We have nothing but good things to say about Bob Hovey and First Coast Ceremonies! Because we were coming from out of town to get married on Amelia Island, we did not know any ministers in the area. It was very important to both of us to select... someone who shared our Christian values, so I researched many, many officiants and ministers. When I looked at Bob’s website and watched video clips of weddings he had performed, I knew immediately that he was going to be a good match for us and prayed that he would be available! He is wonderful! He has the most outgoing personality and he brought much laughter and joy to our wedding day! He is also very professional and it is obvious that he is very experienced in conducting weddings. He first met with us over Zoom and we talked about our vision for the wedding. He then sent us two different versions of wedding ceremonies and asked us to look over those and use them to write our own ceremony, which we did. On the day of our beach wedding, it rained off and on throughout the day. Bob had told me previously that he was setting aside the whole day just for us, and would be available to come earlier or later if we needed to because of rain. I texted him during the early afternoon and asked if he could come earlier than we had planned, which he was glad to do! We really appreciated his flexibility! Before the wedding, Bob went over every detail of the ceremony, which was so helpful. The actual ceremony was just beautiful. We believe that a wedding should be a sacred time before God. Bob took the scriptures we had chosen and incorporated them into his message. He did a wonderful job of explaining God’s plan for marriage. But his sense of humor and his lightheartedness gave our wedding a special touch! He even snapped some pictures for us on his cell phone after the wedding, which was so nice. Our whole family really enjoyed meeting and getting to know Bob! If you are looking for a wonderful minister to perform your wedding, look no farther! Bob is fantastic and you will not find anyone better!
