About
CONGRATULATIONS on your upcoming wedding! I make every effort to tailor the ceremony to meet the desires of the couple, which is why I prefer to have a meeting prior to the wedding date, so that we are all on the same page. When I quote, it means that I am available for your date. It then becomes important to reserve that date. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT YOUR OFFICIANT PAYS A SIGNIFICANT FEE TO THUMBTACK FOR THE PRIVILEGE OF QUOTING YOUR CEREMONY IF YOU RESPOND TO THE QUOTE, WHETHER OR NOT THERE IS A FINALIZED AGREEMENT OR SALE. I do not usually attend wedding rehearsals as all the officiant does is stand there like a bump on a log while the wedding party rehearses entry and where to stand. I encourage you to read the entire profile and all reviews of every officiant that responds to your request. I enjoy people and having the honor of being a part of such a special and important day in their lives. I conduct this service out of love and respect, not for the money. The majority of the times, I am made to feel like a family member myself. Please have a look at pastorhoward.com to know more about me and what I do.

I was looking for a wedding officiant very last minute and Pastor Gunter was the first to contact. I had a good feeling about him, so I just went ahead and chose him. We talked one time and he had only one week to prepare. We got stuck at the probate court before the ceremony, so he patiently waited with no fuss. He was the one that picked the beautiful area that we got married at and gave us wonderful advice right before the ceremony. The ceremony was absolutely amazing due to the beautiful prayers and vows he had written himself. The wedding couldn't have been better! He was more outstanding than I could have asked for.

He was absolutely fantastic! Also Super reasonable. My husband and I lost (he decided he couldn’t make it) our wedding officiant two days before the wedding however we did find Pastor Gunter just in time for our wedding. Last minute deals can be hell but Pastor Gunter made it beautiful and fun. Overall experience was amazing.
Pastor Howard Gunter, D.M.'s reply
It was a real honor and privilege to serve you Len. Thank you!

Pastor Howard Gunter was our officiant for our wedding on August 19th. Ever since first contacting him, he was always professional, quick to respond, and friendly. He arrived on our wedding day early and very well dressed. He exceeded all of our expectations! He truly made our ceremony special. Thank you so much for everything, I couldn’t have asked for a better officiant for our wedding!!

Howard was absolutely amazing! He was very welcoming. I knew the moment i met with Howard he was the perfect pastor for us! He made us feel comfortable and really gave us the most incredible ceremony we could have asked for. I can say Howard doesnt perform ceremonys for the money he truly has a passion for what he does. He not only did a excellent job but he gave us something much more something my New Husband and i were able to take with us. He opened our eyes and explained how to love and respect one another and for that i am so greatfull. A wonderful way to start our marriage.
Pastor Howard Gunter, D.M.'s reply
Thank you Melissa for the honor of serving you. Best wishes and continued prayers for you and your family.

Howard was wonderful and it was a great experience having him officiate our wedding. The first meeting with him was fun and insightful. I knew from the moment that I met him that he would be the one to marry David and myself. Although things were happening in his life it didn't interfere with our ceremony. We would like to thank him again for being apart of our special day.
Pastor Howard Gunter, D.M.'s reply
Joanna, it was so good to be a part of your day. I enjoyed it very much and also meeting so many of your friends and family. May your marriage remain blessed eternal.
