About

I retired 8 years ago after pastoring for 39 years and being an Army Reserve Chaplain for 32 years. I have been told that I do a nice wedding as I concentrate on making the couple comfortable and keeping them smiling. Through the years I have officiated at many weddings and continue to do so while pastoring a small church and working as a realtor. I am easy to work with and want you to have your perfect wedding in every way possible. I only do Christian weddings since I remain a pastor and will only officiate heterosexual unions. This is not a judgmental decision but one that would terminate my ability to pastor at the two small churches where I presently serve.

Pastor Dennis was absolutely wonderful! From the moment we met him, he made us feel completely at ease. His warm personality and great sense of humor brought such joy and peace to our ceremony. He spoke with such genuine kindness that it felt like we had known him our whole lives. Our wedding couldn’t have been more perfect, and a huge part of that was thanks to him. We are so grateful he was part of our special day!

Our experience with Dennis was perfect. We ask for a simple ceremony and he did exactly that. He stepped right in like he had known us forever. We also had a photography couple from the app and they worked extremely well together with Dennis. The picture i posted is of the 3 of them. They are all veterans ❤️
