We greatly enjoyed working with Rev. Stephen Stahley to officiate our wedding. He was very personable, easy to work with, and attentive - even emailing us each month to check in. We were provided a helpful guide to assist us in choosing our readings and planning out the ceremony but were assured that we could customize it as we wished. We initially were hesitant to write our own vows, but Stephen encouraged us to consider this, as these statements add a personal touch and are moving to the guests. We were so glad that we heeded his advice, as the vows truly added to our ceremony. We received many compliments on Stephen and the ceremony overall.
The day of our wedding, Stephen was so warm and comforting, continually reminding us to relax and take deep breaths. His ceremony and prayers were thoughtful and personal. If you didn't know better, you would have thought we've known Stephen for years! Stephen was such a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend!
