I’m so lucky to have met this man to officiate he went above and beyond to make our ceremony special. His speech was so beautiful. It was hard for me and my husband to not shed a tear from some of the scriptures he read. This man went as far as driving a few hours away from his home to help us the day before our wedding to walk us through the plan of the ceremony. Any changes, additions or adjustments he wanted to make to the speech he always ran it by us first. Don truly has a heart made out of gold I feel like I made a friend I can come to for support. Once again thank you Don 🩷

Don was certainly the right choice without question to officiate our wedding ceremony! On a day when anxiety can be elevated as everyone desires their wedding day to be fabulous, his personable and easy- going demeanor provided a calming effect. The process began by responding to our inquiry making a casual, unpressured introduction inquiring as to what we desired in our ceremony. He was entirely flexible and clear that it would be our own, while equally capable of making suggestions from inserting our own vows, to religious references if desired as he is vastly experienced in that aspect as well. We submitted our outline as a draft; with permission, he polished and edited it to make it perfect. Contact was clear and concise throughout the process, never any doubt he would be punctual and present as agreed. He arrived early, performed the ceremony in a confident, but relaxed, appropriate cadence, making the experience positive from start to finish. When we reflect on that day, we will always remember this aspect as flawless! John & Chesere Barker
