Shelby was easy to communicate with, and reponsive. He made all the changes that we requested for the ceremony. He was on time and dressed appropriately. If you're looking for a secular wedding officiant Shelby is perfect! We had dozens of compliments from the ceremony and I credit Shelby for a lot of it.

From start to finish, Shelby made our small elopement a memorable one !!! He is very sincere and gives the most meaningful speech. He makes you feel as if he was a part of your family. I can honestly say being an officiant was his calling given his gift to make events like these as special as he does. I will tell you no matter what type of service you need, he can get it done for you !This man is who you want for your wedding !!

Shelby was the absolute best.Our original officiant had something come up at the last minute which almost sent us into a panic.My mother in law suggested thumbtack which we had never used before.From our first meeting to the wedding Shelby displayed such professionalism.He came to rehearsal and showed us how to walk in where we needed to be how to stand.He went over and beyond what we expected.I highly recommend him.He made this experience very unique and beautiful.

Shelby was absolutely incredible! He was always responsive during the wedding planning process, providing venue suggestions and script/vows assistance. And then we actually met - he arrived not only on time, but early, and totally prepared! More importantly, though, we found him to be extremely personable, intelligent and confidence-inspiring - the exact kind of person we'd look for in a friend and hopefully he'll become one after he gets back from his crawfish fest!! Shelby was very organized and, tactfully and respectfully, kept our ceremony on track and didn't make us feel rushed. After we completed signing our Marriage Certificate (which Shelby will be personally delivering to the Superior Court today for recording; just got a text from him stating he's already done so!!), he cordially accepted our invitation for cake and ice cream and we got enjoy his wonderful personality, humor, and learn more about him and his life. We couldn't possibly have found a better minister/wedding officiant anywhere than Shelby. Thank you, again, Shelby for making our wedding so memorable. Let us know when you get back - we'd love to get together with you!
