    Caring, respectful, and flexible

    Rev Perry was just what we were looking for in an officiant. As two individuals with different belief systems, he was able to make us both feel heard, included, and respected in the ceremony and in the process leading up to it. As a couple, he was able to make us feel like we were his priority, even though we knew he had many other weddings happening around the same time! While we hired him the same way we did our other vendors, in the end it felt like we had someone who knew us and cared for us officiating our wedding ceremony which was very special.

    Rev. Perry Hardison's reply:

    You are very kind Carly. Thank you very much for taking the time to do the review. It was a joy and a pleasure being part of your big day and working with you. May your life be full of happiness! With gratitude, Perry

    Perry is the BEST

    Rev. Perry Hardison is such a sweet soul. He truly is the best wedding officiant! I am so fortunate that he was able to officiate my wedding. He made the process so easy and fun! Day of the wedding everything was perfect! He is truly the best and really cares about you as well. Would highly recommend Perry to anyone!

    Highly recommend

    Pastor Perry was great to work with. We used his services for premarital counseling as well as our officiant. Highly recommend the counseling as it not only
    Benefits you and your partner, but also
    Spend more time and get to know Perry and he gets to know you. He was very responsive and answered any questions we had. During the ceremony, Perry’s mic kept cutting out, but he did a great job adjusting his voice so everyone could hear. Would definitely recommend Perry for your wedding

    Rev. Perry Hardison's reply:

    Thank you Rebecca. You are very kind! I greatly enjoyed working with you. If you need anything, anytime, feel free to reach out. Stay in touch!

    Fantastic!!

    Perry officiated our wedding almost two weeks ago and he was fantastic! We had a zoom call with him to meet him and after the call, my now husband immediately said that he liked him. He made the entire ceremony so comfortable. We even got compliments about him from the rest of our bridal party and multiple guests. We would recommend him to everyone! Thank you, Perry, for making our day so special!

    Rev. Perry Hardison's reply:

    Thank you so much for the kind words Barbara! I had a great time. I wish you both every happiness.

    One of a kind!!!

    My husband and I can not say enough about Rev. Perry. He listened to exactly what we wanted our ceremony to be and he created exactly that. He made us feel so at ease during the entire process and truly fit right in with our crowd. Rev. Perry gave us the right mixture of personal and religious for the ceremony and even made sure his blessings at both the rehearsal dinner and reception were personal. We are so thankful and blessed to have found Rev. Perry and to have him as such a big part of our day!!!

    Rev. Perry Hardison's reply:

    Thank you so much Kelly. I had a great time. If you ever need anything, please let me know! I wish you both every happiness.

    Beautiful, concise ceremony! Perry is such a calming, joyful presence

    We loved working with Perry for our wedding ceremony! We wanted a non-religious ceremony that wasn’t too long. The ceremony he put together was perfect in length and content, and he even took a look at each of our self-written vows ahead of time to make sure they were similar in general format and length. At the rehearsal, Perry let us know about common slip-ups that might happen and how to respond to them, and he gave perfectly-timed reminders for each portion of the ceremony. He was such a calming, grounding, welcoming presence both at the rehearsal and during the ceremony! I highly recommend working with Perry for all of your wedding-related needs.

    The Perfect Officiant

    We loved working with Perry! He designed a lovely ceremony based on what my husband and I were looking for, and helped our whole ceremony run smoothly. He was easy to get in touch with and very responsive to our questions! Would happily recommend him to anyone.

    The absolute best!

    We had the opportunity to work with Perry for our wedding on a recommendation from our venue and he was such a delight. We had a planning meeting where we were able to explore the different ceremony options that we might be interested in and Perry was very patient and adaptable with us and easily able to translate our ideas into an elegant and flowing ceremony structure. At our rehearsal and on our wedding day he gave off the most comforting and calming vibes, ensuring that we weren’t too nervous and that he was there to guide us through our vows every step of the way. His experience showed not only to us but to our guests as well as they were very complementary of his delivery throughout and enjoyed getting to meet and spend time with him outside of the ceremony. He made our process so simple and smooth that we would highly recommend him to other couples in search of an officiant in the future!

    Professional, accommodating, and responsive

    Perry was great!! He was very flexible to arrange our consultation and then very responsive throughout the whole process. He tailored the ceremony to fit us and incorporate a perfect amount of religion into the ceremony. He was also a tremendous help during the Rehearsal Ceremony.

    Rev. Perry Hardison's reply:

    Thank you so much for the review Adam. I had a great time celebrating with you and Tess. Every happiness to you my friends. May you have a long, happy, fulfilling life together.

    Beautiful ceremony

    Perry was the perfect choice for my daughter's wedding. He spent time with the bride- and groom-to-be for months prior to the wedding getting to know them and counseling them. On wedding day, he made their ceremony special and even made the light rain a beautiful part of the ceremony that we will never forget.

    Personable, caring, professional - the BEST Officiant

    We hired Perry to officiate our July 31, 2021 wedding. After our initial zoom call with Perry, I was so happy we found him! Finding an officiant that we connected with was extremely important to my husband and I because we were only going to know this person for a few months before they were leading our Wedding Ceremony and marrying us in front of our closest family and friends. After we spoke to Perry, we knew we had found our guy. He is warm, caring, personable and an experienced officiant. We chose to do pre-marital counseling with Perry, which was very beneficial and provided us with important tools we will use throughout our marriage. Thanks to Perry, our ceremony was perfectly tailored to us and representative of us as a couple. Deciding on an officiant is a personal decision because it has to be the right fit for you, but I cannot imagine Perry not being the perfect fit for any couple. We thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Perry and look forward to staying in touch with him. Thank you Perry for everything!

    Rev. Perry Hardison's reply:

    Thank you Emily for the very kind thoughts and the time you took to share them. I am humbled by what you said. It was my honor and pleasure.

    Perry was wonderful!

    Perry was a wonderful wedding officiant! Our family and friends like him very much!
    He was so responsible for our wedding, we had a zoom meeting discuss all the details and preference before the wedding as well as he arrived half an hour early for the wedding!

    We really appreciate that he can host our wedding - he was very professional and smiley to everyone. He was so kind and nice that make us enjoy the wedding very much!

    We truly recommend Perry to anyone who is looking for a wedding officiant!

    Amazing Ceremony

    He took what we wanted and made it even better. We had stuff we wanted included but he made it his own. We couldn't have asked for a better ceremony. I would recommend him to anybody looking to get married.

    Rev. Perry Hardison's reply:

    Thank you Ali. That is very kind of you. I am glad you were happy with it. I hope you have a lifetime of happiness.

    Absolutely Wonderful

    Reverend Perry was absolutely wonderful and I am so happy we chose him to officiate our wedding. He is so personable, kind and let’s you actually be in charge of things for your ceremony. My (now) husband was behind us and reverend Perry even helped letting me know he was coming around the corner so I could hide behind my father (since we were married on a trail). I let him know ahead of time about our goofy kiss before our actual kiss and he let us enjoy that moment. Not once did I feel like I couldn’t change anything. To top it off we were supposed to get married Oct 31,2020 and since it was (now) going to be so small we moved it to Sept 26,2020 and Reverend Perry still was willing to officiate. I definitely recommend 10/10! Thank you Reverend Perry!

    Rev. Perry Hardison's reply:

    Thank you Katelyn. It was a great joy to officiate your wedding and I am so glad it worked out how you wanted it to! I am grateful that you took the time to write the review and even more grateful that you were happy with everything.

    The perfect officiant for our wedding!

    Perry was the officiant at our (socially distanced) wedding and we absolutely loved him! He was very accommodating when we had to make changes to our wedding due to covid. More importantly, he was extremely helpful with the decisions we had to make about the ceremony itself. He provided a lot of different options, both religious and non-religious, allowing us to customize it to exactly what we wanted. On the day of the ceremony he arrived early which was comforting when there were so many other things to worry about that day. He was friendly with everyone there and he honestly felt like family. The ceremony was perfect. Highly recommended!

    Rev. Perry Hardison's reply:

    Thank you Brent. It was an honor to be part of your wedding. Thank you for allowing me to join in your celebration. I wish you both every happiness.

    Highly recommend!

    Perry was the officiant for our wedding in December 2019. He was great to work with. Prior to the wedding, he sent a handbook of options for each part of the wedding (welcome, vows, readings, etc). We were able to use his guide to piece together the ceremony we wanted. He was very flexible and willing to add, omit, and rearrange the ceremony how we wanted. He even sent over a final script for us to approve. We were very pleased with the ceremony and highly recommend Perry for anyone getting married!

    Rev. Perry Hardison's reply:

    Sarah: I cannot thank you enough for the review and for the honor of officiating your wedding. I hope you have a wonderful life together.

    Peace and joy my friends,
    Perry

    Perry rocks!

    Perry was incredible!! He's such a sweet and funny person. He made my husband and I feel so comfortable sharing things with him and he made our ceremony perfect and personal. He came to our rehearsal and stayed for dinner at the wedding, doing the blessing before dinner. He also offers non-religious ceremonies if that is what you prefer. We did religious though and it couldn't have been more perfect. I would 100000% recommend Perry!!

    Perry is wonderful to work with. He was extremely prompt in responding to any of my questions. The ceremony was short and sweet, exactly what we wanted. He took care of all of the logistics and made us feel at ease, I would highly recommend Perry!
