Report
When my husband and I got engaged we didn't know where to start with finding an officiant for our wedding. After seeing all of the positive reviews we met with Reverend Stan and felt comfortable right away. He was so kind and professional. He has so much experience and was able to help craft the perfect wedding ceremony to fit us and our uniquely blended family. He was on hand for all our questions and gave valuable advice when needed. I highly recommend him! Thank you Stan!
