What Couples Say...
Hi Pastor Bill. Josh and I just want to take a moment to thank you. You performed a beautiful ceremony, and we couldn't ask for anything better. So many of our guests told us how much they enjoyed listening to you and what a pleasure it was to witness our ceremony, Again, thank you for everything. It was great talking with you over the past few months. I hope you and your family have a wonderful summer. Thanks!
Melissa & Josh
Pastor Bill - we just wanted to take a second to tell you thank you again for all the info and all your help! Dave and I can not wait for our ceremony and we are both so happy about having you there for us!
We really related to everything you talked about and appreciated all the time you spent talking with us and listening to each of us really made us feel comfortable with you. It was great to meet your wife and kids also you all were really friendly and just down to earth people. We couldn't ask for a cooler officiant and we know we made an awesome decision to have you be a part of the biggest day of our lives!
Dave & Claudia
Pastor Bill, you are such a pleasant person to work with, one of the best parts of planning our wedding was working with you. Our guests had nothing but wonderful things to say about the cermony and your introductions and the way the cermony was performed. My grandmother (deeply religious & very Catholic) thought it was one of the best wedding cermonies she has ever been to. She also thought that Bill was the best thing!! I can not thank you enough Bill, I would recommend your services to anyone. Just let me know!
Anne & Wayne
Unique, inspiring, fun, spiritual...unlike any other ceremony I have seen. It's been several weeks after our wedding and we continue to get comments from family and friends who have expressed that this was one of the best ceremonies they have witnessed. Wow! They continue to talk about the exceptional job you did!
Mark & Jovanna
Dear Pastor Bill, Thank you for making our wedding so special! We'll always remember your kind words and that unique moment under the trees by the river! Our wedding was absolutely perfect! We couldn't have done it without you! Thanks again for guiding us into the wonderful world of married life!
Francois & Tara
Pastor Bill, it was great meeting you and your family. We very much enjoyed our visit and feel more relaxed about the ceremony. Mike and I are so excited about this experience and grateful for meeting you. I started the book you gave us too! We are going to carve out some time tonight to work on the questions - already they are generating some great conversations! It's nice to be talking about something other than flowers and guest lists! Thanks for the uplifting wishes!
Eva & Michael
We found you via the internet, so we were a bit nervous to even call. Others we found and talked to seemed a bit "unrelatable" sad to say. Our first meeting was fantastic! I was stressed having just had a root canal and the dentist "forgot" to give me pain meds and I was feeling terrible!!!! You helped set me at ease :) Everyone was so impressed that you actually knew something about us, our story, our lives together and our families. I think today, most people are used to the "stock" ceremony which is not individualized or unique. We all so appreciated the fact that ours was personal and touching. I have many engaged friends who will be contacting you soon!
Kim & Garcia
Our first meeting was very helpful because we saw who you are as a person as well as what type of pastor you are. We knew after we met that you had a good understanding about us as a couple and what type of ceremony we wanted. That is why you executed it so well! We interviewed 3 different pastors and by far hands down we picked you. Because I was so confident that we picked the right pastor I was not stressed out on this at all.
Raed & Amy
Bill and Treva, we would like to pesonally thank you both for all of your guidance and support as we prepared for our wedding and life together. You are both wonderful mentors - we appreciate all your help. We're thankful that God has allowed our paths to cross and feel blessed to have you perform our wedding ceremony!
Pat & Teresa
Dear Pastor Bill, Rachel & I wanted to send you a note right away to let you know how special you made our wedding day. We could not have asked for, or expected a better ceremony than what you gave us and we both feel that God has truly blessed you with a gift. Everything from your opening remarks to the prayers and the exchange of vows
was perfect and when you brought Jonathan and Cameron up to join us for a family blessing, you can't imagine how touched we were. We received so many comments from the family and friends that attended our wedding expressing how moved they were, and we just want you to know that you have very special place in both our hearts.
Christopher & Rachel
Hi Pastor Bill! Thanks again for the lovely ceremony! As we mentioned, we had countless compliments on what a great job you did. We can't thank you enough for making it so special & memorable. We also appreciate all of your guideance and extra help along the way. We are looking forward to keeping in touch with you
Karin & Larry
Pastor Bill, everyone loved your personal message! You were so loving, caring, adn friendly through the whole "hectic" process of the wedding planning. Your friendly smile and helpful nature helped put us both at ease. We really appreciate your friendship and look forward to having coffee again with you soon - perhaps for our anniversary!
Tom & Tammy
"We enjoyed meeting you initially via e-mail, then phone, then in person. I personally left very excited. You were exactly the person we wanted for our wedding. We appreciated the fact that you made the ceremony personal by utilizing the info we shared with you. I think all our guests who know us enjoyed the fact that the ceremony (and the reception) were not the standard fare. You made the ceremony fun, yet kept the sanctity and the respect for such an event. We will recommend you in a heartbeat!"
Jerry & Sonia
Marc and I both left our initial meeting very confident that Pastor Yaccino would be able to make our ceremony one that was personalized, with a mixture of sincerity, humor, and love. Our continuing emails and phone conversations helped us thoughtfully plan our ceremony and prepare for our big day! The ceremony was exactly what we were hoping for. Here are some comments from our guests:
-The personalized stories about Marc and I and our relationship
-The bits of humor and laughter
- It was meaningful and presented the meaning of marriage through the eyes of Christianity
-How nice of a guy Rev. Yaccino was, and how friendly and funny he was (Mother of the Groom)
-Mother of the Groom appreciated that he came by before the ceremony and spoke with both wedding parties
-"It was the best ceremony I have ever been to - I can usually find things I don't like about a ceremony, but not with this one!"
Many more guests came up to us, as well as our parents to tell us how wonderful they felt the ceremony was! Some guests even took mental notes of pieces of the ceremony for reference in the future! And all felt that Pastor Yaccino was a wonderful officiant. Thanks so much!
Marc & Tamara
Pastor Bill, the ceremony really set the tone for the whole day. Our guests were more than likely expecting a long church-y lecture, but were pleasantly surprised. They had fun watching this ceremony. You had such a good mix of spiritual thoughts, our story, humor, warmth and so forth. We will always recommend your services to anyone looking to get married. We told all of our guests to call you for any future wedding needs!
Brad & Laurie
"We were lucky, the first thing we did was to find a place to have the reception and fortunately the manager recommended Pastor Bill. The ceremony was great!. We had several people tell us that it was the nicest wedding they had ever been to. Bill did such a great job, we were very happy with how every thing turned out, he was able to keep the ceremony short, lively, but yet serious. I loved the analogies that were made and I loved the fact that even though we did not get married in the church, God was still included in the whole facet of things."
Charles & Andrea
Bill, here's a photo of the wedding. We just had a wedding CD made and your officiating was the best I've ever heard. Thanks again for binding us together.
Dawn & Anthony
"We heard about Pastor Bill in a bridal magazine and also our neighbors were married by him. The initial meeting helped us to relax a bit and enjoy the process. Bill really made us feel that everything was moving in the right direction and that he would be one less thing to worry about as we had complete confidence in him. We left peaceful. And happy! Our guests really enjoyed what Bill had to say and our parents liked that different parts of our lives were brought in to the ceremony as well. We will definitely recommend Bill to our friends - especially those that are looking for something a bit outside the norm and yet classy!"
Amanda & Chris
"All the arrangements and conversations were timely and we enjoyed them all, especially the rehearsal. We were relieved we had you there that night! You added more comfort and direction than you may have thought. The ceremony was great, and your thoughts and bible reading during the ceremony were delightful. Many people also commented they enjoyed the way you brought laughter and seriousness together. You helped us relax by guiding the service, stepping in where we may have needed some direction. Thanks again."
David & Karen
We left our first meeting time feeling very positive about our ceremony. During the ceremony, we heard several times you talked to us, not at us. The ceremony was very much not the same one you do with every couple. It was very personalized. We would recommend your services to anyone!
Chris & Jennifer
Thank you so much for helping to make our wedding day so special! We heard lots of great comments about the service. It really was very beautiful and I know your presence helped me feel at ease. It was a perfect day and your guidance helped make that happen.
Tracy & John
Thank you so much for being a part of a our special day and starting us off on our married journey! So many of our friends and family told us how wonderful the ceremony was, with comments like: "That was the best ceremony I have ever seen," and "It was so great to hear personal stories about the two of you, mixed with tales about marriage, and humor," and just how great of a job you did! I couldn't agree more! We were both extremely pleased with how it all turned out!
