Introduction

Congratulations to you, your family and friends! What an exciting time in your life! The institution of marriage is ordained by God and intended to bring you total fulfillment and enjoyment throughout your entire lifetime. I have been married for 31 years and love it! I also have 3 sons, ages 29, 28, and 26 from our union and they bring so much joy into my life. Marriage is a wonderful blessing and I have officiated for many couples of all ages in the USA, St Lucia, Jamaica and The Turks & Caicos Islands. The ceremony is based upon the Scriptures and I share a copy of the proposed flow with you for your approval prior to the ceremony. My wife and I also offer pre-marital counseling, if you are interested. I make myself available for all rehearsals, take my time to carefully explain the institution of marriage from the Bible and interact with your family and friends to make them all feel a significant part of the wedding ceremony. Thank you in advance for your kind review and consideration of this quote to serve you and your family. I look forward to hearing from you soon and, of course, feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions. Sincerely, Pastor Kevin Wayne Johnson Celebration Church @ Columbia (MD) I love the Lord and His blessings. Marriage is the ultimate blessing that is intended to last a lifetime!!

I chose my pro because he was a pastor. My husband and his family are really into church. I wanted to have an officiant who shared the same values as him. I also wanted our family to witness our ceremony although they too are pastors. I didn’t think we were going to be able to do the marriage counseling session that Pastor Johnson offered. However, we all got together to make it work. It was an enlightening experience. There are times where we shy away from pastor’s because we don’t want to be judged. That is not his style. He and his wife are very understanding and such an amazing team. It really gets you excited for the next level of life. If you feel nervous, unprepared, or anxious take the premarital counseling it is very helpful. Also you become apart of a family even after the wedding. Thank you for all the advice and guidance.

Pastor Johnson was truly amazing. During my wedding, I realized how patient and understanding he was when things ran late. I deeply appreciated his willingness to wait so everything could proceed smoothly. God bless him!

Pastor Kevin was beyond amazing from start to finish. We were planning our wedding and when looking for an officiant we found several who were charging out of our price range and Pastor Kevin was very reasonable and budget friendly. Pastor Kevin was very attentive to our needs from day one and even reached out to us throughout the summer during the pandemic to see how we were doing in general. We are very happy to give him this 5 star review.
