Thank you Evan!
We can’t say enough! Evan was great. We renewed our vows for our 20th anniversary. He made it an easy and smooth event, considering we were planning this from 250 miles away. He was on time. His communication was excellent. He sent us a few questions to get an idea of what we wanted, and matched it perfectly. We would recommend Evan to anyone. Toby & Stacy Barnhart

Best decision Ever
Evan provided exactly what we wanted in our ceremony. Communication is excellent, offers help if you need recommendations on local services like flower shops etc. We could not be happier with our choice to have Evan for our ceremony. We will never forget him and we thank God he was a part of our important day.
Evan Poe•Oct 16, 2026Man thank you so much guys. I really had such a great time celebrating with you both and I am so thankful that you chose me to help you have a beautiful beachfront ceremony.

Wonderful Officiant
We had such a wonderful experience with Evan as our officiant for our September 26th wedding! He was so kind, professional, and easy to work with throughout the entire process. He made everything feel simple and stress-free, and our ceremony was exactly what we had hoped for. We are so happy we chose Evan to be part of our special day and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding officiant!
Evan Poe•Oct 10, 2026Awe thanks so much guys. It was such a beautiful wedding and I was so honored to have been able to be a part of your special day!

1000/10 We would recommend Evan!
From the beginning to the end of our wedding, Evan was spectacular in all of the aspects. From being our officiant to quickly changing over to be our bartender. There was a brief moment where things weren't going as planned during the day of our wedding day. But, Evan stepped in and his words of encouragement to just keep going helped us greatly to deliver such a memorable and special day. During our ceremony, his officiant services were 1000/10. He told our story so beautifully and included every part of our story and delivered it to the T. He included everything that we had asked for during our initial meeting and even more, that made our ceremony feel even special to us and our family/friends. His bartending services were outstanding! No backed up lines, no issues, no complaints! Him and his assistant provided the best bar services to our friends/family and everyone had a great time! We did run out of Tequila very quickly, not knowing our guests were heavy tequila drinkers, but that was no issue to Evan and his assistant. He still provided the best bar service he could and everyone was happy! We wish we could give Evan more than a 5 star rating! Thank you so much Evan! - Kat & Jerome!

Evan Poe: Master of Ceremonies!
Evan was an incredible officiant for our beach wedding ceremony. He is exactly the person we hoped he would be when we hired him to marry us on the beach at Sandbridge, and was absolutely wonderful accepting our two dogs (they gave us away!), into the ceremony. I cannot possibly recommend Evan enough. He’s got a warm presence, was super flexible in how he planned our ceremony (bonus points for an awesome questionnaire that put us at ease way before our ‘big day’), and brought a genuine sense of joy to the day. My wife and I both wanted something cozy and private, and Evan brought so much light to our day, you’d think he pulled the sun down for us, too. I am so incredibly happy to have chosen Evan to officiate our Elopement ceremony. It means the world to me to know that my wife felt comfortable and joyful in those moments, and Evan’s skill, warmth and wisdom sent those supposed wedding jitters out to sea like the tide. All I saw was my wife. Her smile. My life. All I felt was joy. Thank you, Evan!!!
Evan Poe•Sep 25, 2026Man, thank you guys so much. You guys are literally so adorable and it was such a true joy for me to stand beside both of you in such a special and intimate moment. Thank you both so much for trusting me to help make it one to remember!
