Pastor Dusty’s officiating of our ceremony was the highlight of our wedding. We contacted him barely two weeks out, he heard our concerns and what kind of ceremony we wanted, and he was so responsive and receptive! We felt assured we made the right choice leading up to our day and on the day he really spoke to us and what we desired for our marriage. Thank you so so much Pastor Dusty!To anyone considering an open, kind, friendly, officiant for your wedding please don’t hesitate to book Pastor Dusty!

We absolutely loved Dusty! From our first zoom meeting we loved his personality and made us feel so comfortable. The wedding day was absolutely amazing, he kept our ceremony short and sweet like we talked about while still making it personal and memorable. Our family and friends loved him! Thank you so much Dusty for everything!
