    10 out of 10!!

    Will did an awesome job officiating our ceremony! From the very beginning, he made the process comfortable and easy for us. Most of the guests thought Will was a personal friend of ours because of his ability to connect with the room and make our ceremony one of a kind. If you are thinking about using Will as your officiant, don't hesitate!

    We Love Will!

    Will was the perfect officiant for our wedding. He took all of our thoughts and random words and put them together into the perfect ceremony. We couldn't have asked for a better person to marry us.

    We loved having Will as our officiant

    We had the best time having Will as our officiant on September 22, 2018! With all the stresses of Hurricane Florence and the 5 acre cleanup and delayed marriage licenses, he kept his cool and therefore helped us keep ours. He was early for the ceremony which gave him time to walk around and take it all in. He was respectful to our family and us and he delivered the ceremony naturally and as planned. We were happy to have found him and would recommend him in a heartbeat to anyone looking for an officiant. Having been in this industry for several years, he also had great referrals!

    Will was our officiant on 6/24/18. It is sincerely hard to put into words how extremely blessed we both feel that he was part of our special day! He was absolutely AMAZING!!! His "easy-going" demeanor, openness, and willingness to work with us (and our requests of how we wanted our ceremony to be ) was so calming from the very first time we spoke to him to our wedding day. He answered all of our questions (via email, text, or phone) quickly and even volunteered to make sure that all others involved with our wedding (director, photographer, etc.) were on the "same page" and understood our desires. He is VERY personable and was one of the "hits" of our wedding. Our entire wedding party (family and friends) were so very complimentary of how he conducted the ceremony, as well as how he interacted with each of them. We both walked away from our wedding day feeling that we had not just hired an officiant... but more so gained a friend. We would recommend Will to anyone that was in need of an officiant, especially to those couples that want to make their wedding "their own" !

    Will was such a big help to us getting ready for the wedding. When we decided to write the ceremony ourselves, he sent samples to help us get started. He helped us polish what we put together, and he delivered the final script beautifully!

    Will was one of the best parts of our wedding! He was such a help with composing the ceremony beforehand and e-mailed me various examples of other ceremonies so that my now-husband and I were able to tailor ours to fit our personalities. Will is very friendly has a real gift for public speaking! We received many compliments what was said during our ceremony as well as being able to hear our officiant clearly! I highly recommend Will for whatever kind of ceremony you desire. Will is very accommodating.

    YOU WOULD BE INSANE NOT TO HIRE HIM!!!! He is the best!!! My husband and I had no doubts when we met him. Perfect speaking voice and super friendly. It's hard to explain but he was made for this business!!! He was extremely helpful on setting up the ceremony wording etc and will work with any type of ceremony vibe you are looking for... and the best perk is the awesome beard ( had to throw in there )

    Will went above and beyond our expectations for an officiant. He emailed my now husband and I various examples and copies of other ceremonies so we were able to piece together ours exactly the way we wanted it. Will was easy to contact, professional, and very reliable- all very important things while dealing with a very flustered bride :] We would highly recommend Will for any ceremony (religious or nonreligious) a thousand times over. He made our wedding day just that much more perfect.

    Will was one of the best parts of our wedding! Beside the fact that he made us legally husband & wife, he was extremely creative in his suggestions for our ceremony and very open to our own unique ideas. He was great at keeping in touch with us from the first time we contacted him all the way until days after the wedding--and we first contacted him almost a year before our wedding day! In comparison to officiants we've seen at others' weddings, Will is the best in our book.

    Will was freaking amazing!! he helped us through the whole process on writing a ceremony and it honestly made it that much more special by coming up something that reflects who you are as a couple! With him having his awesome tattoos and his super cool beard put the icing in the cake!! He's such a down to earth person and would definitely recommend him to anyone!!

    Will was the absolute best officiant I think there ever was. Will met with my husband and I prior to the ceremony and helped walk us through the ceremony planning process to help us feel more comfortable. He took the time to get to know us as a couple and what our "story" was. After the first time I spoke to him on the phone, I felt like I had a new friend. He was so great at communicating and helping us with ideas and he just really made everything so easy. My hope for our ceremony was for it to be intimate, warm and unique and Will helped make that all happen. Of course we both were a little nervous standing up there in front of all of our guests but when Will started talking and helping us through our vows, we were completely at ease. I have never seen a person officiate a ceremony better and more warmly than Will did for us. I have had multiple guests tell me how perfect and warm our ceremony was and how much they loved our officiant. I am so thankful we found Will because I really think he made our ceremony perfect. Thank you Will!

    What a guy!!! We had a hiccup with our original officiant and found Will through WeddingWire and immediately knew he was the guy for the job!! Will was very prompt and professional with my endless emails and questions, and he did an amazing job at conducting our perfect ceremony! He made both my husband and I feel very calm and relaxed during the ceremony and constantly reminded us to "step back and take it all in"! Thank you again Will Poole:)

    Will Poole was the best we could have ever asked for! He was generous with his time & always offered ideas that we would have never thought on our own. He helped us create our own ceremony & write our own vows (which brought many people to tears). Our ceremony was enhanced a million ways by his presence, his personality meshed flawlessly with ours, & he was a delight to work with. Everyone needs a Will Poole Wedding! ♥

    Will was incredibly helpful, prompt, professional, and wonderful. He allowed for us to create a very unique ceremony along with helpful outlines. He was very professional and lovable during our ceremony, and put us both at ease. We had such a great experience! I don't think there is a better officiant out there.

    Will performed our wedding ceremony this July and if I could give him more than a 5 out of 5 rating I would!!! From the moment my now husband and I sat down to talk with Will to him pronouncing us husband and wife, Will was outstanding! He worked with us to create the ceremony we wanted and it was PERFECT!!! He took all our thoughts, feelings, readings and ideas and turned them all into the most beautiful and meaningful ceremony. He blended the modern with the traditional in such a seamless way and made our day everything we wanted it to be. He is the best!!!!

    Will was more than we ever could have hoped for in a wedding officiant! He was exceedingly generous with his time, and he helped us through every stage of crafting our perfect ceremony. His presence on the day of the wedding was calming, but not mundane--as he led us through the ceremony, we could tell he genuinely cared about taking part in the first moments of our marriage. We cannot recommend him highly enough!! Thank you, Will, for everything!!

    Will was simply the best man (besides the "best man") for the job. He was so willing and interested in getting to know us and work with us so we had an original ceremony that was full of love and everything we could have asked for. He even reviewed my vows, and was glad to take a look at every request or idea we sent him.

    You need this man for your wedding!!

    When my (now) husband and I met with Will, we had no idea where to even start. The first thing Will told us was "relax! It's your wedding and you can do it however you want and I am here to help you figure that out!" and what a breath of fresh air that was! He went over SEVERAL different types of ceremonies until we found the perfect one. He was patient, personable and understanding. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone!

    Will is personable, well-spoken, a great listener, and puts you completely at ease from the moment you meet him. Planning our ceremony couldn't have been a more pleasant experience and his presentation of that planning on our wedding day was absolutely perfect. Everyone who was at our wedding adored him. Choosing Will as our officiant was the best decision we could have made! Plus, his beard looks really cool in the pictures. :)
