Pastor Chris Thompson and his officiant services are simply outstanding. I had the pleasure of working with him on my wedding day, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the moment we met him, Pastor Chris exuded warmth, kindness, and a genuine passion for what he does. His approach to officiating a wedding is truly unique. He took the time to get to know my partner and me, understanding our values, beliefs, and the essence of our love story. This personal touch made our ceremony feel intimate and meaningful. Throughout the planning process, he was always accessible, providing guidance and support, which eased our nerves and made us feel at ease. On the big day, Pastor Chris delivered a heartfelt and eloquent ceremony that resonated with both us and our guests. He beautifully captured our journey as a couple, infusing just the right amount of humor and sincerity. It felt as though he had known us for years, which made the ceremony all the more special. Beyond his remarkable officiating skills, Pastor Chris is a true professional. He arrived early, well-prepared, and dressed immaculately. He coordinated seamlessly with our wedding planner and other vendors, ensuring everything ran smoothly. I cannot recommend Pastor Chris Thompson's officiant services enough. If you're looking for someone who will not only create a meaningful ceremony but also be a genuine and supportive presence throughout the wedding process, he is the one. Thank you, Pastor Chris, for making our special day truly unforgettable.

I’d have to say Pastor Chris did an outstanding job with only a couple weeks notice and I know that he’s been in the ministry for 30 years but he did an outstanding job …me and my bride were so excited all the guest was filled with the atmosphere and the admiration words that Pastor Chris said over the service… I would highly recommend Pastor Chris to anyone. He greeted us like he had known us forever, and with the brief descriptions of how we met and where we had got to the altar, it was like he had already heard the story a thousand times and he made it exciting and entertaining and most importantly he brought God into our wedding as we became one… with his energy and his devotion and his love and passion to see two people united together he brought so much joy to the wedding, the wedding party, and all the guest… after the wedding, they thought that Pastor Chris was mine or my brides Pastor and I told him no I said actually I got on the website looking for an officiant for hire…. they could not believe it they thought that he had known us for years…. this is fact, and this is true… everybody was talking after the ceremony what a great job he did so if you’re looking for a pastor to officiate your wedding, Pastor Chris is the guy I would recommend him 10 stars… Thank you Pastor Chris… you made our day amazing

We would highly recommend Pastor Chris! I connected with him on Thumbtack earlier this year, and he promptly offered to meet with my now husband and I over Zoom. After meeting with him over Zoom, we hired him, and he kept in contact with us over email, phone, and in person throughout the entire wedding planning process. He even met with us at his church office twice to go over plans. One face-to-face meeting was shortly after we hired him so that we could meet him in person and discuss our vision for the wedding. The second in-person meeting was a month before our wedding to go over plans one more time and to discuss details that had changed. Pastor Chris was very professional while also being funny, incorporated everything we wanted into the wedding, and was very punctual to both the rehearsal and the ceremony, arriving when he said he would. He even took the time to help move chairs up to the reception area and take photos with us. Again, I would highly recommend him. Thank you, Pastor Chris, for everything!

Pastor Chris officiated our marriage and was wonderful. He was so kind and helpful in the planning of our ceremony and offered great tips for a ceremony timeline and writing our own vows. He was professional and honestly everything we were looking for in a wedding officiant. Could not be happier.
