Rev. Russ Winn

someone who decided to start officiating weddings and obtained an internet license to do so. He did a fantastic job at the wedding ceremony and did everything we asked of him. He helped make the occasion memorable and meaningful! I highly recommend him as an officiant.

having our familiar Pastor from up North who we dearly loved marry us. The worries were completely washed away after meeting with Pastor Russ and how personal he made our ceremony with God as the center. My family back home loved him by how personable and considerate he was to those watching “live” and making them feel like a part of it as well. He even helped with the camera at the end. God definitely answered our prayers bringing Pastor Russ into our lives for one of the most important days ever uniting us as one with Christ. We will forever be grateful to him for his ministry. God has truly blessed him with such an amazing gift. Thank you Pastor Russ. We are all so grateful to you ❤️🙏

nyone else doing a better job! We asked for short and sweet, but it was so perfect! Everyone thought he had known us for years with how great a job he did! His southern charm and attention to detail was perfect for our beach ceremony! Thank you Russ!!

erything we dreamed of - helping us to incorporate our family, special readings, a sand ceremony, and a beautiful blessing. So many people keep telling us how great and personal our ceremony was and loved Russ' readings and prayers. We are so thankful we chose Russ to lead our ceremony. He put a lot of time and thought into it and we are so happy with the result!

ating for what you're looking to get out of your ceremony. He was the perfect match for us & I am so happy we had the pleasure of working with him. Our wedding guests told me he was the best they've ever heard. Highly Recommended! A++

as delayed by an hour due to weather, and Russ was flexible and patient. Russ helped us create a unique, to the point, and thoughtful ceremony that represented us as a couple. Our input was valued and Russ was extremely responsive and helpful during our planning process. Our wedding was a destination wedding, and we had not met Russ in person until the day of the wedding, but he made it a point to call us multiple times to check in and run through the ceremony elements to make sure everything was perfect. He creatively intertwined elements of each of my husband and my ideas and preferences resulting in an incredible ceremony that many guests told me was "one of the best wedding ceremonies they ever been to". I cannot say enough about Rev. Winn. Stop looking for an officiant now and give him a call!!

e made us feel comfortable, like he had known us for years!!!! He made sure our wedding felt personalized and incorporated all our wishes into the ceremony. All of our guests commented on how great of a job he did officiating and how beautiful all his words were. We could not be happier with our choice to hire Russ! Thanks so much Russ! Cait & Jay

t for us! Coming from out of state, Russ went over our marriage license, readings, ceremony order, vows, sand/glass frit ceremony to make sure it was everything we wanted! If you’re looking for an officiant for your wedding day, we highly suggest Russ!

dding until a week before the trip! However, when I spoke to Rev. Russ Winn he really put me at ease. I explained the whole situation to him and my idea to surprise my Fiancé and he was so understanding and helpful. I don't know the Naples area so Rev Winn requested the photographers contact information so that they could discuss locations. The beach that they selected was so beautiful. I must also mention that it rained at the scheduled time of the wedding, which was 5 in the evening and they suggested that we wait to see if the rain would stop (which was really nice). It did about 45 minutes later and we started the ceremony. My Husband is such a quiet person and is not very comfortable with new people but Rev Russ Winn made him so comfortable with the entire situation and he had such beautiful words to say about us as a couple. We had our 4 year old with us and he included him in the ceremony which was so cute! Honestly, I barely planned the ceremony because I was so nervous about surprising my husband and getting married in general but Rev. Russ Winn made it seem like we had practiced the event over 100 times. It flowed so nicely. Even my shy and quiet husband said Rev Winn was amazing and he wouldn't change one single thing about the ceremony. If you are planning a ceremony in the Naples area, hands down I would say select Rev Winn. He made the ceremony so amazing and it is something that we will never forget. *I can also note that after looking back at the photographers pictures Rev Winn's attire was so nice and perfect for the beach ceremony. It fit right in with what we had on and that wasn't even something that I stressed when he and I discussed the event. He did ask me what I would like his attire to be, but I was so stressed about planning this ceremony on such short notice that I didn't even think about it. In short, I'm just glad that I went with this officiant and if I had to do it all over again I would still put all of my trust in Rev Russ Winn.

ver everything to make sure you get exactly what you want down to the littlest detail. We got tons of compliments on the ceremony, people told us they could tell he was sincere, warm, and kept things short but sweet. We had more than one person tell us it was the best ceremony they had ever seen, and there wasn't a dry eye in the house! (Ask him about the 3 words option during the ceremony, it was a huge hit and our favorite part!) We also had a newborn nephew in the NICU fighting for his life and he asked us if it would be alright for him to say a little prayer for him during the ceremony which meant so much to us and my family. Overall he made our ceremony so special and memorable. It was my favorite part of the whole night and I would suggest that anyone in the area use Rev. Russ Winn!

n contact with us multiple times and guided us throughout our path to becoming a married couple. Russ gave great suggestions for creating a ceremony unique to us; Blessing of the Hands was a nice touch. We feel very fortunate and blessed he was able to be a part of our special day!

m for years, through talks on the phone and emails. Family members raved about how wonderful his words were!

or us, one that reflected our values and beliefs. Thank you, Reverend Winn for making our wedding ceremony so memorable!

grooms overlook and think that anyone can read some words and it will be fine. But I have to say, the ceremony Russ did was so heartwarming and personal to my husband and I. He had everyone laughing at certain points and tearing up at others. He is a warmhearted and kind pastor who listened to what we wanted and made the ceremony exactly like we imagined.

e our moment exactly what we wanted. His suggestions helped make our ceremony unique to us. Several guests made mention that it was the best ceremony they had ever attended. We are very thankful he was able to share in our special day!

ry long but to us it just felt a bit rushy. We wanted a moment of silence while the Avé Maria was played but unfortunately it didn't happen. For me this was a very important element of the ceremony and I was quite disappointed about this because it had been discussed clearly just a few days earlier. There were a few other things (like not knowing how to pronounce my husbands'first name!) that just didn't make us completely satisfied. On the other hand Russ was great with integrating our cultures by wearing appropriate clothing and including the tradition we have of signing the wedding papers during the ceremony. His wife even made a special document for this, which was super nice.

e to meet with us when we arrived to get to know us and make sure that everything was set!

compassion, and meaning to what was an unforgettable ceremony! We couldn't have been happier!
