We cannot thank Bill enough for officiating our wedding. His personalized approach and attention to detail made our ceremony truly unforgettable. From the moment we started planning to the exchanging of vows, Bill's professionalism and warmth made us feel so at ease. His guidance was invaluable, and his calming presence added so much to our day. We highly recommend Bill to any couple looking for an officiant who will go above and beyond to make their wedding perfect.

Thank you for saying YES to Brian and Jessica when they asked you to be their Officiant.  It was a beautiful ceremony. 

The way you addressed their vows with a "he said, she said" dialog was so unique and memorable.  Everyone was moved as you delivered it in the most thoughtful, deliberate way. It's like you've done this before!  But for all of us it was the first time hearing these words and they gave us a glimpse into Brian and Jessica's relationship.  We will be forever grateful for that.

Our children are married; we are delighted!  We just wanted to make sure you knew how special the nuptials were to us as their parents.  May God's peace continue to be with you as you unite many more who are fortunate to have you as their Officiant.

We really enjoyed getting to meet with you prior to the wedding to get to know each other and you truly made it a seamless process for us from start to finish.

I am very thankful for your vast knowledge in this field and your preparation that was done prior to this day in order to ensure our ceremony was perfect in every way.  I think our guests really enjoyed our ceremony and that is a sentiment to you and all you contributed to it.  We can't wait for the rest of our lives together and will forever remember your contribution to our forever.   Thank you again!!

We had the pleasure of having Bill as our officiant for our Charleston wedding and could not have been happier with our choice!  Bill was helpful and communicative from the very beginning.  He met with us and helped us figure out what it was we wanted for our ceremony, without even knowing us.  He personalized the ceremony to fit our needs and values.  His words were so beautiful and we got so many compliments on how well done the ceremony was, and how meaningful the words were.  He truly captured our love in just 30 minutes and we are so happy and grateful for all he did.  Absolutely recommend for any couples!

We could not recommend Bill enough! He is amazing and completely personalized our wedding ceremony to our wants and needs making it uniquely special to us. You will have everyone coming up to you to tell you how beautiful your ceremony was and how incredible your officiant was at telling your love story. Would recommend Bill and his services to all new couples!

As a wedding planner I struggled picking an officiant for my own ceremony but after meeting Bill and seeing him perform a ceremony at a wedding I was coordinating, I knew he was exactly the right choice. He spent hours with us before the ceremony talking with us, getting to know us, and figuring out exactly what we wanted for our ceremony. We had so much control over it and he worked so hard to tailor it for us. Once the day arrived, I couldn't believe how perfect the ceremony was. Our friends and family raved about his ceremony and everyone said it was the best wedding ceremony they had ever attended. He so beautifully balanced his own input with what we has asked and delivered our dream ceremony with charisma, enthusiasm, and love. We truly felt like he was excited for us and was a huge part of our day. We can't thank Bill enough for making this moment so special for us. We highly recommend him!!!

Our guests still comment to this day about how special, personalized and intimate our vows were. Bill is the kindest man you will meet. He took the time to talk to both my husband and I separately on the phone to get to know us. He gave us multiple options on how to personalize our vows. He provided documents of bible verses and poems we could use in our vows. He made what could have been a very intimidating process very easy.

-Kelly & Kory, May 30, 2023

Bill truly could not have been a more perfect officiant for our wedding day. From start to finish, He has been an absolute pleasure and so clear on all the details that are involved in this process. He really made the entire ceremony captivating to watch for our guests through his touching words and animated demeanor. Everyone at our wedding could not stop complimenting on the ceremony and how great the officiant was. We are so grateful we chose Bill to marry us and could not recommend him more.

Bill, THANK YOU so much for making Saturday truly the best day of our lives.

Having worked as a wedding photographer in the past, I have worked with many officiants over the years.  The one who always stood out to me was Bill.  I remember how good he was with the couples when he was officiating their ceremonies.  He was always so present, joyful, sincere and caring and made each and every ceremony uniquely tailored to THEM.  I loved that!  So when I got engaged, I immediately knew I wanted Bill to officiate our wedding.  Even when we were looking at venues, Bill was the officiant that was on the top of every venue's list when asked about recommendations.  From our first point in contact with Bill, he was so amazing.  When he talks with the couple, he is focused on nothing but YOU.  He went above and beyond for us with creating the perfect ceremony for us that fit us perfectly.  When it came to the wedding day, Bill far exceeded our expectations!  Our ceremony was the biggest highlight of the day, thanks to Bill.  He was so focused on us and smiling the entire time!  Our wedding pictures even show how wonderful he was!   He even took care of the wedding license before and afterwards for us.  Bill, we are so thankful you were available on our big day.  I couldn't imagine anyone else doing a better job than you.  We feel extremely blessed you were our officiant!

We cannot express how­­ happy and lucky we feel to have had Bill officiate our Charleston wedding. We’d only met him once prior to the wedding, but it was as if we’d known him for years (and this made all the difference being that we had a small, intimate wedding with only 14 family members). He’s professional, personable, warm, and he genuinely cares about what he does, which makes him connect with everyone in the room so effortlessly. We received numerous compliments from family that it was the best ceremony they’d ever witnessed. He’s phenomenal! 

-Taylor & Matt, November 5, 2022

We are so happy that we hired Bill to be the officiant.  Many of our guests complimented us on how he made the ceremony so personal and heartfelt.  Bill listened to exactly what we wanted and made it our dream day. 

 -Kim & Mike, September 17, 2021

Bill, you truly have a gift for what you do and made us feel so special. Our gratitude knows no bounds.

-Chelsea and Caleb, June 1, 2019

From the moment we met Bill, we immediately felt comfortable and understood.  He saw our vision and made sure that we were informed every step of the way.  Weeks later, people are still talking about Bill and the amazing job he did officiating our wedding. My husband and I met in Ireland and we had decided, rather last minute, that we wanted to include a hand fasting ceremony into our wedding. Bill was immediately on board and did a wonderful job directing us and seamlessly incorporated this into our ceremony.  Our guests felt that he was entertaining, engaging and that he really personalized our ceremony. We wouldn't recommend anyone else.  Bill is definitely the right choice. 

 -Gillian & Phil, April 29, 2018

We were extremely impressed with Bill throughout the planning process and ceremony.  He was accommodating, thoughtful, knowledgeable, accessible and patient with us.  He orchestrated a wonderful wedding, made challenging by our desire to meld secular and non-secular traditions.  He helped with ideas to make the ceremony more personal and as concise as we wanted.  We would recommend him to anyone.

 -Ted and Amanda, July 15, 2017

We received countless post-ceremony praises about Bill.  He is incredible, truly. Anyone who has him officiate their wedding will receive the same praises.  His presence is lovely, genuine and full of joy. He tailored the wedding to us—he listened to us, which was so refreshing in planning a wedding.  I am so thankful that we found him and he had the availability to officiate our wedding.  He was the only officiant we seriously spoke to and we knew in the middle of speaking with him that we were done searching.  I have no doubt in my mind that we could not have found a better officiant for our wedding.  In fact, there were a number of times during the ceremony where my husband and I had to remind ourselves to look at each other because we found ourselves looking at him.  He's just so intriguing and such a lovely person. Having Bill officiate your wedding will be a major highlight of your wedding day, I promise. 

-Whitney & David, April 29, 2017

Our ceremony was easily one of the happiest memories that we have as a couple, and it is all thanks to Bill.  We were very unsure about the direction we wanted the ceremony to go in when we first started planning, but Bill walked us through each step and helped us craft a ceremony that was beautiful, touching, funny, and most importantly, uniquely us.

-Katelyn & Rob, March 12, 2016

From the first time we met Bill, he was genuine, personable, and concerned with our happiness. Bill was able to help us merge two different religions into one perfect ceremony.  We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant and would recommend Bill to anyone!

-Lauren and Joe, March 7, 2016

I am writing to express our deepest gratitude.  You are truly special at what you do. 

-Laura & Ryan, May 30, 2015

You did a fantastic job.  We had the time of our lives.  We got many, many compliments on the ceremony! 

-Sarah & Mark, June 6, 2015

At or after most weddings guests usually applaud the food, band, and venue.  All of which was wonderful and received plenty accolades of their own.  However, most praises fell upon Bill.  It wasn't just the words he spoke but it was the way in which he spoke them.  My sister was so impressed that she had Bill officiate her wedding the following year.  He has truly mastered his craft and we would recommend him to anyone with absolute confidence. 

-Michelle & Jake, October 25, 2014

When people ask me what my favorite part of our wedding was, I always say our ceremony.  Bill did such a wonderful job creating a ceremony that fit our wishes.  He created vows that perfectly portrayed our love for each other.  I would recommend Bill to any couple.  He's easy to work with and will go above and beyond your expectations.

-Ashley & Zebb, June 21, 2013

We had a destination wedding in Charleston and were anxious about finding the right officiant.  We wanted someone we felt understood us and the kind of ceremony we were hoping for.  Bill met with us one morning and took the time to ask a lot of questions about our lives, relationship and the big day.  We felt like we had known him forever and knew instantly we had found our officiant.  Bill worked with us to make the ceremony exactly what we wanted and on the day of officiated it beautifully.  He made everyone laugh and shed a few happy tears and we couldn’t have asked for a better person to marry us.

-Christine & Jeff, September 22, 2013

 I cannot say thank you enough for making our wedding ceremony so special!  Most importantly, you found a way to make the ceremony feel exactly like "us" and what we envisioned our special day to be like.  You made the planning process easy and seamless, and you provided insight and expertise throughout the way.  You gave helpful suggestions and were able to answer questions when we had them.  It was very evident that you enjoy what you do, and that made us feel at ease.  It was a truly special day, and we are happy you were able to be part of it.  Thanks again!

-Anne & William, October 7, 2012

 Your poise, sincerity, charm, and graciousness were the perfect complement to our gathering.  I especially appreciated the customized ceremony you created for us.  I had no idea it would even be possible to have a ceremony that felt so "us."  Bill, you went above and beyond in every way.

-Lisa & Seth, October 22, 2011

We could not have been happier with our choice of Bill.  New to Charleston, we searched high and low for the perfect fit for our special day and Bill lived up to, and exceeded our expectations.  He took the time to get to know us as a couple and customized our wedding ceremony accordingly.  Bill’s demeanor and presentation helped create a classic experience that was memorable and tasteful.  We are very grateful.
