Ed Choy
Owner
On May 26 2001 I married my college sweetheart Laura, and we're blessed with 4 kids. Our wedding experience fuels my passion for serving couples, as we had an incredible officiant and coordinator. I am also passion about serving couples who do not have a church home. I started Premier Wedding Pastors in 2014. Your wedding is about your story and your values. I work hard to unpack that, making couples feel comfortable and even laugh (and at times cry) during their big day.

Pastor Ed was incredible to work with. Your wedding ceremony will be absolutely seamless with him as your officiant. We got *endless* compliments from people on how awesome our ceremony 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!

We had the absolute honor of having Pastor Ed officiate our wedding, and it was truly one of the highlights of the entire day. His presence brought such warmth, joy, and sincerity 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!!

Absolutely adored having Ed Choy as our pastor and officiant for our wedding! He was super helpful especially since we were planning a last minute elopement! He took the time to get to know us and made our wedding feel so personalized and unique. We had no idea where to start and he provided us guidelines on how to get everything done. He even drove 3 hours out of his way for our special day and we literally could not have had anyone better!

Highly, highly recommend! Pastor Ed officiated our wedding and elevated our experience! During the planning stages, Pastor Ed provided detailed documentation and thorough reviews of 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!

Premier Wedding Pastors (Pastor Joel, in particular) was the perfect fit for what my wife and I envisioned for our wedding. He was able to work with us to ensure our ceremony was exactly what we were looking for and was extremely helpful in guiding us when we didn't quite know what we wanted. The ceremony went off without a hitch and we could not be happier with the role Pastor Joel played in our special day!

Pastor Erik Evenson truly helped make our ceremony perfect in every way. From the weeks leading up to our big day, the rehearsal, to wedding day, Erik was always professional, easy to work with, and simply a great person to officiate our wedding. He helped us craft our ceremony to be unique to us and exactly what we wanted. Everyone enjoyed the ceremony and we received many compliments on it from our guests after the wedding! I highly recommend Pastor Erik!

5 stars really isn't enough to describe how great Ed Choy was. My husband and I did the premarital counseling sessions with him as well and every time we met with him it was like we were talking to a friend. He really knew what to say and listened to us and what we wanted out of our wedding ceremony. He was very organized in putting everything together which helped us out a ton. Our guests also have not stopped raving about how incredible he was! We couldn't recommend him enough. We promise you will absolutely love working with him for your special day!

Pastor Erik was so wonderful to work with in preparation for our wedding!
He checked in with us a good amount of times to ensure that we had the support we needed, offering countless 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.

Ed was one of our best vendors! We received many compliments after our ceremony about Ed’s energy and flow of the ceremony. We paid for his pre-marital counseling sessions and got 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!

We feel incredibly fortunate to have been referred to Ed Choy. Pastor Ed Choy's premarital counseling was an invaluable part of our wedding journey. His sessions were not just informative but deeply insightful, helping us navigate important conversations about our future together. He created a safe space for us to explore our expectations, values, and communication styles, equipping us with tools that continue to strengthen our relationship long after the wedding day.
As our officiant, Pastor Ed Choy brought a wonderful blend of warmth and professionalism to our ceremony. Ed's attention to detail and calming presence made our wedding day stress-free and truly special. He tailored every aspect of the ceremony to reflect our story, creating a memorable and meaningful experience for us and our guests. His positive energy and genuine care for his couples shine through in everything he does. For anyone seeking a meaningful wedding and a supportive guide through the journey of marriage, Ed Choy is without a doubt the perfect choice.

Pastor Ed was incredible to work with! My now husband and I were in a bit of a pinch as we had 2 officiants back out on us just a couple months before our wedding. I reached out to 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!

We had the opportunity to have Pastor Joel as our officiant and marriage counselor, and we were incredibly happy with both experiences. Pastor Joel took time to get to know us and 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!

He understood where we were coming from and what we wanted for our ceremony. He was able to guide us to put together the ceremony that was unique to us and performed our ceremony keeping who we are in mind. Our family and friends LOVED him too!

We had a wonderful experience using Ed Choy as our officiant for our April 2024 wedding. We were nervous about finding an officiant because we wanted the ceremony to feel intimate 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.

Pastor Ed did an incredible job as our officiant. He customized the wording for our ceremony to fit our unique story. He took the time to know our back story and let us ask questions 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.

My husband and I really wanted to find a pastor we could get to know well before our ceremony so it all felt comfortable and personal. So after talking Pastor Ed and feeling like we clicked, we decided to have him officiate our wedding and to do several pre marital sessions with him before our big day. We couldn’t have been happier with the experience! We were always very excited for our pre marital talks and getting to hang out with Pastor Ed was both fun and helpful to our relationship. We really enjoyed having him as part of our ceremony and knowing him personally made us feel more at ease and made the ceremony feel more special. Highly recommend!

Pastor Erik was truly amazing. He took the time to get to know us, stayed in touch a ton leading up to our wedding, and delivered a beautiful, thoughtful and meaningful ceremony for us. It poured rain during our wedding and even still, he did an incredible job. We can't thank Pastor Erik enough for EVERYTHING!

We had the pleasure of having Pastor Erik as the officiant for our wedding, and we couldn't have been happier with our choice. Pastor Erik was not only professional and well-prepared, but also warm and personable. He took the time to get to know us as a couple and incorporated personal touches into the ceremony that made it truly special. His ability to capture our love story and deliver a heartfelt ceremony left a lasting impression on us and our guests. We highly recommend Pastor Erik for anyone looking for a wedding officiant who will make their special day even more memorable. Ebube & Miriam.

Our wedding was on 06-23-23 and Pastor Ed did such a phenomenal job as our officiant. Pastor Ed took his time to get to know us and made us feel important. All my guests were commenting on what an amazing job Pastor Ed did. The ceremony was absolutely beautiful. If you desire a beautiful ceremony, Pastor Ed is the person to contact.

Ed was fantastic. We threw him a curve ball with less than 30 days notice of our wedding ceremony, but it did not diminish any part of the experience. He was quick to meet with us, showed genuine care for our story, help us with composing the perfect ceremony wording, and executed flawlessly on our wedding day. My favorite part of working with Ed was his genuine excitement and joy for our wedding. He didn't feel like a vendor, he felt like a longtime friend. It's an easy decision - it's a YES to hire Ed to perform your wedding ceremony. Don't need to look any further.

Pastor Erik was absolutely amazing! My husband was previously married with 2 children. Pastor Erik wonderfully incorporated the kids and our journey into our ceremony. It was a brilliant mixture of touching moments which made people laugh and even cry!

Unnati I am so sorry that I was cutting it close for your ceremony. This is the first time...
I have ever received less than 5 stars. I trust you were otherwise happy with my services and the timing was not a significant impact to the ceremony/day. It was an honor to serve you and Sajal. If there is anything I can do for you in the future don't hesitate to reach out.
