Mr Alonzo and his wife were very sweet and professional. They made our wedding ceremony simple and memorable . Mr Alonzo was on time and went over everything with us. His wife took pictures for us being it was just myself and my husband. He suggested a very nice and quiet place for the ceremony to take place. Highly recommended Mr Alonzo as wedding officiant❤️

Alonzo was exceptional as our wedding officiant. From the start, he was keen to schedule time with us to discuss what we wanted and what our vision for our wedding was. He was eager to ensure we were happy with every decision and detail.
He suggested venues for our marriage at our request - and we were really happy with one of the recommendations and decided to do as he suggested.
Every step of the way, Alonzo was super responsive - always called/wrote when he said he would, and always so helpful. I genuinely knew he cared about making sure we were happy.
Both Alonzo and his wife Jackie are lovely, kind-hearted people who go the extra mile to ensure that you are happy with the services delivered. We had an issue in obtaining our license - and Alonzo was positive and encouraging in terms of looking at our alternatives with us. He went out of his way to meet up with us another time to be helpful and ensure our paperwork was completed.
The experience was excellent - and I cannot recommend him enough or speak too highly of him. This isn't the kind of service you can use again and again (or that I hope to ever need again!) - but I would recommend 'Strive to be the Best for Jesus' to anyone looking for an attentive, friendly and genuine officiant for their marriage.
Could not be any happier with the service provided.

Mr. Campbells service is nothing short of amazing. Communication was a breeze, and he was able to accommodate our elopement on Halloween day with just a months notice. We initially set our location at Jackson square, but after scoping the area out the day before the wedding, we decided that it wasn't the right place for us. City park was much more appealing, and with less than 24 hours to go, Mr. Campbell was very responsive to the change, making things far less stressful for us. On our big day, he was right on time with his lovely wife to assist. We were fashionably late and actually forgot our marriage certificate along with the champagne in all of the chaos of getting there. Mr. Campbell was unbelievably generous enough to drive out and meet us 2 days later in our hotel room, where we signed the license and celebrated with the cake! Then, Mr. and Mrs. Cambell stayed a bit and gave us a few history lessons on NOLA. It was too cool of them to make the special trip for us.
Wonderful service and amazing hospitality. If you are reading this and trying to make a decision, look no further than Mr. Alonso Campbell.
Sincerely,
Raphael and Lily.

Alonzo and Jackie of Strive to be the best for Jesus, do exactly that. They work with couples to help them create a ceremony that shows how the couple, each in their own way, can create vows that show how we strive to be the best for our partner and will make that promise. These two are amazing, they helped us create vows from our heart that reflect our own personal relationship with each other and well as our relationship with God which will guide us in our marriage. Our vows, we will never forget, because we wrote them together. Our ceremony we will never forget, because Alonzo and Jackie created it not only for us but with us. We are very grateful to have our union officiated and blessed by these two amazing people whom will always be a part of our life.
Details: Wedding • Non-denominational (mentions God) • 51 - 100 guests • Help writing vows will be needed • English • Officiant will not be needed at the rehearsal • Officiant does not need to be present at rehearsal
