    Perfect Ceremony!

    We chose a nonreligious ceremony. I didn't want loads of photos of everyone ugly crying (including myself LoL), so we opted for a little humor and lightheartedness mixed in with our heartfelt sentiments. We had an email or two and a phone call with Minister Steve. When I received the email with the reading for our ceremony, I cried at our kitchen table. It was absolutely perfect. We changed one line and added another, but that was it. He was communicative and quick to respond throughout the whole process and worked with our 3-hour time difference, as we live in California. He was going on a cruise and celebrating his wedding anniversary during the process and was still available to us - though we tried to let him enjoy his celebrations without our pestering LoL He was an absolute dream to work with, and we are so glad he was available for our day! Do not hesitate to book with him! We loved him, and so did everyone at the rehearsal/wedding.

    Samantha, wow! I really don't know what to say. I've received some wonderful reviews over the years, but yours genuinely touched my heart. Thank you so much! I especially loved hearing that you were in tears reading your ceremony at the kitchen table. That really means a lot to me. I always hope the ceremonies I write are as special to my couples as their wedding day deserves to be, and hearing that from you makes it all worthwhile. It was such a pleasure getting to know you and Travis, and I had a great time being part of your wedding. And don't worry about those emails during my cruise. I was happy to help! Thank you again for trusting me with such an important day in your lives, and for taking the time to write such an amazing review. I wish you both nothing but the very best in the years ahead! Minister Steve

    Highly recommend

    I met Steve years ago at church. It was always a pleasure to hear his sermons when he substituted when the minister was away. I knew he was doing weddings but never thought I would need his services. Fortunately, I took in a young man who became my bonus son. When we were planning, they knew they wanted a small backyard wedding. The two are a young couple (21 and 20) and the one item they didn't have was someone to officiate. Steve was the obvious choice. He walked them through the whole process providing many options for their service. They opted for a short non-religous service. It was perfect for their small backyard wedding. He put them at ease using humor to ease their nerves. Even though I knew Steve, I was impressed with how well he worked with them. I do highly recommend Steve.

    Minister Steve Review

    I had the pleasure of working with minister Steve for my wedding day, and it was one of the best decisions. My husband and I are not very religious and we did not have anyone we knew personally to marry us. Our wedding planner recommended minister Steve and he did not disappoint. He was timely and communicated with us effectively. He sent us our ceremony well in advance and made changes even the day before the ceremony, because I am so indecisive. We were thrilled with our ceremony and the personal touches he added to make it our own.

    Thank you Jessica so much for the kind words and awesome rating! It seriously means a lot. You two were an absolute blast to work with, and I’m so glad I got to be a small part of such a special day. Wishing you both nothing but good vibes, great memories, and tons of love on your new adventure together. Stay in touch—and keep spreading that joy everywhere you go! 💫💛 And thank you Erin from Ryan Planning for the referral!

    Minister Steve Of Pennsylvania was the perfect officiant for our wedding. His communication style was clear, concise, and easy to understand. We appreciated his honest, genuine, and authentic approach to the ceremony. Steve made everything easy - we simply provided the scriptures we wanted, and he took care of the rest without any extra fluff. He led a beautiful and meaningful ceremony that reflected our values and vision for our special day. We're grateful for Steve's professionalism and for helping to make our wedding so special.
