    Living faith ministries made our day so special. We highly recommend them for your wedding. We completed marriage classes with living faith ministries. Since we lived out of state, they accommodated by completing classes via Skype and they truly brought us closer together than ever! They worked with us in making our wedding perfect and guided us in our faith through the process!

    Joe and Vonnie are incredible at what they do. I’ve witnessed them officiate multiple weddings (including my own)and all have been top notch. They really take into consideration how the bride and groom picture the ceremony to go, their beliefs, their guests, and their families. They always provide valuable insight as they have officiated many weddings and have seen what does and doesn’t work. They’re both very professional, but welcoming. You’ll feel just like family with them.

    Joe and Vonnie were excellent officiants for our wedding. Being that our wedding was out of state for them, may pose an issue for some, but they made it easy with thorough communication through the whole process. Before even planning the ceremony we had the opportunity to do pre-marital counseling with them via video chat; even though, my now husband and I had already been enrolled in a class through a local church. We appreciated the option to do it with them, and it was an experience that we recommend every couple go through before making their vows.
    When we began planning the ceremony, we were given examples of weddings that they had previously officiated. This helped us see the overall structure, and allowed us to completely customize the ceremony to match our desires. We chose what we wanted it to include and not include, regarding scripture, unity ceremonies, worship, communion, feet washing, hand written or traditional vows, etc.
    Joe and Vonnie were so encouraging through the whole experience to help us create a ceremony that reflected God’s goodness as the two of us stepped into marriage. Our ceremony was so personal and well done that we had several of our friends and family say, “that was the best wedding ceremony I have ever been to!” What a compliment!
    If you are thinking about having Joe, Vonnie, or the both of them officiate your wedding, don’t think twice. They are thoughtful, caring, compassionate and their love for being a part of the unity of two people is abundant. Their conscious effort to get to know you as a couple before performing your ceremony is what sets them apart from others. With their help, you will have a ceremony that you can look back on with beautiful memories and no doubt that it was a true reflection of you and your significant other. Kelly W.
