About
For over 30 years, I’ve had the honor of officiating wedding ceremonies that are deeply personal and truly meaningful. Every couple is unique, and your ceremony should reflect that. At your request, I can incorporate your own vows, acknowledgements, favorite music, or poetic readings to create a ceremony that feels authentically you.
As a solo officiant, I take time to get to know each couple and their story. For those who choose premarital counseling, I offer a thoughtful, supportive space to work through questions, anxiety, or concerns before the big day.
If you’re looking for a warm, personalized ceremony and a steady guide through the process, I’d be honored to speak with you about your wedding.
Note: I do not officiate LBGTQ ceremonies due to my faith expression.

Anthony is a wonderful officiant for your marriage ceremony. Professional, soft-spoken, a real gentleman, bringing a tremendous message for your special day. You won't find anyone better. A very special man who takes your ceremony to another level. Absolutely loved the ceremony he performed for my son and his bride. The perfect man, no need to search any further!!!

We couldn’t have asked for a better weddingofficiant! From our very first conversation through the wedding day itself, Pastor Smith was professional, organized, and genuinely invested in making our ceremony special.
His attention to detail and quality of work were exceptional. He took the time to understand our story, our personalities, and what we wanted our ceremony to feel like. The result was a heartfelt, meaningful ceremony that felt uniquely tailored to us and left a lasting impression on our family and friends.
On the wedding day, he was calm, confident, and helped everything run smoothly. His professionalism gave us peace of mind, allowing us to focus on enjoying one of the most important days of our lives.
If you’re looking for an officiant who is reliable, personable, and truly dedicated to creating a memorable experience, we highly recommend Pastor Smith. Thank you for helping make our wedding day so special!

Pastor Anthony delivered a lovely wedding ceremony for my daughter and her fiance. He was thoughtful, funny, and included God and Scripture in their ceremony as desired. He made appropriate suggestions and lead rehearsal as needed. Highly recommend

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My standard officiating fee is $300. This fee includes at least one phone or physical meet and greet to discuss the ceremony details. My presence at the rehearsal is an additional $75. Also, there will be a $50 per hour late fee for rehearsals and weddings that do not start on time. Marriage counseling is optional; the fee is $100 per 60 minute session.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Our initial contact will include basic questions...when/how did you meet? The date/time of the ceremony? Will there be any special requests or observances? Why are you getting married? Couples may choose to enlist our "premarital counseling" services for an additional fee.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a licensed minster since 1993 and ordained in 1996.
