“The moment we met Rev. James, we knew wanted him to be our wedding minister.
James not only gave us excellent ideas for the wedding ceremony, he also was very flexible with the date and in short notice. As our wedding minister, he made the entire wedding ceremony very personal and extremely special. A couple of our friends that are getting married a few months after us requested that he marry them as well. I would recommend James to anyone... he will deliver more than expected.
Danielle and I consider Rev. James a new close friend.”

“We can't thank Reverend James enough for making our wedding ceremony so extra special. Anyone who has ever planned a wedding ceremony knows the stress associated with it,
and I truly think during all the stressful planning, and coordinating that couples might find themselves forgetting what their wedding day truly signifies.
Reverend James's ceremony was so heartfelt, so sincere, and so beautifully spoken that everyone in attendance was reminded the true reason we were standing there.
He holds a very special place in our hearts and our wedding ceremony would not have been the same without him.”

“We want to thank you on the wonderful job you did as our wedding officiant. We have recieved great compliments on how heartfelt and memorable our wedding ceremony was.
Even our family and friends thought the wedding ceremony was NOT boring at all (which I had to laugh at because a lot of Filipino weddings tend to be... so everyone was surprised.
Thank you again Rev. James for giving us a wedding ceremony to remember!”

James we knew we didn't need to look any further. He is so outgoing, has a great sense of humor and immediately puts you at ease. He involved us in every step of planning the ceremony to make sure that it was personalized not only for us, but for our families as well. He has a true joy and passion for what he does and he speaks from the heart. Reverend James will not only be your Minister, he will also be your friend way beyond the day of your wedding ceremony.”

We didn't even know where to start before meeting with him. He took a personal interest in us and guided us through creating a ceremony that was a true representation of our unique love.
He acted as our coach, friend and advisor and even gave us an excellent recommendation for a florist! We were thrilled with his service!”

“Dear Rev. James, Gregg and I wanted to thank you for making our wedding ceremony special. It meant so much to me that we were able to get to know each
other through our initial meeting, emailing back and forth and the rehearsal dinner. By the time the wedding came around, we felt like old
friends. We are both Catholic but getting married outdoors was always a wish of ours. It was really important for the ceremony to incorporate
religion yet feel personalized and relaxed as well. You made it emotional, spiritual, and funny! We will never forget it!”

He offered his assistance and guidance in such a professional, yet friendly manner. It was a pleasure and
an honor to have him perform our ceremony. James was the first minister we met with when we were beginning
the selection process. After meeting with him for coffee, we immediately agreed that we didn't need to look any further. WE LOVED HIM, and would recommend him to anyone!”

“We couldn't have asked for a better “wedding officiant”. Reverend James, did a wonderful job officiating at our wedding in June 2009. As soon as I talked to Rev. James on the phone I could tell I found the perfect match to our wedding.
We met with James for lunch and had a great time with him. He is easy and fun to be with. He gave us some great wedding tips and went over everything from A to Z that we had questions about. I was living in SC at the time and he was always available via the telephone to answer my many questions.
He was the best choice we made for our wedding. He sincerely takes time to get to know you, is personable, humorous, and a great speaker! After the service our relatives raved about him! In fact they still rave about him today when my wedding is brought up! We highly recommend Reverend James Lower for your wedding!”

“Reverend James has a great personality that makes you feel like you have known him all your life. Most importantly, he listens and gives excellent advice.
He did a marvelous job of helping us to interpret our feelings into just the right words. Those words in turn once said out
loud in front of our family and friends miraculously took our relationship to another level that has since marveled both of us. During
the ceremony he also made us feel relaxed so that we were able to appreciate and understand our wedding vows. We consider ourselves fortunate to have found him. He is both a great choice and, in our estimation, a great person who we now consider a new personal friend.”

“Todd and I had a very hard time finding someone to officiate our wedding since we had different religious backgrounds. We didn't want to exchange vows in a house of worship because we felt that would be choosing one religion over the other. We also didn't want to disrespect each others beliefs or religions, so the wording had to be delicate. The moment we met Rev. James, we felt at ease. He was so friendly, professional, and just plain amazing. We agreed before he even walked away that we would be using him to marry us. When the day of the event came, we were both relaxed, and all of our relatives were at ease. We both have the utmost respect for him on both a personal and professional level. We love Rev. James and wish him the best of luck spreading the loving word of God, trust and comfort that we experienced with him.”

“From the moment we met Reverend James, we knew he would be perfect to marry us. He made us feel so comfortable and made us laugh during all of the wedding planning. He was so helpful with reminder notes on next steps we should be planning for. He helped us with the process of applying for our marriage license, florist recommendations, as well as recommendations for an assisted living center where we donated our flowers after the reception. My mother has emergency surgery just two days before our wedding. Talk about a stressful situation. Rev. James was the only wedding vendor we had that was respectfull and accommodating through the emergancy. Thank you, Reverend James, for making our special day even more special!”

“We heard about Reverend James through our florist when we were planning our wedding.
We were looking for a person who was genuine and cared about sharing in our special day and customizing to our need, not someone looking to get paid to marry us.
As soon as we met with Rev. James, we both instantly knew he was the right person for our most special day.
The day of our wedding was the most special day of our lives and Rev. James lived up to every expectation we had and evem more.
Our family and friends still talk about how wonderful our ceremony was.
Reverend James is professional, easy to work with, caring, attentive, funny and adapted the ceremony to our specific needs.

“Reverend James performed our Civil Union ceremony and it was everything we wanted and more!
The ceremony was a simple one in the comfort of our own home with a few of our closest friends.
After being together for over twenty years we thought the ceremony would be anti-climatic, but it turned out to be more than that.
It was inspiring and memorable; and when we look back at the photos, they really captured how happy we truly are.
Rev. James worked with us in a short time frame and we had a great event at the house.
Rev. James is very professional and it was easy and comfortable for us to work with him.
We have recommended him to our friends and he performed their ceremony a week after ours. We attended the event and it was lovely.
Rev. James did a great job and we will continue to recommend him as an Amazing wedding officiant minister”
