Garret was amazing! Highly recommend him he was helpful with any questions we had and made everything so easy for us!
Rev. Garrett is impeccable! I was a crazy bride and emailed him every day with questions, and he answered every question and calmed my nerves. We were looking for someone that would please my Catholic side of the family and also please my husband's Presbyterian side as well. He was perfect for both of our families and made everyone so happy! He was funny, sincere and professional. He made our ceremony and day perfect. If I had to do it again I would change some vendors, but I wouldn't take away Rev. Garrett! If you are looking for an officiant don't look any further!
Garrett Taylor was the perfect officiant for our wedding. So organized with the planning process and helped our ceremony be reflective of us! Truly a great service, great advice delivered during the ceremony and we've been told it was the best ceremony that our guests have ever been to.
Rev. Garrett Taylor was exactly what we were looking for. We were wanting someone with experience with the outlook of both Faith and Realism. The ceremony was the perfect balance that was appealing to everyone but most importantly us. We were sent the ceremony, word for word, a few months out to review and fill in blanks where necessary. It was calming to know exactly what was going to be said so there were no surprises. He was so easy going when things weren't falling into place perfectly, he could make it fun. Although at the same time, he made sure to let everyone know what is most important, the ceremony & marriage, and made sure everyone knew where/what they needed to do without being rude. He was very accommodating allowing for changes up to the rehearsal as necessary. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone in need of an officiant. He is truly someone we both respect and appreciate for his sincerity and positivity.
Reverend Garrett Taylor, officiated at my daughters Wedding this past June 19th. His "officiating" of their ceremony was moving and beautifully done. We will remember it always.
He is sarcastic, fun, but also professional. He was willing to do whatever we asked in regards to the ceremony. He gave us a folder containing a copy of our ceremony and a certificate of marriage. He also provided a packet of information for me to change my name. He kept the order for our ceremony and things ran perfectly. If you want a perfect ceremony this is who you will want to use!
When my husband and i drove to meet Garrett, we were taken aback about meeting in his home. However, the moment we walked on his front porch we were welcomed. We met with him for about 2 hours. He fit our personalities perfectly! He is sarcastic, fun, but also professional. He was willing to do whatever we asked in regards to the ceremony. He stuck around during our reception and fit in with our family. He even gave us a folder containing a copy of our ceremony and a certificate of marriage. He also provided a packet of information for me to change my name. He kept the order for our ceremony and things ran perfectly. If you want a perfect ceremony this is who you will want to use!
Rev. Garrett was very knowledgeable about his role, and put us both at ease with the whole process. We were technically an out-of-state wedding, since we are from OH and got married in KY, but he told us exactly what we needed to know and do. He did an excellent job personalizing the ceremony, and was more than happy to add in the special touches we requested, such as using my old pastor's Bible during the ceremony. He was extremely fun and easy to talk to, but professional at the same time. We highly recommend his services!
Rev. Garrett was fun to work with. He writes the entire ceremony and makes sure it's to your liking. He has great things to say about marriage also. He also gives a printed ceremony to you afterwards which is nice to have what was said.
I contacted Garrett after a random Internet search for non-denominational officiants. He met with us and created a personalized, touching ceremony in less than a month! He was prompt and endured an blustery outdoor winter wedding for 2 hours. Garrett also gave us a commemorative license and a copy of our ceremony on nice stationary, as well as an envelope with all the information I needed to change my last name. We were extremely pleased. Highly recommended!
My wife and I did not belong to a church, so did not have a reverend in mind when looking for an officiant for our wedding ceremony. I found Reverend Garrett online and read his website and some of his sample readings and really liked what I saw. We scheduled a meeting with Garrett to get to know him and he welcomed us into our home and we just had a very relaxed conversation getting to know him and him doing the same. He has a great sense of humor, doesn't take himself too seriously, and was willing to do a secular ceremony for us that mixed in a lot of light hearted anecdotes as well as great advice and some custom personalized material as well. Garrett is very organized and had us complete several ceremony documents in advance and let us choose the readings he would do and sent us his whole ceremony for us to review. Garrett ran a great rehearsal and was very patient with us (me especially haha) and kept it light and fun for the whole wedding party. Garrett rolls with the punches and keeps things loose, so we weren't nervous and tense. At our actual ceremony, Garrett did everything as planned and didn't go off script at all for any lengthy sermons or anything. He was PERFECT for us and he genuinely cares about us as a couple and even wants us to send him baby pictures once the lil' ones start coming along (a few more years to go)! We would HIGHLY recommend Garrett as your officiant. He is sure to tailor the ceremony to fit you and ensure that the ceremony is everything you imagined it to be.
Garret was super nice, and easy to meet with, always on time. His price was good, it included a meeting, personalized ceremony, rehearsal and ceremony. He gave us packets on name change, how to figure out fine details on the ceremony and where/how to get our marriage license which were really helpful. He was very friendly and chatty. The ceremony was absolutely beautiful, very personal and I couldn't have been happier. The only snag was I was slightly upset because a friend was taping the ceremony and wanted to stand behind for the sand ceremony to get a better angle and I wanted our first kiss picture to be taken facing the crowd, however he didn't want anybody behind him so it was not able to be done. I didn't offer an explanation as to why this was, so it slightly upset me. Garret was very easy to work with and did a beautiful ceremony and was very helpful.
I could not have been more pleased with my ceremony. I loved Reverend Garrett from the very first meeting. I will highly recommend him to anyone that is looking for an officiant.
Rev. Garrett Smith was perfect for our wedding. He wrote our ceremony specifically for us and provided copies of it to us along with a beautiful keepsake marriage license.
Garrett made our ceremony more then we could have imagined. We are so happy we chose him! We met with Garrett about 9 months before our wedding and knew he was who we wanted to marry us! The ceremony he wrote was perfect for us and he helped keep us calm! We are so pleased he was a part of our wedding day and will continue to keep in touch with him as a friend!
My husband and I met with Reverand Garrett Taylor about a year before our wedding. He invited us to his home and we instantly hit it off. We were very excited to have found an officiant. We wanted a Christian ceremony but hadn't found the right person to marry us. Garrett was perfect. He helped us plan the entire ceremony and gave a truly genuine and much appreciated homily during the ceremony. We feel that he made our wedding the wedding of our dreams. We both wrote our own vows and he kept them for us until it was time to read them. Garrett also provided us with any needed advice, guidance and a true friendship. He is very professional, friendly and performed an overall wonderful ceremony. While the reception was a great time, our ceremony is what I will never ever forget. Committing our lives to one another was the best decision we ever made and Garrett made it the most enjoyable process and experience we could have asked for. We feel very blessed to have found him.
My now husband and I found an officiant online, and we were pleasantly surprised at how wonderful he was. He was very professional (yet still funny and quirky!) and tailored the ceremony to exactly what we wanted. Great job, we were VERY happy!!
