Great.... Private Ceremony
Reverend Nelson was the first preacher with whom we met, and we just loved his personality and the time/care he took to get to know us and our family details. We knew he would make...
our ceremony special, and he did not disappoint. Our friends and family raved about Reverend Nelson and his sweet wife; they thought we had known each other for years, when we had actually only met twice before the day of the wedding. He tailored our ceremony to meet our needs, added some humor, and delivered some really great messages about love and marriage. I highly recommend Reverend Nelson; he is wonderful!
Gordon and LoraLea Nelson are such an incredible team to work with. We chose to have Gordon as our wedding officiant and could not have been more pleased. He was professional, kind...
, and the perfect person to marry my husband and I. He was able to put a personal touch on the ceremony, even though we had only known Gordon for a short time. We loved it!
A huge thank you to Gordon and LoraLea for all of their help throughout our rehearsal and ceremony! The perfect choice!
Gordon was the best! We enjoyed having him be a part of our special day. He made it so personal and very special. Also, it was Gordon and his wife's anniversary the day we got marr...

Lora lea Nelson was absolutely amazing minister! As canadians getting married in Texas she sure made us feel special! She was very excited about our wedding and took the time to g...
et to know us as a couple months before the wedding, we loved that during the ceremony she used things she learned about us. She even took the time to write our introduction on a napkin, which is how we met (by him leaving his name and number on a napkin)
We couldn't have been happier with her as our minister!
I loved working with LoraLea Nelson! She is such a delight to be around and she makes you feel as if you've been friends for years! She adds in special touches to personalize the v...

ut love so well because he has experienced a lifetime of it and that is evident. I highly recommend Gordon, he really shaped our whole ceremony and we are so grateful to him for that.
Gordon did our ceremony and it was wonderful! Not too long and not too short. His vows were beautiful and the ceremony was personal although we hadn’t known him long. His wife also...
attended and she was great! She helped get pictures so we had some before our photographers returned them and was so caring and kind! 10/10 go with the Wedding preacher for your special day. ❤️

ike we had known them forever. They both took the time to find out our preferences. We couldn't not have asked for a better minister and coordinator. Love them both!
Gordon was great! We really enjoyed having him as our officiant. During our reception many people asked how long we had known him as they thought that we must have known him for ye...
ars. They were all shocked to hear that we had only met with him a few times prior to the wedding. He made the ceremony personal and the perfect length. We also threw in a last minute request for our ceremony the day of our wedding and he went with it! We would highly recommend Gordon as an officiant.
Having Gordon Nelson officiate our ceremony was such a great experience! He seamlessly blended traditional vows and scripture in with our own ideas and a little humor. When we met...
with him prior to the wedding he had tons of great ideas and suggestions which put our minds at ease while planning our ceremony. I absolutely recommend The Wedding Preacher!
Gordon and Lora Lea are very experienced and great at what they do! The day of the ceremony they took the time to coordinate the DJ and wedding party to make sure the ceremony ran ...
smoothly. All of our guests commented on how great of an officiant Gordon is. We would definitely recommend him!
Our ceremony was perfect. Everyone loved the entire ceremony and we received so many compliments on how beautiful Gordon spoke.

Gordon was an absolutely phenomenal preacher at our wedding. He was awesome!
Gordon and Lora Lea were great to work with. Highly recommend.
Was very good very professional and lovely person .

lable to answer and questions. I highly recommend her to anyone that's getting married.

was a calming influence and help to keep the stress at bay! Thank you so much for being a part of our big day!
Lora Lea delivered an outstanding wedding service! Before the wedding, she worked with us to fine tune our ceremony so that we would have a beautiful wedding at the Japanese Garde...
ns with picturesque moments. In the ceremony, she artfully incorporated the Japanese Garden elements such as water, pruned trees, and the gravel garden and talked about how they relate to love and relationships - ultimately, she really made the ceremony fit for us and the location. Overall, she did a wonderful job and I fully recommend her!
Mr. Gordon Nelson performed a beautiful and memorable marriage ceremony for our outdoor wedding this Spring. He worked with me (Protestant) and my now husband (Catholic) to create ...
a ceremony that worked for both of us and our families. We have had several people tell us that our ceremony was one of the most moving/inspirational marriage ceremonies they have ever witnessed! One of my good friends told me she would have thought Gordon knew me and my now husband our entire lives just from watching him perform our special and individualized marriage ceremony. Mr. Gordon Nelson was a joy to work with, and I highly recommend him to anyone who believes the wedding ceremony itself should be the most meaningful and memorable portion of the wedding (reception second)!
Very sweet lady, very in-tune with the details of preparing for the day. She asked great questions to figure out what I wanted to happen the day of. Really did a great job of getti...
ng things set up for us before the wedding!
The only issue I had was that when it came to the execution of the day, I couldn't find her. When we needed to make our entrance, cut the cake, toss the garter, and leave I had to go find her to make sure we did it all. That was stressful to me, I wanted to have someone remind me when to do what and then read the flow of the party and decide when we needed to do each activity, which was hard when trying to enjoy the day and mingle with my guests.
I love lora Lee she also did my sisters wedding and on your wedding day she handles everything that way you are worry and stress free
Lora Lea did such an amazing job to make sure my day was about me. It was so great to enjoy my wedding and not have to worry about things getting done. I highly recommend her to e...

would highly recommend using Gordon.
Perfect ceremony for us. Very attentive to details and tailored the ceremony just right. His loving, uplifting spirit made us feel very special and comfortable. Highly recommended.
Gordan Nelson did a wonderful job! We would recommend him to anyone. The ceremony was beautiful, and filled with love. He was fun, entertaining, joyful, and (absolutely) a man who ...
loves the Lord! Everyone was so moved by the ceremony! Thanks Gordan!!
Look no further! Gordon and Lora Lea Nelson are exceptional officiants and inspirational partners. Gordon perfectly captured the vision of our wedding celebration and delivered an ...
awe inspiring message. Our guests continue to applaud his delivery - and my father is a minister himself! Lora Lea provided invaluable tidbits of support throughout our planning and wedding day. She prayed with me right before my father took my hand to walk down the aisle. I highly recommend this dynamic duo. You will be blessed !
Lora Lea was great! We met with her and talked about what we wanted and that is exactly what we got the day of our wedding. We couldn't have been happier! I would recommend to anyo...
ne looking for her services.
They are wonderful. Great price great service. Entertaining and touching. Highly recommended
I have been to a lot of weddings over the past year (including my own) and can honestly say that Gordon is the best officiant I have seen. We used him for our wedding and he truly ...
made the ceremony so heartfelt and sweet. He and his wife, Lora, are two of the sweetest people you will ever meet and they really care about their couples. Gordon took the time to meet with us before the wedding, learn what we wanted in our ceremony, and everyone in our family and wedding party's names. It was a really sweet touch that he mentioned how long both of our parents had been married. He is really funny and calms any nerves you may have on the big day. We cannot recommend The Wedding Preacher highly enough!
There are many words that can describe Lora Lea, but i think the word that works best is Amazing! When it came to taking the big step with my wife, nothing could describe how nervo...
us i was. Then we hired Lora Lea and the stress seemed to disappear. Lora Lea was there when disaster looked like it would strike. Not only did she handle the problem, but she provided a solution that made our special day that much better. When the special day came, everything went off with a hitch and we know that Lora Lea was the important cog that made it happen. Me and wife highly recommend Lora Lea and her Husband Gordon for your special day!!
Gordon and Lora were absolutely amazing! Our wedding was 10/16/15 and they both helped make our dreams come true! Our initial meeting with Gordon was very calming and fun! He helpe...
d plan an outline for how we wanted things to flow on our wedding day. The day of the event Lora came in to check on me, the bride, and we said a prayer together which helped calm my nerves! Gordon helped make the ceremony very memorable, emotional, and a little comical, which also made it how we wanted, FUN!!!! This couple is truly amazing and we were very blessed to have them be apart of our wedding day! Thank you to The Wedding Preacher!!!!!
I worked with the wedding preacher from another state. He was very personable, flexible and offered a tailored service. I would recommend him to anyone! Outstanding man of God!
Lora Lea Nelson was an amazing wedding officiant! Couldn't have done it without her.
It was a true blessing we found Gordon Nelson. From the moment we met him, we knew he was going to make sure our ceremony was perfect! We love the way he made the vows so special a...
nd we both felt so comfortable. My family was a little overbearing at the rehearsal and he knew exactly what to do with everyone to make sure the ceremony went as planned. We will always be grateful he was part of our special day!
Gordon made our September wedding so personal and memorable! He kept our guests laughing and asking where we found such a great officiant. So glad we chose to use Gordon "The Wed...

oroughly enjoyed it! Lora Lea was behind the scenes making sure everything went off without a hitch. They are amazing people and the epitome of professionalism. They genuinely do care and it shows! Thank you so much for being a such an important part to such an important day! I highly recommend their services and already have to several brides-to-be!
Every time I look at my wife's shining smile in the sunlight it reminds me of Lora Lea Nelson uniting us with a very sincere heartfelt ceremony that brings back that very moment w...
ith goose bumps, when I said, "I do."
With no rehearsal at all, she flawlessly and graciously created a ceremony made on earth as though it were a gift from heaven. Well done young lady!
When we talked to Mr. Nelson he was already booked for our date. He suggested we talk to his wife and we did. We met Nora and immediately knew we had made the right decision. Sh...
e is sweet, kind, and very helpful.
Along the way, she helped us find a couple of our vendors. She was always there to lend a hand and promptly answer any questions that we had.
Due to weather we were forced to change venue 4 days before the wedding, she adjusted to our change without any issues or additional charges.
We did not have a rehearsal and during our ceremony she queue in a very gracious manner what to do.
We heard nothing but good comments from our guest how great she spoke during the ceremony.
Thank you Ms Nelson for helping us during the stressful days of changing the venue. We loved the ceremony.
I would not hesitate recommending her to anyone looking for a wedding minister. She is simply outstanding and a trusty source of additional vendors.
Lora Lea was awesome! She made us feel so at ease and recited a wonderful ceremony!! She also had a few wonderful ideas that made our ceremony even more special! We loved having...

humor, it just puts you at ease. The ceremony was perfect, I would highly recommend him.

we were REALLY nervous on our wedding day. He made our ceremony very special. Thank you Gordon Nelson! :)
Mr. Nelson was the right fit for our wedding from the start. We had a western wedding and he had the perfect attire for it. Also, while we consider ourselves Christian, we do not...
regularly attend 1 church, but we definitely wanted prayer and God in our wedding service. Mr. Nelson provided that in spades. It was a beautiful ceremony where he talked about how God gave us a sense of humor and it was important to use and remember that especially in marriage. He was serious but provided comic relief every so often to help the tears stay at bay. I would highly recommend him. He is a fantastic gentleman.
