Introduction
Greetings! I trust you're well. I'd be happy to check my calendar to see if I can officiate your ceremony. Please know that I consistently prioritize the needs and desires of both the Bride and Groom; doing everything I can to make your day, very memorable and special.

Rev. Clyde A. Porter was an amazing choice for our wedding officiant. His service showed nothing but professionalism and efficiency! My husband and I felt very comfortable and confident with Rev. Porter immediately after making the official decision to work with him. We highly recommend any couples to him that are looking for an officiant. We are extremely confident that we’ve made the perfect decision with our officiant. Thank you so much again for everything Rev. Porter and we hope to keep in touch!

An officiant that became part of the family: The union of a child and their partner is one of the most meaningful and emotional milestones in a parent's life. Choosing the right officiant for such a sacred occasion was a decision we approached with care and intention. We wanted someone who not only held the proper credentials but also aligned with the values, spirit, and energy of our family. Rev. Porter was exactly that—and more. From the moment we met him, Rev. Porter brought a calm confidence, professionalism, and warmth that immediately put us at ease. He was organized, clear in his communication, and deeply respectful of the significance of the day. Having a Reverend officiate the ceremony was especially important to our family, and Rev. Porter honored that tradition with grace and reverence. His words during the ceremony were powerful and heartfelt. He spoke beautifully about the sacred bond of marriage, the roles of husband and wife, and the vital role that family plays in nurturing and supporting the couple as they build their life together. His message about legacy and the strength of family unity resonated deeply with all of us. We are so grateful that Rev. Porter was part of our child’s wedding. He helped make the day not only official, but truly memorable—filled with love, meaning, and joy. Thank you, Rev. Porter. May God bless you and your family, just as you blessed ours.

Reverend Porter began our acquaintance with a prompt & polite text back. From that point on he was a great communicator, kind, insightful, experienced, and accommodating. He was very punctual, & so pleasant when we met to go over planning details, and on the day of our Wedding. We had a beautiful, & meaningful ceremony with Rev. Porter officiating. He made the process easy with his warm sincerity, & knowledge.

My husband and I had the pleasure of our wedding being officiated by the Esteemed Rev. Clyde Porter. We, including our family and friends, were amazed at the warmth and the feeling of having a minister who took the time to connect with us and really share as a wedding ceremony should have. We were blessed by his Charisma, his kindness, and his professionalism, which was laced with the warm feel of a Pastor. The ceremony was uniquely tailored to what we wanted, a message to the couple and guests, and a final blessing. We will recommend him over and over again. Please kindly jump at the idea of requesting his services, you will be pleasantly delighted.

Subsequent to establishing the overall 'flow' to the ceremony, Rev. Porter will work closely with the couple to help finalize the ceremony. Additionally, Rev. Porter will work with the couple to schedule/arrange an in-person meeting (prior to the ceremony), if at all possible, to truly facilitate finalizing the ceremony.
