Paster Mabry (Sensational Ceremonies Atlanta, GA) was one of the best choices we made in our wedding plan! He is an amazing man of faith who is incredibly personable and a true pleasure to work with. Planning a wedding is tough enough and Paster Mabry made it easy. He gave us great material help with organizing the flow if our ceremony. Reasons Paster Mabry should be your wedding officiant: 1) Genuine Warmth - From our first meeting he put us completely at ease. He took the time to get to know us in a short time. We knew when we left the meeting that we found the right officiant for our special day. 2) Affordable - When planning a wedding it's easy for the budget to spiral out of control. Sensational Ceremonies was a reasonable choice. Paster Mabry met with us for an initial meeting, attended the rehearsal & and conducted the ceremony all for an affordable price. 3) Organized - One of the choices you have to make when planning a wedding is whether the officiant will attend the rehearsal. When I contacted other officiants most didn't see the need to attend the rehearsal since they have conducted many weddings. That may be fine in some situations however we wanted to make sure that everything was a stress-free, no-brainer on wedding day. It was Paster Mabry's experience with weddings that was invaluable at the rehearsal. Having him attend the rehearsal was (next to choosing him) one of the best decisions we made. Even though we had a wedding director that conducted the rehearsal Paster Mabry gave great guidance on the ceremony. Because of this we felt very confident going into the wedding the following day. 4) Charming Person - He was a calming influence on the wedding day. Even though we had a hiccup (one of the unity candles went out) he was able to bring lite humor to the moment defusing any possible nervous tension. Additionally he took the time to get to know us well enough that everyone was comfortable. Many people commented on how much they loved the way he conducted the ceremony and because it felt very personal they also thought we had known him for a long time. Selecting Paster Mabry was one of our best decisions and Sensational Ceremonies made it easy. read more

You can't get married without the most essential part of the entire ceremony, the officiant. Being united as one, should be something that captures the spirit of you both, as well as the hearts of your guests. I can say, without a doubt, that Pastor James Bray is the best blessing we could have had for our wedding day. From the day we first spoke with Pastor James, we knew he was the officiant to marry us. He has a great sense of humor, and a close relationship with God. His background is incredible and he was there when I needed him for advice and for setting up our ceremony down to the final components. So many of our guests complemented us on our actual ceremony. It wasn't boring, it was moving and different, just like us. If you are looking for the perfect officiant, and you've been praying for the right one, you've found it. Ask for Pastor James Bray. We were married at Elmwood Gardens in Palestine, TX last month. We live in Mansfield, TX but Pastor James made it a point to meet with us in person to make sure we had the right fit. Also, the price was exactly what we were looking for as well. We left for our honeymoon the Monday following our Saturday wedding, and Pastor James promptly handled our marriage license for us. That was a huge help, because we were able to come home a week later to the official completed license from our county's office, and I was able to start the name change with zero hassles. SO SIMPLE! Like a GIFT from God :) read more
