Pastor Bill officiated our wedding last night. He was amazing! I had several guests tell me throughout the night how impressed they were with his service. A fun and structured rehearsal with Pastor Bill resulted in a successful wedding day we couldn't be more thrilled with. Thanks again Pastor Bill!

Pastor Bill was the officiant at our wedding and he did a fantastic job. He was very professional and nice and took the time to get to know everybody. He was easy to get ahold of whenever I had a question. I would recommend him to anybody looking for an officiant.

My now husband and I were looking for a wedding officiant for our July 2015 wedding. Through Thumbtack we found the perfect fit in Pastor Bill Read. We left our initial meeting with Pastor Read knowing that he would provide us with the ceremony we envisioned. Prayer was important to me to incorporate into our ceremony; however, it was equally as important to my fiancÃ© for our ceremony to follow a more secular route. Pastor Read delivered the perfect blend. Prior to the wedding day Pastor Read was in touch with us several times to ensure that we both we ready for the big day as well as to make sure the sermon was what we were expecting. Our rehearsal was well organized and we practiced until everyone understood the order of the day and its importance. On our wedding day (which, by Pastor Reads suggestion, my fiancÃ© and I stood on a platform so that our friends and families saw us the entire ceremony) we were beyond happy with the service. Several guest commented on how much they enjoyed the ceremony. It was just the right length (about 20minutes), highlighted our wants and personalities, and was truly thoughtful and unique. Pastor Read ended the ceremony with an old Irish prayer that is very special to my husband and myself and was the perfect way to start our lives as husband and wife. I have no doubt that Pastor Read will deliver the perfect ceremony for your wedding. It is obvious that this is not something he does for money but something he does as a true service and calling. He is open to any type of ceremony; he listens to your wants, needs and concerns, and makes you feel the importance of this special day. What I have enjoyed most from working with Pastor Read is that my husband and I have found someone who is willing to help and guide us whenever needed through the ups and downs of our marriage. We strongly recommend meeting with this remarkable man and finding out for yourself how great he is. Thank you Pastor Read for making the most important part of our wedding day unforgettable!

Was our wedding officiant for our barn wedding. Really knows his stuff and helps plan the details that sometimes are overseen. Would highly recommend.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
If there is more that just the bride & groom in the wedding or if there is any kind of "entrance" I strongly recommend having a wedding REHEARSAL. Though many venues have an on-sight coordinator, I have found that these individuals have a "one size fits all" rehearsal philosophy and are under-trained to conduct a wedding rehearsal. In fact, most venue and "day-of" coordinators have been grateful for the training, ideas and insights they receive from me as I conduct a formal wedding rehearsal. My quoted prices INCLUDE your wedding rehearsal.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The usual process is: 1. You post a request with Thumbtack. 2. I submit my credentials, details and quote. 3. If you are interested you contact me and we set up a meeting for a mutual interview. 4. If I consent to do your wedding and you decide to hire me you sign the contract and send a non-refundable $100 deposit. The contract details the 5 things I do in exchange for services fee. 5. Fulfillment of terms of contract.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Master's Degree, Pennsylvania (actually, all 50 states and U.S. trust territories) wedding accreditation [not internet non-sense], Over 300 weddings performed, Great reviews, Thumbtack's most prestigious awards.
