Best officant ever

Pastor Bob was the best and so easy to work with! My husband and I did the PMC (premarital counseling) prior to our wedding and we got to know Pastor Bob and he got to know us well prior to officiating our wedding, which was very important to us! We would recommend Pastor Bob at First Coast Ceremonies to anyone looking for a great officiant!!

Pastor Bob is THE BEST!!!

Pastor Bob is THE BEST! He is so friendly, professional, and truly loves what he does. He makes the biggest effort to get to know you and your future spouse, and allows you to have creative freedom with how you want your ceremony to go. We wanted a more religious ceremony, and he NAILED IT!! We had nothing but amazing compliments all night long about how beautiful our ceremony was and how incredible he is. By far the greatest decision we made in the wedding planning process. Everyone deserves someone like Pastor Bob to marry them!!!
