Only the best!

Pastor Ed was incredible during (and before) our wedding! We got married on Halloween 2020 and had some silly requests to make the ceremony lighthearted and fun. He was able to accommodate our requests and make them seem very authentic and natural.

Ed was also very helpful during the rehearsal, keeping the whole wedding party inline and giving helpful tips for those participating who may have been nervous.

He was very supportive in the weeks prior as stress levels began to rise . He gave thoughtful and helpful advice to keep us calm. We couldn't image a better officiant for our big day!

Thank you Pastor Ed for all of your support, wisdom, advice and making our wedding day uniquely ours!

Above and Beyond

We had a wonderful experience using Ed Choy as our officiant for our April 2024 wedding. We were nervous about finding an officiant because we wanted the ceremony to feel intimate but didn't have a relationship with pastors in the area. Ed went above and beyond at every stage: from planning, to rehearsing, to the big day. He even ensured small details were planned and executed how we wanted them with the wedding coordinator. Everyone truly enjoyed the ceremony and Ed helped us execute it seamlessly.

Very personable and professional

We had Ed officiate our wedding and completed two pre-marital counseling sessions with him. We really enjoyed our sessions with him, and it made us feel more comfortable come wedding day. For our ceremony planning, he sent over a sample script and several ideas/samples for unity ceremonies, ring exchanges, and vows, which really helped us decide how we wanted to personalize our ceremony. Ed allowed us to customize our ceremony in a way that was special to us, and really allowed us to create and have exactly what we wanted, including when I asked him to change the structure of our vows mid ceremony! Our family and friends commented how much they loved Ed's presentation and delivery of the ceremony. We would recommend Ed to any couple looking for an easy-going, professional, fun, and committed officiant. We loved having him as part of our day and throughout our wedding planning process!
