You need Brad Hughes as your wedding officiant!

Brad Hughes went above and beyond in his role as our wedding officiant. We first were exposed to Brad’s work through a friend’s wedding when we were wowed with the quality of ceremony he performed. When planning our dream wedding, we knew that we had to have Brad as our officiant! From the first phone call, Brad brought a high level of energy, attention to detail, and compassion in working with us to plan our ceremony.

In the week leading up to our wedding, Brad broke his leg. With an injury like that, it would have been totally understandable if Brad could no longer perform his duties. However, Brad showed us once again why he is truly no an ordinary officiant! Brad followed through with performing our ceremony, broken leg and all. The ceremony itself was perfect and everything we had dreamed of. We had numerous guests tell us it was the best wedding ceremony they had ever witnessed. We both come from Catholic families and several relatives told us that they usually do not like ceremonies not held at the Church, but Brad’s ceremony changed their opinion!

Brad Hughes was an incredible officiant for our wedding and we would highly recommend his services. I hope you have the honor of working with Brad or any of his excellent colleagues at the Love Story Weddings teams for your wedding.

Phenomenal Ceremony

Our experience with Brad Hughes was unbelievably fantastic! We had met with him via Zoom several times in preparing for our ceremony, and he listened to every single one of our requests in what to speak about for our ceremony. We wanted a ceremony service that would be something to remember, and it was beyond what we could have ever imagined. Each of our guests came to us and had noted that it was the most beautiful, heart-felt, and unforgettable services they’ve ever been to, and we felt the same way! This was worth the investment, as it truly set the tone to the beginning of our marriage, which really and truly is the most important part of your wedding day. We cannot recommend him enough!

Rev. Brad Hughes is super professional and attentive to his couples. We worked with him for a wedding and we communicated via email about the ceremony plans. He lead the rehearsal exactly how he planned with the couple. The wedding day was perfect and we would highly recommend booking Love Story Weddings!
