Ed makes everything easier!
We had little idea about the ceremony at the wedding, we thought it was more like a 'traditional and not too exciting' part of the event, but Ed made sure to give us lots of ideas on how to make it personal and fun! He is super flexible about how the ceremony can be done, let's you customize as much (or as little) as we wanted, and made sure to toss in fun ideas here and there to make sure we are doing everything we want. It was so great to work with him and he puts a lot of heart and effort into understanding the couple and being available for us. Even our friend at the wedding commented 'he seems to be cool'!
Edward Choy•Jul 18, 2026Thank you Shelley! It was so fun meeting and working with you and Zach. I'm so happy to know it was such a great experience for all involved. We're family know, so be in touch anytime if I can help you guys, your family, or friends anytime.

Don’t think - work with Ed, he’s the best
Where to begin? Pastor Ed was absolutely amazing. He was so thoughtful in the pre-calls. The speech that was created had such a personal, emotional component to it. It literally left many of our guests to tears in a good way. He brought fun, good energy, thoughtfulness to each interaction and at the event. We couldn't have asked for someone better to officiate our wedding. He even gave some great advice on how to make the planning process less stressful, and all of our guests absolutely loved him. He is the best - thank you Pastor Ed!
Edward Choy•Jul 9, 2026Wow Sid, thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with me. I would say the same about you. Your energy and passion for life is contagious, which is no wonder you are a successful person, and now husband. Let's stay in touch!

Fantastic Ceremony with Ed Choy
Pastor Ed did such a fantastic job on our ceremony. We really appreciated the planning aspects (where we met with him beforehand to talk about what we wanted plus the rehearsal planning) as well as all the time and effort he put into our wedding. He made the ceremony feel like us and all of our guests complimented him on that. We all felt like he did such a great job making the ceremony slightly religious without being too much as well as lighthearted yet heartfelt. He really made the day so magical for us and we can not thank him enough!
Edward Choy•Jul 2, 2026Thank you for sharing your experience with my Kira and Luke. It was such a joy serving you!

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.
