About
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. I truly believe that the Joy and the Spirit of Love (GOD) can be so palpable at wedding ceremonies, that they leave an indelible impression on every attendee; the Bride, Groom, and the celebrants! I truly count EVERY opportunity to officiate, an absolute honor and a privilege. I love partnering with each Bride and Groom - on the day they culminate their personal Love Story! I look forward to connecting with you, soon :) As time is of the essence (with regards to our schedules), let's finalize our calendars, asap. I truly look forward to hearing from you :) Thanks and warmest regards, Rev. Clyde Porter

From the very first time I contacted Rev. Porter, I knew we were in great hands. He was incredibly responsive, professional, and thorough from day one. On our first call, he walked us through exactly what to expect, what we needed to prepare, and shared his philosophy on officiating. That level of care and preparation set the tone for everything that followed. What truly set Rev. Porter apart was how much he empowered us to make the ceremony our own. Rev. Porter provided a variety of options and even shared a template so we could build a ceremony that felt completely our own. This made it simple and stress-free to personalize every moment, and his expert guidance ensured everything came together beautifully. On the wedding day, Rev. Porter delivered a joyful and deeply personal ceremony. So many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed the ceremony and how thoughtful and personal the message was. Several even thought we had known him for years. He has a true gift for connecting with people and creating an atmosphere of warmth and love. Rev. Porter genuinely cares about the couples he marries, and it shows. We are beyond grateful and highly recommend him to any couple planning their wedding.

We had a wonderful wedding Ceremony in Chicago. Reverend Porter did an excellent job. He spoke with us several times before our wedding day, and personalized our ceremony.

We had the pleasure of having our wedding officiated by Rev Porter. He was kind, professional, and made us feel like we had known him for years. Prior to the wedding he gave us a layout of how the wedding would go and ideas of unity rituals. Although it was done in a small intimate setting he did not rush through the process. I want to make a special mention to him traveling through a snow storm to make our special moment happen which shows true dedication.

From the very beginning, working with Rev. Porter was an absolute pleasure and truly an honor. He brought such warmth, professionalism, and intentionality to our wedding day that immediately put us at ease. Our ceremony felt deeply personal, meaningful, and beautifully guided exactly what we had hoped for and more. Rev. Porter took the time to truly understand us as a couple, and it showed in every word spoken. His presence was calming, his delivery heartfelt, and his ability to create a moment that felt both sacred and joyful was remarkable. We received so many compliments from our guests about how beautiful and touching the ceremony was. We are incredibly grateful to have partnered with Rev. Porter for such an important moment in our lives and would wholeheartedly recommend him to any couple looking for someone who genuinely cares and takes great pride in his work. Thank you again for helping make our special day unforgettable. With gratitude, Natasha & Kevin

We couldn't be happier with our experience having Rev. Clyde Porter officiate our wedding! Rev. Clyde was very responsive from the very beginning, and outlined our ceremony in such a way that we were actually able to picture it in our minds. Our wedding was a surprise for our families, and Rev. Clyde was so gracious and professional! We truly feel that God brought Rev. Clyde Porter into our lives - thank you Rev. Porter! We are so grateful to have had you officiate on our special day.
