Blake did such an excellent job with our ceremony! He was friendly and professional, all while staying very personable. We were able to select a script that fit both of us very well, making our ceremony feel almost as if it had been written for us! He even met us out at the Main Overlook of a State Park to give us the view and ceremony of our dreams. He played a huge part in what has been the coolest event we've ever planned!

Blake was perfect for our daughters wedding. He arrived on time, was very friendly and took the time to get to know the bride and groom. They had a unity tree which he incorporated so easily into their ceremony. He is also very accommodating, last minute the storms caused the wedding to be moved indoors and he was great to work around this obstacle. We could not have asked for anyone better. I would highly recommend Blake for any ceremony!

Blake was awesome!! We had a friend performing our ceremony and needed an officiant to legalize our documents. Blake drove over an hour to our cabin during the hurricane to sign our paperwork! He answered all of our questions and was just great to work with throughout the entire process, we couldn't recommend him enough!!!
