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.

Hiring Rev. Porter was, without a doubt, the best decision I could have made for my wedding day! From the very first moment we connected, I knew we were in good hands. The hiring process was a breeze; we simply chatted over the phone, discussing our vision, hopes, and a few quirky ideas for our ceremony. Rev. Porter listened with genuine interest, making us feel seen and heard right away. When he arrived for the rehearsal, he brought not only his professionalism but also a warm and welcoming spirit that eased any pre-wedding jitters. My family quickly fell in love with him, praising his authenticity and kindness. It was clear that he wasn’t just there to perform a job; he intended to perform a pivotal role in our special day. Then came the big day. As the bridal party lined up and anticipation hung in the air, Rev. Porter set the tone perfectly. He spoke with such passion and sincerity, weaving our love story into the ceremony with eloquence and warmth that left everyone captivated. The ceremony itself was incredible—the laughter, the tears, and the heartfelt moments flowed seamlessly, making it not just a ritual but a celebration of our love. I truly cannot recommend Rev. Porter highly enough. He didn’t just officiate our wedding; he made it memorable and meaningful. His presence enhanced the day in a way that I will be forever grateful for. If you’re looking for someone who can bring heart and authenticity to your special day, Rev. Porter is the one for you!
