Whether you want to get married TODAY, tomorrow, next week, next month or next year... 😁 I'd love the opportunity to serve you
I'm ready to listen to the vision and ideas you have for your wedding. And with over 1500 weddings, I’ve worked to make your experience simple
I officiate all kinds of weddings - religious and non-religious
My name is Chris Thompson. I'm a Pastor of a local church, and a Marriage Counselor, from Huntersville, NC
I married my sweetheart 32 years ago (May 29th)
I'll make it super easy for you...
STEP 1: Use the link I'll send you to schedule a 15 min no-pressure Zoom/FaceTime video call with me
I'll listen to you and your vision for your ceremony. You can ask me anything and see if I might be a good fit for you
STEP 2: After our call, I'll send you a follow up email with a link to “Secure” me
You get access to me anytime
You'll get tons of valuable married-life resources (recommended podcasts, blogs, books and articles that I've curated) even if you choose not to use me
I have several pastor friends, whom I'd highly recommend and connect you with, if I was unable to officiate your wedding
I make sure you are comfortable and confident that your wedding ceremony is meaningful, personal, encouraging and tells your story
We love it when your marriage is healthy and thriving

We absolutely loved getting to know Pastor Chris and appreciate his attention to the details we shared with him. Our ceremony was beautiful and we loved that he shared examples of vows that helped us make them our own. Thank you so much Pastor Chris for being so genuine and a part of our special day!

Pastor Chris was the best officiant we could have asked for! From our first phone meeting, to rehearsal, to the day of our wedding, we could not have asked for a better experience! Pastor Chris is so kind and personable. Everyone, and I mean everyone, raved about how great of an officiant we had for our wedding. We really wanted our ceremony to glorify God and put emphasis on how perfect His timing is. Pastor Chris did just that. Our ceremony was just beautiful!

Chris did a great job with our ceremony! We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant for our day. You won’t regret going with him! He even worked with us to implement traditional elements into the ceremony. Such a great guy!
