About
For many couples, the most daunting part of planning their wedding is finding the right officiate to make their ceremony a memorable and meaningful experience. As a professional minister for over 25 years, I do ceremonies throughout South Carolina’s Lowcountry.
A COMPANION IN LIFE IS A GIFT!
I've learned how to build quality relationships with couples in order to provide an enjoyable and personal experience that results in a ceremony that represents their unique personalities and values. I have experience performing all types of ceremonies--religious, non-religious, traditional and non-traditional. I enjoy getting to know each couple I officiate for and helping them plan a ceremony that they and their guests will all enjoy.
When couples are overwhelmed with the task of choosing an officiate, they often look to their Venue, Event Planner and Friends for help. I've provided a few video samples on my website. If you feel I might be a good fit for officiating at your ceremony, I would love to talk on the phone with you in more detail about becoming your officiate.
True Love Wins!

Bob added so much to our wedding ceremony. He guided us through the process during the rehearsal, and gave clear instructions to the wedding party. He gave helpful suggestions that really tied everything together. His words during the ceremony were perfectly tailored to our requests, and were truly fitting for the moment. We couldn't recommend Bob more! 5 stars all the way.

Bob was amazing. I was hesitant with a “stranger” officiate our wedding but he nailed it. We got compliments all night about the ceremony. Everyone thought we already knew him! He is very thorough, a great listener, and happy to answer any questions. Highly recommend!

Bob was the perfect officiant for us! He’s very professional and easy to communicate with. Spiritual and very open to how you might like to uniquely curate your own experience. He showed up to serve US. And it was a truly beautiful experience. He’s fun and easy going, and gets the job done in a meaningful way.
Absolutely recommend him if you don’t have a pastor / officiant you know already and are looking to hire someone! We’re very happy with our choice!!!

Bob was terrific as an officiant from day one. Wonderful suggestions, fantastic communication, perfect professionalism. On our wedding day, he delivered exactly what we asked for: a ceremony that was full of love, inspiration, and humor. We cannot recommend Bob highly enough. He was simply terrific!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My Pricing is very competitive. My quote includes a total package the couple wants. There are no additional charges.
Can you put a price tag on a memory?
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
If at all possible we set up a meeting at a location that is convenient for both parties. There are unlimited facetime and phone calls to go through the ceremony process and answer questions that come up. I always make sure the week of the wedding we review the ceremony outline and see if there are any changes.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been working with families, couples, speaking at camps, publishing companies, churches and community organizations for over 25 years.
