Edward was absolutely amazing! He had the most beautiful and heartfelt passage. Although found him in short notice, he took time away to officiate our wedding! He went above and beyond! We are so blessed and thankful for him!

Minister Buckingham did an exceptional job at my wedding we were very comfortable with him marrying us. He took out the time to do video chats with myself and my husband prior to marrying us, he even sent us very helpful materials before getting married to read and look over. He was not only patient with us he accommodated his schedule several times due to our many date changes. We felt as if we had already knew minister Buckingham he was very down to earth & incorporated our personal add-ons to the ceremony templates. We couldn't be happier with the decision we made to hire him for our wedding. He was prompt, patient, & kind. Look no further he's the man for the job!

Went to elope. Just a private ceremony at his home. Mr. Buckingham was very nice professional on time and prepared. We are going to use him again in September for our official wedding ceremony with friends and family. Thanks Mr Buckingham for making our day a special one to remember.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My prices are already substantially discounted on the base level. My fees cover administrative fees, gas as well as my time and other travel expenses . If I can offer a discount in the time of need I often do but at the same time my availability is valuable to me and my family. I have a full time job that allows me to offer discounted prices but occupy certain portions of my weekday.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I listen to them fervently and then hear what their desires are, while trying to determine how to direct the customer into what they are really wanting. I try to communicate every option from first contact until every need is met. I make sure that the wedding parties desires are of the utmost importance throughout the process.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have had Seminary education as well as matriculating at Trevecca Nazarene University at the present. My training came at the feet of masterfully experienced clergy with long histories in the ministry. I was licensed in 1990 and ordained in 1993.
