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.

Pastor Gunter did an awesome job officiating our very hot Ameila Island beach wedding on July 16th, 2016. He reached out from the very beginning before we hired him with a personal phone call that helped us get to know his down to earth personality and made us feel so much better at ease of what to expect.. He was prompt, patient and mostly willing to do whatever we wanted to make our day perfect. We highly recommend him to all. Kenny & Shelley Coon

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 Gunter officiated our wedding on June 11, 2016 on Anastasia Island State Park Beach and we couldn't have been happier with his services! He made my husband Kevin and I, as well as our daughters feel completely comfortable and went out of his way to make our day perfect! We were certainly blessed to find him and we would recommend him to anyone!
Pastor Howard Gunter, D.M.'s reply
I will always remember and cherish the blessing received in serving you. Emily, you had me wrapped around your little finger from that first phone call. I can still hear that wonderful Southern Accent ringing in my ears and then there was the beauty to go with it on your special day. Best of everything to you both.

Pastor Howard Gunter did a wonderful job officiating our wedding! We were very happy with his delivery of vows and the readings he added. They were very fitting for us. He came early before the ceremony to get to know us better. He was very accommodating to provide us with traditional Presbyterian vows. We appreciated his responsiveness, professionalism and attentiveness. I would recommend him as an officiant to anyone!

It sure was a fun wedding - even the last minute dash to get everything inside to beat the rains. It's always great to include the whole family in the event! Thank you for the honor.
