Pastor Aaron was absolutely wonderful to work with as our wedding officiant. From the very beginning, he made the entire process feel easy and stress-free. He was always timely, responsive, and incredibly easy to communicate with.
One of the things we appreciated most was his great sense of humor — he brought such a warm and relaxed energy that made us feel comfortable and confident throughout the whole process. Our ceremony felt personal, meaningful, and enjoyable thanks to him.
We’re so grateful we chose Pastor Aaron and would highly recommend him to any couple looking for an officiant who is professional, kind, organized, and genuinely awesome to work with!
We feel so blessed to have had Pastor Aaron officiate our wedding this past March. From our very first conversation, he made us feel comfortable and cared for. He took the time to get to know us and our story, which made the ceremony feel incredibly personal and meaningful.
On our wedding day, his words were heartfelt, genuine, and full of love. He also created one of the most memorable moments when he was handed a fantasy football ring instead of our wedding rings from the Best Man. He turned the situation into a lighthearted, funny moment that had everyone smiling and laughing, while still keeping the ceremony beautiful and sacred.
We are so thankful for Pastor Aaron's guidance, encouragement, and prayer throughout the process. He will always be a special part of our marriage story, and we highly recommend him to any couple looking for someone who will make their day truly unforgettable.

Hello! I love weddings because there is no relationship like being committed to another person who gets you, laughs with you, and puts up with you. Love is not just a feeling. Love is long-term grace, selflessness, and support. I am a Lutheran Christian pastor who has served several different churches. I'm unique because I genuinely care about your success. I've made a difference if I can help a couple succeed in their day and life together. I am married and have two awesome kids. We also have a Sheep-a-doodle and a Garfield cat. We love Charleston, and you will too!
