Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: The service that I perform is unique and personal for each and every couple. Depending on the situation and the couple, sometimes I incorporate a blend of humor along with some comforting words for the very nervous couple. I have also been known to speak to the audience before the service to keep them calm and comfortable (as well as the Groom) before the ceremony, because the Bride is almost always late. As an Ordained Minister and Pastor of a church, I enjoy my work immensely. It gives me so much hope for the future when I see couples getting married instead of just living together. There is nothing more rewarding to see, than a couple that is truly in love. So, if you're really in love, let me help you with your wedding ceremony and allow me to give you premarital counseling, I can help you to forge a lasting relationship based on mutual respect and love, based on God's Word.

Reverend Williams officiated our wedding 12/12/21. We are so happy that we found him. I like that he had a premarital session with us before the wedding, he gave us great advice. The day of the wedding he was there bright and early, and prayed with our entire wedding party. Our ceremony was amazing. Rev Williams brought a very warm and spiritual vibe to the ceremony, while adding his great sense of humor. 10 out of 10 officiant!

Details: Wedding • Christian • 21 - 50 guests • Help writing vows will not be needed • English • Officiant will not be needed at the rehearsal • Officiant does not need to be present at rehearsal

Finding the right officiant is a very important task for any couple. My husband and I wanted to ensure we were being married by someone who is truly an experienced professional. From the moment my husband and I first met Rev Williams we knew he could meet all our needs. His pre-marital counseling was extremely helpful and comforting. He invested time to get to know and understand us. I was impressed by how much he went above and beyond on our wedding day. I recommend him for any couple seeking an officiant who is genuinely passionate about their role.

Details: Wedding • Christian • 101 - 150 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

Reverend Williams did an amazing job on officiating our wedding July 8, 2018 at Astoria World Manor. He was professional, punctual,sweet, great speaker, funny and kept everyone engaged in the ceremony. We met with him a few months prior to the wedding for marriage counseling and he made us feel comfortable and more connected to one another. Rev. Williams was amazing and we loved him officiating our special day. He truly made our ceremony beautiful.

Details: Wedding • Catholic • 51 - 100 guests • Help writing vows will not be needed • English • Officiant will not be needed at the rehearsal • Officiant does not need to be present at rehearsal

FAQs

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    I have done large lavish weddings with hundreds of people in attendance and I have done the most intimate of weddings with only a few witnesses. This ministry has never been based on ethnicity, I have performed ceremonies for many different races and cultures. If you're in love, come to me. Whatever the venue, I will make your wedding memorable and special... As a photographer, weddings, portraits, head shots and family gatherings are our specialty. Give us a call and see how well we handle your photos. We try to catch those in-the-moment pictures and videos that are impossible to duplicate.

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    As an Ordained Minister it is my job to also counsel new couples whenever possible, so premarital counseling is a very large part of the ministry. I believe that people need to really be sure of what they are getting into before they get married. I believe that marriage is for keeps and newly weds should be in it for the long haul... When it comes to photography, it is important to know the level of photographer you are hiring. We mostly use strobe lighting and natural lighting to get better results for your photos. Flash Photography is most commonly used at 'on location' shots.
