Reverend Dave Tucker was very personable when we met and he assured us that our wedding would be just the way we wanted. He truly meant what he said and every part of our ceremony was "As we wished". Revered Tucker took the time to get to know us before our ceremony, he was very responsive to all of our communication, and his professionalism put us at ease. He made our day so beautiful and special
My husband and I are both light-hearted, happy people and Reverend Tucker took the opportunity to add a touch of light hearted humor at appropriate points in our ceremony. He won over the guests and us and helped bring joy and laughter to our special day. Another unexpected touch came after our ceremony. During photos of the wedding party, Reverend Tucker pulled out our marriage license and suggest having our maid of honor and best man sign as witnesses would make for a great memory and beautiful photo. He was right, and I'm so glad he did!
With Love Notes, you are able to personalize your ceremony precisely how you want. From the prayers, to the vows, to the readings, to special touches, your ceremony will be completely and totally custom to you and your partner. My husband and I were married at Lost Oak Winery in Burleson, TX. We exchanged vows under an old oak tree in front of the vineyard. We chose the unity cup celebration in lieu of the unity candle tradition. Each of our mothers poured wine from individual carafes into a single wine glass. They left a bit of wine in each individual carafe signifying our separate lives before we met. Then we each drank from the single wine glase signifying our married life together. This had special meaning to my husband and I, standing in front of the vineyard where the grapes that made the wine we drank grew and also as a symbol of the communion cup from my Catholic upbringing. It was all very meaningful to us.
Guest after guest came up to us and said how beautiful everything was and how very "Kelly" the wedding was. It was such a compliment to hear how perfectly "us" our special day was.

Wedding officiant make you comfortable? Why or why not? Love Notes and specifically Reverand Zinser was a service I used to find an Officiant for my wedding. Love Notes referred me to Rev. Zinser. I could not have asked for a nicer person. We met with him face to face and he has such a warm nature and seemed genuinely happy for our upcoming day!
I cannot say enough nice things about Love Notes and Reverand Zinser.
What did the officiant or clergy add that was unexpected? This service is incredible because it provides you with an entire workbook with all sorts of different types of wedding ceremonies, tradtions, non-traditional things to add and everything in between. It helps you create and write your own ceremony, beginning to end. VERY HELPFUL!!!
How did you personalize your wedding ceremony? We added a gift presentation to my 5 year old daughter, all available in the book that comes with using Love Notes.
Favorite wedding ceremony comment from guests? Everyone loved how we included my daughter in the ceremony.

Wedding officiant make you comfortable? Why or why not? Chris made us both feel extremely comfortable from our initial meeting through the ceremony. These were intimate details of our lives that we were sharing in order to create the ceremony that conveyed what we were looking for.
What did the officiant or clergy add that was unexpected? He was so responsive to all of our questions and had great suggestions to help us incorporate my teenage daughters into the ceremony as well. The day of the ceremony he went above and beyond to help settle "wedding nerves" - thank you Chris!
How did you personalize your wedding ceremony? We needed a mix of civil and spiritual to accomodate both of our beliefs - it was also important to my husband to include my teenage daughters after we exchanged our rings - so Chris suto include them suggested adding a wedding tradition that was a committment to them (and us) as a family - it was beautiful
Favorite wedding ceremony comment from guests? "Your ceremony was absolutely beautiful and a unique combination of both of you!"

Wedding officiant make you comfortable? Why or why not? Very! We hired Ken Byrd and he did a great job! He's very kind and a great professional, so he made me feel very calm the whole time.
What did the officiant or clergy add that was unexpected? He made some great jokes and everyone loved him!!
How did you personalize your wedding ceremony? My husband is Persian, so we needed to incorporate a lot of Persian elements in our ceremony, while keeping the classic american traditions. Our officiant did an AMAZING job mixing those elements together and explaining the Persian ones to the american and other foreign guests. I'm so glad I picked Ken to do this!
Favorite wedding ceremony comment from guests? That it was the most beutiful ceremony they had ever seen!

Wedding officiant make you comfortable? Why or why not? We felt absolutely comfortable in his presence! He showed up to the ceremony early and wanted to make sure we were prepared, because we did not have a rehearsal. The ceremony ran smoothly and he was a delight to be around!
What did the officiant or clergy add that was unexpected? The company completely exceeded my expectations for timeliness and flexibility! I contacted LoveNotes on March 30th (Easter weekend) and they replied to my request within a day! My husband is in the military and we wanted something special, but we were in a time crunch and wanted to get married on April 6th. I was very impressed with how quickly LoveNotes contacted me and they continued to be efficient through out the whole process!
How did you personalize your wedding ceremony? Not only was Rev Joe flexible and accommodating, but he wanted to give my husband and I a ceremony tailored to our desires! He provided us with a variety of vows and ceremony pieces that we could include in our wedding. We could not have been more happy with the services provided, it was beautiful!
Favorite wedding ceremony comment from guests? My mom was a bit skeptical because I found the Reverend online, but after the wedding she was in tears and said it was such a lovely ceremony and she thought Rev Joe was perfect!

Wedding officiant make you comfortable? Why or why not? Chris was extremely easy to work with, and helped keep a relaxed atmosphere. He did a great job keeping everyone at ease, and you can really tell that he really cares about his role in helping couples start their lives together.
What did the officiant or clergy add that was unexpected? Chris really rolled with the punches. As expeceted with all the nerves, some lines were messed up and Chris worked around it without missing a beat.
How did you personalize your wedding ceremony? Chris really picked up on that we are not an overly emotional couple and he heplped to keep things light.
Favorite wedding ceremony comment from guests? Before announcing us as a couple, Chris asked Thomas what the date was. After he answered Chris said that it was an easy enough answer now...but for years he would have issues remembering today's date.

Wedding officiant make you comfortable? Why or why not? My wife and I could not be more pleased with LoveNotes and Rev. Dave Tucker, who served as the officiant for our wedding. We were truly blessed to have found Rev. Tucker. He guided us through the entire process - he really helped us put together a beautiful and meaningful ceremony that we will treasure with such happy thoughts for the rest of our lives. LoveNotes provided us with so many different ways to personalize our wedding ceremony; the resources that they provided us were very thorough and gave us lots of options for each part of the ceremony.
In the months leading up to our wedding, Rev. Tucker was always available to us whenever my wife and I had questions. He really made it a point to be as accessible to us as he possibly could. On the day of our wedding, Rev. Tucker could not have been more helpful to us. He answered all our questions, and guided us through how everything would work. The ceremony itself was amazing - it was everything and more that we had hoped for. My wife and I received so much positive feedback afterwards from our guests about Rev. Tucker. Everyone who attended our wedding was so happy with him.

Wedding officiant make you comfortable? Why or why not? Minister Ken Byrd with Love Notes officiated our wedding recently and I was very impressed by not only his professionalism but the level of detail and organization the Love Notes provided in helping me plan my ceremony. I would definitely recommend them to any bride that is looking for an officiant/minister for their wedding! :)
How did you personalize your wedding ceremony? We did a sand ceremony with my 2 daughters which turned out beautiful and will be a treasured memory.

Wedding officiant make you comfortable? Why or why not? Was in control, managed the details, personable with guests. Just an all-around great job
What did the officiant or clergy add that was unexpected? Added humor (at our last minute request) to the service which just made the ceremony a memorable experience for all of our guests.
How did you personalize your wedding ceremony? Minutes before the bride walked down the aisle I asked Marty to put some humor into the service. He gladly obliged and didn't disappoint
Favorite wedding ceremony comment from guests? How long have we known Marty. I didn't have the heart to tell people that the first time I had actually met him in person was at the ceremony.
