first time my wife and I talked with Arland Steen over the phone, we could tell that he was genuine and caring, and we connected with him right away. We loved the fact that he took the time to meet with us in person to get a feel for our personalities, so that he could customize the ceremony to our liking. He put us at ease right away.

    His calm and relaxed demeanor was a comfort to us througout our ceremony. Despite a number of ceremony miscues and unforseen obstacles presented by the location, Reverend Steen kept his composure, and if he was phased at all, he didn't show it. Standing next to him in front of our congregation felt like we were spending time with an old friend, even though we had sent very little time together. He was a blessing on our big day, and we would recommend him to anyone looking to make their ceremony a little extra special.

    Very professional and definitely heartfelt! The ceremony is the most important part of a wedding and he helped make ours perfect! He was incredibly easy to work with and talk to and he made sure we were 100% happy with everything before the big day!

    We had our wedding in a out of the way location and Arland Steen was happy to officiate for us. The vows he helped create for us were very touching and special. The ceremony was kind of last minute too. But thanks to him we were wed! We recommend him very highly

    We cannot say enough great things about Rev. Steen. He was such a pleasure to work with. He spent time with us prior to the wedding to really get to know us and then he used this to help personalize our ceremony. In the end we had such a memorable wedding ceremony and all in thanks to Rev. Steen! My husband was especially pleased as he had a moment with him prior to help him calm his nerves and make him feel extremely comfortable while he was waiting for me.

    The entire ceremony he looked us in the eyes and spoke to us not to the guests which was important for us. He made us feel especially comfortable and special. He took extra time to assure all of our marriage documents were completed and ready to go and he filed them for us.

    I am so lucky to be an event planner as I will definitely get to work with him again!

    Thank you so much Rev. Steen for everything. You have truly made our wedding such a memorable and enjoyable experience. We are truly blessed to have found you!

    My husband and I loved Rev. Steen. We ran into him at a wedding show and I am so happy we did. I was unsure who would marry us, we aren't religious so worried that we wouldn't have someone that would do the job the way we wanted it done. Arland did such a great job, the guests were misty eyed and we loved the ceremony he wrote from the first draft. He is so friendly and easy to work with it sure put my mind at ease.

    Reverend Steen was the officiant for our 2015 wedding. He was professional, courteous, and understanding. My wife and I had been searching for a few months for an officiant that made us comfortable. Rev. Steen quickly made us feel like we were the most important part of his day. An officiant is arguably one of the most important members of a wedding, because they set the tone for the day and ultimately oversee the most important part of it, the ceremony.
    After our first in person meeting, he promptly created a ceremony, with vows, that fit exactly what my wife and I wanted. He allowed us to make any edits that we wanted to, including adding or subtracting elements of the ceremony. He took excellent notes during our first meeting and translated those into a ceremony that all of our guests said “was absolutely perfect”.

    Rev. Steen is an excellent choice for an officiant. Whether you are religious or not, he will make sure that the ceremony fits your personality. He is priced fairly, he is kind, and he cares about your wedding. The highest praise I can give is that I would have changed nothing about our ceremony. He made it absolutely perfect.

    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.

    Arland was amazing! My husband and I were truly pleased with his work and wouldn't have changed one thing! He is very easy to communicate with prior to the ceremony and on our ceremony day he was ready to go! Everything went perfectly! Thank you Arland for all of your hard work and for making our wedding day so special!

    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.

    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.

    Reverend Arland Steen is a true gem! We can't say enough wonderful things about our experience in working with him. Not only did he step in when the minister that we had originally hired had a serious health crisis and had to step out of his commitment to our wedding, but he was extremely down-to-earth and heartfelt all the way through. Reverend Steen wrote our ceremony after visiting with us only once, and his writing embodied everything we were hoping for in our ceremony and vows. You would not go wrong by hiring Reverend Steen for your own wedding! Many blessings! Mary and Tom

    Reverend Steen is the real deal! if you are looking for someone so sincere, heartfelt, and warm to officiate your wedding this is the one for you. we had only met him one time, and in talking to us and communicating via email (this was a destination wedding) , he got such a great feel for who we are as a couple that the guests could not believe he hadn't know us for years. everyone told us our ceremony was absolutely beautiful. he worked with us on whatever we wanted and encouraged us to write our own vows(which we said we wanted to do!) but always took the pressure off by saying he always had backups! (we did end up writing our vows though...whew!). I cannot say enough good things about him! :) thank you Rev. steen for making our day so amazing! :)

    He comes across as genuine, kind, and knowledgeable about the wedding industry. He had a way of putting friends and family involved with the wedding at ease - he does have a calming effect on people. He had many resources for services that I had not contracted yet and had no idea where to start. Though I had a wedding facilitator, Pastor Arland assisted me when the facilitator did not. He is full service and he is good at what he does. The ceremony he wrote for us was beautiful and it really captured who we are and what we wanted to convey to our guests.

    Reverend Arland Steen planned and performed our wedding ceremony in May 2016 and did an incredible job! We had the pleasure of attending one of his church’s services and then going to lunch with him and his wife Barbara before the wedding, which was a blast. He’s so warm and friendly and helped answer all of our questions along the way. We really appreciated that he took the time to get to know us and understand how we wanted to personalize our ceremony. He put together a very meaningful and beautiful wedding ceremony for us. Everything went very smoothly. We loved working with him! Thank you, Rev. Steen!

    Reverand Arland Steen was wonderful. I loved that he was able to send us our complete ceremony before our actual wedding date.He is very detailed and organized. There were no mistakes and no surprises. Everyone loved the ceremony including ourselves. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who is getting married.

    We wanted to find an officiant who was flexible with our non-denominational backgrounds and could provide us with the service necessary for the ceremony. After some searches online for an officiant, we were very grateful to find Rev. Steen and requested for him to be at our ceremony. His services were very clear and informative, especially through his website. He was quick with answering our emails and personally got to know us in person; he was able to crank out the entire readings immediately after our meeting! We were very happy with the his performance of our wedding ceremony, and even more happy that the marriage license/paperwork was one less thing to worry during and after the wedding.

    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 was in Guyana in South America, Rev Steen USA, others in different places in the UK. It was great. My mum has dementia and does not leave the house much but she was there online, happy as anything and had a nice words to pass about the wedding. Rev Steen was amazed at how much she resembled his late mother-in-law; beautiful things were said. Our covenant was a serious matter to us, as we are believer's in Christ and the Scriptures and said right at the beginning when we met that we should seek God first. Rev Steen delivered a ceremony where God's presence was real and true - the scriptural reference when spoken felt focused and directed. The advice was spot on. It was absolutely beautiful. After the ceremony our online guests commented on various occasions that Rev Steen was calm and had a good spirit. They said he officiated a beautiful wedding. And it was beautiful. We made it a bit difficult for him because we moved the wedding from a bank holiday Monday to the day before a Sunday and he had his service to attend to at Living Wells ( look it up - you will be pleasantly surprised). That meant that the Reverend had to be online at 8.30; He was online at 8.15. I was late, I couldn't get the it to work. The minute the HDMI was plugged into the Tele the whole thing went to pot. So we got married on a mobile phone in an internet wedding with the Reverend online. Now that's inventive. I love love loved the outcomes on my wedding day and could not imagine it without the Good Reverend. I give praise to the Most High for allowing me to meet someone who wants to serve humanity with all the gifts he has and I give thanks for all he has done to help me and Eliiston on our special day. My vote for Rev Steen is 100%.

    Rev. Arland Steen was a great officiant. We knew the moment we met with him and he worked so hard to get to know us even before we committed to using his services that he was going to be a great fit for our wedding. He paid close attention to our wants and needs and put together a beautiful personalized ceremony that family members still compliment us on. Our wedding day was gonna be amazing no matter what but Rev. Arland Steen's words made the ceremony perfect. He also came for the rehearsal and really helped guide how the ceremony should go and put everyone's mind at ease. While we are fortunate to not have anyone in our family who was upset about our marriage he offered to be that advisor or consoler should anyone need someone to talk to before the wedding.

    Arland Steen made our wedding ceremony extra special and perfect. We met, he was very kind and professional. He gave us ideas and listened intently to what we wanted. He knows how to roll with family members. Hahaha. He and his beautiful wife attended our reception, and that made it even more perfect. He definitely gave us a beautiful ceremony, I wouldn't have changed a thing. Arland you definitely found your calling. Thank you.

    Reverend Arland Steen made our wedding ceremony feel perfectly sentimental and sacred. It was an amazing experience. As soon as we contacted him, he phoned us within a couple days, met with us promptly after that, and made a great impression right off the bat.

    The planning process was smooth and I wasn't worried one bit because he never left us hanging. We were able to customize the content depending on our cultural and religious backgrounds. When it came to fine tuning the ceremony wording Rev. Steen was very professional with MSWord and comments as well as being prompt with changes. Although my husband and I did not leave enough time for a rehearsal, our ceremony still went very seamlessly. (We planned to have our photos mostly done beforehand which went up to the last moment and I would recommend to every bride to make time for the rehearsal for an extra piece of mind for everyone.)

    Arland had a kind and gentle tone of voice with us which kept me feeling calm. Bottom line, Rev. Arland Steen was fantastic!!! All of our guests, friends, and family were very impressed with him and LOVED our ceremony. 5 stars for you!! Thanks Reverend Steen!

    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.

    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!!

    During the wedding planning I was stationed in Virginia and my husband was back home in California, where our wedding would take place. Someone had referred Arland's name to my mom to officate our ceremony. Being so far away I was apprehensive about who our officiant would be because I wouldn't meet them before I flew in for the wedding. My worries were very much eased the first time I talked to Arland on the phone. He personalized our ceremony to a "T". Our day was absolutely perfect, a huge thank you to 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

    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.

    Rev Steen was amazing to work with! When we met with him in person for the first time, it was an experience and a moment that we will never forget! Not only did he make us realize we made the right choice by choosing him, but he made us realize how special and loving our fairytale is! Each and every guest loved our ceremony. They complimented how lovely the, "hand ceremony" was and how well-spoken Rev. Steen was! In addition, he entertained our guests and kept them intrigued! Lastly, he responded quickly to our emails, flexible, always on time, and was able to guide us through everything! I would definitely recommend him!!!

    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 is professional, trustworthy, experienced, kind and an amazing officiant. I would highly recommend him!! Thank you again for making our wedding day so magical and perfect!!!

    Rev Steen is truly amazing. Our ceremony was so personal and heartfelt. He absolutely got a scence of who we are as a couple and made the ceremony everything we could imagine and more. Our guest made it a point to let us know how great he was. During my uncles speech he let us all know rev Steen was a 20 out of 10! You won't be disappointed with his services. I'm our opinion he is as good as they come!

    Reverend Steen is a great Wedding Officiant. My bride and I procrastinated on finding an officiant until the last minute and we were getting more stressed as the Wedding Date approached. That is when my to-be Mother-In-Law found Arland online. We were hesitant at first, but after meeting with Arland and starting to plan our wedding, we knew he was a great find.
    He did an amazing job of listening to our life story, creating a draft of the ceremony, and then working with us to revise the final draft to our liking. On the Wedding Day, Arland led a beautiful ceremony that felt like a genuine representation of who Ari and I (and our families) are.
    Arland is extremely professional, but knows how to have a good time. He was always on time and prepared for his duties, whether that be running through the ceremony during the rehearsal or the actual ceremony itself. He and his wife also joined us for the Rehearsal Dinner and Wedding Reception.
    Reverend Arland Steen comes highly recommended!

    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.

    We were thrilled with the professionalism and care that Rev. Arland Steen gave to our special day. During our first meeting with him, he spent over an hour just getting to know us and our story to make sure he really understood the relationship we had. He was able to then weave those personal pieces into a custom ceremony for us. On the day of the event, he was there on time, dressed professionally and conducted the ceremony with a calming confidence that put us both at ease. He also helped guide us through the somewhat intimidating process of getting the marriage licenses all squared away which we really appreciated. We would highly recommend him to any friend! Thank you Rev 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.

    Rev. Steen was very professional yet personable in every phase of our wedding. He came to our home for a pre-wedding meeting and helped us to design the ceremony to fit our personal desires. He then e-mailed us the proposed ceremony and gladly incorporated a few minor changes we requested. On the day of the ceremony he took charge to make sure it went very smoothly and not only us but many of our guests later commented on how what a wonderful ceremony Rev. Steen performed. We invited both he and his lovely wife, Barbara, to stay for the reception and many of the guests again commented on how nice it was that he went around and talked to many of them. We would highly recommend Rev. Steen to anyone.

    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.

He has a special way in personalizing your ceremony for your wedding. If we could get married again he'd be our very first choice without a doubt! Thank you so much Rev. Steen!!!

    Reverend Steen was so great and attentive to what we were looking for in the ceremony. He initially interviewed us to get a sense of us, our relationship, and different ceremony scripts to choose from.

    On the big day, he arrived early and ready to go. It went perfectly thanks to Rev. Steen. Thanks.

    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).

    Reverend Steen was very helpful from the start. He wanted to know what our expectations were and how we pictured our ceremony to be like to make it special. He helped us with our wedding vows, which we both really liked and he also made us very comfortable. We got a lot of complements about how beautiful the ceremony was. We highly recommend Reverend Steen.

    Rev. Steen happily accommodated our needs on very short notice. He was very professional and made sure we were comfortable with the ceremony outline prior to our wedding day. He used the little information we had provided of us and made the ceremony personalized, his words were very touching.
    He took care of our marriage certificate and we received our marriage license about a week and a half after we got married.
    My husband and I were very pleased and would highly recommend him.

    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 any input we had.

    We then met with him in person and formed an immediate connection. His warm personality and ability to capture in words what is truly special and unique to my husband and my relationship solidified that Arland was the right choice.

    During the rehearsal he made sure to go over all the details for how the ceremony would go and took away any stress related to submitting our marriage license.

    The day of the wedding, the ceremony was perfect. My husband and I both had people coming up to us afterwards asking about Arland and telling us how much they enjoyed what he said as well as how the beautiful words were delivered.

    We couldn't be happier and would definitely recommend Reverend Arland Steen!

    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.

    Rev. Steen is incredible! My husband and I were really picky when it came to choosing and officiant. Our families come from mixed religions so it was important for us to find someone who could deliver a ceremony that would please everyone. He is so nice and easy to work with. He helped make our wedding really special. We both highly recommend Rev. Steen!!

    Rev. Steen made our ceremony feel so personalized
    And special. All our friends commented on the perfect
    Length and style of his program. I had not met with him
    Other than a 45 min phone call due to living so far apart.
    From that he asked all the right questions and completely
    Captured the feeling and moments I was hoping to experience.
    I would recommend him to everyone.

He also took the time to really sit down with us to craft out the kind of wedding ceremony that we wanted. Also, he was highly personable and took the time to meet our families. Two thumb up!

    My husband and I were immediately drawn to Reverend Steen, he not only met with us halfway between where he lives and where we live to do a meet and greet, but he took a real interest in us as a couple. He asked us probing questions to get to know us individually and as a couple. Leading up to the day of the wedding, he sent us a wedding draft and even got on the phone with us to discuss edits. He was flexible with us when we told him we wanted to write and say our own vows, rather than do the traditional vows. All of the research and thought that he put into the wedding showed, with how well he delivered the ceremony. The only constructive criticism I have is that he had notified me that he would be attending our reception, so we included him in our final headcount, however he left immediately following the ceremony. All in all, his service was exactly what we needed for the day of the wedding.

    A perfect cermony

    Reverend A. Steen conducted our ceremony wonderfully. It was as if he knew us more than the brief emails and phone calls before our wedding. With care and communication Rev. Steen crafted the perfect vows for us. To ensure there were no hiccups Rev. Steen drove in the night before to be near the location of our ceremony. Due to the weather, we had to make an early morning judgement call if the locations would be changed. We were fortunate to keep the location. Through the entire process Rev. Steen was compassionate and made us and our children sense there was nothing more important and special than this ceremonial moment. We couldn't have asked for a better.

    Rev. Steen was great! He worked with us to create the wedding day we wanted. We were trying to blend a somewhat religious ceremony with a more spiritual ceremony and he was able to successfully write up a ceremony that was perfect for us! The only hiccup we had is that he had a computer malfunction after we'd met for the initial 'get to know you' session and we had to re-provide all our information. Other than that little bump, he was exactly what we were looking for at a great value!!

    Responsive & professional

    So, Rev. Steen ended up being a no-show to our wedding. While he didn’t end up being the person to officiate our wedding, he did work with me in writing an amazing ceremony script that we were still able to use the day of since he send me the final draft. He’s very responsive both in email and text and caters to each couple individually, making our ceremony super personal. At the end of the day, there are no hard feelings as I know life happens and I still would recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant.

    Arland went out of his way to make sure our ceremony was personal and he really captured us as a couple in it. My guests came up afterwards to share with me that they really enjoyed the ceremony and it helped set the tone for the rest of the wedding.

    Great Collaborator!

    Rev Steen collaborated with us on a great wedding ceremony! He had some good insight to offer and was flexible in balancing what we wanted and what worked for him. There was a bit of a mix up on the location of the wedding so we started ~20 minutes late. He was very apologetic and it seemed like an honest mistake.
