A Wedding By The Sea

r daughter's wedding Hurricane Matthew devastated the Bluffton/Hilton Head area. Our daughter's wedding was not effected by the hurricane except that Mr. Schroeder and his family was displaced. We were very sympathetic to his situation and made other arrangements by the Monday after the hurricane. Long story short, this was a destination wedding for all except the bride and groom, so I wanted to take care of some monetary responsibilities early, I paid Mr. Schroeder in full more than 30 days before the wedding. When he could not officiate the wedding I gave him a couple weeks before I contacted him about getting our money back. He assured me I would. Almost a year and half later, after taking him to small claims and winning the judgement, after him being contacted by the Beaufort County Sheriff's Office, Mr. Charles Schroeder has not returned our money. I consider an officiant to be someone who should be trustworthy, as someone who is performing one of the more sacred milestones in life they should have a strong moral compass. Mr. Schroeder has lied to me, my husband and a County Sheriff's Deputy, as he told us ALL he would return our money. Maybe we are not the first he has sandbagged and took money for services he never performed.

couldn't have found a more perfect person for the event. He was witty, professional, and my guests said it was the best wedding they've ever attended. Book this guy!! He was absolutely awesome!

w I had made the right choice!
