tire wedding day. He has a list of amazing ready to choose readings from his website while also being more than accommodating in designing the perfect ceremony for you and your future spouse with you own selected readings. Although he is a very busy vendor, he responds extremely quickly to your questions and is more than willing to bend his schedule to accommodate you. He walked us through our ceremony bit by bit putting us at ease and we were able to enjoy our ceremony with both laughter and love with him as our officiant. He is super amazing and I highly encourage him if you need an officiant who is professional, prepared, charming, and highly trusting and straight forward. Thank you so much Rev. Steven!!

ughtfulness (by letting me borrow your hankie to dry my tears) and kindness (by relaxing my groom before I walked down the aisle) are the details we will treasure forever. Thank you again Rev. Shulte for be a part of our special day!
Rev Steven Schulte did a good job with our short ceremony. I wasn't really impressed with his comments and attitude before the ceremony. Our ceremony was supposed to start at 5:00. At 5:05 we were about to start, people were lined up. My husban...
d and I were just finishing pictures and he comes up to us and says" I'm the only vendor not paid by the hour" and says we need to start. It was a rude comment and not the time for rude comments. We were clearly about to start. Not impressed.
Response from the Vendor on 07/29/2017
I’m glad that Ms .Chelsee D. wrote this review. It reminds me that what some people call rude other people call it paying attention to details and being professional.
According to the contract Ms. Chelsee D. signed, the ceremony was to start ...
at 5pm using a short ceremony dialogue.
Since the couple chose not to hire a professional wedding coordinator, they had the venue's Event Planner, whom was also the DJ taking that extra role, so it wasn't necessarily an issue if the ceremony started on time or not because he was getting paid to be there during the entire event.
At 5:05 pm I asked someone where the bride was and then I walked to the other side of the venue where the photographer was still photographing the couple. A professional photographer should have paid attention to details and made sure that her job didn’t cause the ceremony to start late and for the guests to wait unnecessarily in the heat.
It was a hot and humid day, and the bride needed to touch up her makeup before the ceremony began, which she did after a few more photos by the photographer. The photographer was hired for hours, so it did not matter to her what time the ceremony started.
Unfortunately, as much as I would love to be able to delay the start of a ceremony as needed, it does matter to me that the ceremony start on time, which is why I have in my contract where I clearly state that if the ceremony hasn’t started with “Dearly beloved…” or something similar by the time agreed on the contract, that I can cancel the agreement at 12 minutes past the agreed upon start time. Every couple has to agree to that when they sign my contract, and no one has ever crossed it off.
In the conversation with the bride, after telling her how beautiful she looked and that it was nice to finally meet her, I believe I said, “Unfortunately, I am the only vendor not hired by the hour. So we will need to start the ceremony.” That is the coordinator’s job, not mine to start to get people lined up and start the processional. It’s not my job to even approach the couple about starting. Would you ask the musicians to line people up? How about the photographer?
There were about 10 people in the wedding party. I didn’t notice anyone lined up and ready to walk down the aisle when I spoke to the bride at 5:05pm.
I find it very unfair and in poor taste that Ms. Chelsee D. chose to use pejorative words to describe my professionalism and work ethics, and giving me a 3 star review.
After over 6000 weddings I have successfully performed throughout the years, I have learned that it is of ultimate importance for weddings to start on time, for many reasons, otherwise why have a contract?
I’ve worked with hundreds of photographers over the years and most of them have a timeline to which they stick. Many are down to the minute. However with this photographer I never saw a timeline.
It would be easy to blame the unprofessional photographer for not being a detailed person. But I won’t. I stand by my contract and reasons behind it.
If given me a 3 star review is because of the photographer’s lack of professionalism, I can handle that.
Rev. Schulte is great! If you're worried about anything at all, you're in good hands. He's very nice and makes sure that everything goes according to plan. His attention to detail is spot on. Book with Rev. Schulte, you won't regret it!
Rev. Schulte did an amazing job.
Stephen and I got married on Nov 5th 2016 at the Mighty Eighth Air Force Museum. We are so glad we chose the Rev. Schulte to marry us. He was absolutely wonderful! He was so professional and fun. Very organized. He put us, or me rather, at such...
ease during the rehearsal. He walked us through every step. Literally. He thought of things that even we hadn't. But of course, with his experience, it makes sense. We would highly recommend him for anyone getting married. It was great being able to tailor our ceremony to fit our needs. Obviously, do your research. But I'm sure you'll not find a better officiant.
My husband and I were married on May 7, 2016 in beautiful Savannah, Georgia. We live in Daytona Beach, Florida so planning an out of town wedding was a little nerve racking. Luckily, we couldn't of been happier with the results.
Steve was amaz...
ing, we first viewed the video on his web site and knew he was perfect to marry us. We communicated remotely and never met till our rehearsal. He really made us feel calm about how we would hold hands, stand, pass flowers, etc. He was always on time, always responded quickly, and completely flexible with us since we really customized our vowels to our liking. Thank you Steve!
My husband and I just recently got married in Savannah, GA. Having only been to one other wedding myself and living over 10 hours away...we thought finding an officiant was going to be extremely challenging. After looking on Wedding Wire, The K...
not, and speaking to our photographer & florist, we came across Reverend Schulte. He already had outstanding reviews and every person we asked recommend him. His facebook and website were easy to navigate and his prices were right on point. After reaching out to him via email and then meeting in person-we knew he was the perfect officiant for us! He was so down to earth, kind, and extremely knowledgeable. He was able to answer all of our last minute questions and did such a wonderful job at the rehearsal and ceremony.
When the big day finally arrived, my biggest fear was that I wouldn't get through reading my own vows. Reverend Schulte gave me some calming advice and with his help, I was able to get through it. He was an outstanding officiant and I am SO glad that we chose him to be such a big part of our wedding day. It was truly a blessing to have been able to work with him!! Thank you Reverend Schulte!!

Rev. Schulte came highly recommended to us from our wedding planner and he did not disappoint. Even though we only met him briefly the night before our wedding, he performed an excellent service for us and made it feel extremely heartfelt. He...
was prompt at responding to our emails and was flexible with our various rain plans!! We would recommend him to anyone looking to get married in Savannah.
We met the reverend the day before the wedding at the inn, where he was finishing up with another young couple on their special day. A very popular reverend indeed. We spoke a little and he asked relevant questions about how we met, what serv...
ice we wanted and just got to know us. Little better. My wife and I felt very comfortable with him after our initial meeting. The next day he arrived early and was very professional throat the service. We loved his seer suckered suit and thought it played well with our simple wedding.
Rev. Darrin Dodd, an associate of Rev. Schulte's, officiated our ceremony. The whole process was quick and easy, from picking out our ceremony style, to the actual vows. They were very easy to work with, and I highly recommend!
I really enjoyed the opportunity to work with Rev. Schulte for our ceremony. Since this was a destination wedding for us, we had not had the opportunity to meet him in person prior to our rehearsal. But his personality and way of handling thing...
s made us immediately comfortable and assured us that we had made the right choice.
Rev Shulte was fun and wonderful! He put everyone at ease and helped make our ceremony smooth and memorable!
Nice as can be and funny!!
Will make your ceremony just right for you!!

Words cannot describe how awesome Rev. Schulte was at our wedding. He came to the square an hour and a half before the ceremony and used his weed whacker to cut the grass and weeds since the city hadn't done it. He definitely went above and b...
eyond, and we are forever grateful!
We met Rev Steven a month before the wedding - hilarious gentleman. He was extremely flexible as we were from Atlanta with meetings and times. The bride and groom stopped by on their drive to Hilton Head to have their documents signed at his ...
church. He arrived very early the day of the wedding and made it happen even though the groom provided him the ceremony choice 1 hour before. During the ceremony, the bride and groom tell him they want to do their own vowels. He did not miss a beat. Afterwards, he stuck around for pictures and chat with the family. It was fantastic!
Rev. Shulte was wonderful. We did not even get to officially meet him until after the ceremony (destination wedding). He gave a beautiful ceremony and was super easy to work with. What a great guy!
Very nice and willing to do a ceremony that you want
We're so glad that we chose Rev Steve to be the officiant at our wedding. He was professional and flexible. He took all of our suggestions and included them in our ceremony to make it truly our own.
The first time I met Rev. Schulte was not how we had planned. My wedding was a destination wedding in Savannah and I packed in as many appointments as I could into one weekend.
My mom and I were at an appointment at the Old Pink House and...
were not going to make it to our appointment with Rev. Schulte on time. When we called him he told us not to worry and he would come to the Old Pink House to make things easier for us!! He is so accommodating.
When we met Rev. Schulte explained that it is not his wedding, it is our wedding (the couple's wedding). He explained that he has many choices of ceremonies you can use if you'd like, or you can completely write your own. His philosophy was exactly what we were looking for and he delivered what he promised.
We communicated through email and he was extremely prompt with any questions I had. I think this is very important when working with someone on your wedding.
We wrote our own ceremony and he delivered it so beautifully. It was more than we could have ever hoped for. He performed the ceremony flawlessly! Even though we didn't know Rev. Schulte that well due to our wedding being a destination wedding, he made our ceremony very personal and intimate.
No matter what kind of wedding ceremony you are looking for Rev. Schulte is the guy for you! We were so blessed to have him perform our ceremony.
Rev. Schulte was perfect! He is so funny and made us feel very comfortable. I can't imagine having anyone else perform our wedding ceremony.
Rev Steven Schulte was wonderful - we felt so at ease with him instantly. He made us laugh, and is very kind. He let us determine what we wanted out of our ceremony and delivered a beautiful ceremony.
Rev. Schulte was amazing for our wedding in April. He was easy to work with and has a great website for picking out your vows and readings, he is also completely open to using your own. He was dignified and professional and looked great in the ...
pictures to boot! I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone.
Rev. Schulte was absolutely wonderful. Having planned everything (with a lot of research) online, we first met Rev. Schulte in person at our rehearsal. He put us at ease right away, and performed a beautiful ceremony.
He was also great to wo...
rk with in planning what specifics we wanted for the ceremony. He guided us with the questions we had, and really used what we decided on with him -- I've been in some weddings where the minister did a lot of his own thing, leaving the bride and groom wondering where all the additional things came from. That was not the case with Rev. Schulte. He was very respectful of what we wanted for our ceremony, while still injecting welcome personality into it.
We highly recommend Rev. Schulte.
