Frequently Asked Questions.

  • Yes, all of our officiants are ordained and are able to perform any type of legally accepted ceremony. I also have many years of pastoral experience and many years of experience performing weddings. In addition, each of our pastors has a Masters of Divinity degree, which is the standard degree for pastors.

  • Begin by emailing or calling me to see if I am available (or one of my associates) on your wedding day. The next step is to setup a wedding inquiry meeting, usually done through Zoom video – there is no charge for this meeting. The purpose of this meeting is to see if I am a good fit for you and your fiancé Then you let us know you’re ready to book and we send you The BIG Email (contract, wedding template, and ebooks to begin customizing your ceremony). You then submit the booking fee and contact, and we begin crafting your dream wedding ceremony.

  • Marriage license procedures vary from state to state. We’ve put together a list of sites for more information about the MD, VA, and DC procedures here.

  • Yes, you can view our testimonials and videos here.

  • Yes. Although we don’t make it mandatory to marry a couple, we do highly recommend it. It will help prepare you for the ups and downs of marriage. I personally think it provides for a better wedding ceremony as we get to know each couple that we counsel, which helps us personalize the ceremony even more.

  • I started I started Premier Wedding Pastors to provide exceptional wedding services for couples who are spiritually not religious – couples who don’t attend church on a regular basis and who don’t know a minister personally. Many churches are not wedding friendly towards couples who don’t attend their church. Premier Wedding Pastors exists to serve couples who want the most beautiful and fun wedding experience performed by friend, fun, and professional officiants.
