Reverend Bill created the wedding ceremony of our dreams. From the moment we met Reverend Bill via Zoom, we knew he was the perfect officiant for our wedding. His calming, positive energy, and totally customizable wedding kit, made the planning process easy. Our ceremony was the perfect length and was filled with such joy. Reverend Bill was amazing to work with. He gave us advice on the day of our wedding and helped to calm our nerves. We have so much gratitude for Reverend Bill and his part in our special day. We also got a lot of compliments from guests on our ceremony! We cannot recommend him enough!

special. He also made the process easy by providing us with various wedding ceremony verbiage options that we were able to customize to our liking. He also made the process easy for us by dropping our marriage license off with the courthouse the next day after our ceremony. I would definitely recommend Rev. Bill to any future brides!

Rev Bill was amazing! We recently got married on 5/17 and when searching for someone to officiate our wedding, as soon as we met him, we knew he was perfect for the job! He is so f...
riendly, easy-going and is VERY organized. He arrived to our venue early and even had cards for us to read printed out for us during the ceremony. He shapes the ceremony to exactly what you want and gives you tons of options on how the ceremony will go. He got to know us as people after video chatting with us a few times. He made things a breeze for us. We had such a nice wedding and we couldn’t thank Reverend Bill enough. He is amazing!

We would highly recommend!
