Introduction: Personalized and knowledgeable wedding officiant with over 20 years of experience officiating at weddings. As I look back by over my 20-some years of ordained ministry, my fondest memories are of transitions, where people embarked on new journeys of the soul. Every wedding I have performed has been unique, yet they have all held in common the profound moment where two people officially mark the beginning of a new journey together. My name is Linda Burson and I am a fully ordained minister in The United Methodist Church. I work with all couples seeking a meaningful Christian or secular celebration of the moment you take one another as partners joined in marriage for life. I would love to work with you to make your wedding uniquely your own. Please message me as soon as possible to confirm your date and time. I look forward to celebrating with you! Best Wishes, Rev. Linda Burson, Minister and Officiant From This Day Forward

Linda was AMAZING. I reached out to her a little over a week before our wedding, and she responded so quickly more than happy to help. The day of our rehearsal and took over (which was appreciated). She helped our bridesmaids & groomsmen with how to properly walk in and stand in their row behind us (bride/groom). Not to mention she was the sweetest and made us all feel so comfortable. Linda has even taken it upon herself to send our marriage license to the county clerk for us. Thank you again Linda, for being so sweet.

Details: Wedding • Non-denominational (mentions God) • 151 - 200 guests • Help writing vows will not be needed • English • I'm flexible

Linda was a phenomenal officiant. My wife and I couldn't be happier with how our day turned out. We wanted something very low key, very stress free. Linda was so accommodating to our needs. We had such a perfect ceremony, and Linda worked with us to personalize it just how we wanted. I wouldn't change a thing. If you're looking for an officiant for any size or type wedding, you can't go wrong with Linda.

Details: Elopement • Non-religious (no mention of God) • 20 guests or fewer • Help writing vows will not be needed • English • Officiant will not be needed at the rehearsal • Officiant does not need to be present at rehearsal

Linda officiated my wedding. She was so professional and caring throughout the process. She sat down to with both of us and asked the questions to remind of why we were making this lifelong commitment to each other. It was inspiring and thoughtful! I do highly recommend her services!

I hired Linda to help my daughter declutter before moving to another state. Linda worked patiently and tirelessly with her. She made multiple trips to goodwill to make it easier for my daughter to part with things she really didn't need, while planting the seed in my daughter's mind that getting rid of excess things that you don't need is a great thing. My daughter said she was awesome and I wholeheartly agree. She is a blessing.

Details: Removal of unwanted items • Moving preparation • Closets • Garage • 500 - 1,000 sq ft • Very unorganized

FAQs

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When working with a couple , I always like to ask questions first. I want to be very clear what my you are hoping for so I can best serve your needs.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a Master of Divinity from Yale University and over 20 years of ministry experience.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I began in church ministry (which involves doing a lot of weddings!) after attending Yale University, where I received my Master of Divinity. When we moved to Tennessee, I began in real estate out of my love for people and my interest in how our home is so central to our lives. I wanted to be more flexible with my schedule while my son was going through his teen years. My main “ministry” outside of real estate became officiating at weddings. Everything changes on the day you say your vows! I recognize this and seek to make your day special and meaningful. I help you design the wedding service of your dreams - one that matches your relationship, your values, and your beliefs.
