    He did an amazing job!

    I emailed back and forth with him. We talked over the phone and the day of the wedding he did a great job! The service was short like we wanted and he added a little bit of humor to get the crowd involved! The ceremony was the first time I met him in person because I had a winter weather so unfortunately I couldn't really have a rehearsal but when I met him during the ceremony I felt at ease and comfortable! I was very impressed and happy! I would definitely recommend him!

    Beautiful Ceremony

    Working with Pastor Chris as our officiant was the best decision for our wedding!

    We wanted a Pastor to marry us, but I had some anxiety about choosing the right one due to some family pressures. The first conversation with Pastor Chris really set me at ease. He assured me that he was there for us and it was our wedding day. He walked us through his process and we knew we had the right person! He really aligned with our values.

    He sent us some reading and vow options to review and go over, but he gave us the flexibility to choose whatever we wanted.

    We had a call to talk through everything with him and he walked us through the day and any thing we needed to be aware of. He really went above and beyond and checked in with us throughout the process to see if we just needed to talk. He knows wedding planning can be very stressful and he wanted to make sure we were feeling good and confident. This was so thoughtful!

    On the day of our wedding, the ceremony was exactly what we wanted. It was light and fun. He joked with our guests. It was deeply special with the readings and the prayers. It's been weeks after our wedding and people are still saying how special our ceremony. Thank you so much Pastor Chris for a fantastic experience and for helping to make our day so so special.

    Pastor Chris

    Pastor Chris was excellent! He was very quick to respond and extremely open to meet with us as often as we needed. Pastor Chris was open to all of our personal thoughts/ideas and very respectful when offering his own insights. We would certainly recommend him to any couple!

    Weddings and Ceremonies with Pastor Chris's reply:

    Patrick and Abbey were a wonderful couple to meet with and work with. I was grateful to spend time with them and get to know them. they had some ideas about how they wanted their day to go, and I was happy to work with them to incorporate their concepts. and the end product was a wonderful ceremony and a beautiful day demonstrating love and community.

    It was a great day to get married!

    Pastor Chris was outstanding! He did everything to make out lives easier through this entire process. Prior to the wedding, he checked in with us multiple times. He explained the process in great detail, and was so easy to work with! The day of the wedding, he could sense that the nerves were setting in and he reminded my now husband and I to breathe multiple times (LOL)! His kindness and compassion were unmatched. I, without a doubt, would recommend him to any couple getting married!

    Weddings and Ceremonies with Pastor Chris's reply:

    These two picked a wonderful place to have the ceremony and reception. They were open to suggestions, and they were flexible on some of the details. I am honored that I was able to journey with them through this process of planning and executing their wedding day.

    Fabulous Day-Our wedding Day!

    If I could give pastor Chris 10 stars I would! He was great, he worked with us and made sure our wedding day was perfect. He did everything he could to attended rehearsal the day prior to our wedding, which made our lives so much easier for our ceremony! He was great, walked us through everything, read a couple readings that he recommended. Was amazing, I’m so glad we picked pastor Chris to be there for our big day! ❤️

    Weddings and Ceremonies with Pastor Chris's reply:

    there were a few nerves during the rehearsal and leading up to the wedding ceremony. I was glad to be able to spend some time getting them to focus on the ceremony and encouraging them to treasure and enjoy the wedding day.

    Our Wedding 09/23/23

    Pastor Chris was great! Guests raved about how lovely the ceremony was - intimate, special, and a little humor sprinkled in! It's very easy to feel stiff and nervous with everyone staring at you, but Pastor Chris helped the nerves slip away so that we were able to enjoy it

    Simply, a wonderful couple to work with. they made it very personalized and constructed it to be a special event. I was glad that I could be part of their wedding day. Congratulations!

    Our wonderful wedding day!

    Pastor Chris was absolutely amazing! He worked with us before the wedding to ensure we were getting the type of ceremony we wanted. The day of our wedding he was absolutely marvelous keeping the ceremony light and interactive and even threw in a couple of jokes which was perfect for us! He made the day even more special than we anticipated.

    Weddings and Ceremonies with Pastor Chris's reply:

    I enjoyed working with this couple. They were able to voice their concerns about expectations on the ceremony. We sat down and discussed what sort of day they wanted to experience and have people participate in. Plans were made to have the day run as the couple wished, and it went very smoothly.

    Pastor Chris is the best!

    My husband and I recently got married in July, and one of the best parts of our day was Pastor Chris. He made such a nerve-racking time during the ceremony a breeze. He made my husband and I feel comfortable from start to finish. The planning process was simple, and Pastor Chris was always willing to answer any questions. We cannot recommend Pastor Chris enough!

    Weddings and Ceremonies with Pastor Chris's reply:

    I was happy to work this couple. They had hopes and dreams for their day and through the planning process, the ceremony incorporated how they envisioned the day. It was wonderful to work with them. All the best to you!

    Definition of Humble and Empathy, Someone You Can Rely On.

    We deeply appreciated Pastor Chris. Our ceremony went smoothly thanks to his support and professionalism. A truly humble and empathetic person who helped us along our wedding planning journey. We had to postpone our wedding for a year, and he never fails to stop communicating with us to ask how we are faring. Even when things gets emotional, he was always comforting, calm and got us through the ceremony effortlessly. When we felt overwhelmed or unsure about the ceremony processional order, he was patient and explained the process exceptionally. It didn't feel like a business transaction, but a man of God, father, brother, and friend...who was present, to pronounce us as married.

    Weddings and Ceremonies with Pastor Chris's reply:

    Tiffany and Steven are an awesome couple. They have a story that has led them through difficult times, but they have emerged through medical issues and stress stronger together. And I have to say, they had some of the most powerful and emotional personal vows I have ever heard. Peace and Blessings to them on their journey together

    So Happy that our day went so well!

    My husband and I couldn't recommend Pastor Chris enough. We didn't live nearby and we weren't able to meet a lot in person and mostly talk via phone and still Pastor Chris was there for us every step of the way. He was always checking in and being that reminder to not let outside stressors make us forget about what the main focus was and that was us getting married to each-other. He listened to what we wanted and would give suggestions when asked (which was a lot) and never judged on anything we wanted for our ceremony. During the ceremony, he said beautiful words and added a little bit of comedy which we really liked. I also was shaking & sweating because of how nervous I was and Pastor Chris looked at me and said if you need a moment take a moment! Remember-It's your wedding, take your time. That reminder was all I needed, I wiped my palms, took a deep breath and immediately felt better. He made us both feel at ease during the whole process and during and we appreciated all that he did for us. I am so glad we found him and he accepted marrying us. THANK YOU!!!

    Weddings and Ceremonies with Pastor Chris's reply:

    Kevin and Tara were a great couple to work with. They picked a wonderful location, and I was able to experience a first as an officiant, a falcon/hawk which flew the rings symbolically into the ceremony. thanks for letting me be a part of your special day.

    Thankful for Support

    Words cannot describe how thankful we were to have Chris guiding us through this experience. From the beginning of our engagement, until the day of our marriage, Chris supported us wholeheartedly. He kept a calm demeanor and knew how to assist us in managing challenges along the way. The ceremony itself was thoughtfully created and many guests remarked at how engaging he was. Thank you Chris!

    Weddings and Ceremonies with Pastor Chris's reply:

    Ben and Lauren were very conscious of the details to address, in the planning and execution of their wedding day. They were clear in the areas that they were looking for ideas and suggestions. All of their efforts paid off to turn their special day into a great wedding celebration.

    our review of the wedding ceremony

    Thank you for being so supportive and easy to work with. We wanted a simple, small wedding in a beautiful God given landscape and you helped us achieve our vision. It was almost like a dream, the weather was so beautiful and surreal (In fact we enjoyed it so much we are both still at the wedding in our mind weeks later) :) we will never forget how special this ceremony was for us. You delivered each request we asked for. You gave us insight and suggestions we hadn’t thought of that helped us along the way. (though a zoom call and few emails we all nailed it)

    Weddings and Ceremonies with Pastor Chris's reply:

    This was a successful wedding ceremony process, in spite of the long distance between myself and the couple. They were clear on what were the themes they wanted as the day occured. I gave them some suggestions which they were open to, but it was very simple and straightforward. It was a day of love, and a great day for their wedding.

    Our wonderful day!

    Pastor Chris was absolutely amazing! He made our ceremony unique and truly personalized it to us as a couple! He was readily available through the planning process, was timely on wedding, and handled all the paperwork afterwards. Honestly could not have asked for more!

    4/15/2023 Our wonderful day

    Pastor Chris is literally the best. He was with us throughout the whole process and always reminded us that our wedding day is about us and no one else. When a family member died a few months before the wedding Pastor Chris worked with us to come up with a beautiful way to honor this person during our ceremony. He was funny and our guests loved him. He made the ceremony really feel like a community event. We loved having him as our Pastor and highly recommend him!

    Weddings and Ceremonies with Pastor Chris's reply:

    Jennifer and Sumit were very clear about the themes and messages of this day of celebration. They were very easy to work with. And they had some of the best personalized vows I have heard in some time.

    Pastor Chris was the constant calm in our planning

    We just planned a wedding in roughly 100 days. As you can imagine this was a massive undertaking. Pastor Chris was amazingly calm and collected the entire time. He helped up set up the entire ceremony and his typical ceremony included everything we wanted. He also helped us to add all of our own touches to the ceremony that made it even more special. I could not recommend him more.

    Weddings and Ceremonies with Pastor Chris's reply:

    Zach and Angela are a very kind and gracious couple. I was very honored to work with them. they found a lovely location to get married, and the ceremony went very well. Best wishes to these two!

    Completely fantastic

    Pastor Chris was beyond amazing! He prioritized us & made sure that no matter what, we did what WE wanted for our big day, all the while keeping our nerves as calm as possible. He is the perfect combination of a calming presence when you need one, and the “big brother” that will lay down the law if any of your guests Or family need a talking to. He was always very responsive the entire way through the planning process & was punctual when we met to go over things. We really couldn’t have asked for a better officiant for our wedding, which went beautifully, I might add! We highly recommend him :)

    Weddings and Ceremonies with Pastor Chris's reply:

    Annie and Ben were wonderful to work with, open to suggestions and perspectives. Their excitement for the day helped make this a wonderful experience, planning and working with them, and then officiating on their special day. All the best to them!

    The Best!!

    My wife and I decided to look on weddingwire for our officiant. We were cutting it close a bit and saw Pastor Chris on here. We had our first meeting in person, a few weeks before the wedding, and we learned that he was a fantastic person. He made it a point to remind us that it was our day. He did a great job of making things go the way we wanted it to, and provided excellent suggestions based on what we were looking for. He made sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves through this whole process. He is such a kind and thoughtful person. He is exactly the person you would want to help you on your special day! My wife and I are so incredibly thankful that we found Pastor Chris!

    Perfect Ceremony

    We found Pastor Chris online and we feel so lucky to have had him as our wedding officiant. He really took the time to get to know us via phone calls and was very flexible considering we were living multiple states away. He was always willing to talk to us and was very knowledgeable with the wedding ceremony process. Our ceremony was perfect!! Would definitely recommend Pastor Chris!!

    Weddings and Ceremonies with Pastor Chris's reply:

    Wonderful Pastor

    We found Pastor Chris though wedding wire. We wanted to have an interfaith ceremony representing both myself and my now husband's faiths. From the beginning, Pastor Chris went over the setup of what our ceremony could look like. We had complete control over what we wanted from the passages we wanted read, to the unity candle we wanted, to the vows. We spend a few sessions talking with him and getting to know him and he shared his knowledge of how things would work for the type of ceremony we wanted. He was very flexible and helpful answering our many questions. He even came to our rehearsal so we could make sure everything was ready for the next day. Overall we really appreciated his help and would highly recommend him as an officiant for your wedding!

    It was a joy to work with this couple incorporating their viewpoints on faith and love into the wedding ceremony. They had ideas and aspects that could be incorporated in the service itself. I enjoyed working with them.

    Would recommend

    Leading up to the wedding, Pastor Chris was professional and prompt, always making sure to answer any questions we had quickly. He met with us beforehand to go over everything as well. The ceremony itself was perfect, short and sweet just like we wanted but he was also personable and funny. Overall I would absolutely recommend Pastor Chris!
