Aaron officiated our wedding September 2025 and we engaged in premarital counseling/planning prior to our big day. Aaron’s outgoing and relatable personality along with his calming demeanor made him so easy to work with. After the first session we felt like we had known him forever and he told our love story and shared our values perfectly throughout our ceremony.
