About
Greetings, and thank you for considering me to officiate your wedding. As a licensed and ordained wedding officiant with nearly three decades of experience, I make it my priority to honor the needs and desires of both the bride and the groom, doing everything I can to help make your ceremony truly memorable and meaningful.
I believe the spirit of love can be so present in a ceremony that it leaves a lasting impression on every guest and, most importantly, on the couple themselves. Every opportunity to officiate is an honor and a privilege, and I cherish partnering with you as you celebrate and affirm your love story.
If my availability aligns with your Special Date, I would be delighted to serve you. When you’re ready, let’s connect and confirm the details of your special day - and plan to move forward, together.
Warmest regards,
Rev. Clyde A. Porter

We are so grateful to Pastor clyde for making our wedding ceremony so beautiful and meaningful. He did an amazing job and made the ceremony feel personal, heartfelt, and special.
We especially appreciated how he involved our family and made everyone feel included in such an important moment. His words, professionalism, and genuine care made our wedding ceremony even more memorable.
Thank you, Pastor, for helping us celebrate our love and marriage in such a beautiful way. We truly appreciate everything you did and would highly recommend you to anyone looking for a pastor to officiate their special day!

Rev. Porter was awesome! He checked up on us multiple times to make sure we are prepared before our big day and was always quick to respond to our questions, no matter how small. He showed up right on time and was incredibly professional throughout the entire process, from our first meeting to the ceremony itself. He made our wedding day feel personal and stress-free, and we couldn't have asked for a better officiant. Highly recommend!

It was a great pleasure to have our special day with Rev. Porter. He was very responsive. We spoke ahead of time for us to learn about him and him about us. He even suggested a beautiful location for us and helped make it a beautiful, joyous, and powerful ceremony. We were really happy with the outcome and enjoyed just being around him. I cannot recommend him enough!!

Reverend Clyde Porter did a really great job for my micro wedding! He was very professional and on time and made the service memorable. He was funny as well and I loved how he came prepared, took some of my ideas and intertwining them with his general approach for the ceremony. I would definitely recommend him!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Porter Ministry Services consistently strives to share and offer ministry services while providing the minimized cost solutions.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

Subsequent to establishing the overall 'flow' to the ceremony, Rev. Porter will work closely with the couple to help finalize the ceremony. Additionally, Rev. Porter will work with the couple to schedule/arrange an in-person meeting (prior to the ceremony), if at all possible, to truly facilitate finalizing the ceremony.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Besides Bible College, Rev. Porter has been a licensed and ordained Minister, serving and ministering to families for over (38) thirty-eight years.
