Reverend Gale M. York

Reverend York is a fantastic marriage officiant, and I recommend her to all. My wife and I come from different cultural backgrounds. When we searched for an officiant, we looked from someone that was willing to customize a ceremony that fit our diverse roots. We knew from the get go that Reverend York was the right match. She worked closely with us to create a customized ceremony. On the big day, she perfectly conducted the ceremony we put together. Her presence and command of the room was stellar. I highly recommend Reverend York to all people looking to create a perfect wedding!

We wanted a short, simple traditional ceremony, and Rev. York provided it for us at a very reasonable rate. Rev. York met with us, and within about 2 minutes we knew we wanted her doing the ceremony. Her friendliness, upbeat and cheerful personality, and attention to detail, made the decision easy.
On our wedding day, Rev York met with each of us, and ran through what we needed to do. Since it was a very low budget affair, we had no done a rehearsal..and Rev York was so very helpful before the event and day of, making sure we had everything right. We both feel she went well above and beyond what her fee is.
It didn't feel like an "officiant" was marrying us...Rev York made it feel like one of our closest friends was there.

Rev Gale did a great job. We really liked that she had several ceremony options to choose from(religious, traditional & contemporary) & we were able to combine the aspects that we liked about each of them to suit us perfectly. Rev. Gale was very helpful and was quick to answer any questions we had. Our ceremony was beautiful & I would definitely recommend her. Thank you Reverend Gale!

Gale and her husband came to my wedding all the way from Atlanta to Knoxville, TN. She is the most accommodating, organized, well-spoken officiant I have ever seen and I have been in 7 weddings in the last 4 years. She had amazing suggestions and examples. Coming from a technology background I found it very cool that I first met Gale through Skype and I knew she was the right person for our wedding right away.

Gale we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all your hard work and for doing an amazing job on one of the most memorable days of our lives.

Rev. Gale York was perfect for our wedding. She let us choose from many options to create our own ceremony with our own beliefs. Unfortunately we were not able to have a rehearsal together because of another booking, but she made sure she was there extra early on our wedding day to make sure everything was right. The other thing that stuck out to me was that she wanted to meet us in person and talk to us. It was nice to have someone care like she did.

Reverand York was a great officiant! We loved how open-minded she is, and didn't feel judged when we requested a non-religious ceremony. She stayed calm in all the chaos and was able to calm our nerves as well. I would recommend Reverend York to anyone!

Reverend York was very professional. She was patient and was very helpful in keeping my wife and I calm and focused during the ceremony.

Reverend York was such a pleasure to work with throughout the wedding process. She helped us create our ceremony based on what worked best for us. We met earlier on in the process to get to know eachother and make sure we were all a good fit and we were :) The wedding day was flawless and Reverend York made sure we knew what was going on throughout the entire ceremony. She was wonderful!

Everything with Rev Gale was great..simple, flexible, easy to work with...Just wish the rest the hotel we had it at were as good as she was!

Reverend Gale was excellent. She was very professional in her speaking and tailored to our needs.

Also, from a groom perspective, she definately helped me feel calm as we waited 10 minutes before everything happened.

Very happy with the service we received and would totally recommend Gale to all of my friends.

Reverend York was everything we were looking for in an officiant. She let us create our own personal ceremony and helped with any questions along the way. Everything went so perfectly on our wedding day and we owe so much thanks to Rev York!

When my fiance and I got engaged, we realized neither of us had a "home church" in the Atlanta area. Neither of our parents or close relatives live here, either, so we were stumped on choosing an officiant. When we met Gale, I felt like I'd known her for years. She was warm, funny, maternal (a comfort to a bride away from her family), but also very professional. She spoke with us in detail about the ceremony choices she offered, and was willing to tweak the details to be sure that we got a ceremony meaningful to us. On our wedding day, guests complimented us several times on the sincerity and beauty of our ceremony. I was, admittedly, an emotional bride who boo-hooed her way through the entire thing! Gale was there with a calm, reassuring voice, gently reminding me to take a breath, and handing me tissues when necessary! This is the sort of service you (hopefully) only need once, but I will highly recommend her to other couples!

Rev. Gale was not only helpful and accommodating, she was so friendly and down-to-Earth. We only saw her three times: meeting with her for the very first time, the rehearsal, and then the actual wedding, and all three times, it felt like we'd known her for years.

She is witty and kind - she looks you in the eyes when she is talking to you, and has a wonderful sense of humor. When I was nervous, she made sure to talk to me and calm me down, both before AND during the ceremony! She is so sweet and was such a pleasure to work with. She was extremely responsive in both emails and phone calls. We will miss her and hope everyone books her for their wedding!

Rev. Gale was wonderful! She was so accomodating and had lot's of wonderful suggestions for personalizing our ceremony. We met with her several times via phone and she couldn't have been nicer. We planned our wedding in a very small amount of time and didn't make our final wishes for the ceremony known until a few days before the wedding. Rev. Gale was so kind about the last minute changes and didn't miss a beat during the ceremony. We would highly recommend Rev. Gale!!

Everything went perfectly on our wedding day, and Reverned Gale was EXCELLENT to work with! She helped make it a very special day for us, and would reccommend her to anyone...

Reverend Gale York was a delight to have at our wedding. She was so relaxing and very helpful. The ceremony scripts that are available are beautiful and you can adjust the wording to your liking. Not only was she an officiant at our wedding but she also helped smooth out some bumpy situation on our special day! You'll love having her at your wedding and I would recommend her to anyone who lives in Georgia!

Reverend York arrived early and went over what would happen during wedding. She even wentout of her way to make sure there was a phone on connected to my mother who could not make it but could hear it over the phone. She suggested that she take group pictures with my camera after so that everyone who was there could be in it. All in all I would say she was worth having there.

Reverend Gale M. York was the perfect person to officiate our wedding on 09/18/10 at Lake Lanier Islands Resort. We could not have been happier with her services! We booked Rev. York during our first meeting with her, we knew within the first five minutes she was the person we wanted to marry us. She worked with us closely and offered us guidance to choose the perfect ceremony that worked for us. She also introduced us to the "wine ceremony" which we did (in lieu of a candle lighting or sand ceremony) and were really happy with how it turned out. A lot of guests commented on how unique and wonderful it was! I highly recommend Rev. Gale York for your wedding officiate!!

We were thrilled with Reverend Gale. Not only was she very enthusiastic about our wedding, she also allowed us to customize our ceremony. The result was a beautiful and very personal event and we are still receiving compliments. I would highly recommend Rev. Gale; she will work with you to create a ceremony perfect for you!

We couldn't have asked anyone better to officiate our wedding. Rev Gale even coordinated our wedding at the last hour! Everyone was still running around and getting ready. We didn't have time to rehearse and discuss the walks with any of the wedding party. Rev Gale went after everyone and to let them know how the wedding is going to work out and where to walk and with whom. She was very professional, calm, and collected despite issues that we had. It was coordinated beautifully. I didn't know what was going on until I walked down the aisle. Rev Gale had already worked it out with everyone. She kept us calm and was very helpful. I don't know how our wedding would have turned out without Rev Gale! Thank you again!

We were without an officiant a month or so before our wedding. We found Rev. Gale on WeddingWire and setup a meeting with her. We immediately knew that she would be perfect to join us together in the bond of marriage.
We communicated frequently up until the wedding and she took care of every little detail for us. We were very satisfied with Rev. Gale and would recommend her to anyone!

We had a great experience with Reverend York and would not hesitate to recommend her to others. She was fantastic to deal with, with a great sense of humor and put us at ease right off the bat.

Great job, thanks!

Reverend York was exactly the person we were looking for to conduct our wedding ceremony. She spent time with us initially, getting an idea of what type of ceremony we were looking for, and then provided us with suggestions to make our ceremony unique and perfect for us. She's extremely professional, and so easy to work with. She has some wonderful ceremony samples, readings, etc. to choose from, and is happy to help couples put together a ceremony that is just right for them. We could not have been happier with our choice!

Rev. York was great! Since I was planning my wedding from 1400 miles away, she made sure we "met" on Skype and that she was the right match for my ceremony. Her packages are diverse and we found one that met our desires and were able to customize it to be our own. She kept the ceremony simple, just as I requested, but still made it personal and beautiful. She truly is a great person.

When we found Reverend York and had a chance to speak with her, we were delighted! Not only was she extremely prompt in returning our phone calls, but her excitement about performing our ceremony would have made you think she had known us for years! She was extremely professional and worked with us to make sure we had the exact ceremony we had always wanted. We would absolutely recommend Reverend York to anyone and everyone.

Reverend York did an excellent job as the officiant for our wedding. She put us at ease from our first meeting up to the day of the wedding. She allowed us to personalize our ceremony and worked with us to provide the ceremony that we envisioned. Her participation at the rehearsal and the morning of the wedding was invaluable as was as her ability to blend well with our family and friends. Her services were very much appreciated and are highly recommended.

Reverend York was so personal - it was as though she was part of the family on this special day. She understood what was needed to make our ceremony intimate. Has a lovely spirit - this is truly a ministry for her, not just a "thing" she does.

I was so happy that Reverend York was the officiant at our marriage. She was very professional, caring and made us feel very relaxed. I would very much recommend her to everyone for your special day.

Rev. Gale was a great officiant for our wedding. She was accommodating and helpful. We wrote our ceremony from scratch using some of her material as a template, and she was happy to help. The day of was where she really went beyond the call of duty, helping get people prepared, calm, remembering some of the small things we forgot, and providing helpful suggestions. She was really on top of things and it let us breathe a lot easier and enjoy our ceremony, which she officiated professionally and with composure.

Rev. York was fantastic! She has a very agreeable attitude and a calming presence, which really helps at such a stressful time. She worked with a good friend of mine to coordinate our rehearsal and ceremony, as we did not hire a professional coordinator - they did a great job! She stayed calm, cool, and collected throughout the ceremony, even when the DJ accidentally started blaring rap music during our vows, and in turn helped us to stay calm! She was also very flexible with our ceremony wording requests. I would recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant in the Atlanta area.

Reverend Gale York was a pleasure to work with. I met with another Reverend as well and after meeting with Rev. York we picked her that very moment. I felt a connection with her and she seemed very light and warm, not stuffy how some Reverends/Pastors can come across. She always emailed me back and answered any questions I had. She showed up on time, looked great and made us feel very comfortable. Everything went smoothly and beautiful, even without a rehearsal (we didn't have one because our ceremony was small & intimate, no wedding party). I don't think any couple wanting to get married can go wrong when chosing her.

Reverend York is wonderful to work with. She is cool, calm and collected on the wedding day even when last minute changes arise. I look forward to working with Reverend York more in the future!
