    Wes the Best!

    Wes did a fantastic job at our wedding! Our guests were very complimentary of him. He was prompt, kind, and took care of the marriage license paperwork for us afterwards. We would highly recommend him!

    Cool and caring wedding officiant

    Wes honestly made the process of getting married so simple! Wes was very flexible with our schedule, listened to our needs, and overall was just fantastic because of his genuine heart. We will forever be grateful about how our wedding was officiated with the utmost care from our friend Wes.

    A perfect wedding ceremony with Wes Howard

    My husband and I grew up in Nashville but don’t live there anymore, and didn’t have anyone in mind to marry us. Wes came highly recommended by our venue coordinators, and we are so happy that we chose him to officiate our wedding. The ceremony script Wes sent us to start with was perfect as-is, but he welcomed us to change it any way we wanted. Even when we added some untraditional aspects (including a line of support by the families instead of giving away the bride, traditional vows followed by our own vows, and a wine box ceremony), Wes took them in stride and recited them confidently as if they were part of every ceremony he performs! He got to our venue early and met with us right before the ceremony to go over come cues so we wouldn’t be nervous, and even stepped out of the way during important parts of the ceremony to make our photographs completely perfect without us asking. He is a wonderful officiant and captivating speaker and we can’t recommend him enough!!

    Personable & Likeable

    Wes was amazing! He was easy to work with, easy to talk to, reliable, fulfilled all of our needs AND MORE. 17 minute personal ceremony and so many of our guests mentioned how amazing he was! I highly recommend. There are not many things at a wedding that are worth the money (like flowers, smh) but Wes was worth every penny!!

    Perfect ceremony

    Wes welcomed the large group (200) and made everyone feel a part of the ceremony. Very personalized and tailored to meet the personality of the couple and their ceremony vision. Engaging, funny, and relevant. Awesome ceremony! Highly recommend.

    Great Officiant!

    Wes was the officiant at my daughter's wedding in Nashville in December, 2018. I can't say enough about him. He truly made the ceremony absolutely beautiful! Wes met with them a few times prior to the wedding and therefore was able to make everything so personal. His words were so moving and meaningful. He has a great personality and it really showed through. He was mindful of telling people to stand as the bride came in and when to sit etc. Everything went perfectly because of Wes! I would highly recommend him. He is one of the nicest people you could ever meet.

    Amazing Officiant!

    Wes was amazing! He made the entire ceremony planning process super easy and convenient. He's extremely flexible, knowledgeable, and just a fun guy with a great personality. Wes was able to make our ceremony uniquely ours, which was important to us! We received several compliments on Wes from our guests. I highly recommend!

    Wes was perfect!

    Not only was Wes the perfect choice for our ceremony, he’s an amazing person that will hopefully become a lifelong friend. He took the time to meet with us and get to know us and our family. He asked questions and he delivered a beautiful message. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house during our ceremony.

    Wes is absolutely hands down the best officiant I have ever witnessed do a ceremony. I’m so happy he was able to officiate our wedding! A little background... my fiancé and I had booked another officiant who told us on the day of our wedding he was having health problems and couldn’t make it. One of my bridesmaids knew Wes and reached out to him and by the grace of God he was available as he has very limited availability because he’s very popular and THAT GOOD! He took us individually aside on our wedding day, took time to get to know us on the fly and run us down the ceremony. When I met him it felt like I’d know him for years! He’s the type of guy you like immediately and want to be friends with! Everyone at our reception commented on how intimate the ceremony was and how warm, welcoming, and fun Wes was! No one even knew that we had an unexpected last minute officiant change! On top that, it began to down pour in the middle of the ceremony and our party and guests had to run under the tent to finish it and just completely NAILED it. Never skipped a beat. Wes you absolutely made our ceremony so memorable and perfect! Thanks for everything!

    Wes was very easy to with, laid back, and helped us relax and calm down on our big day. When we were nervous about everything else, we were confident about our vowels and Wes conveying the messages that meant a lot to us, and he did an amazing job bringing everything together!!!! We are so grateful to have found him!

    I can’t say enough great things about Wes! He officiated our wedding and was so great! He was extremely professional but also brought so much personality to our ceremony that we loved! We received compliments on our ceremony from everyone from religious grandparents to younger friends and family! Although we had only met with Wes a couple times before the wedding, you would have thought he was a long time friend that knew us well! We also loved the fact that he had a ceremony script prepared that we could read and edit in advance to make it our own. I highly recommend Wes for your wedding ceremony!

    We loved having Wes officiate our wedding. We got to know him having met with him a few times before the wedding, which we thought was awesome. It helped us build that bond you want with the person who's going to marry you. Not only did he drive all the way from Nashville to Chattanooga for the wedding, but he also helped us create a beautiful, personal ceremony. There were a lot of tears in the house that evening. I received several compliments on Wes and the job he did! I can't give him a higher recommendation!

    Wes made our day so special! He was easy to work with and we really enjoyed our meetings before our wedding to get to know him. He listened to what we wanted for our ceremony and made sure it was perfect for us. His flexibility and attention to detail made our ceremony so special. We highly recommend him as your officiant!

    Wes was a wonderful officiant; we could not have asked for any better! He is a great combination of down to earth and professional. We started with a standard wedding ceremony script and Wes worked with us to make all the changes that we wanted down to the tiniest detail. We then talked with him to add some anecdotes to personalize the script even more. We received multiple compliments from our guests about how great he was and how he made the ceremony that much better. Highly Recommend!

    My husband and I are so pleased with our decision to have Wes marry us. We live in Virginia so were not able to meet him in person, so we met him months before the wedding via Skype, because of the distance. Even after meeting him, he did not pressure us to choose him, even after we met. We knew right away he would be great! And he was. He got to know us before the wedding, and gave us some practical advice about TN marriage laws and meaningful marriage advice. He made planning the wedding from afar super easy and painless. He had a template that we could work with and modify to fit how we wanted the ceremony to take place. At the ceremony, Wes made us feel relaxed right away. He gave us the exact ceremony we were looking for: short and sweet. We are happy to have had Wes be a part of our big day! We highly recommend him to anyone getting married!

    Wes did a fantastic job with our wedding ceremony! We wanted a very simple ceremony, and let him know that from the beginning. He was organized and professional! We will totally recommend him to any friends or family looking for a great officiant!

    My husband and I decided to have a destination wedding in Nashville. The only problem with a destination wedding is that we did not know any pastors in the area that were able to officiate our ceremony. We were connected with Wes through our planner and I could not be more pleased with his services. It was so important to me that our ceremony be personal, special, spiritual, and God-focused so I was nervous about having a "stranger" officiate it. Wes took this to heart and after meeting with him, I no longer considered him a "stranger". He went out of his way to get to know us, understand our relationship, and bless us with his gift of anointing our nuptials with the spirit and Word of God. Our ceremony was everything I could have hoped it would be and Wes will forever be a part of our memories and most special day. Thank you, Wes!

    Wes was truly a God send. My husband and I are not from Nashville which made planning a wedding there all the more stressful. Wes came highly recommended from our venue and was willing to facetime with us to get to know us. Once we visited Nashville to finalize things, he worked around our schedule to met with us.

    Not only did he do a beautiful job at the wedding, he sent us a transcripts of word for word what he was going to say way in advance to see if there was anything we wanted to edit. All of our guests raved about how great the pastor was. He was funny at times and serious when needed. My favorite compliments were that everyone thought that he had known us for years. You would be lucky to have him!

    Wes is a wonderful choice when looking for a wedding officiant. He is a great public speaker and very thoughtful when it comes to the big day. He pays attention to the little details (like making sure he's not in the kiss photo shot) and kept me and my wedding party on track throughout the rehearsal.

    He allowed my husband and I to really customize our ceremony to our liking and had our guests cracking up. He is professional and will go above and beyond for his clients. Wes also gives great marriage advice and I know he will continue to be a part of our lives for a long time.

    Wes was great! We already had our wedding date picked when we had contacted him and unfortunately someone else already had the date :( BUT Wes let us know he could fit us in depending on the time and luckily the time worked. We were able to meet with him a couple times to setup how we wanted the ceremony to read - we liked him so much from just these sessions we went ahead and recommended him to our friends. Our Wedding day was seamless and we got ALOT of compliments after about Wes! Can’t thank Wes enough for officiating our big day.
