    What an AMAZING officiant!

    If we could give Chris more than five stars, we definitely would! His professionalism and attention to detail was present and evident from Day One. He scripted our ceremony with such precision that captured EVERY highlight and ceremonial nuance that made the day so special and memorable. Chris’s humor throughout the ceremony was a “hit” with our guests, and many of our guests have expressed how much they enjoyed how Chris masterfully officiated our ceremony. We are beyond elated and extremely fortunate that Chris performed our wedding ceremony, and we highly recommend him to ANYONE looking for a more than five star officiant for their special day.

    The BEST Officiant!

    Chris was amazing! From our first meeting(a quick Zoom call that turned into a nerd session) to meeting at our actual wedding, the entire process was easy and what we wanted. Chris made our ceremony special and interactive with the guests, which every one loved & raved about during cocktail hour. Our guests got to be apart of the wedding in a way I've never experienced at other weddings. Truly, if you're looking for an amazing Officiant and want a ceremony people will talk about, go with Chris. You will not regret it!

    A+++++++++++++

    Pastor Chris was phenomenal. We were lucky and blessed enough to have him step in last minute when our original officiant had to back out. I can't imagine the ceremony with anyone besides Pastor Chris! He was lively, engaging, funny, excited and right on the nose for us as a couple and our family and friends. An absolute pleasure.

    Awesome Officiant

    Chris delivered on everything he promised & more. From the first call he asked questions to get to know us and made us feel he's known us for years. It was very comfortable & easy talking to him. He provided us ample of examples for giving of the Bride wording, vow exchanges & ceremony ideas that range from non religious to religious. We are not a religious couple so it was a relief to know he had so many options for us to choose from. The options could also be tailored to our style and preference.. he made it very clear this was our wedding :) He provided a draft and asked us to review it & he would check in with us before our wedding day. On our wedding day he was there early as he promised. Chris rocked our wedding! Everyone loved his words and his presentation of our love. We could not be thankful enough to have been so lucky to find him. And it doesn't end there .. he made sure our witnesses perfectly signed our license and he even sent us a pix of him personally sending off our license to make us feel at ease. The whole process was so easy and painless... we were truly blessed to have found him.

    Amazing Officiant! Look no Further!

    If you're looking for an officiant, look no further!! Chris is professional, personable, responsive, and will tailor your ceremony to fit your vision. We wanted our ceremony to be fun and heartfelt, while incorporating our Christian values. Chris executed this perfectly!

    If you're looking for pre-marital coaching, I'd highly recommend that as well. My husband and I were able to gain valuable tools that we still use today, and Chris is an amazing coach and mediator. We have no regrets in selecting him as our officiant, and would encourage all to book him!

    Chris was an absolute gem as our wedding officiant! From the start, he invested time in getting to know us, ensuring our ceremony was truly reflective of our love story. His attention to detail and thoroughness during the planning process put us at ease. What truly stood out was his commitment to making the ceremony uniquely ours. Chris crafted a beautiful script that captured the essence of our relationship perfectly. On the big day, his charisma and energy made the ceremony both fun and heartwarming. Our guests couldn't stop raving about him! Chris truly made our special day unforgettable, and we are forever grateful. Five stars doesn't seem enough to express our gratitude!

    Could not recommend Chris more highly!

    In short - Chris is funny, charismatic, and professional. I am so glad that we went with Chris as our officiant. His process is well refined and worked so well. From step one I felt we knew exactly what to expect. He was also very willing to incorporate anything we wanted into the ceremony and made it completely seamless. On the day of the wedding, he absolutely crushed it! He had our guests laughing and crying, really getting into it. I had so many people tell us that he was the best officiant they’d ever seen at a wedding and they were 100% right. Thank you so much, Chris, we very much appreciate you bringing your talent and style to our day!

    Chris deserves more than 5 stars!

    Two weeks before our wedding, our officiant ghosted us. Frantically we searched for another officiant and thankfully our venue was able to recommend Chris. Working with Chris is like working with an old friend! He is inviting and incredibly funny. I can't imagine what our ceremony would have looked like without him. Despite our short timeline, Chris was able to make our ceremony special and unique to us! It rained the day of our wedding, but he was quick to adapt to the change in location. Overall, we are very happy to have Chris officiate our wedding. He definitely deserves more than five stars for his work. Thank you again, Chris!

    Unforgettable Ceremony

    From the moment we chose Chris as our wedding officiant, we knew we had made the right decision. Not only was he an absolute pleasure to work with, but he also went above and beyond to ensure our ceremony was as personal and meaningful as possible. Chris took the time to truly understand us as individuals and as a couple, allowing him to tailor the ceremony in a way that perfectly reflected our relationship.

    Chris's blend of personability and professionalism was evident throughout the entire process, making us feel both at ease and confident that our ceremony would be in great hands. And it was! Our guests couldn't stop talking about how beautiful and touching the ceremony was, and much of that is thanks to Chris's exceptional skills and dedication.

    For anyone looking for a wedding officiant who can deliver a truly unforgettable ceremony, look no further than Chris!

    "Your officiant felt like an old friend you've known for a long time."

    Chris Dickens was absolutely the best officiant we could have asked for! Upon first meeting him through a Zoom meeting, we had so much in common with him and we knew it was going to click for us. He was so attentive, reassuring, and encouraging of us being genuine and relaxed, and walked us through every step of the way, and he made our ceremony absolutely perfect. We got so many compliments from our guests, who all felt like he had known us for years from how detailed, understanding and accommodating he was, and I would gladly recommend him for anyone's wedding needs. Thank you for such a memorable experience, and for caring for us like a dear friend!

    The Best Officiant!

    We are so thankful to have had Chris be a part of our ceremony and wedding day! We felt an instant connection to Chris from the moment we met him, my husband bonded with him over Funko Pops and he just made us feel so comfortable and at ease when we met with him.

    He brought so much warmth, laughter and energy to our ceremony, keeping our guests engaged the entire time. Without giving away any of Chris' trade secrets, he incorporated so many special and thoughtful elements into our wedding ceremony, we had a ton of our guests coming up to us afterwards and complimenting what a wonderful job he did and highlighting some of the special things that really set him apart as an officiant -- some guests even said that Chris and the ceremony were one of their favorite parts of the entire wedding day!

    Chris is a true professional -- he's organized, responsive, thoughtful and just a pleasure to work with. He really took the time to get to know us and tailored our ceremony perfectly to our story. A lot of our guests actually thought Chris was a close friend of ours from before the wedding, which is a true testament to how personal Chris made this process and the effort he put in to really getting to know us as a couple. We couldn't be happier with our choice to go with Chris as our officiant and can't thank him enough for making our wedding day so memorable. Highly highly recommend Chris!

    Terrific officiant

    Working with Chris was spectacular. Not only did he make our ceremony memorable, but he also provided great guidance during our pre-martial sessions. We did nine private sessions with Chris and discussed important topics to help establish a good foundation for our marriage. He was very thorough & flexible throughout the process and made sure that our vision for the ceremony came to fruition. I would highly recommend him to other couples.

    Ceremonies don’t have to be boring!

    We booked Chris for both premarital coaching and as our officiant! He helped our relationship grow before the wedding and gave us the most amazing customized ceremony. We had guests telling us all night how much they enjoyed the ceremony! I would recommend him to anyone who is engaged!

    HIRE HIM, you wont regret it!

    I cannot properly express how thankful I am that we reached out to Chris to officiate our ceremony. We were looking for the perfect balance of professionalism, heart and humor and Chris truly ensured that our ceremony was perfect. Originally, we were planning on going with a "free" option and using a friend to officiate, but I'm so glad we didn't, and ended up reaching out to Chris. At first I was reluctant because of the incremental cost, but my now-husband had the good insight: "the ceremony is exactly WHY we are having a wedding. If we spend 5% of our budget of the person that is going to be responsible for that moment, then it will be money very well spent". I'm writing this review without his knowledge so he'll never hear me say this, he was right. Chris is the guy you want officiating your wedding. He is adaptable to all of the various things that can arise and is open to doing whatever you want to do during your ceremony. He is GREAT at working the crowd and making them feel included as well. Finally, we also did the pre-marital counseling sessions that he offers. It sounds antiquated and cliche, like something that only people getting married in the catholic church do, but it really helped us mentally get ready for the wedding and marriage by broaching some tough topics that we hadn't really considered. We did them over zoom and by the end of it felt like we were good friends and that we were now having a friend who knew us very well marry us. Long story short, Chris is the guy you want standing up there with you on your wedding day, worth every penny and more - I am so happy that we had him there to serve such an integral role in our special day.

    Chris is exceptional!

    If you're looking for a wedding officiant who turns your special day into a laugh riot, look no further! Chris is an absolute gem, a one-of-a-kind entertainer who brought side-splitting laughter and an air of joy to our ceremony.

    From the moment Chris took the stage, it was clear we were in for something extraordinary. His impeccable comedic timing, witty anecdotes, and ability to read the room had everyone in stitches. What's even more impressive is how seamlessly he weaved humor into the more sentimental moments, creating a perfect balance of heartfelt and hilarious.

    Not only did Chris bring the laughs, but he also demonstrated a deep understanding of the importance of this moment in our lives. He took the time to get to know us, ensuring the ceremony felt personal and tailored to our story. It was evident that he cared deeply about making our day truly special.

    Throughout the planning process, Chris was a true professional, always responsive, organized, and a pleasure to work with. He went above and beyond to accommodate our requests and made sure every detail was perfect.

    Our guests are still talking about how memorable and unique our ceremony was, all thanks to Chris. If you want a wedding ceremony that stands out from the rest and leaves everyone in tears of joy, Chris is the one to call.

    We cannot recommend Chris highly enough. He is not just an officiant; he is a wedding day game-changer. Thank you, Chris, for making our day truly unforgettable!

    Romantic, yet funny, yet spiritual

    Chris is the man! Tell him I said that when you hire him. He officiated our double wedding (that’s right two marriages at the same time) and he was beyond amazing. Many of our family and friends thought he delivered the perfect balance of romantic, funny and spiritual. Anyway, my (now) wife and I just loved his energy and he has such a positive presence throughout our ceremony. 11 out of 10! Look no further and thank me later. He’s a truly great soul.

    Say Yes to Chris!

    Chris was truly exceptional. From the moment we met, we knew we were in good hands. He took the time to get to know us, our story, and what we wanted for our special day. The result was a ceremony that felt deeply personal and heartfelt.

    His eloquence and presence added a touch of magic to the entire event. He spoke with such warmth and sincerity and it brought so much joy. Our guests were equally impressed and touched by the beautiful ceremony.

    We can't thank Chris enough for making our wedding day unforgettable. If you're looking for an officiant who will go the extra mile to ensure your ceremony is meaningful and unforgettable, look no further. Highly recommended!

    Executed Our Vision and Hyped the Crowd

    From the moment we met Chris, we knew we got the man we wanted to officiate our ceremony. He made the whole process feel smooth and listened to us when we explained the kind of ceremony we wanted. The day-of he relaxed the crowd and in turn made the ceremony feel less stressful and more exciting. We received a lot of compliments about him from our guests, which made him a big success. He knew exactly how to hype up the crowd, how to perform an unplugged ceremony, and when to remove himself from the frame for photos.
