About
I am a veteran pastor and wedding officiant of over 25 years. I love people and love being a part of bringing together a man and a woman that love each other deeply enough to embrace marriage. I want your day to be about you! I will always give my best to make sure that happens for you. I would love to work together to make it the best day possible for you. Let's talk about what it will take to make that happen.
I love people! I love helping solemnize the relationship that has developed between a man and a woman that has caused them to choose to be joined together forever. It is the happiest of times and one that is not entered into lightly. Who would not want to be a part of something like that?😎 God has blessed me with another avenue to bless people in and for that I am truly grateful!
I look forward to talking with you soon! Blessings, Pastor Dale

We cannot recommend Pastor Dale enough! He stepped in for us at the last minute and made our wedding day absolutely perfect. From the very beginning, he was responsive, professional, and kept us informed every step of the way. He took the time to listen to exactly what we wanted for our ceremony and made sure every detail reflected our wishes.
Pastor Dale was warm, kind, and incredibly professional throughout the entire process. His calm presence helped put us at ease, and he delivered a beautiful ceremony that was both meaningful and personal. We are so grateful that he came through for us on such short notice and helped make our special day everything we hoped it would be.
Thank you, Pastor Dale, for your dedication, kindness, and professionalism. We are truly thankful to have had you as our officiant and would highly recommend you to anyone looking for someone who genuinely cares about making their wedding day unforgettable.

Pastor Dale was absolutely amazing! He went above and beyond to ensure that we could have our dream elopement, and was very flexible and accommodating as we sorted our way through last-minute obstacles. We are so thankful to him for giving us a lovely ceremony (and climbing 177 steps to perform it at the top of a lighthouse), and we highly recommend him to anyone in need of a wonderful officiant!

Pastor Dale did an exceptional job. He blended right in with all of the family and friends that were there celebrating a family reunion. We were throwing a surprise wedding and he jumped right in with both feet and helped us keep the anticipation and excitement alive and gave an impassioned ceremony that had many eyes teared up. Would definitely recommend them in the future to anyone that is looking for his services. Personally, I hope to never have to use his services again.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
An average fee is $200. Just depends on where I will be traveling to and if there is a rehearsal.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I engage them through the quote process. Once hired we will continue to communicate through various means (call,text,email). We go through the process of working up a ceremony and getting it right where the bride and groom want it to be. Then we stay in touch as needed until the ceremony.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
i have a BA in Pastoral Ministry and went to Seminary as well. I have performed over 350 weddings since 2014.
