We hired Rev. Scott as the officiant for our wedding and could not be happier with that decision! He was professional, caring, and kept in constant communication with us. He created a beautiful ceremony that was personalized to our story. It was everything we hoped for and more. Thank you Rev. Scott for making our ceremony so special!

Rev Scott was our favorite part of our wedding. We planned our Denver wedding from New Zealand, and he was exactly what we were needing. He took the time to Skype with us and answer all of our questions beforehand. Then he made our wedding day so easy, coordinating with our other vendors so we didn't have to worry about anything. Our ceremony was absolutely perfect - all thanks to him. He personalized it to us, while also including religious elements and wonderful touches of comedy. Our families are still talking about how lovely it was. We cannot recommend him enough.

My husband and I really struggled with figuring out how to do the ceremony part of getting married. Should we get a friend or family member? Marry ourselves? Luckily, on our search, we came across Rev Scott. From our first FaceTime call, we knew that he was the person we wanted to marry us! Scott is warm and funny and kind, and really put us at ease! He took the time to get to know us as a couple, and make sure that all of the family traditions that were important to us were part of our ceremony.
He made us feel so calm the day of our wedding and made the ceremony very special, it wasn't too long or too short, but just right. It was personalized, traditional, and funny, a perfect mix that fit us as a couple perfectly. There were some lovely aspects that involved our friends and family that really touched us (and made us laugh!). Scott was such a wonderful addition to our wedding, we highly recommend him!

Reverend Scott did an amazing job on my wedding ceremony. He did a great job of balancing religion and humor. My husband is a class clown so it was very fitting. Even my parents who are very religious were impressed by the ceremony he gave.

I cannot tell you how many guests approached me after my wedding to tell me how special our ceremony was, and my husband and I couldn't agree more! Rev. Scott went above and beyond to make sure our wedding had the spiritual elements that we wanted while also maintaining our humorous, fun-loving side. In addition to the ceremony itself, Rev. Scott was also my go-to for information about obtaining our marriage license and changing my name. We were so lucky to have him as our wedding officiant, and I highly recommend him!

Reverend Scott Awbrey did a wonderful job officiating our wedding. He did a great job of listening to what we had in mind, and personalizing our ceremony. He made the ceremony easy for us by guiding us every step of the way. We loved the light humor that he incorporated into the ceremony. He made our ceremony very special and we received so many compliments from our guests about what a wonderful job our Reverend had done.
