If you are looking for a wholesome and genuine person and not just an average officiant then Pastor Chris is the guy! He is not the guy to give you the cookie cutter type ceremony.... He will take the time to learn about you and your spouse and craft this truly unique wedding ceremony that you will never forget. For us, he also made sure to include my parents and my younger sister who was my maid of honor. He made them feel so included and special. It was also really important for me to find somebody who genuinely cared about our future. He sat down with us and went over so many aspects of marriage that we never considered. Things like parenting styles with children, how you will handle care for parents in the future if they get ill, what things you can do to keep your marriage alive and how to effectively communicate. My husband and I went into the ceremony with ZERO doubts or nerves because he made us truly see how compatible we were and gave us the tools for a healthy and strong marriage. We asked for him to stay through the event and he provided the most incredible convocation before food was served and that was really important for my parents. He also dealt with blending my parents and my husbands parents different faiths (Catholic and Christian) so everyone felt included. From what I know, Chris runs a church full-time and also allows you to use his church even if you aren't a member there. You will not regret using Chris! He was truly amazing!
