Finding an officiant for your wedding is a personal one but challenging when you don't have a specific minister in your life when you're getting married. We had Marty Younkin perform our ceremony and he was phenomenal. He was funny yet calm and...
made my husband and I so comfortable during the rehearsal, the 30 minutes before the ceremony and all the way through (even when I stumbled through words). The paperwork beforehand is work - but I wouldn't want a ceremony that wasn't personalized and customized to what we wanted so it was PERFECT. Everything was so smooth, and we appreciate all that Marty and LoveNotes did for us!

t our upbringing, our Christian faith, and the desires for our ceremony. We knew after our hour+ long conversation that Marty would be the perfect person to marry us.
During the planning process, Marty provided us with his book, which consists of many different variations of ceremonies. We wanted to make our ceremony unique to us as a couple, and we were easily able to do that. Marty provided us with recommendations and feedback promptly until we landed on the perfect ceremony.
Fast forward to our ceremony; it was better than we could have ever imagined. It was a scripture-filled ceremony, with so many laughs, and personalized to us. We can't count the number of compliments we received about how beautiful the ceremony was and what a wonderful job Marty did. We feel like Marty is part of our family now, and we are incredibly grateful that he made our day so perfect. Thank you, Marty!
Look no further than using LoveNotes for your special day; We promise you won't regret it!

Response from the Vendor on 05/31/2022
Hi Adriene, thank you so much for your kind words. It was a beautiful wedding with a beautiful bride on a beautiful day. I was honored to share this moment with you and your families.
Edward was very helpful and professional. The main things we expected were met. This was a smooth overall process from initial conversation to go-live-get-married. The services LoveNotes has is a sense of customization of how we wanted the ce...
remony to go with a script to follow or customize it ourselves which we did slightly. We thought it was great. The communication during the process was on point via email and phone. And most importantly for us, our names were pronounced correctly, and Ed arrived early while our guests were still coming in.
All in all, we were very happy and pleased with Ed's services. We say this because during the ceremony Ed spoke smoothly without pause, and made sure everyone could hear in our private ceremony room. He has a great calming voice. Ed is very nice, professional and a kind person. I would highly recommend Ed and the services Love Notes provides. Don't waste time looking around. Pay for quality service and team members that will take care of you. We are very happy!
Marty was beyond perfect! He gave me all the tools to customize my wedding ceremony; from the length, tone, wording to showing for our rehearsal. My family and friends couldn’t stop telling me how wonderful and charming Marty was. He made our w...
edding even more memorable. He asked me before the ceremony if I wanted a serious solemn wedding or a lighthearted fun wedding. I said I wanted a fun lighthearted ceremony. Well we all cried, laughed, listened to the beautiful message and had the most amazing time! He also added the Wedding Lasso tradition per my request, since I’m Hispanic. Marty was friendly, professional, knowledgeable, kind, and very punctual. Thank you so much! We will forever cherish such a perfect wedding! Highly recommended!
My husband and I had a small elopement in our own backyard with our parents and two kids by our side. We wanted something small, intimate & meaningful. I feel like that can make finding an officiant hard because you want everyone to know you. B...
ut, Marty Younkin went above and beyond! He made it feel like we had known him for years and that he was a close family friend. Before the ceremony, he went around and talked to us & our family members making sure that he got a glimpse into who we were and got exactly what we were wishing for in our marriage. He was so kind, caring & funny. I couldn’t think of a better person to have officiated our wedding! I will recommend him to every person I come across who is looking for an officiant. He truly made our day that much more special.
Buster was awesome! We had a fairly last minute change of officiant but Buster stepped in and knocked it out of the park. He was great with communication, and the questions he asked so that he could fill out his speech were easy and fun to answ...
er. He was very open and shared multiple drafts of the ceremony before our big day.
Additionally Buster made a huge effort to mingle with guests and family, and everyone remarked about how warm and friendly he was, which came out during his ceremony.
10/10 would suggest getting Buster and the team to officiate your wedding!

Buster Noah was our officiant and did a fabulous job! Several people came up to us and complimented him! We absolutely recommend him!
We are so glad we chose Buster to officiate our ceremony! In the months leading up to the wedding, he frequently checked in on us and always made sure we had all questions answered. He was so friendly and kind and made us feel so prepared at th...

Marty did an incredible job as our wedding officiant and we could not be happier. Before we chose him we sat down and talked and he assured us that he would go above and beyond and walked us through what to expect. He also provides worksheets a...
nd vow options on the LoveNotes website which helped us know what we were doing. On the day of our wedding the ceremony he put together was so beautiful and we did not feel like we were being married by a stranger but someone we had known for a long time and our families raved about him as well. I highly recommend LoveNotes for your wedding!
Ed was our minister and he was fantastic! He was super helpful throughout the planning process, and even though we didn’t do a rehearsal, everything still smoothly with his help’

We hired Buster Noah from LoveNotes for our wedding and feel so lucky that our planner put us in contact with him. We had a short ceremony and even still, I had multiple guests come up to me during the reception and talk specifically about ho...
w great the ceremony was and point out that they really liked the officiant as well! Buster made things extremely easy for us and helped me (the groom) keep my nerves down during the final seconds before my wife walked down the aisle.
I could not recommend Buster (or LoveNotes) more highly,
We loved working with Chris Marx to create a beautiful ceremony. The LoveNotes system makes it really easy to customize to fit what you are looking for in a ceremony. I had a few tweaks to the ceremony and added a whole section, and Chris was v...
ery accommodating to those changes. He made us feel comfortable coming from different faith (and non-faith) backgrounds and he did a great job of delivering the ceremony--we received several compliments from guests. He was also very helpful during the rehearsal and had several tips for how to present the ceremony, which I would not have thought of. Would highly recommend LoveNotes and Chris Marx!
Joe Zinser was amazing during our whole wedding prep and the ceremony. He helped us develop the wedding ceremony we wanted and helped us prepare for it. Joe helped us relax during the wedding rehearsal and moments leading up to the ceremony. Th...
ank you Joe for all of your help.
After agonizing for months over who would marry us, my fiancé and I found LoveNotes and we are so thankful we did. Our officiant, Ed Gillies, really took the time to get to know us and our ceremony felt so personal as a result. We loved being a...
ble to craft a ceremony script that was specific to our personalities and the vibe we wanted to cultivate and Ed went above and beyond in bringing our personal style into the event. We really cannot say enough wonderful things about LoveNotes and we would recommend them *highly* to anyone who is looking for a ceremony to remember.
My husband and I recently got married, and we were lucky to have Pastor Chuck by our side. Pastor Chuck overall was AMAZING! He made everything so simple, from thinking of questions/ideas we couldn’t even think of, to making us feel like family...
. He was beyond detailed and kept in touch with us on all parts of the wedding, especially with our multiple dates changes due to COVID.
Edward Gillies went above and beyond for our wedding! He exceeded our expectations and did absolutely amazing in such a short notice. I would recommend him to anyone, he's the best!
Marty is amazing. Many of our friends have been married in the last 5 years, and (I know I'm biased....but) Marty made it the best service I've heard thus far. I had multiple people approach me afterwards and ask me how I knew him, etc. He is a...
true professional. Eloquent. Light hearted, per our request. Sincere. We loved his service and so did our guests.
I also want to say how kind and flexible he was with us. We had to reschedule due to the pandemic plus I am a front line worker who planned her own wedding while working insane amounts of overtime. Sometimes I could not see the forrest for the trees. He is so kind and patient and helped me make sure I didn't forget anything.
I love his book as well, which helps you customize your own ceremony and walks you through the entire proceeding. When planning a wedding yourself, you don't know what questions to ask half the time let alone what the tiny important details are.
My husband (who usually did not have an opinion on wedding related items) and I both absolutely adore Marty. We feel so blessed that he performed our ceremony. I highly recommend you hire him for your upcoming special day!!

He did such a wonderful job that a few people came up to us after the ceremony to comment on how much they enjoyed the service. Thanks Marty for making our day so special!
We had Frank Deleo officiate our wedding as well as hired him as our premarital counselor.
He was amazing and really put in the effort to get to know my husband and myself.
Frank is passionate about his job and made our day so special!
Working with Pastor Chris Sutton was wonderful! He was very professional and made us feel quickly comfortable and like we had known him forever. He did an excellent job at our ceremony and was great at blending more serious moments with humor. ...
We would definitely recommend him to any couples who are looking for an officiant!
Joe Zinser was an amazing reverend. He took the time to do an initial meeting to get know us. So kind and thoughtful. He made our wedding so perfect.

a wonderful job at our wedding. Our family and friends love him too! Highly recommend!!
Overall experience was good. Website, forms and resources are easy to use and navigate, and price was fair. We were supposed to have Joe originally, but due to a family emergency got transferred to another officiant. Not sure if it was due to t...
he hand-off, but the forms that I filled out were lost in the shuffle. Luckily their IT team was able to find them. The biggest reason for only leaving three stars instead of four is that the officiant ended up pronouncing my husband's last name wrong twice during the ceremony.
Pastor Chuck with LoveNotes did such an amazing job of putting together a ceremony that reflected our wishes. Our request was for a bilingual ceremony to accommodate both our english & spanish speaking friends and family. LoveNotes and Pastor C...

rks there is amazing, but you HAVE to ask if Dr. Al Taylor is available for your wedding day. I can’t tell you what a special place he has in both my and my husband’s heart. He is the kindest man, and took such great care to make sure our wedding was exactly what we wanted. We also did premarital coaching with him before our wedding… y’all, please give this some serious thought. It completely prepared our hearts and minds for marriage. Al did such an amazing job of getting us to think about our marriage in ways we never had before. I promise you won’t regret it.
Joe Zinser our officiant was a true professional and helpful and courteous throughout our time together!!! I highly recommended Lovenotes as it walked me through step by step planning our ceremony!!!
Frank was absolutely fantastic. We heard about LoveNotes through our planner and we’re lucky enough to have Frank officiate our ceremony. The company made picking the wording for our ceremony a breeze and kept us assured throughout the whole pr...

Marty officiated our wedding last week and he was beyond amazing. I recommend him to every couple that is about to get married. He made our ceremony very special!
My husband and I are not religious but come from religious backgrounds, which made finding someone to officiate our wedding very difficult. We wanted to respect our loved ones, while staying true to who we are. After countless hours of research...
, we came across Love Notes. Their website is a bit outdated but they expressed being open and impartial to any and all ceremonies. That's initially what caught our attention and the reason to why we reached out.
We were paired with Al Taylor shortly after and had a phone call scheduled within days of the request. For brides/grooms that are unsure about going this rout, I highly recommend a phone call that your significant other can be apart of. We both felt a connection with Al afterwards and knew he was perfect for our ceremony.
He was quick to respond back and worked overtime on perfecting our vows. He also made time to meet up with us a few days before the wedding, just to ensure we had everything in order and discuss last minute changes. Not only were we impressed but our families were as well.
We hired Buster Noah for our wedding and the experience was wonderful from beginning to end. He was punctual, polite, extremely easy going and did a wonderful job with our ceremony. He was a complete professional and I'm very thankful he offi...

LoveNotes and Chuck Sisneros were absolutely awesome to work with! We needed a bilingual officiant and Chuck was incredible with how he can include both Spanish and English in a ceremony. Us and our guests really loved him!
We booked our officiant through Love Notes Weddings. They were fast to reply to our request. Respected how we wanted our vows to be read, notified us of a rough draft to approve prior the the wedding. They were awesome!

Love Notes provided an exceptional experience for my wife and I. We had an opportunity to reach out to several of their officiants and decide who was the best fit for us and our wedding. We ultimately chose Rusty who could not have been a bette...
r fit! Rusty offered premarital counseling for us so that we were able to better prepare for this new chapter in our lives. Through premarital counseling my wife and I got to know Rusty very well. His officiating was a more genuine and personal experience because of it. We had several meetings where we discussed our vision for a ceremony and worked together on all the details.
Rusty was very prepared for our ceremony and we couldn't have imagined a better ceremony. We had several compliments from our guests about how good of a job he did. He was excellent at managing the flow of the ceremony and making sure everyone and everything was in place. He even kept his composure when one of the pews our guests were sitting on broke in half!
Overall going with Love Notes and particularly Rusty was one of the best decisions we made during our engagement. They made the process seamless, and were flexible during every step of the way. I cannot recommend enough.

His professionalism is outranked and by far one of the kindest individuals I have come in contact with while planning the wedding. He was able to answer all of our questions about the marriage license as well!
We we're referred to LoveNotes from our wedding planner. We had no idea who would be officiating our wedding, as we didn't know any officiants and didn't want a very religious ceremony. When we contacted LoveNotes, they were able to find us an ...
officiant that was available on our wedding day, (it was less than a month away and we still didn't have one). We met with Pastor Chuck Siseneros over video chat and from there on, he went over everything with us. We were able to customize our wedding to our liking from start to end. If your not sure who will be officiating your wedding, I would definitely recommend going to LoveNotes. They will handle everything, but will also make sure its sincere and genuine for you and your spouse.
Marty was the best officiant ever! He kept it traditional yet funny. It felt right with him being our officiant. It suits him really well.
When you think of a wedding officiant, you probably think of the trite ordinary experience we usually see. Marty was the opposite of ordinary. We had some wedding issues, with COVID adding extra. The wedding was originally set for July and didn...
't happen. Marty rolled with the punches. We talked at least 5 times (I am the groom's mother), probably MORE than that, before he was even hired. He was patient and understanding with some difficult family dynamics and he helped smooth that divide. Ever professional, I could not imagine a more perfect choice! Aside from professional, he added an appropriate level of humor which broke some of the family tension. All I can say is, to quote Marty, "it's his job to get you hitched without a hitch" and he did NOT disappoint!
We were honored to have him share our son and daughter-in-law's ceremony!
Marty was so kind and made this the best ceremony we could’ve ever wanted. It was so sincere and thoughtful, we could have not had it any other way. We loved it so much!
Marty was incredible and made our day so special. I had so many guest come up and tell me how great he was and how much they enjoyed the ceremony. His message was amazing and so personable. Marty will be a treasured memory and friend we keep fo...

We are so happy we had Al Taylor from LoveNotes marry us on our wedding day. LoveNotes was so great to work with and made it so easy to plan out our wedding ceremony- they have the bet resources! Al did such a wonderful job officiating our wed...
ding. He has such a warm, calming presence and is so sincere. We loved getting to know Al leading up to our wedding day. He was very professional, took the time to get to know us as a couple, personalize our ceremony and confirm he had all of the appropriate details. Al made our wedding very special and we definitely recommend LoveNotes to everyone!
It would take so long to tell of the many wonderful reasons that we loved having Rev. Marty Younkin as our daughter’s wedding officiant. (Marty also was officiant for our first daughter in 2017) He is personable, puts everyone at ease with his...
gracious and witty demeanor, yet takes charge of rehearsal in most professional manner. The ceremony was beautiful and exactly the way we dreamed it would be. Marty is also flexible in that last minute we asked him to have a prayer over bride and groom before ceremony. If you know how hectic weddings can be, pre ceremony especially, you know it was very special that he did this for us. Marty is the best! We have one more daughter to be married in the future and we hope that Marty will be officiant for her future wedding as well!
LoveNotes was a great asset throughout the entire marriage experience. Especially as a couple who do not subscribe to a particular faith. We can honestly say that we were taken care of the entire time by Marty(the owner) when an issue arose and...
we had to switch ministers. Our second minister had to quarantine due to COVID right before the wedding and they immediately took care of it and even had someone who felt like we knew him for just as long! A huge thank you to Joe and to Frank for stepping in at the last minute.
Planning a wedding during the Covid pandemic comes with its own set of challenges. We were saddened when our original officiant (a close family friend) had to pull out last minute due to exposure. LoveNotes was able to step right in and get us ...
an officiant, no problem (about 2-3 weeks out). We had Ken Savage and he was nothing short of excellent! He spent time with me over the phone to get a grasp of who my fiancé and I were as a couple. He also made sure to ask exactly what we wanted for our special day. He even was able to piece together a few different ceremony options to meet our exact needs. The ceremony turned out beautiful and Ken's cheerful demeanor eased both of our nerves! Thank you to LoveNotes for saving the day, being so professional and customizable during the most special of occasions!
Our officiant made us feel like family immediately even though we didn't meet face to face until a couple of weeks before the wedding. We felt like he paid attention to what we wanted for our ceremony and executed everything beautifully. His na...
me is Rusty, and he gave us such a wonderful ceremony. I can't imagine any other way our ceremony would have gone. My husband and I love love love our officiant so much.
I can not say enough great things about Marty! My husband and I adored working with him. He was so professional from beginning to end and really made us feel so special on the day of our wedding. My husband and I had no clue where to start when...
it came to writing our vows for the day of the wedding and he made the process so easy. He had many options to choose from and we were able to piece together our own personalized vows. Marty and the LoveNotes team are extremely personable - you'll feel like you've known them forever! I could not recommend them enough.

Kristen, it was such an honor to share in such a wonderful moment in your lives. You all were so welcoming that I truly felt like I was a part of the family. May your journey be filled with endless joy and happiness.
Working with Buster was an absolute pleasure! He worked with us every step of the way on our journey, and delivered a great Ceremony for us. We got several compliments on his message as well! He delivered it with great poise and an appropriate ...
amount of humor that allowed all of us to feel joy.
Pastor Chris Sutton was amazing. He was prepared and did the ceremony exactly how we wanted it. Thank you!!
Pastor Chris Sutton did an amazing job during our ceremony! He was extremely well prepared, humorous, and included all of the personalized ceremony sections we requested. We did a wine box section of our ceremony and everyone thought it was suc...
h a great idea and Chris did a great job explaining the meaning behind it. Pastor Chris put our ceremony butterflies at ease. Love Notes is a great company to hire if you are looking to completely customize your ceremony. From beginning to end, my husband and I selected reading and vows that felt like us which made it all more special. Would highly recommend Love Notes and Pastor Chris to anyone searching for a wedding officiant.
Our wedding venue recommended Love Notes to us for an officiant. We contacted Marty and scheduled a meeting with him and the rest was history! We felt so comfortable and connected well with him. He was great at reading the type of people that w...
e are and accommodated the ceremony accordingly. He was very responsive, on time, and personable. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better! Would highly recommend Marty from Love Notes!
We worked with Ashley and loved her and the whole process. From our first meeting, I was comfortable with her and knew she'd make a great officiant for us. When COVID hit, she still performed our mini ceremony in March and also our re-do in Nov...
ember. She put so much thought into our ceremony and made it feel personal. She is so sweet and funny, and I'm glad she was part of both our special days!
Love Notes responded quickly which was important because we decided to get married pretty quick. You definitely want a team of officiants that can fill in for each other in case there is an unforseen problem, sick, car accident etc. you don't...
get a 2nd chance at that BIG Day! The miniter we got Ed Gillies did a fantastic job at helping us put together the flow of our ceremony and it went off without a hitch (except for the getting hitched part lol). i highly recommend this company. the web site looks old but the quality of the people is real! -Rick
Lovenotes is an amazing company. I was looking at 3 different officiant websites, and I am so glad I chose Lovenotes. This company was very quick to email me and tell me about their services. They made my decision very easy. I was paired with J...
oe and he was so accommodating during this COVID time. I highly recommend this company and I would definitely choose them again. This is a very professional company.
Marty and LoveNotes are the best. He helped design a ceremonial perfect for my son and his wife. So professional, timely with all his communication and organized. He put everyone at ease and did a fantastic job with a combination of religious ...
traditions and light heartedness. I would highly recommend him. He will make your wedding ceremony special.
Our officiant was Chuck Sisneros and he was 100% perfect. He was willing to work with us through anything we wanted and needed including arrival time, modifications, even being able to do our ceremony in English and Spanish. He always had a gre...
at attitude and even cracked a couple of jokes to lighten the mood. He had everything organized for us and the process of customizing our ceremony was made very easy. We would 100% recommend him and LoveNotes.
As soon as we mentioned we were in need of a bilingual officiant we were pointed to Chuck. After contacting Chuck he quickly responded and asked when we would be able to meet with him. We met and as soon as we started talking I was already in t...
ears of joy because of how comfortable we felt opening up to him about our relationship, what we wanted and as he explained how it all would go. A year later the day came and it was more than we imagined. He added the personal touch that we had talked about the first time we met with him. We also kept adding different things and taking off and he was able to handle it all and continued to remind us it’s “our” day and he wanted to make it exactly as we ever imagined. Which he did!
Marty was exactly what we needed. He was always so friendly and professional, and he helped everything flow more smoothly while giving us great guidance in the planning of our ceremony. Highly recommend!
Joe Zinser was supportive, gave us great guidance, and personalized our ceremony. He has a great sense of humor and is very personable. Would highly recommend him!
