Ed is the best!
Ed provided incredible support and guidance throughout our wedding planning process. His communication style was very open, ensuring we were always on the same page, always checking in with us. The quality of his work was super mindful, thought out, intentional, and resourceful. Ed, was so fun and personable - very easy to talk to. He really got to know us and provided key tips on staying close and preparing for marriage. Ed used great tools specific for our relationship and kept communication open and honest. He opened our eyes to reflect on our relationship and get ready for this new chapter. We truly felt heard and respected throughout. We cannot recommend Ed enough and already miss our monthly check-ins with Ed!

Best Day EVER
No rain, All sunshine!! We were very blessed to have such a beautiful day to celebrate our wedding. Pastor Ed was supportive in all of our preferences and accommodated our short time line with ease. We were very comfortable in talking with Pastor Ed during our pre-wedding meetings. His lasting care for our marriage is appreciated with his check-in messages. We would highly recommend him to officiate any wedding.
Edward Choy•Mar 18, 2026Thank you so much Tanya and Deilert! It means so much!

A wonderful wedding
Pastor Ed was great to work with for our wedding! Our entire ceremony was well thought out and he was organized, prepared, and he helped make our day that much more special. Pastor Ed helped tailor our ceremony to be exactly how we wanted it, and his guidance and advice was very helpful. We had multiple meetings before the big day to prepare everything and make sure it was just right. Pastor Ed was very communicative and open to our ideas as well. We would highly recommend him for any wedding!
Edward Choy•Mar 18, 2026Thank you for taking time to share your experience with me. I LOVED connecting with you guys and seeing it all come together. What a FUN & MEANINGFUL ceremony!

Perfect Day!
Premier Wedding Pastors were absolutely fantastic to work with for our elopement wedding! Their communication was excellent throughout the entire process - they were always prompt in responding to our questions and very easy to get in touch with. Pastor Ed took the time to really get to know us and personalize our wedding ceremony, which was so special. He was even willing to hike with us to the top of a cliff for our breathtaking outdoor ceremony location. They truly made our elopement dream wedding possible and we are so grateful for their professionalism and genuine care. We highly recommend Premier Wedding Pastors to any couple looking for an officiant who will go above and beyond to make your wedding day perfect.
Edward Choy•Mar 14, 2026Thank you so much Jess! I remember you asking how I felt about hiking to the spot when we first met. It was so fun and meaningful to be part of the whole process and see it come together so beautifully!
