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!
