ssional with a great mix of humor as well. He genuinely cares about the couples he works with. 

our guests told us how much they loved it. We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant!

s and admiration from our wedding guests as well who enjoyed how Ed conducted the ceremony. We could not have been happier with Ed and highly recommend him for any other couple. It is clear he genuinely cares about the couples he marries!

omforting presence to our ceremony, and his words made it truly personal and meaningful. During our rehearsal, he was patient and reassuring, which helped everything run smoothly. From our first conversation to the wedding day, Pastor Ed made us feel completely at ease. We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant—highly recommend him!

t with. We chose to meet with Ed first. Our Zoom interview with him was such a good experience, we nixed our plans to interview anyone else. We knew Ed was the officiant for us. We needed an officiant in MD to marry us privately before we headed out to do our celebration with family and friends in another state. Ed gave us reasonable pricing options and we chose to have him come to our home. We communicated via email in the months leading up to our ceremony. He was always responsive. He offered to speak as much or as little as we desired at the ceremony. About a month before our ceremony, we ran into Ed at a trail race. He recognized us even though we'd only had one 30 minute Zoom call several months earlier. It was great to interact with him about running and to meet his wife. Ed came to our home for our ceremony the morning after a day and night of steady rain. We planned to go to a stream behind our house to make it official. Ed arrived wearing a suit and dress shoes. I asked him if he minded walking down to the stream where it might be muddy. He gave an upbeat response saying he was into it. We talked for awhile in our house before heading down to the stream. Great conversation about a wide variety of topics from running to family to life. All casual and relaxed. We headed down to the stream. Ed said some words about marriage. He asked about the significance of the stream. He created a vibe where we could be open about life. It was beautiful at all times. While he did express words that he had prepared, he spent most of his time off script, completely in the moment. That is exactly what we wanted. Everything he said was perfect. After we exchanged vows and kissed, he took pictures of us. It was just the three of us. It was a perfect experience. Ed is an outstanding officiant and a great dude. I hope to stay in touch with him through the years. I believe many people who have worked with Ed will feel the same way.

provided many samples, examples from prior weddings. He made it stress free and met with us several times to go over details and a very detailed plan for the day of the wedding. He was a joy to work with and we would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an easy stress free experience for their wedding day. He was sweet, caring , and has a great sense of humor! cannot recommend pastor choy enough!! amazing!!

ss. We decided to sign up for the pre martial coaching and we are so happy we did. It gave us an opportunity to get to know Pastor Ed for almost a year before our wedding, which made our ceremony very special. We would 100% recommend Pastor Ed to anyone looking for someone who will honor your story and deliver a ceremony that truly feels like you. Thank you Pastor Ed for being such a special part of our day!

ony personal and meaningful. He took the time to get to know us, listened to our story, and crafted a ceremony that felt completely authentic to who we are as a couple. His calm and reassuring presence helped ease our nerves, and his delivery on the day was heartfelt, articulate, and full of warmth. Many of our guests commented on how touching and well-paced the ceremony was. If you're looking for someone who will bring sincerity, thoughtfulness, and a touch of grace to your big day, we wholeheartedly recommend Erik Everson. We feel so lucky to have had them as part of such an important moment in our lives.

onal. He set up a Zoom meeting with us to get to know our vision for the ceremony and made sure every detail matched the tone and atmosphere we were hoping for—romantic, heartfelt, and a little fun too. Pastor Ed came fully prepared with a beautifully written script from beginning to end, yet he was also flexible, giving us options for readings and reviewing our personal vows to make sure everything felt authentic and true to us. He even attended our wedding rehearsal and took the lead in guiding everyone through the flow of the ceremony, which helped calm our nerves and made the big day feel seamless. During the ceremony itself, he was a true crowd-pleaser—warm, engaging, and incredibly supportive, not just to us, but to all our guests. Pastor Ed truly helped make our wedding ceremony special and memorable. If you’re looking for an officiant who is organized, supportive, and brings a perfect balance of joy and romance to your big day, Pastor Ed is the one!

to our ceremony. From the moment he began speaking, you could feel his amazing energy fill the room. He made us—and everyone in attendance—feel seen, loved, and connected! Pastor Ed took the time to understand our story, and his words reflected our journey in such a personal and meaningful way. Many of our guests came up to us afterward to say how touched they were by the ceremony! If you are looking for someone to officiate your wedding or any special event, I cannot recommend Pastor Ed enough. He truly has a gift, and we are so grateful he was a part of our big day!! Thanks Pastor Ed!!

f the process to ensure that we were on track. His resources and communication are top notch and his ability to weave our personal story and requests into his wonderful script made our ceremony special. On our wedding day, Pastor Ed arrived promptly, put us at ease, and conducted a beautiful ceremony. He even incorporated details from a pre-ceremony discussion on the fly! Each of our guests commented on our awesome officiant! Pastor Ed completed and submitted our paperwork, and took care of the details with such professionalism that we hardly had to do anything on our end. I reiterate my strong recommendation that you choose Pastor Ed and his team at Premier Wedding Pastors for your wedding!

emony was. That is not common, since ceremonies are known to be pretty boring. He is extroverted, contagiously happy, and joyful. We signed up for the coaching sessions too, which we highly recommend. You want to start marriage off on the right foot. Those sessions helped form the foundation of our marriage. Pastor Ed was an excellent facilitator, mentor, and teacher in those sessions!

ss advice in perfecting our vows and ceremony. We really appreciated his gentle guidance to making sure we strike a good balance between customizing it to how we’d like and ensuring our family and friends can also feel part of the ceremony. It was a rainy day but Pastor Erik made sure everything went smoothly without any problems during our ceremony, and he was so thoughtful to all our requests to really make it feel like it was our special day.

. This really helped to ease our nerves on such an important day!

to know Ed prior to the big day, he was always prepared with talking points and opened up great conversation. Leading up to the big day, Ed had multiple templates available where we could customise and tailor to our liking. After meeting with him once we to discuss ceremony details we were set! It was great to see how prepared Ed was and how easy he made the ceremony planning. We hope to keep in touch with Ed in the future, he played an important part to our big day!

Premier Wedding Pastors through The Knot and Pastor Ed responded within the hour, answered all my questions quickly, and scheduled an intro meeting for later that week. We booked him about 1 minute after the intro meeting. He is personable, has great energy, and truly cares about your wedding and making it perfect for you. He was extremely flexible with our schedule and the time we had before the wedding. He offers tons of resources and advice to help you plan your perfect ceremony. He put our mind at ease through the whole process. Rehearsal went very smoothly and he walks you through everything you need to know for your big day. Our ceremony was absolutely perfect, it was everything we dreamed of and Pastor Ed played a HUGE part in that. So many of our guests came up to me after and said how much they loved our officiant. He really feels like family now! I could not recommend him or Premier Wedding Pastors more!

ltimately helped deliver a very special day for my wife and I. We couldn't have been happier!

our story, and created a beautiful ceremony catered to what we were looking to share on our wedding day. Throughout and after the wedding, we got numerous compliments on how wonderful Pastor Joel's words were at the ceremony, and we couldn't have been happier with how it turned out. He is also very organized, which was helpful amidst the chaos of wedding planning. We are also happy we took the time to do marriage counseling prior to our wedding. Pastor Joel is thoughtful, insightful, and provided us with wisdom and resources to start our new married life together - we would highly recommend! Overall, an amazing experience, and would recommend to everyone!

and a joy to work with, all around!

but didn't have a relationship with pastors in the area. Ed went above and beyond at every stage: from planning, to rehearsing, to the big day. He even ensured small details were planned and executed how we wanted them with the wedding coordinator. Everyone truly enjoyed the ceremony and Ed helped us execute it seamlessly.

ons to be as comfortable with him as possible. We had a small delay in starting but he was so patient and understanding. He approached us with an open mind and a positive attitude. Not only that but Pastor Ed is super knowledgeable of the Montgomery County area with loads of recommendations! This isn't my first time working with an officiant but it has been my favorite. Would highly recommend.

ter officiant. Thanks for making our big day so special! - The Saluter’s
