Ed made our wedding wonderful!
From our first conversation with Ed at Premier Wedding Pastors, we knew he was the right fit for our ceremony. He brought so much joy to every interaction and was genuinely invested in helping us prepare, from our pre-marital counseling sessions to crafting every word of our vows. Ed didn't just show up on the day of; he was there for us throughout the entire planning process, answering questions and providing resources whenever we needed them. His public speaking skills made our ceremony feel personal and special, and his warm personality had our guests laughing and feeling the love in the room. We actually ended up inviting Ed and his wife, Laura to stay for the reception because they brought such great energy to our day. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant, and we're so grateful for everything he did for us.
Edward Choy•May 27, 2026Thank you so much Katie, the feelings are mutual! You deserve the TOP BRIDE award for most organized and planned ahead. You were so thoughtful toward your guests and us, and made it an unforgettable experience.

Look no further! Ed Choy is the man.
From our first conversation with Premier Wedding Pastors, we knew we'd made the right choice. Ed Choy led our rehearsal with charm and humor, helping us feel calm and confident about the ceremony ahead. What really stood out was how genuine he was—he didn't just perform our ceremony, he felt like family on our wedding day. Ed's professionalism and dedication made sure everything ran smoothly, and his ability to understand our vibe and make our guests feel welcomed was incredible. He was the officiant we never knew we needed, and we can't thank him enough for being such an important part of our special day. If you're looking for someone who is dependable, authentic, and truly cares about making your wedding meaningful, Ed Choy is the way to go.
Edward Choy•May 27, 2026Thank you so much Christian, the feelings are mutual. You made my "job" so easy, wow. Family is the right word. I def feel like we're connected and expect invites to future gathering, haha, half joking, but grateful for the connection we have.

Simply the best
We truly couldn’t have asked for a better officiant. From the moment we met Ed, it felt like we had known him for years. He made us feel so comfortable and took the time to really understand us as a couple. Our ceremony was everything we hoped for and more, personal, meaningful, and beautifully delivered. He has such a natural way of connecting with people, and it showed in every part of our day. We’re so grateful he was part of our wedding and would recommend him to anyone without hesitation!
Edward Choy•Apr 22, 2026Thank you Ashlyn! I felt the same way, and the more I got to know you guys the more I knew you had a very special story. What a joy and honor to serve you.

Ed is the best!
Ed provided incredible support and guidance throughout our wedding planning process. His communication style was very open, ensuring we were always on the same page, always checking in with us. The quality of his work was super mindful, thought out, intentional, and resourceful. Ed, was so fun and personable - very easy to talk to. He really got to know us and provided key tips on staying close and preparing for marriage. Ed used great tools specific for our relationship and kept communication open and honest. He opened our eyes to reflect on our relationship and get ready for this new chapter. We truly felt heard and respected throughout. We cannot recommend Ed enough and already miss our monthly check-ins with Ed!
Edward Choy•Mar 24, 2026Thank you so much Cassie! It was awesome getting to know you and Noah and working with you throughout the process. It genuinely felt like friends!
