About
My name is Bernard Scott, Jr., and I am available for wedding services. I am a pastor and I am legally ordained to perform weddings in all 50 states. I have been performing weddings for 20 years now. I also offer wedding consulting and premarital counseling services for couples looking to get married. I understand the magnitude of a day like this and it is something that I take very seriously. While I am often asked to perform these services, I honestly do not accept every invitation. If I do agree to perform the ceremony, please know that I am doing so understanding and thinking about it first. Thank you for considering me for your wedding ceremony. Please see below for pricing. Prices are standard but also subject to negotiating based on circumstances. I am willing to be flexible but at the same time know that pricing is based on the quality of service that I perform. Please review this information and once it has been confirmed on what services are needed, I will send an invoice for you to sign and agree. Once agreed, an initial non-refundable deposit of 50% of the total must be made up to 30 days prior to the wedding date. The additional 50% will be made no later than the day before the wedding. Lodging expenses are taken care of by the officiant. I always travel with an assistant so for the sake of reservations, please include an additional person (my assistant is my “+1”). Official Wedding Base Price $450 ● Prep work ● Vows ● License handling ● Rehearsal time ● Business expenses Initial consultation $0 Premarital Counseling (if wanted) $50 per session Wedding Planning Consulting Services (if wanted) $50 per session Travel Expenses - Wedding under 60 driving miles $0 - Wedding over 60 driving miles $25 per 50 miles PRICING IS NEGOTIABLE BASED ON THE INDIVIDUAL.

Bernard was the most perfect officiant we could have asked for! Not only was he punctual, communicative, and kind.. he took the time to understand what we wanted for our ceremony- & delivered a service that we will never forget! Bernard has a way with words that brought us to tears as we were reminded what a blessing it is to begin a marriage. I plan to adopt Bernard as a new dear friend, and we will always be grateful for the amazing gift he has given to us ♡ If you are in need- look no further- this guy is the one!!!!!

Bernard was amazing! My husband and I eloped and he made it so special for us. He was on-time, organized, and personalized the ceremony just for us. We were so impressed and happy with his service. We also felt like we were friends with him because he is so friendly. Thank you again Bernard for an amazing experience ❤️

Rev. Scott was so much fun!! I had a friend who I wanted to be involved in the ceremony; however, she’s not yet fully ordained. He was so accommodating and was willing to work with us to have my friend involved. He was so kind and was SO fun to listen to and made everything personal. His calm demeanor was exactly what I needed amidst the stress of wedding planning, and his humor was the perfect anecdote for anxiety. We highly recommend him and his services. :)

He was absolutely wonderful I would recommend him 10 times over. Very responsive to all my messages sent over a copy of this speech and made any changes or add on I had. Made us both feel very comfortable the day of I couldn’t of asked for a better officiant. 10/22/22 he helped to make my day everything and for that I appreciate him and recommending his services.

It was wonderful working with Bernard! He was very communicative and professional. He was also very flexible and added a lighthearted sense to the day. He took the time to make sure we understand the process of submitting the marriage paperwork and answered any questions we had. Bernard was a joy and we highly recommend him!
