Andrew was helpful to us in so many ways. We had no idea how to go about planning our ceremony. He took the time to walk us through the different elements and options. He was patient and supportive with us through many revisions and the final results were exactly what we wanted. I recommend him all the time to couple's we know who are getting married.

We hired Andrew as our officiant. He was professional at the beginning. We had a zoom call so he could get to know us and he helped us with our rehearsal. However, before our ceremony, he began drinking with my husband and his best men. Iâm not exactly sure why, but he had more than he could handle. I wouldnât have mind if he had too much during our reception but for some reason, before our ceremony, he got extremely drunk. He was slurring during our ceremony, mixed up âin the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.â, and had to lean against wedding decor to keep himself propped up. He even read the vows I was going to read to my future step-daughters. The entire ceremony was about him, not our union before God and our family. He then left immediately after the ceremony, not even giving us the signed marriage license. Thankfully he did mail it to the county. He also messaged us an apology and reimbursed us the $650 we paid him. However, this is now the memory I have of our wedding day. I am still working through these emotions. I wish I could do the day over.

Brittany,
Words are simply not enough to express my deep regret for my lapse in profession...
alism and the disruption of your wedding day. I cannot excuse the behavior and nor can I change your memories of your day. These things strike at the heart of what I try to do for each couple and I was a dismal failure for you at the most important moment. As a result, I did what I could to make amends including a full refund of all fees paid, and completion of the necessary documentation which I submitted to the clerk. I also attempted to communicate my most sincere apologies and regrets along with sending your refund. I assure you I feel as foolish as I must have looked and if I could do the day over I would do so.
As a result of your experience I have revised my policies to include abstaining from alcohol at any time during my involvement in the wedding rehearsal and ceremony. I will no longer be spending time outside of the scheduled events with wedding participants. I know this does nothing to correct what was done on your wedding day. Please know that I continue to be deeply sorry for how my actions impacted you, your family, and your wedding. If I can be of further assistance to you, please reach out directly.

There are not enough kind words I can share about Pastor Baskin! Having him to officiate our special day made it all the more special. Pastor Baskin is a person filled with grace and kindness. He is patient and works with the couple to truly create a special service. The words shared by him on our day we will carry with us forever. 10/10 recommend âşď¸

We loved having Andrew complete our premarital counseling and wedding ceremony! He was professional, flexible to fit our schedules, and we appreciated his insight and suggestions during our counseling sessions. The workbook he uses has wonderful tools for current and future situations. There are few things we go back to frequently and some we know we will need when life circumstances change. Andrew was a great resource during our rehearsal. He provided great suggestions on how to organize the ceremony and timelines. We will be recommending him to all our friends!

Andrew is amazing!! He went so above and beyond for our wedding ceremony and we could not have asked for a better officiant. He was very flexible and willing to meet us for dinner when searching for an officiant, and we immediately knew! He is very personable, professional, and a perfect addition to a wedding. Andrew handled our changing wedding plans due to COVID-19 like a champ, and was even willing to drive 8+ hours for our rehearsal and ceremony! We feel so blessed and thankful that we had such an incredible man marry us. I will recommend Andrew any chance I get!

Andrew was a wonderful part of our wedding day! We had an Indian Fusion wedding to be able incorporate both of our cultures and religious backgrounds. After being turned away from many Christian pastors to officiate a Christian ceremony that was part of an Indian fusion wedding, he was eager to help be a part of our day. Andrew is professional, Christian officiant who really helped to capture and honor my Christian background in our ceremony. The ceremony was beautifully written and we only had a few small changes that we added that were all incorporated. We loved having him officiate our day and would highly recommend him to anyone who is considering him. Thank you, Andrew!

Andrew is great! We decided to still move forward with our wedding during COVID but were in need of an officiant. We reached out to Andrew about 3 weeks before our wedding day - he responded right away and set up a FaceTime to "meet" us. We are thankful to have found Andrew - he is very responsive, friendly, and professional! Highly recommend.

Working with Charles was truly a wonderful experience. He really made sure to learn about who we were as a couple and the goals we had for our ceremony. He cared about our wedding day being something we would cherish and be happy to look back on for years to come. I could not be more grateful for Charles ensuring that we had a ceremony that demonstrated the goals we set for ourselves as a couple as well as making sure he found passages that reflected the teamwork we pride ourselves on as the foundation of our relationship. Thank you Charles for making our day something we will never forget and providing such a meaningful ceremony for us.

Andrew with covenant wedding officiant service was a pleasant surprise and made our ceremony memorable! When we met we gave him a quick bio and what we wanted him to speak about and about a week and a 1/2 later he sent us a review which we felt was exactly what we wanted. He was kind, punctual and prepared. Our ceremony was very important to us, bringing God as the center of our marriage and he really worked to make that happen for us. We highly recommend Andrew as he is professional and a pleasure to work with!

My wife and I were so blessed to have Andrew Baskin provide services during our wedding ceremony. He immediately put us as well as our guests at ease with his laid back, but professional delivery. It made our union that much more intimate and personal. We received many compliments on how beautiful and special the ceremony was by our guests. We cannot reccomend anyone more than Andrew for the job he performed at our wedding.
Thank you Andrew for blessing us with an outstanding ceremony. We will never forget our special day because of your contributions.

Andrew was fantastic on and before our wedding day! I was so blessed to come across Andrew only 6 weeks before our wedding and found him to be a fun, easy going, professional, Christian man. Exactly what we were looking for on our day. We did a facetime meeting with Andrew that went really well to get to know each other and then shortly after Andrew sent over our ceremony draft. It was perfect immediately which is something I was struggling to find from another minister we hired in the beginning. I asked for a Christian ceremony and did not need to change a thing that Andrew had sent over. He made everything super easy with nothing to stress about. He even sent in our marriage license after the wedding day, which was super nice! The ceremony he performed was absolutely beautiful and I would highly recommend Andrew! Thanks again so much Andrew!

My new husband and I absolutely loved working with Andrew! We found him about two weeks before our wedding, after we found out our first officiant would no longer be available to marry us. Thankfully, Andrew was available and willing to marry us on such a short notice! Immediately after talking to him, we knew he was meant to marry us. He is incredibly professional, timely, and kind. We discussed what we wanted in our ceremony, and just a few days later Andrew had emailed a script for the wedding. The wording and the vows were so sweet and better than what we were envisioning. Andrew is an exceptional speaker! The ceremony was beautiful and flowed perfectly, even when my husband's best man passed the rings still in the boxes (please tell your best man to take the rings out of the boxes! :) Thankfully, Andrew handled the rings so smoothly, I'm confident most of the guests didn't even realize what happened. We are forever blessed to have had Andrew as our officiant! We highly recommend him!

We chose Andrew as our officiant because of my familyâs close relationship with him and his family. Prior to the wedding, Andrew lead us through premarital counseling, and worked with us carefully and personally to make sure that our wedding day, and the vows we were entering into, weâre tailored to us. On our wedding day, he was warm and sincere. I wouldnât pick anyone different, even now, to take us through that very special day!
