Introduction: I officiate at weddings, and I often hear from folks that they loved the ceremony, because I clearly worked to make it personal. I am flexible with regard to travel and wedding site. While I am honored to be part of such special occasion, I am committed to making weddings fun.

I cannot begin to express how thrilled we were with Reverend Erick officiating our wedding!! You will instantly know that he is different from your 'typical' pastor in that he takes the time to get to know you personally. While we are not part of his weekly congregation (we leave an hour and a half away), the Reverend met with us a few times before the wedding for informal sit downs. His casual style and personal approach made us feel extremely comfortable immediately. We feel very blessed to have met Reverend Erick and make it a point to attend his services each year on our anniversary. Jenelle and I feel so fortunate that Reverend Erick has been part of our lives that we are going to trek our family and friends back up to Norfolk to have our son, Hayes, baptized! We cannot recommend Reverend Erick enough!!

Reverend Erick Olsen married my wife, Marzena, and I at Roughland Estate in Norfolk, CT on July 14, 2012. Words cannot explain how happy we were with the way the ceremony was conducted. Before meeting Rev Olsen in person the week of the wedding, we had gotten to know him through a couple of skype chats. These in addition to a questionnaire were very helpful in us getting to know each other. While meeting with him in person before the wedding, we found him to be extremely personable and sincere in his desire to help make our wedding special. Rev Olsen was very open in discussing the format of the wedding and to adding anything in that we requested. For example, my wife is Polish and we added in a wedding custom of bread, salt and wine. Additionally, he helped us incorporate in the ceremony some other symbols and metaphors of incorporating God into our marriage. Rev Olsen words during the ceremony were very meaningful especially his prayers about some of the people who could not be there that day. On a personal level, I would also like to thank Reverend Olsen. I was a little bit nervous and he was talking to me a lot and whispering throughout the ceremony words of encouragement. Also, my wonderful wife was a few minutes delayed coming down the aisle and it was Rev Olsen and I at the altar for a few minutes. He had a very controlled, calming influence, allowing me to relax then and throughout the ceremony. Overall, everything was conducted gloriously and we are lucky and thankful that we found him to perform our marriage. When we visit Norfolk again, we will certainly stop for a Sunday service and thank him again! Josh and Marzena Weaver

FAQs

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been a pastor for 18 years, and I actually started co-officiating while I was still in seminary. I've been honored to preside over dozens of wedding ceremonies, including in recent years same-sex weddings.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
Weddings come with the territory of being a pastor, but I have always felt that it is a distinct honor to have the chance to officiate at the union of two lives. I have heard from couples and guests that they appreciate my sense of humor and the personal touches that I bring to my role as officiant.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Go with your gut. You will know when you've found the right officiant. While I hope that would be me, I hope moreso that couples find an officiant who will help to make their ceremony just right.
