Wedding Officiant Rev. Coleman

Super-nice guy

by lemurs4ever

We talked to 3 ministers, were really turned off by one, one was fine, but Rev. Coleman was really nice, and the best by a mile, mile, mile. Wedding is next year - we'll tell you how it goes! Oh, and he saved us over a thousand dollars, by recommending both a photographer and a DJ who are top-notch and reasonably priced. They're Steve Rouch and Instant Request.

• Pros: Friendly, knows his stuff
• Cons: Expensive

Nicest pastor ever

by Barklay

I wish Reverend Coleman was available...I called him up to check on his availability, and he was booked up, but wow, was he helpful. We talked for over ten minutes, and he gave me great referrals and also advice on how to plan our wedding from out of state. He didn't have to do that, and he knew he was booked that weekend, but he was just being a really nice man and was completely willing to spend all this time with me, even though I wouldn't be able to use his services. I really wish he wasn't booked...I would DEFINITELY use him now, if he was available. Really nice man.

Pastor Tomkin saved us!

by ooutstanding

We were lucky to have found Pastor Tomkin while he was still available. A couple he was working with changed their time, and so he was free, and he helped us from beginning to end. We had no idea how we wanted our ceremony to be set up... all we knew is that we wanted it in the Landmark Center. He had performed many wedding ceremonies there, so walked us through all the different configurations that the atrium could be set up as, and then was able to incorporate both our religious backgrounds in the ceremony. Neither me nor my fiance had a church that we regularly went to, but we have parents and relatives that are quite religious. I'm Lutheran and my fiance (now husband!) is Methodist, and Pastor Tomkin created a wedding ceremony that we were both really happy with. He also helped us find a guitarist, a photographer, and helped us find the readings we wanted. He even helped us with writing our own vows! We were first attracted to him because of his friendly manner on his website, but once we talked with him in person, we knew he was absolutely the officiant for us. My mom LOVED him (he made her feel so special as the Mother of the Bride!) and all our guests raved about his warm, friendly manner. I'd recommend him to anyone who is looking for a friendly, flexible minister who knows a LOT about how to please not only the bride and groom, but everyone in the wedding party, the ushers, the parents, and all the guests!

• Pros: Very friendly and flexible, incredibly easy to talk to
• Cons: Books up quickly
