Scott & Kristin

Scott and I were so grateful that you were the pastor for our wedding.  Your service was so beautiful that several of our guests requested a copy of your sermon. 

Thank you.  You were a large part of what made our wedding special.

 
 

 

Anita & Jonathan

Thank you so much for officiating our wedding.  Your direction during the ceremony was right on cue.  You can't imagine all the positive comments made by members of the wedding party. 

We all concluded, "Rev. Burns makes you feel like you have known her all your life."  And Jonathan was quite pleased with you, starting at the rehearsal. 

He even has some far fetched idea that he knows you!!

Much Love Rev. Burns. 

We will always recommend you.

Respectfully,

Julian and Caren

 

On our wedding day, a lot had been achieved in a short time, after a lot of planning and activities.  We were a consecrated married coupled, gone through an incredible jovial, warm, friendly, and successful wedding ceremony.  

 

You, Rev. S.J. Burns, are one of those who played a role before and during the day of our ceremony,  to ensure the glamorous occasion of our wedding.

 

We and our parents wish to covey to you, our deepest appreciation for your services and all other contributions leading to the success of our wedding. 

 

Thank you very much.

 
 

 

Wayne and Kelly

Thank you for your excellent service which was greatly appreciated.

 
 

 

Eileen and William

I want to thank you for making our new beginning one to remember forever. The service was beautiful and you are GREAT!!

 
 

 

Rocio and Melissa

 

I wanted to thank you for the central part you played in our beautiful, wonderful ceremony. From our first conversation on the phone, your energy was peaceful, calming, reassuring, and positive. This energy carried through to our in-person meeting and during the entire ceremony itself. 

 

Even during the ceremony, when both Rocio and I were nervous and emotional while reading our vows, you were the calming voice that whispered, "take your time." That made all the difference. We planned our own wedding (ceremony and reception) and you helped take some of the chaos out of the planning process. 

 

You gave us structure without confining us, and direction without losing sight of our needs and wants to make the ceremony a reflection of us. You are easy to talk to and I felt comfortable disclosing information about us and our families and history that helped us in shaping the ceremony. Thank you!!

 
 

 

Phillip and Shellon

 

First, we would like to thank you very much for performing our marriage ceremony.  You were very prompt, thorough, and  professional from the very

Everything on your part was done to our satisfaction.  THANK YOU!

 
 

 

Sharon and Norval

 

Thank you for officiating our wedding ceremony.  Everyone commented on how wonderfully you performed the service.  The evening could not have been more beautiful!  We appreciate your patience and kindness.

 
 

 

Krischa & Vincent

 

I cannot thank you enough for making my wedding day a very special day, considering the circumstances in which it took place.  This will be a day that Vincent and I won't forget.

 
 

 

Daquan and Joy


I wanted to take this time out and say thanks for everything.  It was so special and a memorable event.
