About Minister Wes

Minister Wes

Head Officiant

Hi, I’m Wesley — Minister Wes. A Christian-based minister with a few years of officiating experience, I bring a calm, steady presence balanced with warmth and vibrant energy, so your ceremony feels personal and true to you. I love shaping services that reflect each couple’s story, whether traditional or more relaxed. With over 25 years in marriage counseling, I also offer pre-marital counseling to help couples start strong. Let’s create a wedding day you can truly enjoy. If you’re looking for an officiant who’s flexible, attentive, and genuinely invested in making your ceremony feel right for you, I’d love to connect.

What sets me apart is the depth I bring beyond the ceremony itself — with over 25 years in marriage counseling, I don’t just officiate weddings, I help couples build a strong foundation for the marriage ahead through pre-marital counseling. I love shaping services that reflect each couple’s story, whether traditional or more relaxed, and my goal is always to help you feel grounded and present so you can truly enjoy your day. Let’s create a wedding — and a marriage — you’re ready for.

In three words: Calm, Efficient, Fun

    From our first conversation, Minister Wes made it clear he understood exactly what we wanted for our ceremony. He was reliable and thorough in every detail, answering our questions and walking us through the whole process so we felt prepared and calm. On our wedding day, he had a gift for making our guests feel welcomed and at home, which set such a warm tone from the start. Minister Wes delivered the ceremony we envisioned with professionalism and genuine care, hitting every note we discussed while adding his own heartfelt touch. His consistent approach and trustworthy nature gave us confidence that we were in good hands. We couldn't have asked for a better officiants to marry us.

Yes I do. I actually recommend doing pre-martial counseling for couples embarking on the journey of becoming one. It provides a solid foundation and helps in understanding one another better.
Yes! I love talking with the bride and groom and letting their story shine through the ceremony. I like to build the ceremony, message around the heart of the couple.
Yes, writing your own vows is encouraged. This adds a special touch to your wedding day. I am also able to help you as well.
Yes, I arrive usually 45minutes to one hour before the ceremony. I like to get acclimated to the wedding party and the venue.
Fully customizable. Whether you want traditional, religious, secular, humorous, or something entirely your own, I’ll shape the ceremony around your relationship and how you want it to feel.
Yes. I like to get to know each couple beforehand so the ceremony feels personal and true to your story, not generic. I like to create a memorable moment that can last a lifetime.
Yes, I travel anywhere for weddings. A travel fee applies depending on distance — reach out with your location and I’ll give you a quote.
Yes, a deposit is required to officially reserve your date. The remaining balance is due before the wedding — I’ll walk you through the full payment schedule and cancellation policy when we chat.
My pricing varies based on the package and any add-ons you choose (such as ceremony writing, rehearsal attendance, or travel). Reach out with your date and details, and I’ll put together a custom quote so you know exactly what’s included. However, if you just want me to officiate your wedding only, the general starting rate is $300-$350
