    Great Ceremony - Short and Sweet

    Stephen was great to work with and made the process easy. I know we were both nervous with speaking but once in the moment all was fine. He worked with us to have simple and sweet ceremony that included some verses. I'd highly recommend any couple looking to get married to work with him!

    Stephen Palmer was simply AMAZING!!!! We wanted a beach wedding and Tybee Island is a beautiful destination and its home for me. Stephen helped me out every step of the way. When I contacted Stephen with questions or a request he always was quick to respond and answer any questions completely. The day of the wedding he kept everything light and fun which calmed our nerves and our ceremony was beautiful and on point. The price was great and his website is extremely helpful. I highly recommend Stephen Palmer Weddings and all of his services and assistance. One happy Bride! Thanks Stephen :-)

    Stephen did a wonderful job for our private ceremony on the beach. He has an easy going personality that is just perfect for the low key atmosphere of Tybee. He made us both feel incredibly comfortable and you can tell he genuinely loves what he does and cares for his clients. Steve is the kind of guy you just want to hang out with.

    Stephen - thank you so much for marrying us!

    Stephen was amazing throughout the entire experience. He is so funny and he made the environment relaxing as I was stressed because it rained. Although I was not able to get my beach wedding, I still got the wedding of my dreams. Stephen was professional and made the experience wonderful. Top notch service here! Thank you Stephen for making what could of been a stressful day turn into an amazing one. His photographer Shannon was also amazing and I LOVE my pictures! Thanks Stephen.

    Stephen Palmer officiated a friend's wedding and was absolutely wonderful. He was kind and compassionate, professional and punctual. I tried to get him to officiate my wedding, but he was booked by some other lucky bride!

    Stephen was awesome! We booked him last minute because our other officiant dropped out at the last minute. He was so fun and flexible. He asked us questions to better perform our wedding ceremony, and performed it perfectly!

    Thank you, Stephen, for not giving up hope during hurricane Irma and helping us have an amazingly beautiful wedding just three days after Tybee reopened after the hurricane! Thank you for all the work you did to groom the beach, for your happy spirit and great sense of humor! We are so glad you got to be a part of our big day!

    My husband and I wanted a special and fun vow renewal ceremony for our ten year anniversary and Mr. Palmer did an amazing job with officiating. It was personable, unique, and touching. We utilized his archway and chairs, too and everything was set up perfectly! Very impressed, highly recommend!

    My husband and I are from OH, and planned our destination wedding on Tybee Island in June 2017. Stephen Palmer officiated our wedding, and he was fantastic! He was very responsive, answered all of my questions, and put my mind at ease...especially since ours was a destination wedding. We loved his laid-back attitude and his incredible sense of humor. You wouldn't have guessed that we had never met him face-to-face until the day of our wedding! When it comes to renewing our vows in a few years, we will MOST definitely be contacting Stephen!

    Stephen Palmer is AMAZING! We knew we were going to marry, but for a plethora reasons, we just couldn't pin down a day. Suddenly, we had a day - a Friday. We had about five days to to make plans. I found Stephen Palmer at www.stephenpalmerweddings.com I read wonderful reviews about Stephen! I called him two days before our wedding day and he stepped right up and we set the day and time.

    We didn't have any family or friends close enough to attend our elopement ceremony, but he made our wedding day the most beautiful day of our lives. We had no idea we would be wed right on Tybee Beach! Stephen Palmer was warm, friendly, funny, sincere and professional. We had no photographer, so Stephen took precious pictures for us out of the kindness of his heart. It was a beautiful ceremony and we will never forget it, or Stephen Palmer. I highly recommend Stephen Palmer Weddings for your special day - Stephen Palmer is FANTASTIC!!!

    God bless,

    Craig & Rikki Fulford

    I would be hard pressed to recommend another individual to officiate a wedding! It was a pleasure to work with Stephen! If you want a beach wedding, Tybee Island is the place. You want to make it great, let Stephen set-up and officiate!

    My venue recommended Stephen as our officiant-- I was nervous at first having an officiant that we had never met before. But we were so thrilled with Stephen! He made us feel at ease before the ceremony. The ceremony was so personal, and he made it such a special experience for us. Stephen was also able to do a Celtic handfasting, which was important to us to include, and it turned out beautifully. All of our guests commented at how wonderful the ceremony was as well!

    I cannot begin to say how grateful we are to Stephen! We live out of town & hadn't had a ton of contact with him beforehand BUT, Stephen made our day exactly that; our day. He was incredibly kind & easy to work with. He was more than either me or my husband could have asked for. We decided at the last moment to include our kids in our ceremony & I'm so glad that we did. It made the day much more special than it already was. Our guests all had wonderful compliments for Stephen saying what a fabulous job he did in making our ceremony unique to "us". Couldn't be happier in our choosing him to perform our wedding ceremony for us.

    Stephen was amazing. We were a little nervous since we only met with him one time, but the ceremony was so personal and honest and we loved everything he said. He helped us get the beach permit and guided us in what needed to be done for the ceremony. The only issue was a miscommunication about the rehearsal and since he books very fast, he had a wedding the same time as the rehearsal we thought we had booked with him. He came to our site right after the other wedding and it worked out perfectly. He gave my husband (to-be) and I a pep-talk the night before the wedding that completely put us at ease and helped calm our nerves. He was great to work with and I would highly recommend him.
