    Amazing time!

    Mike is great at what he does. Made it fun and also special. He went out of his way to help us due to some scheduling issues. He’s great and can’t recommend him enough!

    Flexibility was amazing:D

    When planning our wedding we were on a tight schedule and Mike worked right with us, setting up counseling to save money on the license and going where we needed him to. The entire process was very calming but professional. He showed up on time, well dressed and didn't let vows drag on too long but enough that we were able to really enjoy that moment. He left us with priceless memories that we will carry for the rest if our lives.

    Pastor Michael Newsom's reply:

    Alyssa,
    Thank you so much! I loved getting to know you and Grady better through this process! It was a very special time to share with you and your families! I pray now that the vows have been exchanged, and that all the moments to follow are filled with continued blessings! Congratulations!
    - Pastor Mike

    We personally didn't use this venue but brother Michael did indeed officiate our renewal of it vows.

    I would have Pastor Michael do our service over and over again, anytime!!
    Loved his words, his kindness, his advice, and how he was willing to come help us.
    His genuine caring was so heart touching, I will never forget him and continue to watch him preach at Pathway Church and visit when we are in TN.
    Thank you, Thank you so much, we love you Michael!!

    Yes! Just, Yes!

    We loved how responsive and helpful Pastor Mike was. Planning an out of state wedding can be nerve wrecking, but Pastor Mike was available to answer our questions, give us guidance, and was very professional. Our guests were pleased and complimented us on our choice of officiant for our destination wedding. Absolutely would recommend Pastor Mike to anyone coming to the sevier county area for their wedding!

    Pastor Michael Newsom's reply:

    Erica,
    Thank you for taking the time to leave this review! It was such a pleasure officiating you and Chris' wedding ceremony! I'm glad you and your guests were happy with the ceremony, I hope the bears in the nearby tree also approved! :) Thank you so much for your kind words and for trusting me with your wedding day! I pray you have an incredible marriage, and I cannot wait to hear what the future holds!

    Pastor Michael Newsom is unbelievably amazing.

    Pastor Michael Newsom did an absolutely wonderful, genuine, engaging and kind job at our wedding. My family was raving about him for hours afterward. He makes everyone feel comfortable and is so genuine with his words. I couldn’t be happier and am so grateful. Thank you.

    Sarah,

    December wedding

    The pastor performed our ceremony. He was very responsive from the initial scheduling through the actual ceremony. I would recommend him if you plan to marry in the Gatlinburg area.

    Pastor Michael Newsom's reply:

    Amy, Thank you so much! I appreciate you taking the time to leave me a review! It was such an honor to meet you and Ray and be part of your wedding ceremony. I pray you both have a blessed marriage and when you're in town again, be sure to look me up!

    He is truly amazing!!

    He is amazing!I can't thank pastor Newson enough. He answered all of our questions being we were from out of state. He was very professional, but also felt like family. We received many compliments from our family regarding pastor Newson. If you're looking for a professional, kind and funny pastor he's your guy hands down!

    Pastor Mike was fantastic to work with and did a great job officiating our wedding. We couldn’t have asked for any better. We would highly recommend him. He’s super friendly and a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process.

    Absolutely Perfect

    Pastor Michael was absolutely amazing. He was helpful from start to finish. He met with us prior to get to know us better and inform us of everything thing we needed which made obtaining our license a breeze. He then perform a perfect and personalized ceremony to cater our wants and needs. Followed by follow up communication to ensure us our documents have been delivered.

    Pastor Michael Newsom's reply:

    Brooke!
    Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review for others to read! I am so thankful that I was able to be part of your wedding day. It was a truly beautiful day, and witnessing your obvious love for one another was a real treat! I wish you and Zack all the best in your marriage!

    Mr. & Mrs. Knox

    Pastor Mike was an absolute blessing to officiate our wedding. He took the time to sit down with both of us, and get a little bit of our background history, and what our desires were for our wedding. He even asked what our wedding attire was gonna be like and when he showed up he matched the event perfectly. He put us both at ease as we were both extremely nervous. You can tell he is very compassionate and continues to check on us to make sure we are doing OK. We planned to hire him again when we renew our vowels. We highly recommend Pastor Mike for your venue.!

    Pastor Michael Newsom's reply:

    Shannon!
    Thank you so much for taking the time and leaving a review! What an incredible way to begin that Saturday morning! I really enjoyed getting to know you and Damon better! Watching not only your love for another, but the support of your family that day was truly special! I pray the two of you have an incredibly beautiful marriage and since you mentioned it, it would be an absolute honor to join you for an anniversary celebration one day! God Bless You Both!

    Pastor Newsom was the best.

    Pastor Newsom was the best. He went above and beyond to accommodate our time and place. Our wedding was absolutely perfect because of our choice in him. He was very personable and related to us. We highly recommend. He was a true God send.

    Pastor Michael Newsom's reply:

    Amy! Thank you so much! I woke up this morning to a notification that you posted this review at 3 am! First, please get some rest, but secondly, thank you for making my morning! There is nothing more encouraging than starting your day off with such kind words! So again, thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review for others to read. I hope that you and Chris are doing well, and if there is ever anything I can do for you, please let me know! Next time you come to the Smoky Mountains, be sure to say Hi! - Pastor Mike

    Relatable and personable

    Words can not do justice on how wonderful Pastor Mike is. He made our day next level perfect. He made us feel so relaxed in one of our most nervous moments in life. He slowed us down and helped us soak in the special moment. We hope to keep pastor Mike apart of our forever life.

    Madison,
    Wow!! Thank you so much! I’m truly honored by your kind words, and I’m so glad that you and Tyler enjoyed the ceremony! I hope you both do keep in touch, I can’t wait to see what the future will hold! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review!

    Pastor Michael Newsom's reply:

    Chamberlyn,
    What can I say? You and Michael were an absolute pleasure, and of course when He said He wouldn't cry... #ChallengeAccepted! I don't think there was a dry eye by the end of the ceremony, whether through laughter or joy. I pray you both have a wonderful marriage, and maybe decades from now we can meet back at 4 Points for an anniversary!

    Memorable Ceremony

    If you want a marriage ceremony that is authentic, real, and personal, then Paster Mike Newsom is your guy. In our phone conference prior to the wedding, he walked us through each step of the ceremony prompting us to make important decisions like the unity ceremony, who signs our marriage certificate, etc. He was always willing to make adjustments for personalization. At the ceremony, he was heartfelt in his messages. We loved his lightheartedness and advice! We received ALOT of compliments from our guests wondering where we “found him” we lived in Texas but we’re married in TN. Thank you, Pastor Mike, for making our day memorable!

    Pastor Michael Newsom's reply:

    Michelle,
    Thank you so much for sharing your experience with others! What a beautiful ceremony! I loved getting to know you and Brian, and celebrating this very special day in your lives! I pray you have a blessed marriage, and hope our paths cross again when you visit the area! Congratulations!

    Wonderful experience

    Pastor Mike was very friendly and made our day special. He’s professional and listens to your specific needs. Highly recommend him.

    Pastor Michael Newsom's reply:

    Renee,
    Thank you so much! I have to tell you again how special officiating your ceremony with the Colonel was for me. It is obvious the two of you are madly in love, and being a small part of that story meant alot to me!
