    Beautiful Ceremony

    Gary created such a beautiful ceremony for us. He helped walk us through the whole process and we couldn’t be more thankful we had such an amazing minister to officiate our wedding!

    Bride and Groom

    Dr. Gary was so easy to work with. He's accommodating and strives to get to know you on a personal level so that he can provide a bespoke ceremony. Me and my now husband couldn't have asked for a better person to officiate our special day. It was perfect, and I can't thank you enough, Dr. Gary!!

    Functional Christianity's reply:

    I was honored to be a part of your special day! Congratulations to both of you!! You picked a lovely location and your vows were so special

    Adoptable but theologically sound Christian wedding vows after Hindu ceremony.

    Gary Layne was recommended to us by the wedding planner of our Christian son's wedding with his Indian, Hindu bride in Atlanta. He couldn't have been more helpful in reassuring us of his Christian theology while dealing sensitively with the loving couple. He was perfectly on time and gave a meaningful and memorable short speech about the meaning of becoming a married couple. His price for this service was very reasonable and we recommend him without reservation.

    Functional Christianity's reply:

    Thank you so much for the kind words! I really enjoyed our time together and it was a great day! Thank you for trusting me with a very special part of your weekend...

    Smooth and easy

    Gary did a great job of setting up the perfect ceremony. He made it easy by sending over forms to help us curate the whole thing to exactly what we wanted. We got so many compliments on the ceremony!

    We are Thankful for Dr. Layne

    Thank You Dr. Layne for pastoring our wedding at Cavender Creek! He was attentive to our needs and performed a ceremony that was perfect for us. His personality is kind, funny, and easy going! We enjoyed his genuine approach that was tailored to our styles and we were blessed to have him lead us into holy matrimony. We would recommend him to anyone for a marriage ceremony as you will experience that the joy of the LORD is his strength.

    Pastor Gary went Above and Beyond

    My husband’s family speaks Spanish, my family speaks English. Pastor Gary went above and beyond ensuring that both our family’s would feel included by helping us with a bilingual ceremony. He helped us feel at ease with the whole process by being very kind, genuine, and professional. Thank you so much!

    What a wonderful man and officiant!

    Gary was fantastic!! He catered to our every need for our ceremony and even went above and beyond to make our ceremony more personal and authentic for us. We had a mixed religion ceremony being with Judaism and Christianity and Gary delivered a beautiful ceremony custom fit for us. I felt like I could trust him to do anything for our ceremony and it would turn out very well. I highly recommend Functional Christianity for your wedding!

    Our wedding day was perfect with Dr. Layne

    Dr. Layne made our day perfect. He helped us decide what to say and how to make our wedding exactly what we wanted. He also did an amazing job with our premarital counseling (totally recommend!).
