Lem was such a joy to work with for our May 2023 wedding! He was so easy to work with, professional, and made the legal aspect of getting married a breeze! We have had so many people tell us how amazing our officiant was and how much they loved the personal touches he added to the ceremony. He truly made an effort to get to know us as a couple too! Highly reccomend Lem as your wedding officiant!!

Thank you Kara! I loved being your officiant! Thank you so much for the kind review. May you and Drew continue to have many more "cheesy dinner and a movie dates" for decades to come ;)
Lem had a great personality. His service was heartwarming and amusing. He kept our guests engaged and entertained, and many guests complimented him on his officiating.
Lem was truly the perfect officiant for us. He is so kind, attentive to detail and well spoken. Lem took the time to get to know us and understand the importance of our faith in Christ. He helped us to select the perfect passage to read at our ceremony. Thank you Lem for a beautiful and eloquently spoken ceremony!
Any questions?
Lem was the perfect officiant for our special day. He did such a great job of storytelling, has great energy, was able to accommodate a secular ceremony, kept the ceremony short and sweet and was so easy to work with leading up to our wedding. Bonus points, he knew to step out of the shot to capture the infamous “you may now kiss the bride” moment! I would not hesitate to hire him for your wedding!
We could not have found a better fit for us. Lem is so kind, personable, and professional. He was adaptable when we had to completely change our plans a month before the wedding. It was a pleasure to have him as our officiant and highly recommend him if you're in need of one.
We recently had the pleasure of working with Lem for our wedding, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment we connected with him, we knew we were in good hands. He took the time to get to know us both individually and as a couple, which made our ceremony incredibly personalized and intimate.
Our wedding was an interfaith ceremony, and Lem handled it with such grace and sensitivity. He seamlessly blended elements from both of our traditions, creating a beautiful and meaningful service that honored our religious backgrounds and brought our families together. His words were heartfelt and touching, capturing the essence of our love story perfectly.
Throughout the entire process, Lem was professional, supportive, and attentive to our needs. He provided guidance and reassurance, making sure every detail was just right. His warm and calming presence on our wedding day put us at ease and allowed us to fully enjoy the moment.
We received so many compliments from our guests about how special and unique our ceremony was - Lem truly made our day unforgettable, and we are forever grateful for him! We highly recommend Lem to anyone looking for an officiant who will create a personalized and graceful ceremony.
Lem was our wedding officiant and he was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! We truly could not have asked for a better person for the job. From the initial phone conversation, our 1:1 meeting in person, email/text communication on the days leading up to and on our wedding day, Lem was personable, extremely attentive, and supportive throughout the entire wedding process. We had many questions, which Lem happily answered them all within a timely manner and walked us through our ceremony step by step which helped ease our nerves. Lem also gave us advice and allowed us to bounced ideas off him. During the ceremony, Lem made our wedding guest laugh and although we didn’t exchange public vows, Lem ensured our ceremony was still intimate and that we felt connected to the guests. He had probably the most important job of the day at our wedding and because of him, it was the most perfect ceremony!! You can really tell he really loves what he does!
I would HIGHLY recommend Lem if you want a kind, funny, easy- going yet professional officiant to marry you on your wedding day!!
We had an incredible experience with Lem! He was extremely easy to communicate with from day one. My husband and I wanted a legal ceremony in NC before we eloped overseas, but we didn't want to go to the courthouse, so Lem came to our home for a small, intimate secret ceremony. It was so very special, even as a "short & sweet" ceremony Lem spoke some beautiful & meaningful words + prayer over us. 10/10 recommend!!
Lem was (and is!) exceptional at what he does. He tailored our ceremony to fit our preferences and needs, and had the perfect blend of reverence and fun that we wanted. Think of him less as your officiant, and more of a friend who can get you married and help you work out the logistics with the marriage license :) he made my husband and I feel special, prioritized, and seen before, during, and even after our ceremony!!! Lem really is the best and we cannot recommend him enough.
Lem was amazing to work with! From the very first meeting we loved him and knew he was the perfect man to marry us! He made us feel so comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process from planning the ceremony to sharing our story and really just getting to know us. He was very supportive and accessible when we had questions and was quick to respond. Lem provided a draft of the ceremony that we were able to modify to our needs, gave plenty of options for the readings that best matched us as a couple and then went over the ceremony in detail with us prior to the big day. As a big planner I absolutely loved being able to have a copy of the day and what was going to be said. The day of our wedding he came to greet us personally prior to the ceremony which really put me at ease as the bride. Throughout the ceremony it felt like a true friend was marrying us. He created the perfect ceremony for us and I am so glad that we chose him!
Oh my gosh Lem is incredible! He’s so sweet and just a pure joy to work with. He made our wedding ceremony so much fun and so uniquely personalized to me and my husband! Our ceremony was perfection. It was filled with wisdom, love, sincerity and lots of light hearted humor! Our wedding guests kept coming up to us throughout night raving about how fantastic he was! My husband and I truly felt so lucky to find Lem as our officiant and I highly recommend him for your wedding! he will make your ceremony truly memorable and special!
Lem was so amazing to work with! He is very professional and really takes the time and effort to get to know you and your spouse. He made sure to walk us through the entire marriage license process and made it all so easy for us to navigate. He did a great job officiating our ceremony on our wedding day. I highly recommend using Lem for your upcoming wedding!
Lem was amazing and performed our wedding ceremony exactly how we wanted. He is so easy to work with and will answer any questions you have. He made us feel very comfortable and was very professional.
Lem went above and beyond to make our ceremony so special! From before we booked all the way until after the wedding, he took his time to get to know us as a couple. He chatted with us learning about our likes, dislikes, how we met, etc and really took his time in curating our ceremony to fit our needs. I would highly recommend Lem!
Lem was awesome to work with. Very personable, experienced and trustworthy. He walked us through the whole marriage license process and made sure that we were fully prepared. We would recommend him to anyone!
We absolutely loved working with Lem. We met with him several times ahead of our wedding which enabled us to get to know each other better and he made us feel comfortable and at ease. He did a fantastic job officiating our wedding - highly recommend him for his charismatic nature, trustworthiness, and professionalism..
Lem was one of the best parts of our wedding day! From our first phone calls with him to our ceremony, Lem was kind, easy to work with, flexible, and made my husband and I feel so comfortable and known. He took the time to get to know us and our story, which meant the ceremony felt so personal - which was something our guests and families raved about. Lem can cater to a wide variety of ceremony types, and he was even hyped for my husband and I to do a nontraditional unity ceremony... a shot of whiskey! If you need an officiant for your wedding, Lem is about as good as it gets, and I cannot recommend him enough!
Lem was great! He was nice and super easy to work with and really understood what we were looking for- the perfect blend of light heartedness and sentiment!
He met with us a couple times before our ceremony to prepare and was very professional through out the whole process.
10/10 recommend!
Working with Lem Leroy as our officiant for our recent September wedding was an absolute pleasure. From our very first interaction, it was clear that he genuinely cared about making our wedding ceremony meaningful and tailored to us. Lem was not only easy to communicate with, but he also displayed great flexibility in accommodating our plans and preferences. What truly stood out was his sincere effort to get to know us as a couple and understand our love story. This personal touch made our ceremony incredibly special. We received so many comments from guests about how special the ceremony was and what an excellent job Pastor Lem did. Lem's attention to detail and ability to capture the essence of our relationship made the entire experience unforgettable. We highly recommend Lem Leroy as an officiant for any couple looking to create a deeply personal and heartfelt wedding ceremony. You won't be disappointed! He kept up with a behind schedule timeline on wedding day and did not miss a beat which we also greatly appreciated!
Lem is OUTSTANDING in so many ways! Our wedding ceremony was so perfectly done... it was personal, God centered, engaging, and just the right length. Our guests are still talking about Lem!!!
Lem is also great at making sure the correct timeline with the legal process is followed and he provides support every step of the way. Lem officiating our ceremony is one of the best wedding decisions we made. Highly recommend!
Lem was great for our elopement! Both timely in his appearance and a great service/ceremony. Lem made our special day even more amazing with his eloquent speech and humor! Would recommend to anybody small or big wedding!
Lem was the best and so easy to work with. Planning a wedding is stressful so it was so nice to have such a calming officiant we could trust - giving us one less thing to worry about. Lem tailored everything to our needs and is an all around great human! I couldn't recommend him more!
Lem was wonderful to work with! We had a few calls before the wedding and he was always interested in getting to know us and what we envisioned for the ceremony. He should us examples of what we could do and would tailor anything to fit us. So many people complimented about how wonderful he was and how they loved the ceremony! Lem talked with our families and friends before and after the ceremony. Couldn’t recommend him enough!!!
Lem was absolutely wonderful at our wedding. He is super nice and personable, and was very on top of communication and making sure the ceremony was everything we wanted from the start. He made sure to get to know us, and we felt like he truly understood us and what was important to us when creating the ceremony and his script was absolutely beautiful!

Thank you MC! I loved officiating your ceremony. I also enjoyed meeting and conversing with your family and making all those UGA connections! All the best to you and Brandon!
Lem was such an amazing officiant and I can not recommend him enough! Lem was able to capture our personality as a couple and incorporate it into our day in the best way possible. We met with Lem a few times prior to our day and on our day he was prompt, thorough, and even stayed late to make sure we were comfortable with everything. You will not be disappointed if you hire Lem!
Response from the Vendor on 04/24/2023
Thank you for such a kind review Alex! It was a pleasure to get to know you and Eric and serve as your officiant. Best wishes to you both!
Lem was on time, full of personality, and performed the ceremony beautifully on our dock on the lake.
Response from the Vendor on 04/24/2023
Thank you Chris! It was my pleasure. Best wishes to you and Samantha!
Pastor Lem was early to the wedding ceremony. He was upbeat, professional, and prepared.
My company Complete Entertainment Wedding Productions provided Directing and DJ services for the wedding day. Pastor Lem shared a copy of the ceremony script with me in advance in order to use it during the ceremony rehearsal.
His performance and delivery during the ceremony was smooth, classy, and very well received.
Response from the Vendor on 01/03/2023
Thanks Nathan! Enjoyed working with you, and hope to team up again soon!
Lem was amazing from start to finish.He was everything we could have asked for more!! He got to know each and every five of us. We are a blended family with Celtic backgrounds. He gave us more than the standard vows to choose from. He gave us other ideas, readings, quotes, and Bible verses. We wanted a Christian ceremony with a sand ceremony with each of us pouring our own glass of sand (5 of us) and a Celtic Hand-fasting ceremony. He did research to give us exactly what we wanted. His personality is down to earth yet professional. He speaks with love and compassion. He met with us and guided us through it all. He feels like a part of our family now.
Response from the Vendor on 11/16/2022
Thank you so much, Carrie! It was a joy to be a part of your special day and officiate your ceremony. Blessings to you and your entire family!
Lem was so easy to work with during the whole process. He listened to our wants and advised where we asked. I was so grateful he stayed on top of everything, especially when things got to busy at the end. He was patient with me, but made sure everything was covered. Highly recommend!
Response from the Vendor on 11/16/2022
I appreciate your kind review, Lindsay! Best wishes to you, Mike, and Bennett!
We didn’t really have a specific person or church in mind for our wedding and add to the fact that we got married out of town. Lem was the best choice for the job. He was so great at speaking with us ahead of time, letting us know the flow do the ceremony and helping us pick out our readings. Lem did a beautiful job with our ceremony. We loved every minute of it! I highly recommend him to anyone getting married in the Charlotte area!!
Response from the Vendor on 11/16/2022
Thank you Morgan! I appreciate the opportunity to officiate your ceremony. All the best to you and Nathan!
Once we met with Lem the first time, we knew he was the perfect complement to the ceremony. He truly relishes being part of the marriage, while being open to any tweaks. His vision for the ceremony aligned with ours, and were confident both our families would appreciate his message and candor – which came to light!
Response from the Vendor on 10/05/2022
Thank you, Doug! It was a pleasure to get to know you and Missy and officiate your wedding. Best wishes to you both!

Thank you Traci! Blessings to you and your wonderful family!
We are so happy we found Lem and he was available to officiate our wedding ceremony! He is very easy to work with and flexible. He is open to collaborating with the couple and took the time to get an understanding of our vision for the ceremony, whether religious or non religious, short or long, etc. we felt very comfortable and confident with him as our officiant and we are so thankful he was part of our big day!
Response from the Vendor on 07/23/2022
Thank you so much Shannon! It was a joy to get to know you and Dan. Blessings to you and your new lives together!
Lem did a phenomenal job! Everyone was complimenting how well spoken he was, he respected our wishes of a non-religious ceremony while still keeping things very traditional but still modern. I would recommend Lem anytime I have the opportunity!
Response from the Vendor on 04/27/2022
Thank you Jordan! It was a pleasure to serve as your officiant and to get to know you and Matt. Best wishes to you both!
Couldn’t recommend Lem more for elopement! We had a really lovely ceremony thanks to his kind words and calm, but excited demeanor. He was very genuine and truly cared about being there for our day. In the months leading up to the wedding day, he was great at communicating and popped in from time to time to remind us that he was there if we ever needed anything at all. A truly kind and thoughtful person. We feel grateful to have had him as a part of our day and would recommend him to anyone!
Response from the Vendor on 04/27/2022
Hi Liana! Thank you so much for your kind review. And thank you for choosing me to be your officiant. Best wishes to you and Don!
We knew after our first conversation with Lem that he was going to be a wonderful part of our wedding ceremony. Prior to the wedding, he met with us in person to get to know us, talk us through the ceremony, give us suggestions on how best to write our own vows, and answer all of our questions. He tailored the ceremony to fit what we wanted, and we were able to incorporate readings that reflected who we are as a couple. His words and delivery provided just the right balance of humor/ levity and sentimentality during the ceremony. Even though we did not know Lem personally prior to planning our wedding, on our wedding day we felt like he was truly someone we could count on, he provided a ceremony that felt very personal and reflected our relationship perfectly, and we will always be grateful for the major role he has played in our lives. We highly recommend Lem as a wedding officiant, whether you are planning a religious or non-religious ceremony.

Thank you so much Jenn! What a pleasure it was to get to know you and Chris. All the best to you both!
I can’t say enough about Lem! My husband and I feel so lucky that Lem married us. From the beginning he was professional, listened to our ideas, and was excited to be apart of our big day. We had an initial phone conversation and then met in personal to get to know each other while going through our ceremony draft. Lem was super helpful at walking us through the process and bouncing ideas on how to personalize our ceremony to what we had in mind. Lem let us lead with the key points we wanted to incorporate into our ceremony (personalized vows, quote/reading, etc) but had everything else sorted out so that we didn’t have to worry about actually having to write it all out. We really appreciated the time Lem took to get to know both of us, hear our story, and also let us get to know him. We instantly felt comfortable and excited he would be the marrying us. Lem was very helpful at our rehearsal in walking us through the timeline and making sure we were ready to go! Our ceremony was so beautiful and it really was because Lem brought it all together. He had a great way of making the ceremony heart felt but light and energetic at the same time. I cannot recommend Lem enough and we are so happy our paths crossed!
Response from the Vendor on 02/23/2022
Thank you Meredith and Harper! Your wedding was the quintessential experience for an officiant from the very beginning. Y'all were so great to work with. And you had such a fantastic vendor team and venue. Best wishes and look forward to catchi...

I am a wedding planner and recently worked a wedding with Lem and he did a fantastic job! Very well spoken, friendly and had the perfect mix of fun and serious in his ceremony. I look forward to referring couples to him in the future!
Response from the Vendor on 01/24/2022
Thank you Taylor! You and Cheyenne were awesome! Can't wait to do another wedding with you!
From the moment he arrived Lem set a wonderful tone for our wedding by being personal, warm and engaging with everyone. He put us at ease with this attitude and the fact that he prepared us ahead of time on what to expect. He gave us examples of vows and scriptures to use, along with suggestions, and we were able to make it our own. We can't say enough good things about the way he officiated our wedding!
Response from the Vendor on 01/19/2022
Thank you Mike and Sharon! It was a joy and a privilege to officiate your ceremony. Best wishes to you both!
We are so grateful to have found Lem to be our officiant. He was professional but also personable and was truly a joy to have helping us through our special day. He helped us create a custom ceremony where he found the balance between tradition/religion that my husband was hoping for and my non-religious perspective. He even rolled with the punches when we had a small mishap during the ceremony (not at all caused by Lem and completely out of his control) and we all had a good laugh later. Everyone enjoyed chatting with him after the ceremony as well. You will not regret hiring Lem to be your officiant.
Response from the Vendor on 01/03/2022
Hi Melissa! Thank you for such a kind review. I absolutely loved meeting and working with you and Zach. It was such a beautiful ceremony and experience overall. Blessings to you both and your families in this new year!
Lem was amazing to work with! He got to know us as a couple, so he was able to add personal touches to our ceremony. He was a true pleasure. Everyone came up to us after the ceremony to tell us how wonderful of a job he did. We are so glad he was able to officiate our wedding.

Thank you Katie! I really enjoyed getting to know you and Kermit. And it was such a delight to officiate your wedding. Best wishes to you both!
I found Lem a few months before our wedding date and after reading his stellar reviews, I was so thankful that he was available on our date. Lem was very communicative right from the beginning all the way up to the day of the wedding. The ceremony was so beautiful and our guests also loved it - we received a ton of feedback on how great Lem was and how beautifully spoken he was. If you want a personable, reliable, and all around AWESOME officiant… look no further than Lem LeRoy. He really exceeded our expectations and I highly, highly recommend him to anyone getting married. Thank you Lem!!!!

Colleen - thank you! It was an absolute joy to officiate your ceremony. I loved getting to know you and Marc. It was extra special to meet your families the day of your wedding. So fun! Best wishes to you, Marc, and your family!
Lem was absolutely amazing to work with. My now-husband and I felt so at ease with him! He was incredibly detailed, going over everything with us, progression of events, what to expect etc. Lem was always quick to respond if we needed anything and just always there for us. During the actual ceremony, everything he said was beautiful and absolutely spot on. He was able to capture our entire relationship perfectly. Both our families LOVED him too! It was amazing to be able to have him stay after and hang out for a bit too to meet everyone. I couldn't recommend him more!
Response from the Vendor on 11/22/2021
Thank you for such a kind review, Emily! I enjoyed officiating your wedding. All the best to you and Bobby. Hope to see you at Seaboard sometime ;-)
My husband and I were lucky enough to have Lem officiate our elopement/micro-wedding on 11/13/21. From our first conversation with him, we knew we had found the right man for this crucially important role. Lem is kind, funny, talented, patient, and flexible. His faith is evident and he radiates peace. He created a beautiful interfaith ceremony incorporating prayers requested by both sides of our family. It was so moving and reflected us as a couple perfectly. His own words were wise and true and will stick with us throughout the rest of our lives together. He made us feel comfortable despite our nerves, was very responsive to my numerous e-mails, and showed me grace when I was late. We feel blessed to have had him there to guide us through the best day of our lives and would not chance a single thing about our ceremony thanks to him.
Response from the Vendor on 11/16/2021
Such eloquent and thoughtful sentiments. Thank you Janet! It was a joy to officiate your ceremony. Richest blessings to you and Leslie!
Lem was wonderful to work with from the moment we reached out to him. He is very responsive and is an excellent communicator. Lem took the time to know us as a couple and we were given the opportunity to tailor the ceremony to include meaningful and personal tributes and prayers. Lem was extremely prepared for the ceremony, making it a seamless process the day of the marriage. He is a wonderful speaker, his voice projects beautifully and he has a warm and outgoing personality. I would highly recommend working with Lem as a wedding officiant.

Thank you so much Jaslyn! And thank you for choosing me to officiate your ceremony! Best wishes to you and Liborio!
We are so happy we picked Lem to be the officiant for our Wedding this past month! Lem took a lot of time to get to know us as individuals and understand what we were looking for in a wedding ceremony and an officiant. We both grew up in religious households but we don't attend church at the current moment so we wanted our ceremony to be quick (<30 min) but still rooted in God. Lem was non-judgmental about our beliefs, and extremely personable and just easy to work with! He was very flexible to what we wanted and had a lot of knowledge of standard ceremonies and also options we had to make it perfect for us! He also incorporated humor into the ceremony, which made it more relaxed and comfortable. All of our guests were so complimentary about the ceremony and we would highly recommend Lem for your wedding!
Response from the Vendor on 10/04/2021
Hey Rachel! Thank you so much for your kind review. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know you and Mark and meeting your friends and family. I'm honored that you chose me to officiate your ceremony. All the best to you and Mark!
Lem took the time to get to know us on a personal level, the ceremony was great due to Lem’s experience and it truly felt like we had a friend as an officiant. We are so happy that he was able to be a part of our special day!
Response from the Vendor on 09/18/2021
Thanks Aaron! I had the best time getting to know you and your family. It was a beautiful service and I am grateful for the opportunity to be your officiant.
My fiancé and I had booked Lem for a wedding next summer. Unfortunately, we were unable to keep our booking due to issues with family being able to travel out of state. However, we had a very good conversation with Lem prior to booking. He seems to really care about the work that he does and is very personable. I wish I could bring you to our state to do our officiating but that would be A LOT of trouble for him. I highly recommend Lem to anyone in NC looking for a great officiant!
Response from the Vendor on 09/17/2021
You are too kind, Mandy! Best wishes to you and Josiah and blessings on your marriage and your new life together!
We would highly recommend Lem for your upcoming elopement or wedding! From the very beginning of meeting him, all the way through the completion of our ceremony, Lem was courteous, cordial, professional, helpful and relatable. We had a last minute change of venue, and Lem not only accommodated our last minute changes, but he also made us feel at ease on a hectic day. He guided us through the process of getting married, and provided a thoughtful, simple, eloquent ceremony that was just perfect for us. He also took the time to get to know us the week before the ceremony, which was also helpful and put us at total ease. Go with Lem for your wedding or elopement, you won't be disappointed! Thank you Lem! Love, Tim and Gina
Response from the Vendor on 09/17/2021

Did your officiant meet you and your fiancé at a brewery to get to know you as a couple? No? Sucks for you... Pastor Lem LeRoy did!
He was amazing! He made our day so special and all of our guests LOVED him! Truly a spectacular day and HE DID THAT. Highly recommended!

Such a treat to meet you and your family, Lesley, and it was a joy to officiate your wedding! Blessings to you and Christopher!
Lem officiated my wife and I's small backyard wedding. Due to Covid there were quite a few hurdles when getting our license, and Lem was understanding and patient with us.
During the ceremony he made us feel comfortable and stress-free. We were beyond happy with our choice of using Lem!

Thanks so much, Jessica! It was a treat to officiate your ceremony. Your family means a lot to me. Blessings to you and Joe!
Lem made our day truly special and perfect! He was very responsive and made the whole process so smooth. We eloped from out of state and he was very helpful with any questions or concerns that we had. He also made sure to make our wedding personalized how we wanted it and really catered to our needs. I would recommend him to everyone!

Thank you so much, Connie! I truly enjoyed officiating your ceremony and meeting your family!
We hired Mr. Lem LeRoy for our wedding at Chimney Rock, NC. He is the most amazing officiant EVER! He really went out of his way for us...including driving all the way from Charlotte! Mr. LeRoy was very professional, and very dependable. He stayed in contact even after the wedding was done. He Really made it easy for us. Lem LeRoy even added sentimental touches to our vows which made our day even more special. We would 100 % recommend Lem LeRoy, and even keep him in mind for future events!

I so enjoyed being a part of your special day! Thank you so much!
Lem was a fantastic officiant! He's personable, organized, and reliable. He went above and beyond his services by providing reminders about obtaining a marriage license and recommendations for ceremony locations. He even has backup officiant connections in case he's ever unavailable on the day of the event. He's a wonderful addition to a special day!

Thank you Jennifer! It was a joy. The botanical garden was a perfect location!
Lem was amazing. He was able to fit us in his schedule for our wedding date after our first officiant ghosted us. He made our ceremony personal and really brought a lot of positive energy in a stressful situation. Highly recommend.

Thank you Amanda! I loved being a part of your special day!
Lem was easy to work with and guided us through the wedding process, he gave suggestions and ideas based on his experience but ultimately left it up to us to make our final choices. Definitely recommend!

Thank you so much Kristen! Your family is very special to me.
We wanted a fairly traditional ceremony that moved quickly enough that the kids attending (and there were a lot) would be able to sit through it. Lem was a fantastic listener and we felt that he understood what we wanted and was able to make our wedding ceremony something that really reflected our personalities while respecting the traditions our parents grew up with.

Thanks Lauren! I rocked that clergy collar just for you guys ;-)
Lem was very personable and so easy to work with. Made our Friday rehearsal extremely relaxing. (We had rain in the forecast). Was able to talk about the cool things in both our lives at the service and weave in how Christ worked in and through our lives to get us tot he altar.
He’s was very punctual and thorough in preparation and officiating our ceremony. We would definitely recommend Lem for your wedding ceremony.

Thanks Gary! What a great day that was.
Lem is the best! He helped us plan our ceremony and made himself available for any questions we had. He let us choose what we wanted to be said during the ceremony as well as choose what verses we wanted. Our ceremony was so special. I would highly recommend him. Thank you Lem!
