Mr.Eastman was very energetic, kind and respectful to us and did a excellent job on our ceremony! He’s made me and my husband happier then we have ever been. Please did your ceremony with Brian Eastman , he’s a good man and knows how to make you very comfortable with your decision.

Pastor Eastman was wonderful for our wedding ceremony. His humor and charismatic personality made our special day even better! We are so pleased with our choice!

My husband and I looked for a place to get married last minute. I wanted someone modest and knowledgeable. With Pastor Eastman, we received a personal but beautiful wedding ceremony. We learned many things from Pastor Eastman about being married and how to keep our marriage healthy and beautiful. It has almost been a year since and we have never been happier.

Brian Eastman's services were just awesome, precise and spot on. I really appreciate his time and service.

Marriage Chaplain is very great marriage service in Cincinnati Ohio! We received our marriage license at the beginning of August and for weeks I called many different places looking for someone who could officiate our wedding but nobody answered the phone or returned my message. Ten days before our license would expire I found Marriage Chaplain and made my appointment on the SAME DAY! I am grateful that Pastor Eastman provided us many information about building a successful marriage and we both learned a lot during the ceremony.

Very professional and the best part was that we were able to have the ceremony in Spanish. Thank you for making this day extra special!

Very lovely little ceremony and also quick it was very intimate just close family i was 4 months pregnant so i was glad they had their love seat swing which in my opinion made it more intimate and definitely took the pressure away 10/10 would recommend

Pastor Eastman was ready for us as soon as we arrived. We didn’t have to wait any time at all. He has the most reassuring way of talking and sharing his stories. He made our day even more memorable and special.

Pastor Eastman was a great officiant for our wedding. He made it fun and included just enough churchness to satisfy those who disapproved of us not getting married in one! I am giving him 4 stars simply because contacting him can take time and responses are slow. He did a great job at our wedding and was a highlight in ours guests eyes. If you want a ceremony that is not as boring as traditional ceremonies, book him!

Pastor Brian Eastman is who we chose to do our ceremony. I should have seen red flags when he didn’t answer our emails and I had to contact him 3 times. On the phone he sounded very professional and had all the right things to say. I wanted to hire a professional to do our ceremony because I have been to many weddings where it was obvious the person had never officiated a wedding before, and I made a huge mistake by choosing Brian. He turned our ceremony into a joke. From the “can I get a yay!” From the crowd and chucking his cane as he walked down the isle. The whole thing was embarrassing and what people talk about as a negative from my wedding. He also wanted to stand in front of the groomsmen instead of behind the bride and groom and was not happy and made things very uncomfortable on the rehearsal night when we asked him to stand behind us. Our venue recommended him to us that’s how we found him and I know for a fact the venue took him off of the recommendation list because our wedding coordination had such an issue with him. He did send us an outline of what he was going to say and the message was beautiful and on the wedding day he said the message along with many other theatricals and side notes that turned the ceremony into the laughing stock of our wedding day and that’s what is so disappointing to me. We were looking for a fun godly ceremony not a skit from Saturday night live. Do not recommend him unless you are VERY joking people

We are thankful that we were referred to Marriagechaplain.com by our event coordinator. We loved our initial choice, Ron Esposito, but a last-minute illness lead us to Debra Meyers who provided us with a beautiful and seamless ceremony. Thankful for the rapid response and flexibility of this vendor in ensuring our wedding went off without a hitch. Thank you!

I don't understand if this company treats everyone the same or if I'm just the lucky one. I originally reached out to this company on April 16th and received (what I believe is) an automated email on the same day. I responded to the email on April 16th asking if a certain officiant was available. no response. I followed up again on April 21st and received a response saying that that specific officiant wasn't available but they have many other options. I responded on the same day (April 21st) asking who they'd suggest. no response. I followed up again on April 27th. No response. Now it's September 12th and I still haven't received a response! I don't expect anyone to respond the day of, like I do, but waiting weeks for a response...and still not having one... is a bit excessive. It's been a month and I still don't have an officiant scheduled! Wedding planning is stressful enough without having a vendor ignore you for no reason at all.

Our officiant was amazing. Ron Esposito did a terrific job and was lovely to work with. Marriagechaplain.com itself was hard to work with at times. Had difficulty with response time and getting an officiant. We booked at a bridal show, requested the officiant we met with at the show, filled out paperwork and paid deposit. Had to follow up myself and by the time I got someone to respond the officiant we wanted was booked. Set meetings with 2 others. One of them didn't follow through. The other, Ron Esposito, was great. It all worked out but was a rough start. Also never heard from the office after the wedding. Kind of surprised they didn't care if things went well.

Marriage Chaplain paired us with Reverend Paul Ravenscraft, who was great through the entire process for us. Things we found helpful; a meeting months in advance to discuss our vision, length, and flow of the ceremony that gave us a sense of how we could plan out an entire schedule for the day. Directing our rehearsal as we hadn't had an opportunity to use the space to really plan ourselves ahead of time. Allowing us to add/modify anything we wanted into the ceremony to make it our own as a secular couple. And overall being just a fantastic person and guide for making something we expected to be stressful the day of into an easy going process that we will appreciate forever. Thanks again for everything Paul!

Reverend Jim Clark was awesome to work with. He was very easy going and very flexible. My daughter wanted her ceremony a certain way and he was very understanding and helpful. She decided she liked certain part of one service and another part on a different one. He combined them for her for a beautiful service. She wanted something that was short and sweet and he delivered that for us. Can't go wrong if you go with him. Thank you so much!

Best place in town to secure an officiant, particularly if your situation is nonconventional.

We felt an instant connection meeting Pastor Brian. You can tell he is versed in officiating ceremonies. There are canned impersonal vows you hear. But then there is Brian Eastman’s version. He is dynamic, inclusive of everyone present, has a bellowing infectious laugh that pulls you in. He is great on communicating what you need and is willing to listen to your needs. After just a few emails sent out to him, I knew Pastor Brian was for us. I liked his theatrical presence yet godly touch to our ceremony. You are were an integral orchestrator for our big day. I only wish I got through my own vows without any tears shedding.

Ria was amazing! We absolutely loved working with her! She was fun and kept us relaxed throughout the process. Working with her made our wedding planning so much more personal than we ever imagined! In the end, we had a ceremony that was PERFECTLY tailored to us. And Ria did an excellent job officiating. Everyone complimented us on how wonderful our wedding was. Ria even made sure our rehearsal ran smoothly, and ensured that everyone knew where they needed to be. She went above and beyond to make sure our ceremony was exactly what we wanted, and she was such a pleasure to work with! We would recommend her to anyone looking for a personalized wedding experience!

Rev. Amber Nuhn was our wedding officiant our October 7, 2017 wedding. She was AMAZING!!! We were given several officiants to interview after our first conversation with Rev Ria Roth. Once we spoke to Amber via phone email and text we didn't feel the need to speak with anyone else. We were both really happy with what Amber was offering for our wedding. She asked what we wanted and how she could make it perfect for us. She left us in total control and offered plenty of feedback. She wrote out our whole ceremony and changed as much and as little as we asked. She was responsive and very prompt. She made herself available to us through email, text and phone calls. She worked so well with our wedding party and our families. She made the rehearsal process so easy the night before and totally calmed my nerves about the unknown. The day of the wedding she was there early and came to find us to ensure everything was ready to go and she made it a smooth day. Rev. Amber gave us ideas to include our kids in the ceremony and we LOVED them. We did a sand ceremony and it was the best thing we did. The kids felt so involved and it was a great memory to have. We had total trust in everything that Amber helped us with. She added a few things on the day of for the sand ceremony and we didn't even question the changes. They turned out better than expected. Thank you so much Marriage Chaplin for connecting us with Rev. Amber Nuhn.

Not being a member of a church in the city where I was getting married, I reached out to Marriage Chaplain to find an officiant. Reverand Ria Roth was coordinating the chaplain assignments, and from the moment we spoke on the phone, I knew she was the one. Ria is warm, kind, and professional. Our ceremony was exactly what I had envisioned, and I couldn't be happier. She helped us plan the ceremony and offered suggestions for readings and all of the other details that go into planning the ceremony. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a heartfelt marriage celebration that is tailored to your exact vision and desires.

Ria was our wedding officiant this September. I met her after calling Marriage Chaplain to find a good "fit" for our wedding. After speaking with her, I knew I wouldn't have to interview anyone else (and we didn't!) Ria is warm, an excellent listener, motivated, creative, and has so many life experiences that have led her to be an inspired, professional, creative officiant. I felt comfortable inviting her to our rehearsal dinner and wedding, because, truly, she quickly became a friend! When we began working on our ceremony, Ria sent us several less common readings, passages, and layouts. She listened to what we were looking for, and when I told her I wanted a unique unity aspect of our wedding, she delivered! We designed three drafts of our ceremony, and Ria never complained. Everything was so smooth and perfectly executed the day of. I am thankful for Ria's insight and kindness as she stood beside us on our wedding day. She is a special person, and we highly recommend her! Thank you, Ria!

just wanted to write you and tell you how very pleased we were with Reverend Hawley Todd officiating our May 21 wedding! My husband and I went back-and-forth for a while trying to decide whether to have a friend officiate the wedding or leave it to a professional. While we were debating I researched professional officiant and found your website through the night and read Reverend Todd's bio and knew right then and there that he was the perfect person to officiate our wedding! Words cannot express the joy we feel that he was available to share in the beginning of our new life together. It was a perfect day we will never forget! We will have a lasting memory of his generosity and kindness and were very happy that he was a part of our celebration. Warmest regards, Mike and Lauren Lewis

We had Ria officiate our ceremony, and it was perfect. I knew that I wanted her to officiate our ceremony after our initial phone call; she is very personable, and she had no problems with officiating a nonreligious ceremony. My ceremony was short and sweet, just like we wanted it. Also, they are very very quick to get back to you which is something I really appreciate.

Review of Father Chuck Smith My husband and I really lucked out when our contact at Drees Pavilion referred us to WeddingChaplain.com. Pastor Eastman did a wonderful job talking to us so that he could best identify the ideal minister for our wedding. Based on those conversations, Pastor Eastman pretty quickly indicated that Father Chuck Smith well may be a perfect match for us. Boy, was he right! As soon as we met him, we could tell that Father Chuck is both a good and holy man, who not only talks the talk but walks the walk. The fact that he had a history with the Roman Catholic Church appealed to me and my husband because I was raised Catholic, served as an altar boy, etc. We also knew Father Chuck’s history as a Franciscan would appeal to my Mom and others in our families. Far more importantly, Father Chuck made it clear from Day 1 that he welcomes all of us to his church and celebrated both our engagement and the recent Supreme Court decision affirming same-sex marriage. And, the fact that he is an outgoing Irishman certainly didn’t hurt! Father Chuck gladly attended our rehearsal and rehearsal dinner, and reviled in the festivities as our families had a few (or more) cocktails and told stories about us. To say that Father Chuck was a “hit” at our wedding would be a massive understatement. He truly made our wedding ceremony the amazing event that it was through his low-key humor, involvement of our guests in the ceremony, and his genuinely kind and wise words as he married us. We’ve had countless people mention how special and amazing the ceremony was, much to the credit of Father Chuck. We cannot thank Pastor Eastman enough for directing us to Father Chuck. Father Chuck made an indelible impression on us, our wedding and our wedding guests. We could not have asked for a better man to celebrate our wedding!

Pastor Wayne Holmes was wonderful. He was extremely accommodating from our initial visit till and including day of ceremony. We wanted a nice, romantic, yet atheist and non-cheesy wedding ceremony and he provided just that. I am agnostic any my now hubby is a stanch atheist, so it was very important for both of us to have a lovely wedding while keeping "god" or anything else out of it except our feelings for one another. Pastor Holmes delivered exactly as I could have hoped for with a meaningful but non-religious ceremony. Thank you!!!

Pastor Brian Eastman was our officiant and he was amazing! He engaged our guests and had them laughing at times. We received so many kind words from our guests about our ceremony thanks to Pastor Eastman! Would highly recommend to any bide and groom!

MarriageChaplain.com was easy to work with. They were quick to respond and very helpful with the process. They gave us an quick and thorough survey, and based on made several good recommendations for officiates. The top one they recommended - Rev. Todd - was the person we ended up selecting. He was a great fit and Rev. Todd was absolutely wonderful! He was helpful in providing great suggestions for the ceremony and for also incorporating some of our ideas and desires to make the ceremony feel personalized and a perfect fit for my wife and I. He was fast to follow up and stayed in good communication. He was friendly, warm, and very easy to get to know. He also had fantastic ideas for helping to incorporate my children from a prior marriage into the ceremony, which was very important to me. The day of the rehearsal and the wedding he showed up on time and well prepared. He confidently and easily guided us through the rehearsal and ceremony. On the day of the ceremony he helped put us both at easy, and conducted a beautiful and fantastic ceremony. He also interacted very well with my children and the family / wedding party of both bride and groom. We received compliments on both Rev Todd and the ceremony from many attendees. Everyone in both families and the wedding party were thrilled with Rev Todd. I would and will highly recommend both MarriageChaplain.com and Rev. Todd to family and friends looking for an officiate.

I have to honestly say that Reverend Ria made our little ceremony. We chose the 'mixing of the waters' wedding as I am from the West and my bride from the East. Reverend Ria's recitation of the ceremony had all of us, myself included in tears. It was a joyous occasion and she made it that much more special. My boss, who attended, still talks about it! If you are looking for an Officiant, choose Reverend Ria! 5 stars!!

We found Reverend Ria Roth through marriagechaplain.com. From the moment we met her, we both agreed she was the perfect officiant for us. Ria is genuine, kind, & funny. During the months leading up to our wedding we met with her for pre-marriage discussions. Not only did she help us learn new things about each other but she also became our friend. Ria is a very talented officiant. She took time to learn about us and then helped us put together a personal and meaningful ceremony. She is dependable and thoughtful. We would recommend Ria to anyone for their wedding!

My husband and I chose Reverend Ria Roth as our officiant for our recent wedding. We are from different denominations and describe ourselves as "spiritual but not religious." We wanted a ceremony that reflected that and we found Ria to be the perfect person for the job. Ria took time in the months before our wedding to get to know us and our preferences. She was open to our suggestions for a ceremony style and worked with us to create a truly meaningful and beautiful service. Many of our guests were very touched by our ceremony and commented repeatedly as to how beautiful it all really was. I know that as the bride and groom we took her words to heart and won't forget the advice. We highly recommend Ria to other couples in the greater Dayton area and recommend that she get five stars for being the best officiant we could have chosen. Sincerely and with gratitude, Laurie and Keith Westheimer

Rev Ria Roth brought so much personal attention n commitment to my sons ceremony. Her caring approach to giving the bride and groom the ceremony they desired was very appreciated and many guests commented on how beautiful , personal and authentic the ceremony was. Thank u rev Roth for helping to make this day truly amazing

My husband and I were married October 4, 2014. We were lucky enough to find Ria Roth as an officiant. We just wanted a small private ceremony with only my children and their 'plus 1' in attendance. We weren't sure, when I initially contacted Ria, where we were going to have the ceremony. Even though it was private, we wanted it to be special and represent our personalities and love. Ria stayed so flexible and offered up suggestions while we were deciding. We finally narrowed it down to Yellow Springs, OH. Our plan was to have it outdoors in one of the beautiful parks. Ria stayed in contact with us, helping us plan the ceremony, making sure the language and spirit of our promises were true with who we are. She was open, patient and willing to do whatever made our day special (even if that meant a hike on a cold October day). The hour of our marriage arrived and so did the cold, cold wind and rain. I frantically called around until I found a space above a wine shop willing to let us in. Ria didn't know her final destination until she was minutes out of town. When she arrived, she came with hidden layers under her robe, ready to be warm and prepared for whatever venture she was in store for. What a trooper! When we made it to our "room"...that's exactly what is was: a room above a store. The only thing missing to make it a storage area were the boxes. The space was awkward at first...but it quickly warmed up. Ria's light-heartedness and blessings made the space feel sacred and perfect. As Ria moved us into the ceremony, the room disappeared. Our ceremony was beautiful!! Afterwards, Ria joined us in the cold wind and mist for outdoor photos. I don't know if we could have found an officiant more " up for it" or more importantly, as comforting and genuine as Ria. One more thing worth mentioning.... My children are 'uniquely oriented', my oldest son and daughter both have same sex partners. The young man who my youngest son invited (who is like another child to us) is a 6'6" black homosexual who wore a band of daisies in his hair. This group may make the best of you uncomfortable...but when I went to mention the obvious to Ria, before I could get my whole sentence out, she stopped me and said "when I look around this room, all I see is beauty" and I believe that's what she saw. Later that night my husband and I were reflecting on the crazy day and how wonderful it had turned out, when he thanked me for taking the time to find Ria. We both agreed she was perfect for the job! Thank you Ria Roth for a day that will last a lifetime! Tami and Michael McNutt

Reverend Ria Roth did a wonderful job officiating our wedding. She made us both feel so comfortable during the ceremony. We definitely recommend her!

It was wonderful to work with Reverend Ria Roth. We wanted to have a simple ceremony that would capture our love for each other. We talked with Reverend Ria on the phone prior to our ceremony. She showed great interest in our relationship and how we met. The ceremony turned out great. It was a pleasure to have Ria Roth as our officiant, we couldn't of been more happy with her. Thank you again Ria! Tasha and John Mason, Ohio Married April 2014

Reverend Ria was an excellent choice as an officiant for our wedding. We wanted to have a simple ceremony that created a joyous atmosphere and a more laid back tone. We met with Reverend Ria before our wedding to discuss the details of our wedding. She showed a great interest in the story of how we met and got a sense of what was important to us in our lives. We were especially happy with Reverend Ria because she respected our decisions and gave us valuable input to make our wedding ceremony the way we had envisioned it. On our wedding day the ceremony went off without a hitch and everyone complemented our service. The nonjudgmental, passionate, and holistic approach Reverend Ria took in creating and delivering our ceremony made it truly special for us. Reverend Ria helped us have an incredible wedding and we are sure she will continue to provide the same great service for other couples in the future. Thank you Reverend Ria! Kevin and Kimberly Dayton, Ohio Married August 11, 2012

My husband and I are of two different religions and we wanted someone who would give us a meaningful, spiritual ceremony. When we first met Ria, we knew she was the one. We clicked instantly and everything that she said coincided with our vision for the wedding. We talked for an hour and a half and we were in love! Ria met with us throughout the time before the wedding and made sure the ceremony was everything we wanted. When we were having family issues she prayed for us and I swear it helped! At the rehearsal, she got everyone on track and made sure everyone knew where they were supposed to be. The day of the wedding, Ria kept us calm. The ceremony was everything we dreamed of. We laughed and we cried. To this day we are still getting compliments on the ceremony. We give Ria a rating of 5/5 stars for her amazing work and her willingness to go above and beyond to make our wedding incredible. Ria is one of the most amazing people you will ever meet and she will be a friend for life. I am forever grateful to her and all she did for us to make our wedding the most special day for us. We love you Ria!!

Ria Roth was our wedding officiant last year. The second we met Ria we fell in love. She is such a caring and kind person. It was very important to my husband and me that our ceremony felt personal and intimate and Ria made that happen. She helped me with ideas for our ring vows and readings and was always willing to go above and beyond to make us feel special. I truly feel like Ria became a friend to us both in such a short period of time. She is easy to talk to, professional, punctual, and upbeat and was well prepared for our ceremony. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to share such a special moment with us. Thank you Ria. You are truly an amazing person.

My husband and I used Marriage Chaplain and were introduced to Ria Roth. We fell in love with her! She is down to earth, relatable, professional, and takes to heart all of the bride and grooms' wishes to deliver a perfect ceremony. We highly recommend Ria!

Having our vows renewed by Ria Roth was more meaningful and special than our 'real' wedding ceremony 10 years ago. She really got to know us as a couple and took the time to capture the true essence of our marriage. She listened to what we truly wanted in a ceremony and wrote the most beautiful, touching, vow exchange I have ever heard. I loved the flexibility we had of having her come to us, which was in the middle of the woods in a very beautiful setting. We got to go somewhere we loved and felt connected to each other, her, and nature. She helped us take our marriage to a whole new level and sealed our ceremony with a beautiful blessing of our rings and us as a couple. I highly recommend Ria and her services. I am so thankful for her beauty and her spirit and that she brought just pure love and light to a very sacred ceremony. It will be something I forever treasure

I have had the pleasure of being in two weddings planned and coordinated by Allison Barnes. Both have been nothing short of amazing. Flawlessly planned, beautifully decorated, and the folks getting married have always said she was a blast to work with. If you want a good wedding, go see Allison Barnes. If you want a bad wedding, go see anyone else.

We ended up booking with Marriage Chaplain because of the price and the ability to select out of many officiants. We had read Frieda's profile and decided she seemed like what we wanted. She did not want to travel to Dayton to meet with us or have us travel to Cincinnati so she suggested we just have a phone meeting. That was fine but we didn't really cover much information and it was a very short phone call. I was hesitant but figured I could just write the ceremony myself and what could go wrong? I sent her exactly what we wanted and she made a few small changes, no big deal. But then when we had the rehearsal, the only thing we rehearsed was walking down the aisle. She seemed like she was in a hurry and the whole thing only lasted about 5 minutes, we didn't cover any details of the ceremony. Also she kept forgetting our names and would get lost and confused about the order we were walking down the aisle. The day of the wedding I was panicking because she didn't show up until 10 minutes before the ceremony, barely leaving time to get her microphone on and get set up. Then during the ceremony she seemed lost and confused again, and even skipped one part, saying out loud that she missed a section and had to go back. After her forgetting our names several times at the rehearsal I was terrified she would forget or announce the wrong names during the ceremony! Luckily she had the whole script on her kindle. After the ceremony, she left. I was disappointed that she didn't seem to care about our ceremony at all and she wanted to be at the rehearsal and ceremony as little time as possible.

Selecting Pastor Brian Eastman, associated with MarriageChaplain.com, is the BIGGEST MISTAKE you can make. During our in-person meeting, I emphasized to Pastor Eastman that I’d put my heart into piecing together our ceremony. Closer to our wedding, he had taken out several parts, namely a prayer that was important to me, and I asked that it be added back in. However, on our wedding day, that prayer was never said. I asked that he go through the ceremony during our rehearsal. He told me, that, ‘no he did not do that, would not do that,’ and that I ‘needed to stop trying to control everything.’ Sure enough, the evening of our rehearsal he spent two minutes telling the bridal party how to line up, REFUSED to even do a QUICK run through of our ceremony and left after being there a total of five minutes. Pastor Eastman began our ceremony as if it were a CIRCUS, and he was the ring master. He even wore a rainbow scarf to complete his ensemble. Immediately after my dad kissed my cheek, Pastor Eastman smirked loudly and said ‘Don’t trip over her dress now,’ which I found extremely distasteful. Then he made sure to let ALL of our guests know that he ‘was not our Pastor, and agreed to marry us after we contracted him.’ During our ceremony, Pastor Eastman did not stand at the head of my husband and I, but gravitated towards the side, at least 10 feet away from us. This not only made it impossible for my husband to see him without having to turn his whole body away from me, but also shifted the audience attention completely away from the two people getting married. Just as Pastor Eastman was going to announce us, he said ‘Husbands Name, you may now….OH WAIT, I have an announcement. There will be refreshments inside after the ceremony. Okay now, Husband’s Name, you may kiss your bride,’ interrupting our pronouncement to let everyone know there were refreshments. Following our wedding day, almost two weeks later, my husband and I called the court to ensure our paperwork had been filed so we were legally married. Turns out, Pastor Eastman, who knew I’d been upset about our ceremony, had been holding our paperwork and REFUSED to send it in. It was only after he realized the legal repercussions of not filing our paperwork that he actually did so. During this entire process Pastor Eastman did not once take into account our feelings, wishes or even try to work with us on creating the perfect ceremony for US. I HIGHLY advise you against selecting Pastor Eastman, or using any of his services, as he proved to us through the aforementioned, that he is an undeniably arrogant, rude and selfish man.

Pastor Eastman was very professional, funny and great to work with. He really made us feel special, he took so much time to meet up with us to personalize our ceremony, and work over and revise every detail until it was perfect. The Marriage Chaplain staff was friendly when I was making appointments with him, too. I feel that overall my experience with Pastor Brian Eastman and Marriage Chaplain was perfect. I couldn't have asked for a better ceremony!

Father Chuck was great, he walked us through the entire event. He was organized and had exellent comunication. I would recomend him to anyone.

Our ceremony, which is the most important part, was perfect! We sent in a ceremony we made up and our pastor went with it and added something's to help with flow and to make it truly our own. He really made it a memorable experience that we will never forget!

Me and my husband did not have an officiant for our wedding and it was quickly approaching. I didn't know what to do so I got on the internet and did some research and I found marriagechaplain.com. Thank God I found this website. It was easy to use and the people were incredibly nice and understanding (and well priced). They set me up with Pastor Alexander McEntire and after a minute of just talking about him on the phone I knew we had found the right Pastor for us! He did everything we asked of him and then some (he even met up with us at our ceremony site to discuss some things a couple weeks before the wedding). Him and his wife actually came to our reception and celebrated with us! A lot of people told me how awesome of a job and how much they liked him. I honestly believe that we didn't find someone earlier for a reason- because God knew that he was our best option! I highly recommend him and this website!!

Pastor Eastman made our wedding a memorable and special event. He brought compassion, humor and heart to our ceremony to make it unlike any other wedding we've ever attended. He made the ceremony unique and personal to us. He had people laughing and crying at the same time. Friends said it was the best wedding they'd ever attended (other than their own, of course)...and we owe it all to Pastor Eastman! He is a true professional and a wonderful pastor. I would recommend him to any couple who is looking for a pastor with personality who can help make their wedding everything they want it to be!

Pastor Eastman, Thank you SO much for everything. Our ceremony was just amazing! It was short and to the point, but very sweet and everything we could have asked for! Thank you Pastor Eastman. It was a perfect day we will never forget and It all went so well we barely noticed how nervous we were!

Huge thank you to marriagechaplain.com for their role in our wedding! My husband and I do not regularly attend church and did not have a chaplain to preside over our wedding. We found marriagechaplain.com via The Knot and loved that we could read the different officiants profiles and find someone that fit our personalities. The office staff was courteous and easy to work with. We scheduled interviews with the officiants profiles we liked and found Reverend Wayne Holmes. Rev. Holmes was perfect for our secular, non-traditional wedding. Rev. Holmes helped us to create a outstanding and unique ceremony that we will never forget. He was creative and funny and we will never be able to thank him enough for the most perfect wedding!!

My husband and I didn't want a religious ceremony, but we still wanted a quality ceremony (not just justice of the peace)...so officiants were hard to come by. Finding Marriage Chaplain was great! They do all sorts of wedding ceremonies as needed. We were "paired up" with Pastor Brian Eastman. He was great with understanding what we wanted and didn't want in our ceremony. Were were able to come up with a great ceremony personalized to us! They have so many options, it was a great way to find an officiant!

Pastor Eastman helped make our ceremony one of a kind. He involved our guests giving them a personal connection to our ceremony. I loved it. I felt that each person there was personally involved in our marriage ceremony. He made our ceremony unique to us and incorporated my husband's daughter into the ceremony. I loved having Pastor Eastman officiate the wedding ceremony and thankful for all that he did.

My husband and I tried to get married outdoors with our catholic church, but that was not allowed. Then we decided to try our luck searching for a Reverend to marry us in an outdoor Christian ceremony using the MarriageChaplain. Things happen for a reason, right?! We could not have been happier with EVERYTHING! The selection process with MarriageChaplain was smooth, efficient, and we ended up with the perfect match in Rev. Eyre. He was incredibly personable, utilized some great counseling tools (that were light and fun--but also had hard-hitting topics we worked through), and shared some wonderful insight and tips to a long-lasting marriage. He is even super trendy with technology: my husband travels quite a bit, so we held a few sessions via skype and facetime to accommodate my husband's schedule. We feel truly blessed and thankful that Rev. Eyre came into our lives and left such a positive, personable experience for my husband and I--as well as our wedding guests--to remember. This fit could not have been possible without the MarriageChaplain's services.

Great for those who are quirky or off center and see relavence in spirituality (non0denominational). He is sooo much fun and your guests will ove him too. He is also very prompt at returning the marriage license to the city.

Pastor Eastman saved our wedding day after another officiant flaked out on us last minute. We picked a ceremony he already had typed up and he incorporated everything that was important to us. A little bit on the expensive side but he did a nice job. The only thing I wish we would have done is rehearse a little more but we rolled with the punches and had a day that we will both cherish forever.

After searching everywhere to find a wedding officiant for my ceremony I came across marriagechaplain.com. It seemed like a great idea because they have many different people to choose from. After trying to get in touch with them I heard nothing back. I emailed and called several times and finally got to speak to a person. No one that I spoke to on the phone was not pleasant and seemed to care less about my wedding. I should have known then to use someone else, but the officiant i ended up finding through them seemed perfect, so i was stuck. After many more calls i was finally able to give them my credit card number over the phone for a deposit. I didn't hear anything else from them for a few weeks and then I got a call asking for my deposit. When I called back and told them I already had they had no idea where my credit card number was! After having suspicious charges on the card I even had to get a new card and number! They claim that the number that was written down with all my information on paper never left the mans house that had it, but i don't believe that for a minute. It was a waste of time to use this company and it just made things even more hectic and stressful the couple weeks before my wedding. I would never recommend this company to anyone I know for fear that the same thing would happen to them.
