10/10 Would Hire Again - Aaron is Great!

I can't say enough about how great Aaron is. He was very communicative and accommodating for our small ceremony and was an essential part in the success of our wedding. He was very helpful in helping plan the ceremony, giving us options on what we wanted shared, and overall doing a great job executing in all that he promised. Additionally, Aaron has made our experience doing marital counseling approachable and meaningful. He allowed us to speak to things of importance to us, while also bringing value in his insights based on the SYMBIS test. I would recommend Aaron 100 times over to anyone looking for a great pastor and wedding officiant.

Best Officiant in Charleston, SC

Pastor Aaron, he’s incredible. I looked and interviewed all the officiants over the phone in Charleston area and I knew right away he was the right person to officiate my daughter Carolyn’s wedding at legare Waring house on June 1st. He did an amazing job. He made the time to get to know the bride and groom and brought to life their vision. The wedding ceremony was amazing. We were so happy with Pastor Aaron. All the wedding guests were saying it was the best wedding ceremony they’ve ever been to. I highly recommend Pastor Aaron DeBenedetto don’t look any further.
