    Sam is incredible. I honestly couldn’t have imagined having anyone else marry my husband and I. He made our ceremony so special and heartfelt. Sam stands above the rest.

    Best Officiant in Central FL

    If you're looking for a customized, personal, and genuine experience, look no further. Sam is incredibly professional and goes above and beyond with nailing the details and tailoring your ceremony to how you want it to be. He is hands down the best officiant out there, and I'm so happy he was part of our wedding. Our guests were blown away by his performance and story-telling. Thank you for making our ceremony so magical!!

    Have Sam officiate your wedding!

    Our family and friends loved the way Sam officiated our wedding. Sam put in so much thought and detail in being able to tell our story as a couple. There was laughter, tears of joy and smiles all around. Everything he wrote captured our journey perfectly and he presented it so beautifully. He made us feel comfortable and even helped guide us throughout the marriage license process (as we were an out of state couple). If you want your ceremony to be memorable, unique and personalized, hire Sam!

    You’ll be so happy you hired Sam!

    We decided we wanted to hire a professional, but also worried that our officiant wouldn’t make a ceremony that felt like us. All those worries went away with Sam!! Sam was so kind, so communicative, helped us with our vows, and delivered the most beautiful ceremony. He spent time with us doing a workshop to go through each step and we had him rehearse with us which was so helpful to ease wedding day jitters. We are so happy we had Sam marry us! Thank you so so much, Sam!

    Perfect Fit

    Sam was an amazing officiant and really set the tone for our wedding. Hearing him speak on our phone call prior to the wedding we knew we had made a great choice. He has a way of pulling you in with his words and really engaging your guests. Couldn’t have imagined a better choice for an officiant!

    Above and beyond expectation

    We simply have no words for how amazing Sam was. He literally went above and beyond with his service. He made sure to tailor the ceremony to exactly how we wanted it and added his flair to it while still making it about us. He takes great care into asking us about our relationship, details, type of involvement, other vendors and helps in as much as he can. All I can say is that hiring Sam was literally the best decision we could have made. Our guest even spoke to how amazing his service was. Thank you so much Sam

    Personality, intimacy and love! Top 3 words

    Sam was nothing short of amazing! He was so easy to work with and really helped us to understand his plan and vision. Sam added a touch of personality, intimacy and love to our ceremony. There were times where we worried people would be bored waiting and Sam really managed to keep everyone engaged. For the ceremony we didn’t want anything too religious and we didn’t want something too short. His words were so loved by the wedding party, friends and family have asked me for printouts! He really brings such a strong sense of romance, professionalism and love with him. Our day would not have been the same without Sam.

    A great officiant MAKES the ceremony

    years, the depth of our love and connection, and the promise we’re making to one another. We could’ve been standing in the middle of the field wearing trash bags but the homework you gave us, the story that you shared, and the way that YOU tell it would have made our celebration every bit as magical as this one was! We’re FOREVER thankful that YOU married us and helped us become the official Mr. and Mrs. Ritchey Beegle.🥰

    Sam's wedding

    Best Addition to ANY Wedding

    When we first started looking for officiants, we were not super picky - after all, most of the weddings we had gone to, it just seemed that the officiant was reading a beautiful (but generic) script, and putting all the attention onto the couple. This being our expectation, we were blown away by the services that Sam provided for our extremely special day. We had two phone calls with Sam, and it was immediately apparent in the first one that he was the one who had to lead our marriage, no exceptions. On the second call, he got to know us more, and it felt more like an hour of "hanging out" with a friend than discussing details for the most stressful day of your coming months. On the day of the wedding, we, and all our guests, were awestruck with the completely personalized, funny-yet-sweet, bridal-party-comments-included, ceremony that Sam had written up. If there was any vendor we previously under-appreciated and received way more than we deserved, it was because we booked Sam to be our officiant on the best day of our lives. LOOK NO FURTHER, SAM'S YOUR MAN!

    THE Officiant to Hire

    Our ceremony was what I was looking forward to the most and when Sam got up there and told our story, I was in awe of how eloquently he did. He was such a pleasure to work with and such a kind soul. If you want your guests to feel like they are part of your story, Sam is your guy. He made our ceremony feel romantic and intimate even though we had 75 guests. Thank you Sam for making our day even more special.

    The absolute best

    Sam was an absolute pleasure to work with! He was so sweet, funny, and everyone has been telling me how much they loved the ceremony and Sam! He was exactly what we were looking for in an officiant! He answered all questions we had before we even asked them! The ceremony was short, sweet and so meaningful. He took the time to reach out to family and friends to gather information about us. And he stepped out of the kiss shot without being told or reminded! I cannot express just how absolutely amazing Sam made our ceremony!

    Lindsey, Thanks so much for taking the time to share this review! I', so grateful for the honor of being your officiant. Here's to you and Michelle!

    Awesome, Sweet, Peaceful, Personable

    I hired Sam for my clients who got married, here's what the groom himself said about Sam:

    "Thank you Sam for the work you did. My wife and I are so grateful that you were able to officiate our wedding (even on a short notice).

    You did an excellent job incorporating our responses to the survey in your speech which made service feel more personal. My mom even said "it feels like he knew you guys for a while" lol. You were easy to talk to and fun (always ready to dance 😆).

    Thank you for what you do. If anyone is thinking about using Sam as your officiant; just do it. You will not regret it!"

    Sam brings peace and genuine love with him when he comes. Thank you so much Sam!

    Weddings by Sam's reply:

    Creisson, Thank you for sharing this! It was an absolute pleasure working with you as the officiant for Christelle & Salem. And yes, it was a blast dancing and celebrating with you all! I may not be the best dancer, but I'm willing. :) Much happiness to Christelle & Salem!

    Best Officiant!!

    Sam was the best officiant ever!! He made our ceremony so beautiful and memorable. On top of that he was so easy to work with and made the process as smooth as possible. I loved the questionnaire and it was so touching to hear the things my partner wrote about me

    Absolutely Incredible!

    Sam was our officiant for my wedding last weekend and all I can say is wow!! My husband and I were blown away with the clear time and dedication that Sam put towards what he said during our ceremony. He asked us questions through a google form before the wedding, and then wove our answers into a beautiful tale that portrayed our story so well! The ceremony was the absolute perfect length of time too. Sam grabbed the attention of the audience and spoke so well that it took all the nerves of the ceremony away for me, which was a big deal. He was also totally accepting of our two live owls that were the ring bearers for our wedding, lol!
    Sam is professional, fun, a great communicator, and extremely helpful answering any and all questions we had regarding our marrige license application process. I could not recommend him highly enough!!

    Nicole thank you so much! I have great memories of your wedding and Leo & Maya! I'll always remember the moments with you both, I'm so happy to have been your officiant!

    Honest Review from a Vendor

    I have worked alongside Sam on a couple of occasions and every time it was amazing.
    He is a true pro and is a delight to work with.
    For me, as a videographer I want an officiant who will not only deliver their lines correctly but is fluent and great at public speaking.
    Sam is all those things plus more.
    His ceremonies are fun and relaxed while keeping it very professional.
    If I could give 6 stars I would!

    Personal and Unique wedding ceremony!! WE LOVE SAM!

    I can not even begin to explain how special Sam made our ceremony! He is phenomenal!! He made us the most personalized wedding ceremony I could have ever dreamed of! We laughed and cried throughout our entire ceremony and so did our guests. He will include personal details about your relationship into the ceremony that makes your ceremony unique and enjoyable. If you do not want the typical boring wedding ceremony and you want something more unique, memorable, and beautiful than you MUST hire Sam!!!!!

    The Best Choice!

    I did a lot of research for a wedding officiant, and the moment I watched one of Sam's videos, I knew he was the officiant for us. My husband and I wanted a ceremony that was non-religious but still meaningful and personal. Through our communications with Sam, he came up with the perfect script for our wedding. Sam is so well-spoken, warm and genuine. Our ceremony was beautiful, heart-felt, light, and perfectly personal and we received so many compliments from our wedding guests. Hiring Sam was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Thank you, Sam!

    Amazing!

    Sam was the BEST. He was recommended to us by our wedding planner, Amanda Jayne Weddings. He truly made our ceremony so personal and we could not have asked for anything more. We had so many guests comment on how amazing the ceremony was, and how great Sam was. Seriously, book him now!
