“My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Enduring Promises for our big day and we couldn’t recommend them enough.

We originally had planned for my husband’s father to marry us, however, when things fell through weeks before the wedding, Our Officiant worked with us quickly to find a plan to still have him included in the ceremony while making sure all the legalities were covered.

With his help and expertise, we were able to build a perfect ceremony that flowed beautifully and included everyone we wanted. He made the process fun and easy for us when we had no clue what we were doing. We are so thrilled with his service and how much thought and care he put into making sure we had everything just as we envisioned.

Thank you again, so much, for making our big day come together flawlessly!”

“We wanted someone who was friendly and charismatic to officiate our wedding. Enduring Promises knew exactly who to match us with.

With the first meeting, we knew that he was exactly who we wanted to marry us. He was so knowledgeable and more importantly, so dedicated to his couples! He shared with us, his suggestions, but opened it up for us to do exactly what we wanted.

He did both traditional and contemporary vows, as well as a cultural tradition for our families. Our guests and us laughed and cried throughout. It was perfect. Thank you so much Enduring Promises!”

“Our Officiant exceeded our expectations! On the day of our wedding, both my husband and I were a little nervous (more so—me) and he knew what to say to calm me down a little. I love how he personalized our ceremony and kept our guests entertained throughout.

The online ceremony console was very helpful and let us be fully involved in the process of what would be said. It was very easy to use!

As a company, Enduring Promises was very responsive and I am happy we chose them. There is a reason they are the top-rated company for Officiants. I would not hesitate to recommend Enduring Promises to anyone considering them.”
