He was absolutely phenomenal!! We went this past weekend for our vow renewal and he made it so much fun. He is incredibly nice and great at his job. Roland(Elvis) made us feel like he had known us for years. Highly highly recommended!

Roland was the best officiant we could have asked for. During the ceremony, it was like he had known us for a long time! And our guests couldn’t stop talking about how great he was! Additionally we were in a time crunch to get our certificate and he jumped through hoops to make sure we went home with it in less than 24 hours - I didn’t even know that was possible. Would highly recommend anyone choose him as your wedding officiant! One of a kind.

what we could have possibly dreamed. He was prompt, friendly, communicative, and all around AMAZING! He made sure that our 8 year old was involved with our ceremony in creative ways as well as talked with him and related to him as well as my husband I. Instead of "just having a minister" we felt like we had a friend marrying us. Thank you Roland and I couldn't and wouldn't recommend anyone else!

During the ceremony he was able to brilliantly interject stories and qualities that he found during those conversations and really made our vows seem more personal and genuine. Roland was kind, funny at appropriate times, and really made our wedding day special. Roland's passion for his work is evident! He's amazing and we can't praise him enough.

When looking for a minister STOP RIGHT HERE!!! Roland was the best. He stayed in communication with us, made sure that he offered other services available, but was not pushy when...
we did not go with the extras. He even took a couple pictures for us. He tailored the words in the ceremony to fit us personally as if we were friends long before meeting us literally "On the side of the ROAD". He accommodated us to meet and wed us at the location of our choice. He was AMAZING and I would more than HIGHLY RECOMMEND Roland, you will not be disappointed...

Roland is the absolute best! I don't have enough words to describe how happy we were with Roland's services. Not only was he extremely professional, he had a great vibe and energy ...
and felt like a family member immediately upon meeting him. He comes prepared with everything you need, even helped out my fiance with a pin to tie his bowtie. He really spent time and energy into learning our love story, so that he could incorporate it into the unique vows during the ceremony, completely from memory and without a hitch. Roland took his time to take many (and I mean MANY) photos to capture the intimate moments and everything was professional from the moment I contacted him to inquire about his services to after the ceremony when I reached out to get some photos resent. He filed our paperwork on time and did everything to a T!!! I felt extremely blessed to have found him and he made our day so very special. If I could fly him out to our second wedding in Europe I just might! Most definitely will be contacting Roland again for vow renewal as well. I highly recommended him- 5 stars or PLUS.

We highly recommend Roland August, the Mobile Minister (www.themobileminister.com) if you are looking for a memorable and fun wedding or vow renewal in Las Vegas!
He made our ...
renewal of our vows an event we will never forget. He is experienced, well respected and even a bit famous around town.
Roland is intuitive, flexible and has the sensitivity to make you feel comfortable. He can make it meaningful if you are looking for a traditional ceremony or as wild and crazy as you prefer as an incredible Elvis. We did a combination of both. (He has a variety of options)
Hope you contact him, you will not regret it!!!
Thanks Roland! We love you

Of course we had to find a way to incorporate Elvis, so Roland changed & surprised our guests at the reception by coming out as Elvis for our grand entrance! He sang two songs and everyone was so excited- he was a huge hit!!! Our photos with him are incredible- it really set the tone for our whole reception! Thank you Roland for being such a fun part of our day!

hoice. We decided on the package where we met with Roland the day before the wedding. It felt like he was genuinely excited for our ceremony. On the day of the ceremony, he was game for dressing in Western clothes to go with our Wild West/American Victorian theme and then came back at the end of the reception a couple of hours later as Elvis! Our guests were delighted and when I got our wedding photos back, I was surprised how many of the guests had posed with him. He's a great guy who loves what he does. My husband jokes that we got married by "The Spirit of Vegas." If you're looking for a Vegas minister, Roland is top notch.
