Rev. Glen @ Your Service

Reverend Glen was amazing. I am truly grateful that I found him to provide guidance and to officiate our wedding. FYI - He provides pre-marrital counseling, which then qualifies you for a discount on your marriage license. In all honesty, we looked forward to meeting with him each time! The classes help you cultivate a better understanding of each of other, improve communication, and conflict resolution. Our conversations with Reverend Glen were impactful, applicable and always enjoyable. He was very pleasant to talk to, always on time, prepared and helped us through the process. We were able to contribute by providing verses to read and he incorporated them for us. The customization made it personal. The day of our wedding he delivered an incredibly memorable service. Everyone was touched. I would highly recommend Reverend Glen for your upcoming wedding ceremony and his marriage counseling classes!

Reverend Glen was our officiant at our wedding in July of 2022 and went above and beyond for us. Rev. Glen has an honest, non biased, and open approach to the marriage journey and helped guide us through pre-marital counseling that we both found very beneficial. He shared his ideas and thoughts in a gentle and supportive way that we both were able to connect with. When it came time for the wedding he hit on all the key points and requests that we had for our wedding and made sure our guests knew our wishes as well. Rev. Glen was a constant professional and we were lucky to have him as part of our big day. We would recommend Rev. Glen to anyone looking for a wedding officiant!

If you want to have a perfect ceremony that you will cherish forever, hire Rev. Glen! We started working with Glen in October of 2019, we had to reschedule our wedding from October 2020 to October of 2021 and Glen was so supportive through it all. We enjoyed our premarital counseling sessions and it allowed us to take a deeper dive into our relationship as we prepared to start our married life together. Once we started planning the ceremony, Glen's experience was so helpful and the day of could not have gone better! We continue to hear from family and friends how wonderful and perfect our ceremony was and we have cherished the words that Glen spoke to us that day. Thank you Glen for providing us with such a beautiful start to our marriage, we are forever grateful!

Rev. Glen did an amazing job as our Wedding officiant! He is kind, genuine, and has a great sense of humor. We loved our marriage prep sessions with Glen, since it helped us get to know him and also gave us ideas for how to strengthen our marriage and keep it healthy. Glen made planning our ceremony easy and fun. He helped us focus on the things that mattered to us and personalized every aspect. He provided examples and ideas for readings, and was able to incorporate a mix of Christian and secular texts, which was important to us. We received so many compliments on the words Glen shared during the ceremony. He also led a rehearsal ceremony, which helped everyone in the wedding feel comfortable and confident. We would recommend Glen to anyone looking for an officiant. He is easy to work with, professional, flexible, and has a wealth of experience to meet your needs.

Glen was absolutely wonderful to work with! He really took the time to get to know my husband and me. The marriage counseling classes we did with Glen were really beneficial and all of the work Glen put into these classes really showed during our ceremony as he spoke about us as a couple. I would definitely recommend Glen to any newly engaged couple looking for an officiant! Thank you again, Glen!

He did an amazing job and personalized everything for us. He spent quality time with us. I would recommend him to anyone.

Glen is such a pleasure to work with! We enjoyed premarital counseling with him (even shared a few laughs) and had a wonderful ceremony. He truly cares about his clients and enjoys what he does. Very professional. Highly recommend to others!

Reverend Glen was so amazing to work with! He’s so kind, organized, flexible and very supportive. He has a great personality, he’s funny and but also brings that spiritual side that you’re looking for. We found the marriage prep meetings to be very helpful! He really gets to know you, so your ceremony is personalized, and not just a script. We are so happy that we were able to have him a part of our day!

Rev Glen was an absolute blessing to have for our day. He was able to step in and help my fiancé and I when our own church officiant unexpectedly fell through. He took the time to meet with us on several occasions prior to our wedding date and we ended up feeling a bond with him like we knew him for years! He helped create the most beautiful, unique, and personal ceremony and we loved doing premarital counseling with him as well. HIGHLY recommend Rev Glen.

Where to even start... As a covid bride it's safe to say that most aspects of our wedding did not go according to plan. We changed our date and our minds multiple times, and Glen was flexible and accommodating through it all. We eventually decided on a small ceremony with immediate family on our original wedding date. Looking back now I am so happy we made that choice. The ceremony Glen planned was perfect. He makes such a point to get to know you as a couple during the counseling sessions so that he can provide a special, personalized ceremony. He also offered to come back on our one year anniversary to do a ceremony before our reception so we are so excited to have that next May! All in all I can't recommend him enough. His communication is great, we love his sense of humor and he truly cares about each and every couple he works with. Thanks Glen!

Glen is one of the most genuine figures I have met. He is acceptive and supportive regardless of your religion, preference, color, or creed. During our time with Glen, we took the time to not only get to know him as an individual, but we also dove into personal aspects of our relationship about marriage and our future. Our wedding day was complicated by the COVID-19 pandemic, but not to worry, Glen was right there with us to help make sure our day was perfect no matter what we chose to do. His ceremony was well thought out, charismatic, and personal to us. I couldn't have asked for a better officiant!

Reverend Glen was a fantastic officiant for our wedding! My wife and I very much enjoyed the pre-marital councelling that Glen did with us. It was a great way to explore our relationship together and also to get to know Glen. He is so friendly and easy to talk to, he made the whole process wonderful and the ceremony was perfectly suited for us! He also was the officiant for my sister's wedding a couple years ago and did a fantastic job for them as well. I would absolutely recommend him! You will be in good hands as you and your fiancee join hands together :)

Reverend Glen was absolutely wonderful. We really wanted someone who emphasized premarital counseling and that we clicked with. Rev Glen gave us both of these. We met with him 3 times for counseling before the wedding. He also provided a full outline of his whole ceremony speech and we could add whatever we wanted to the ceremony. He was very easy to chat with and was a great addition to our wedding day. Thank you Rev Glen!

Glen was absolutely amazing, from the pre-marital counseling all the way through signing the marriage license. We felt like he took the time to really get to know me and my wife in the counseling sessions and that reflected in the words that he prepared for our wedding day. We would highly recommend him!

WE COULD NOT BE HAPPIER. Glen brought warmth, support, and grounded-ness during a stressful, yet exciting time. Glen's approach to premarital work is great and very informative. He shed light on things we thought we were already aware of, but was very encouraging and made things that we may have perceived as negative into positive opportunities. Glen's ceremony writing is beautiful. The words felt perfect for us and we could not imagine our ceremony lead by anyone else. We felt lost in our search for someone to officiate until we found Glen! Definitely recommend!

Ryan & I couldn't have asked for a better wedding ceremony! Glen was fantastic and he made the ceremony personable. We met a few times before the wedding and did a few sessions of marriage counseling. Prepare Enrich was a huge help for the two of us and helped us both have a better understanding of eachother. Glen was able to give us a non-judgemental space to talk freely of our results. Our guests all had many compliments on our ceremony!

It was such a great experience having Rev. Glen officiate our wedding. From doing his PREPARE program I felt we all really got to know each other, as well as gaining a better understanding of my partner and our dynamic. Premarriage counseling with Glen was actually fun! He prepared such a great ceremony service and his words were personal and heart felt. Many guests commented on how special and personal the ceremony felt and that meant so much to me because that is exactly what we wanted from our wedding from start to finish.

We had an excellent experience with Glen from premarital counseling to our actual ceremony. We did the prepare and enrich premarital counseling and it gave us the opportunity to see how we mesh as a couple and discuss potential issues. Also our ceremony was very structured and organized. Glen did a great job and our guests were talking about what a great job he did.

We cannot say enough great things about Rev Glen! My now husband and I searched for a long time and met with officiators and just couldn't find one we liked. We finally saw the reviews for Rev Glen on here and decided to reach out to him. Since my husband is Jewish and I am Christian, it was hard to find someone who could accommodate that. Not only did Rev Glen personalize our ceremony, he fulfilled all of our requests and executed flawlessly! We are forever grateful we chose him. Also, the marriage classes we took with him beforehand were amazing and helpful.

We can't say enough wonderful things about Glen!!!! We really enjoyed our pre-marital counseling which allowed Glen to get to know us a bit and really allowed him to personalize our ceremony. He was thoughtful in the words he spoke and always a joy to be around, we got a ton of compliments on him as well. If you're lucky enough to snag Glen and he's not already doing another wedding, we would highly recommend including him in your big day. Everything went perfect!

Reverend Glen was so great to work with! He helped us not only with the ceremony but get ready for the marriage with the premarital counseling. We had some Mexican traditions that we wanted to use and he gladly helped us personalize them. He helped us create the perfect ceremony! Thank you Reverend Glen!!!

Rev. Glenn was a kind man who did a great job of helping us find perspective on our future. He delivered a thoughtful and personalized service that he was very helpful in organizing. He took time to help us to see our strengths and areas of improvement as a couple. Rev. Glenn was very flexible with his time and did a nice job of working around our schedule. He was very personable which made opening up to him very easy and seemed to truly care that we as a couple were preparing ourselves for a lifetime together. We would highly recommend him.

Glen was absolutely amazing for our ceremony and the premarital counseling. My husband and I have different spiritual beliefs so we were looking for someone who could help us put together a ceremony that would fit us both. With very little direction from us he was able to create a ceremony that was extremely heart felt and personal. He met with us twice before the ceremony and really spent the time and effort to get to know Corey and I and help us talk to each other about the strengths and opportunities within our relationship. Also, he was able to SO perfectly manage the myriad of different family personalities during the rehearsal and the wedding day. On top of the incredible service, his pricing is incredibly reasonable and he clearly loves what he does! Amidst all the wedding stress with other vendors, Glen was an absolute breeze to work with, stop looking and just contact Glen you will not regret it!

When my daughter was making plans to get married, I was concerned about who would be their officiant since neither of them belonged to a church, and they had differing beliefs concerning God. Without a spiritual home base, how would they find someone that could not only be an officiant and make their ceremony special for them, but also provide a bit of counseling to the soon-to-be-married couple? My prayers were answered. They found Glenn. He guided them through a premarriage inventory and provided counseling on their issues which I believe is key to a good start for a marriage. Together they created a ceremony that was meaningful and reflected their beliefs. As an officiant, the words he shared were personalized because he truly spent time getting to know the couple. I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful ceremony. And, I was especially grateful for what a wonderful job he did during the rehearsal in getting the family organized and helping us with the "staging" details that made the day of the ceremony run smoothly. I will definitely recommend him to all family and friends. I'm hoping my son will choose Glenn when making his wedding plans!

The best Officiant you will find so stop looking! Just book Glen! Glen was amazing during the premarital portion, the rehearsal, and of course the wedding itself. The communication was wonderful throughout the whole process. He's so easy going, and yet he opened up great conversations between my fiance (now my wife) and I through the premarital counseling. Seriously, stop reading reviews and hire Glen!!!

We cannot say enough good things about Glen. Not only was he our reverend for the wedding, but we're happy to say that he became a good friend as well. We met with Glen several times over the course of the year leading up to our wedding, spending time talking about our relationship and our vision for the ceremony. He was SUPER open to all of our ideas and tailored our ceremony to be exactly what we wanted. It felt personal and he wrote a beautiful homily. We'd highly recommend Glen's services to anyone! And we look forward to staying in touch with him even now that we're married :) Thank you Glen for everything you did for us!

Glen was such a pleasure to work with! I had started my wedding plans from overseas, so I needed to communicate through emails at first. Immediately got a good vibe from Glen and he was understanding and patient with my situation and took things as they came. He was so flexible. We did two of our premarital counseling sessions over facetime because my husband and I were unable to be in the same country the whole time during wedding planning. It was a lot of fun to review our Prepare Enrich results with Glen. He walked us though them and explained very well. For our last meeting before the wedding, Glen met us at Hamline University where my husband and I met. I thought that was very sweet of him. Glen is easy to get to know and feel comfortable with. We will miss him!

Glen was great from start to finish! We felt like he truly cared for us as individuals and not just as clients. He was very accommodating when it came to scheduling our counseling sessions and his warm demeanor always put us at ease. We both loved that he let us put together a ceremony of our own choosing and made sure he went over everything with us beforehand so we knew what to expect. He gave us a ceremony we'll never forget and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone!

We are not typically the review-writing type, however we feel the need to share our excellent experience with Glen. First, a little background; my wife and I have differing religious backgrounds and we were wondering how we could create our ceremony to be a unique blend of “us.” After some thinking, we took to the internet. We came across Reverend Glen on The Knot’s website. About 5 minutes into our initial meeting, we knew he was the right choice and were confident he would deliver a ceremony that captured what we both wanted to have. In the time we spent working with Glen, we felt he was vested in us as a couple. It did not feel routine or canned, we could feel he genuinely cared about getting to know us, as couple and as individuals. Glen helped us create a ceremony that was a mix of traditional and modern. When the day came, he delivered. The ceremony was exactly what we were looking for and we could not ask for anything better. We would highly recommend Glen!

Glen recently officiated our wedding and we couldn’t be happier with the process. Neither my husband nor I have been involved in wedding planning previously, so we were very new to everything. We wanted a very casual ceremony, but still including some religious components. Glen was very open to any ideas we had and he really came into the process with no preconceived ideas about what we ‘should’ do, which was nice, but he was always more than willing to offer suggestions when we needed them. Glen offers a fairly comprehensive, yet not too burdensome, premarital counseling component that is based upon the PREPARE-ENRICH premarital assessment. My husband and I filled out our respective online assessments and then met with Glen sometime later to discuss the results. While my husband and I did not have any major revelations while discussing the results (we have been together 10+ years, so no surprise there) I do think it is very valuable to have a facilitated conversation about your strengths and weaknesses, both as individuals and as a couple. It reinforced what we need to continue doing well, but also what we need to be sure to continue working on going forward. The fact that the assessment quite clearly picked up on our characteristics we already know to be strengths and weaknesses leads me to believe it is a decent assessment and that couples with less experience with the ups-and-downs of life may find it very helpful, and possibly challenging to confront some of their ‘baggage’. With that being said, Glen did a great job facilitating these conversations. Even though we were talking openly about some of our less desirable qualities, we never felt judged or insecure. Prior to the ceremony Glen provided me a variety of sample ceremony plans and was very open to making the ceremony what we wanted. The wedding ceremony ended up being great! Glen did a great job of putting together the ceremony, as well as the officiating itself. There was one part of the ceremony I had not reviewed a head of time, which was when Glen talked specifically about my husband and I. I cannot say enough about how impressed I was with what Glen was able to say about the two of us (and our relationship) after having known us for such a short period of time. Several family members who had attended the wedding assumed Glen had been our pastor for some time as his words about us were so spot-on and personal. So all this is to say, you can’t go wrong working with Glen because he will make sure the ceremony is what you want, and you are able to have some helpful premarital discussions along the way!

Glen was recommended to me by my ceremony venue when I was unable to book the officiant I had been planning on using. Glen was very accommodating for my fiance and I during the planning and premarital counseling. At the time, my fiance was living was living in North Dakota and it was a trick to plan premarital counseling. Glen worked with us to make sure we got our counseling done on a timeline that worked for us. He also did a great job with the ceremony. He let us create the ceremony we wanted and he gave a great message that was personalized to us as a couple. I would definitely recommend him to other brides!

Glen officiated our wedding in June and was fantastic! My husband and I were referred to him through my husband's family's church. From our first meeting with Glen to the big day, each step set us at ease and made us look forward to our marriage. He was very relaxed and knowledgeable and offered to be as hands-on as we needed as we worked on laying our wedding. It was so nice having Glen guide us through the process! My husband and I wanted a simple, quick, but impactful ceremony. Glen was more than happy to help us create our ceremony to our liking, but take it to the next level with his words of wisdom. I lost count of the number of guests who came up to us during the reception to comment on how much they loved the ceremony. I recommend Glen to any couple looking for an officiant who will help them tailor their perfect wedding ceremony!

Glen was an amazing officiant throughout the entire process. He went over everything with us on how the day would go. He was very professional and great to work with. On our day he made us feel comfortable and we knew that he would help guide us through the ceremony. I would highly recommend Glen for anyones service.

Rev. Glen was great to work with as a parent of the Bride. He was flexible in scheduling of the Premarital Counseling and he gave the Bride and Groom ideas around the ceremony when asked. We had numerous guests say how wonderful the service was. We would highly recommend Rev. Glen as your Officiant of your wedding service.

My husband and I were married last fall at a resort in northern Minnesota. Although it was freezing at our outdoor wedding, multiple wedding guests approached me and told me that our wedding was the best wedding they have ever attended! With Glen’s professional experience and guidance, he was able to turn all of our crazy ideas into a coherent, personalized ceremony. His sense of humor kept the day light and fun, and looking back, we wouldn’t have changed one thing about our wedding. We highly recommend Glen for any officiant needs. His personality is unmatched and his organizational skills allow your day to go off without a hitch!

Glen recently officiated our wedding and we have nothing but great things to say about him! From the premarital counseling, the rehearsal, to the ceremony, Glen made the whole process both seamless and fun. We always looked forward to our time with him during our premarital counseling sessions which were held in relaxed atmospheres and were always a good learning experience for both of us. We also loved how Glen did a really good job of helping us plan the details of our ceremony. He was very helpful in making sure the whole ceremony went smoothly and that we didn't forget to plan any of the details! During the ceremony, he made it all that a ceremony should be - full of happiness, laughter, and tears of joy. We would highly recommend Glen to anyone who is looking for a wonderful person to marry them.
