Living Word Church
About
I have been a pastor on staff @ Living Word for just over nine years. I have performed 22 weddings during that time. I believe marriage is one of the most awesome events in a persons life and should be celebrated with a personal and memborable touch. Every couple is unique so I believe the ceremony should be shaped in a way that best symbolizes their relationship together.

How did you get started in this business?
Started doing weddings when I was hired on staff.
What types of customers have you worked with?
All backgrounds, members and non-members
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
All weddings I have done are special, but the most recent wedding was a couple who both had been divorced. They had found love once again and were blending their families together. Vows to the kids were awesome. It was a great time.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
I would make sure that the ceremony is what you want and the words are relevant. That it truly celebrates the moment. Its not about the officiant its about you the couple. Its your day.
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
Ask themselves what things need to be included in the ceremony. What is important to the couple. How long should it be? Do they write and say their own vows or repeat the vows already written. Do they want a religious ceremony or a spiritual, but not religious ceremony or somewhere in between.
