My husband and I had the pleasure of our wedding being officiated by the Esteemed Rev. Clyde Porter. We, including our family and friends, were amazed at the warmth and the feeling of having a minister who took the time to connect with us and really share as a wedding ceremony should have. We were blessed by his Charisma, his kindness, and his professionalism, which was laced with the warm feel of a Pastor. The ceremony was uniquely tailored to what we wanted, a message to the couple and guests, and a final blessing. We will recommend him over and over again. Please kindly jump at the idea of requesting his services, you will be pleasantly delighted.

Hiring Rev. Porter was, without a doubt, the best decision I could have made for my wedding day! From the very first moment we connected, I knew we were in good hands. The hiring process was a breeze; we simply chatted over the phone, discussing our vision, hopes, and a few quirky ideas for our ceremony. Rev. Porter listened with genuine interest, making us feel seen and heard right away. When he arrived for the rehearsal, he brought not only his professionalism but also a warm and welcoming spirit that eased any pre-wedding jitters. My family quickly fell in love with him, praising his authenticity and kindness. It was clear that he wasn’t just there to perform a job; he intended to perform a pivotal role in our special day. Then came the big day. As the bridal party lined up and anticipation hung in the air, Rev. Porter set the tone perfectly. He spoke with such passion and sincerity, weaving our love story into the ceremony with eloquence and warmth that left everyone captivated. The ceremony itself was incredible—the laughter, the tears, and the heartfelt moments flowed seamlessly, making it not just a ritual but a celebration of our love. I truly cannot recommend Rev. Porter highly enough. He didn’t just officiate our wedding; he made it memorable and meaningful. His presence enhanced the day in a way that I will be forever grateful for. If you’re looking for someone who can bring heart and authenticity to your special day, Rev. Porter is the one for you!

Rev Clyde did an excellent job in officiating my wedding ceremony. He gave good marital advice which i felt will be needed in my marriage. My wife and i was happy that Rev Clyde was able to add his own flair to make my wedding ceremony interactive or fun rather than boring. Rev Clyde was very punctual to the wedding rehearsal and understanding when other wedding rehearsal participants were running late. His tonality and delivery during the wedding ceremony was totally on point. I highly recommend Rev Clyde to any soon to be married couples.

Rev. Porter was absolutely incredible. He was kind, friendly, welcoming, and warm. I would highly recommend anyone to at least speak to him and you will quickly see why my wife and I asked him to officiate and lead us into the next chapter of our lives. Thank you again Reverend!

Rev Clyde was absolutely amazing. Our ceremony was full of love and beautiful words that Rev Clyde shared from the Bible and his heart. I will be forever grateful and remember my wedding day ceremony for as long as I live. Rev Clyde included our village (friends and family) in the ceremony which made it all the more intimate and full of love. I would highly recommend Rev Clyde. He got to know me and my Fiance ( now husband) in such a short time and was able to read and share our story with loved ones as if he lived it with us. Very satisfied and very happy.
