Honestly, if I could give him 10 stars I would! Of course me being the bride that does too much on her wedding day... I was late.... I was so worried that Minister Adrian was upset! I got there and he still conducted the ceremony beautifully! He made me feel so at peace! He’s funny and professional and very thorough... thank you for everything Minister!

My husband and I had been on the search for someone to marry us, and because they play such a big role in the wedding, we wanted to find the perfect fit. Minister Adrian was the guy!
We hired him for our 1/16/21 wedding. We spoke with him on the phone, and immediately felt like we found “the one”. He was kind, professional, genuine and accommodating. He provided us with an outline of the script for the ceremony, and was very receptive to the changes we had made. Our ceremony was beautiful, and exactly as we wanted it. Thank you Minister Adrian, we are so grateful for your services! 😊

Minister Adrian did a great Job making our wedding day special. We did marriage counseling with him as well and that made the dynamic for our wedding so much more intimate. It had felt like we knew the Minister for years like a family friend. He helped us to grow closer to each other by getting us to start conversations that were necessary to our relationship. He let us feel comfortable about our day and showed up early to help facilitate. Thank you Minister Adrian for your help with the Louis family.

After reviewing Minister Johnson online and I had a chance to talk to him, I knew I wanted to officiate my wedding. He made it very easy for us to get down the aisle and my guess was entertained the whole time. Thank you for masking our day come true. P.S. we even got him crying at the ceremony 😊

An additional fee will be charged for travel to the West Coast of Florida, North of Baca Raton and South of North Miami.
Discounts are available for military personnel, rcent college graduates and seniors.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I love working with new people who are truly in love.
1. Love makes you happy.
2. Love makes you hopeful.
3. Love makes you grateful.
4. Love makes you inspired.
5. Love changes your life.
We will spend some time talking so I can get to know your story. How did you meet? How long did you date before you decide to marry? I will also be looking for the love between the two of you. And believe you me, a professional can always see the love! Then we will talk about the wedding.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been a spiritual adviser, ordained minister and motivational speaker for ten years now. I began when I was teaching life skills at one of the homeless shelters. A couple liked my class so much they asked me to marry them. So I got my certification and performed their wedding three months later. It was a beautiful wedding with a lot of fond memories.
