"It's ED!" Outstanding, he was an excellent officiant! Serious yet "light", he ran the show and it ran the full spectrum of emotions... serious with some well timed humor sprinkled in. Leading up to our wedding he was readily available, we spoke as often as Jess and I wanted. I think he is tip top, I wouldn't have wanted anyone else's services after our wedding yesterday. I believe he is genuine, I think he lives what he speaks, I think you'll be extremely glad you hired him if you need an officiant. He goes the extra mile, he listens to what you want, he delivers... what else could you ask for... he'll tailor "your day" to your wishes... 5 stars, number 1, all that rating "stuff"... he's legit!
Thanks Ed, you were tremendous, many complimented your service to us out of the blue during our conversations.
Call him, talk to him, you'll hire him.

Wow! How can I reply to this other than a HUGE thanks and, "Dude, I need you as my agent," lol.
It was a beautiful day and you both are blessed to have one another. I'll follow up with you after the honeymoon and always know I'm here is you need anything.

Ed was more than just an officiant at our wedding. Ed was the calming presence who helped me cope and get through the unavoidable wedding dilemmas. Pastor Ed gave a beautiful ceremony in the rain! Yes, it rained and I was an emotional mess, but Ed turned it around and made it wonderful, personal, and so very special. We couldn't have been blessed with a better pastor to marry us.
Details: Wedding • Christian • 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

Thanks for the kind words! Rain or not it was a pretty incredible day and thanks for letting my aging Dad accompany me to the wedding since I was taking him to NC afterwards for a reunion. It’s hard to believe how much time has past already. I hope you both are doing well.

He did amamzing and my family loved him being there!!!! I couldn't ask for more of a better experience for me and my wife!!!
Rev. Ed Lilley's reply
Thanks for the nice review. It was a gorgeous day and kinda cool that you two were the first wedding in that new venue that opened. I hope you both are off enjoying an amazing honeymoon. I'll be following up with you in a week or so, but until then give a shout if there is anything I can do. Take care!

A God send! Ed gave LIFE to my soul! He is easily and readably accessible. He made our Valentine's Day nuptials happen on very short notice. We had what he referred to as a "formal informal ceremony". I was ready to settle for a ceremony in my living room but it wasn't what my heart desired. Ed helped make my dream come true for our beautiful blended family. Very personable and down to earth.
Rev. Ed Lilley's reply
Thank you for the sweet review. You and your family were fun and I enjoyed every minute of it. I hope you're enjoying some alone time in Baltimore eating all of the seafood you can handle!!! We'll talk in a week or so to follow up and thanks again for allowing me to be a part. By the way, I'm not going anywhere should you ever need to lean on me!

Rev. Ed was perfect for our event. He took the time to listen to our story and customized our event accordingly. He connected immediately with my family and is one of the best men of God I have ever met. He is highly recommended for any matter of the heart, especially a marriage.
Rev. Ed Lilley's reply
What a blessing it was to be a part of your special day. Your children and grandchildren were neat to watch as their Grandparents tied the knot. It was fun watching John interact with your Grandchildren afterwards and I look forward to us chatting in the future as I check in with you!
