    Warm and professional

    Pastor Scott is amazing - from the get-to-know you interview to the wedding day, he was warm, professional and so helpful. He gave us ideas for the overall ceremony program, as well as options for pledges, readings and vows. He took the time to get to know us and wove our story throughout the ceremony, making the experience so personal and special. We highly recommend Pastor Scott.

    Scott is the BEST!

    We were referred to Scott by our wedding coordinator. I told her I wanted someone professional, friendly, responsive and FUNNY!
    I wanted someone who wouldn’t be too serious during the ceremony and someone who would throw in a few jokes here and there. The minute I spoke with Scott, I knew he was the right person to marry us. He was very responsive to all of my emails and really tried to get to know us on a personal level. Our ceremony was absolutely perfect because of Scott. Even our guests commented on how great he was!
    If you are looking for an officiant, look no further!
    Thank you, Scott!

    Heartfelt and Personal

    Pastor Kirk did an amazing job officiating my daughter’s wedding this summer. We came from out of town and did not have a personal pastor in the area. We found pastor Kirk online, watched a few of his ceremonies, spoke with him over the phone and knew he was the perfect minister for our special day. His warm and friendly style makes you feel like he’s been your pastor from childhood and a family friend. We could not have asked for a better officiant! Five stars!

    Great experience!

    Scott officiated our wedding back in May 2022. From the first call we had with him he was very professional, kind, and easy to talk to. We had talked with another officiant before him but knew right away we wanted to go with Scott. It can be hard to imagine a total stranger being part of such an intimate part of your wedding, however he made us feel very comfortable and like we weren't someone he had just met. He walked us through the process for creating our ceremony and drafted a script which he then sent to us and allowed us to work off of to make it our own. It was a huge help since we had no idea where to begin putting together the ceremony. Scott was very responsive and helpful throughout the entire process. He showed up on time and ready for both the rehearsal and ceremony. We received a lot of compliments on our ceremony after. I would definitely recommend working with him if you want a good, stress-free experience!

    Scott was great for our wedding! He helped to include personal details of our relationship to make it special. He was also very personable during the ceremony.

    Highly recommend, professional & kind. 10/10

    Pastor Scott was absolutely amazing to work with. He made the planning stages so easy and came up with the most beautiful, perfect ceremony for us. He was very thorough and even came to our rehearsal which was so nice and eased a lot of nerves. Our friends and family still talk about how amazing and kind he was. We recently got back our wedding video and were in tears of joy all over again. We could not have asked for a better Pastor to officiate our marriage!

    Thanks Pastor Scott!

    Pastor Scott was amazing from the beginning. As soon as we met him, we knew he was the person we wanted to officiate our wedding. He was very professional and organized throughout the process. The wedding day went exactly as planned. Thank you, Pastor!

    From the very first moment we met Scott, we knew he would provide us with an amazing wedding ceremony. He took the time to talk to us, to get to know the “hows and whys” of our relationship. Scott created a truly meaningful wedding ceremony for us! It meant a lot that he paid attention to the details of our lives and wove them into the ceremony to be shared with our loved ones.
    Scott captivated our guests with his amazing story-like sermon. He incorporated significant aspects of our lives in such a way that it captured the very essence of why we were standing before each other. Our sincerest gratitude for making our day so special! You were the clear choice all the way and any couple would be blessed to have you.

    Scott is superb! He's a great guy who really helped make everything easy and put us at ease.

    Our ceremony was absolutely perfect and Scott imparted the best kind of energy, emotion, and presence. He also came to our rehearsal and that really helped us build our confidence. Stellar guy!

    Quit reading reviews and book with him already!

    Scott was absolutely amazing at officiating our wedding! My husband and I could not have been more happy with someone who helped to create such a beautiful and memorable wedding ceremony. Honestly, from our first and initial meeting with Scott, we had such a positive vibe from him we decided to stop looking and just book him. He provided everything for us for the ceremony with the freedom to truly make it our very own. Our love story was beautifully told, he was easy to communicate with, his rate was reasonable, and our guests enjoyed listening to him. You wiuldn’t believe the many positive feedback we got from our guests! At the end of the wedding, Scott even took our marriage license app to the county so that we didn’t have to do it. That was so convenient for us considering we were leaving for our honeymoon almost right after the wedding.

    We even had traditions incorporated in our ceremony that he was already familiar with. Our family members who were told last minute that had participation did not even have to worry about not knowing what to do because Scott had incorporated the instructions so casually and fluidly in the script.

    Scott has our highest recommendation. Thank you Scott so much. From the bottom of Khris’s and my hearts, THANK YOU!

    Working with Pastor Scott was so easy and comforting. He made every step a breeze, and walked us through the whole process personalizing our ceremony just for us! Our wedding ceremony was everything I had hoped it be and more I’m so happy he was able to officiate.

    Can't say enough amazing things about Scott! He made the process extremely smooth and simple. Scott was prepared with so many options and tips for our ceremony, all we had to do was pick and choose from a menu of items. Many of our guests were impressed by Scott and had nothing but great things to say. He made our ceremony memorable and unique to our story.

    One of the things i'll always remember - we had an outdoor ceremony and there were a couple of pesky flies hovering around Scott's face. A few times, there were flies that landed on his noes, lips, forehead. He continued officiating like they weren't even there! What a pro. He also conducted our meal prayer before our reception dinner when we had asked him last minute.

    Go with Scott, he's your man!

    Scott was excellent! Not only was he a true professional, but really set the tone for the ceremony we wanted. He told our story in a way that invited our guests to really know how we feel about each other. He took us all back to how we first met, to celebrating our ceremony. We also wanted to also honor our parents and share the celebration with them as we were married in between each of our parents anniversaries. He was able to incorporate that into the ceremony and acknowledged how their long marriages each set up great examples for us. Thank you again Scott! ~Grace & Jimmy Verga

    Scott was the best Pastor we could have asked for. He executed every detail of our ceremony perfectly. He will lead you through developing the perfect outline for you and your guest. He is extremely professional and well prepared to customize your ceremony. We had a couple of special requests such as having our friends and families pray over us and he worked that into the ceremony brilliantly. Our guest could not stop talking about how intimate and emotional our wedding was. That’s a testament to Scott understanding our vision and helping deliver a beautiful loving moment. You can see on his face he loves people and loves marrying people. Thank you Scott from the bottom of our hearts!

    My husband and I can't say enough great things about Scott. We didn't meet him until the day of our wedding. We had one brief teleconference with him and yet our ceremony was the most personalized service ever! We received many compliments from our guests on how wonderful the service was and were blown away to find out we never met him prior to. The compliments weren't just humoring us either, they came out of their way to tell us about what they loved about it. Many further shared it was the best ceremony they had seen in years. Our guests laughed and cried, even the toughest of the bunch had watery eyes! Thank you Scott for making our day one to be remembered with a smile!

    Pastor Scott is a good listener and was able to help us prior to our wedding as well. He was compassionate and insightful about marriage and relationships. We loved every part of our wedding especially our vows. Pastor Scott made it easy and personable. He shared our stories and love for one another in our wedding in a way that was special. Thank you Pastor Scott!

    My husband and I had an amazing experience with Pastor Scott Kirk. From the moment we met, we felt comfortable and relaxed around him. Scott took the time to get to know both of us and learn details about our relationship. All the requests that we made were delivered professionally and went beyond what we asked for. We were unsure if we wanted a funny officiant or sentimental one. We were lucky to find out that Scott was a bit of both. He was the perfect balance between keeping our guests entertained but not letting everyone forget about the sentiment behind what this day was about. We can't thank him enough for helping making our wedding the best day of our lives.

    Wonderful, personal wedding pastor!

    Scott really made our day feel special. It was a unique ceremony mixed with traditional and personal touches. We love that he took the time to really get to know us and also work with us on building a successful marriage. I highly recommend Scott of you want to build a strong foundation and have a very personal ceremony. Not cookie cutter and not just someone that goes through the motions of a wedding.
