My husband and I used Pastor Ed Choy as both our ceremony officiant and our premarital advisor. We can't say enough great things about Pastor Ed and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding officiant. (1) Premarital Counseling - Our premarital counseling sessions were excellent. My husband really wanted to have premarital counseling, but I was initially skeptical. However, Pastor Ed was a great listener. Our homework assignments between sessions identified potential areas of personality conflict and how to resolve any conflict. Also, Pastor Ed is very tech savvy. Although my husband and I were in DC, we were able to effectively do all the sessions over Skype. (2) Wedding Officiant - We had an Indian fusion wedding ceremony and Pastor Ed did a great job. He carefully worked with us weeks before the ceremony to make sure everything was perfect. He had excellent insight into intercultural ceremonies. He took our feedback and incorporated it into a beautiful ceremony. On the wedding day, he was amazing. He is very prompt and reliable. He also speaks clearly and confidently and was right on point with the ceremony. My husband and I would highly recommend Pastor Ed as a wedding officiant. Through this process, we have not only been able to call him our Pastor, but also our friend. read more

My fiance and I were looking for someone special to officiate at our wedding. Though we do not belong to a church, we wanted to include God in our ceremony. It was important to us that our officiant be a dedicated spiritual leader and an ordained minister. Pastor Ed was all that and more. Being a mature couple in our 50's, we wanted a private outdoor ceremony for less than a dozen guests overlooking the water. We were pleasantly surprised at every turn, he was with us all the way, supporting our choices, guiding us through the process, and making it as worry-free and fun as possible. When the day finally arrived, he effortlessly balanced the significance of solidifying our union with humor, joy, and lightness - amazing. He made our wedding a wonderful and memorable event that we will always treasure. Thank you, Pastor Ed! You are truly making a difference in people's lives - one happy wedding at a time. Whether you are a young couple or more established like us, planning a simple or elaborate ceremony, we highly recommend Pastor Ed wholeheartedly. Mike & Diana read more
