Your wedding ceremony is a distinctive and personal statement shared with friends and family, and is a purposeful and powerful milestone within your lives. It's the basis for your partnership as well as your future together. Your wedding ceremony doesn't have to be an expensive investment in order to create a long lasting and beautiful foundation for your future.
My name is Griffin Dunlop. I'm an ordained Christian minister. I am a down-to-earth, fun-loving guy with a strong desire to help others. Your wedding day is a milestone in your lives, and I consider it a privilege to be a part of your day. Planning a wedding can be full of stresses. My goal is to not add to your stress, but to help you feel comfortable that your ceremony will be exactly what you want. That is why I not only refuse to charge couples for customizing their ceremony, I encourage it. This is your ceremony, and I don't feel it's right for me to dictate what is said.

Griffin did an amazing job at our wedding. We received many compliments on how he made the whole setting very relaxed and genuine. We couldn't have asked for a better minister to perform our wedding. I HIGHLY recommend him and give him glowing reviews!! He's truly has a gifting in what he does. I can't thank him enough for all he did!

We are so lucky to have found Rev. Griffin to officiate our wedding! He helped us create a custom ceremony for our blended family that was absolutely perfect. I don't think there was a dry eye in the house.
Griffin is a professional seasoned veteran with weddings. He is fun, easy to get along with, knowledgeable, and an invaluable resource for all of our questions. He truly made our wedding day special.– Cindy

When it came time for my fiance and I to get married, we were lost. We knew we wanted to get married at a park that holds many great memories for us, but that was about it. We knew nothing about how to plan the details for the event.
We contacted Griffin and are so lucky we did. He has the knowledge and experience needed to guide us through the process. He custom fit our ceremony so that it was exactly what we wanted. He coordinated the ceremony with our live musicians, soloist and the two friends who did readings for us.
He is such a nice and accommodating person who was a pleasure to work with. We feel blessed to have found him!– Allen
Question and answer
Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A. Take time to meet face to face with the person you are looking at to perform your ceremony. Your wedding ceremony is an intimate and important event in your life, and you will feel more comfortable (less stressed) if you meet your officiant before you hire them.
Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?
A. I believe I stand out from other wedding officiants because I don't have just one or two ceremonies and ask couples to choose which one they want. Instead, I help each couple custom fit their ceremony to reflect their own unique wants and personalities.
Q. What do you like most about your job?
A. I love being there at the start of a new family!
Q. What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A. One of the most common questions I get is, "Are you willing to (fill in the blank)?". My answer is most always, "Yes". When I work with a couple, I am acutely aware that this is their wedding day - not mine. If the couple wants me to wear a sailor's hat and do the ceremony in pig latin - so be it!
Q. What is your greatest strength?
A. I believe my greatest strength is my experience and my ability my ability to never get stressed out. Gosh...that's two strengths, isn't it? Oh yeah, and my sense of humor!
Seriously, your wedding can be a very stressful time. I believe my personality can be a very calming factor in your day. My couples feel at ease knowing that I do everything in my power to see that their ceremony is exactly what they want, and that nothing will happen that will throw me off my game.
