About

Schaffer Consulting Group | Weddings by Pastor Theo

Congratulations on your engagement! Your wedding ceremony should be one of the most meaningful moments of your life—not just another item to check off your planning list.

I’m Pastor Theo Schaffer, an ordained minister, professional wedding officiant, marriage coach, and speaker with more than 20 years of pastoral and leadership experience serving couples and families. My passion is creating personalized ceremonies that reflect your unique love story while making everyone in attendance feel connected, inspired, and engaged.

Whether you’re planning an intimate elopement, a traditional Christian ceremony, a modern celebration, or a vow renewal, I’ll work closely with you to create a ceremony that feels authentic, relaxed, and memorable. Every ceremony is customized—because no two love stories are the same.

What sets me apart is that I don’t just officiate weddings—I help prepare couples for marriage. Through our Ten Phases™ marriage coaching framework, my wife Patrice and I have helped couples build stronger relationships by focusing on communication, trust, conflict resolution, and covenant. While premarital coaching is optional, I believe preparing for a lifelong marriage is just as important as planning a beautiful wedding day.

Clients appreciate my calm presence, engaging speaking style, professionalism, and ability to make every ceremony feel personal, joyful, and meaningful.

It would be an honor to celebrate one of the most important days of your life with you.

    What I liked about working with Pastor Theo was his way of truly connecting with us and personalizing each session towards our needs. My now husband and I had a bit to work through during engagement, but that didn’t stop Pastor Theo from meeting us right where we were. Some sessions were serious, as the weight of marriage secures the demand for seriousness. Some sessions were lighthearted and playful. Other sessions were reflective. One central theme, though, was an invitation from Pastor Theo for the Holy Spirit to have His way.
    Engagement was a tough season as much as it was sweet, however, we didn’t have to weather storms alone. We had our community and we are eternally grateful that Pastor Theo and his wife, Pastor Patrice, got to stand alongside us as we transitioned into marriage.
    Lastly, there was no better option to have PT help us tie the knot by officiating our wedding. The ceremony was intimate, calm, and sweet. So blessed to have met him and have him and his family as a cherished part of our lives.

    Pastor Theo is one of the most genuine people you’ll ever meet. He truly has a heart for people and is passionate about helping couples build healthy, Christ-centered marriages. His wisdom, encouragement, and authenticity make such a difference, and you can tell he genuinely cares about every couple he works with. I would recommend Pastor Theo and 10 Phases Marriage & Weddings to anyone looking for someone who will invest in them, encourage them, and help them build a marriage that lasts.

    If you want zoom excitement, passion, and humor along with a serious reverence for the sanctity of marriage, Pastor Theo is the perfect Preacher/Officiant and Counselor for you. My husband and I absolutely love his infectious joy and his commitment to serving couples on their journey to having the fruitful and prosperous marriage that God wants us to have.

    Selecting Pastor Theo for officiating our wedding is truly one of the best and easiest choices we made because he has demonstrated that he is not only a pastor but also an extended member of our family. Right from the first meeting with Pastor Theo, he created a friendly and trusting environment, which allowed us to feel confident and assured that everything would turn out fine. Theo did not merely execute the wedding process according to the known customs, but also provided us with many pieces of good advice regarding our family life. Pastor Theo constantly sent us wonderful messages full of great wisdom and life experience. His calm personality and kind attitude made our wedding unforgettable; our relatives and friends continue to speak of this wonderful event.

    Working with Pastor Theo was a truly authentic and personal experience. From the very beginning, he was genuinely invested in us throughout the entire process. His consistent follow-through, attention to detail, and sincere care made every interaction meaningful and reassuring. He took the time to ensure we felt prepared, heard, and supported every step of the way. We are incredibly grateful for his guidance and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking premarital counseling or wedding officiant services.
