Reviews for Weddings By Wayne: Minister & Photography Services
GUEST




I am SO thankful we chose Wayne as our officiant. He and his wife, Amanda, were wonderful and pretty much saved our wedding day. The day of our wedding, our wedding coordinator at our venue became ill and had to be rushed to the hospital. Amanda took the reigns and organized us all. Without her, things would have been a disaster. Wayne did a great job performing the ceremony. He was very professional and also personable. I would highly recommend Weddings by Wayne.
GUEST




Rev Wayne and his wife Amanda were wonderful. Their flexibility and relaxed demeanor was just want we needed. They were fun, professional and a joy to work with. Everyone at the wedding just loved them. Rev Wayne helped calm our nerves and Amanda took charge in making sure all the pictures that we wanted were taken.
Thanks for making our wedding so special.

Rev. Wayne and his wife Amanda were great. They were always there for us throught our planning by phone and email. They did a rehearsal for us and came early to the wedding (they were our photographers too). Our ceremony was exactly how we wanted it. Simple, sweet, somewhat romantic, outdoors non demonital.
They are great to work with and easy to get along with and made us feel comfortable. We would recommend them to any couple.
GUEST

GUEST




I had the pleasure of Rev. Wayne and his wife Amanda officianting my wedding ceremony. They always answered my questions in a timely manner and always were nice and very helpful. They worked with us on the ceremony so we could still make it our own. I would 100% recommend.
GUEST




Reverand Wayne and Amanda were wonderful. We had a hard time trying to find some to Marry us. A friend recommended Reverand Wayne. It was the most wonderful thing to happen to us. We wanted a short, sweet and simple ceremony. Reverand Wayne and Amanda were awesome they helped us plan our ceremony just the way we wanted it. They were there to answer any questions we had. They help make our wedding day wonderful and perfect. If you need help finding a vendor they will help you or someone to help you get threw the crazyness of your wedding. Our ceremony was very short, sweet and simple. Which worked out great with 90 degree weather. If you want the best for your wedding day Reverand Wayne and Amanda are the ones to call.
GUEST




We couldnt have been happier with rev wayne and amanda. They went above and beyond what we expected. The ceremony was beautiful and we would suggest him to anyone!
GUEST




Reverend Wayne and Amanda were great. We were able to make our ceremony fit our personalities, which was great. We didn't have a rehearsal because our wedding was at a winery, but everything ran very smoothly. Amanda was our photographer and she did a wonderful job capturing not only the bridal party, but all of our guests at the reception.
GUEST




We were not completly unhappy at first. This process has been a learning experience. We wish you both well.
Vendor response to review
We were very upset with this review but we knew it was coming, out of 150 weddings or so that we have done, this is the first and only one we have ever been made to feel that we were out of place and not suppose to be there.
As for the confidentiality, we keep all names and personal information confidential. We were asked to keep a secret from the family, therefore we did not say anything at the rehearsal or wedding. Which means we did keep it confidential. We did this because you asked and we respected your wishes. We do not share any information with other people of any sort, no names, or other personal information (such as address or phone numbers, place or date of ceremony) was ever given or will be given about any couple.
To us this is not a job, we do this because we love it. We put our hearts and souls into each wedding that we do. We try to get to know each couple on a personal level to make everyone less stressed and feel more comfortable on the wedding day.
One thing that bothered me is that we were hired after they were not happy with us at the meeting. We have meetings because if we cannot get along, the last thing we want you to do is hire someone you are not comfortable with. We understand that not all personalities will get along and sometimes people clash, this is why we allow couples time after their meetings to decide if we would be a good fit into their weddings.
We are sorry that you were not happy with our services. We are not sure what we could have changed to make things any better, but we wish you both the best on your future and hope you have many happy years ahead.
GUEST




i could not ask for a nicer more effcient reverend and photographer. what wonderful people. i am so glad i took a shot in the dark and hired these two. what a bang for my buck. THEY WERE GREAT.
GUEST




Reverend Wayne and his wife Amanda were both very friendly, supportive and helpful. They made planning our service as easy as possible. The service itself went just as planned. We also used Amanda as our photographer for the ceremony and post-ceremony photos. We received our pictures well within the promised time, and they are great! Some imaginative poses and angles as well as the traditional shots that we wanted.
GUEST




Services provided were excellent. He was very accomadating to our needs.
GUEST




Reverend Wayne and Amanda were very nice. It went nice and smooth just we wanted. I wrote e-mail to them last week that I wanted to get marry yesterday. They make time for us. It was very nice of them to let us marry in his house. Thank you very much! Best wishes from Ramirez. ^_^
GUEST




Wayne and Amanda are a great couple, they worked together and they made our special day even more special. We couldn't be happier!

GUEST




Reverend Wayne and his wife, Amanda are awesome! They made everyone super comfortable and Amanda's photography skills are fantastic! She took pictures of everything including our cat guarding my gown, me cutting my hair at the last minute, and of course every family photo we asked for. Reverend Wayne is extremely helpful and genuinely interested in every aspect of the ceremony. We are a blended family with 5 children and they made it easy to include everyone. My husband and I made the perfect choice!
GUEST




Rev. Wayne & Amanda provided exactly what we needed, when we needed it. We had a no frills wedding in Schenley Park, Pittsburgh, PA. They were very accomodating and made the process comfortable and easy. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to other couples in the future.
GUEST




Reverend Wayne and his wife Amanda worked our wedding in Saltsburg Pa.
They did an outstanding job and received praise from all those in attendance. In addition, they came in early and in the crunch helped us set up balloons. Rev Wayne and Amanda bring a terrific charm and gentle disposition to their work and their approach is highly appreciated and will remain in our memories for a long time.
Also, throughout the weeks leading up to the wedding they were highly accessbile and walked us through the pre-wedding stages.
GUEST




Very easy to communicate with. Responded to emails within hours! Ceremony was non traditional on my wife and my choice. The Rev. was able to change things for us easily. He was on time and took his time to give us the best ceremony and made it special! Doug and Lisa
GUEST




Reverend Wayne performed our ceremony and both him and his wife Amanda did our photography. I would definitely recommend the both of them....they are awesome!!!!! The ceremony went very smoothly, we couldn't ask for anything better. He is so laid back and easy to work with. The pictures turned out amazing, they took approx. 600 photos. I swear they captured every aspect of the ceremony and reception. They took a wonderful variety of posed and unposed shots. They then burned the photos on cd's for us which made getting them developed so easy. Our family's were able to just pick and choose which photos they wanted. Reverend Wayne and Amanda made our day very special......and I guarantee they would do the same for you.
GUEST




Reverend Wayne married us on Sept. 6th, he did a wonderfull job. Our friends and family were very impressed with how laid back he was being that we had a small park wedding. Both his wife and himself were there to answer any questions that we had and to work with us to make sure that we had a great stress free day. I would have to say that I would suggest him to any of my friends that are looking to be married.

Both Wayne and his wife did an exceptional job. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for an officiant. They are well organized and make your ceremony as special as you want it! Fantastic job done!!!
GUEST




When searching the internet for a way to Elope in PA - Weddings By Wayne was one of the selections and I'm so glad we chose them. Wayne and Amanda were very helpful and professional, answered all of our questions, gave us the needed information and we were very satisfied with our day.
GUEST




Reverend Wayne and his wife Amanda were awesome. They helped us plan our entire wedding in 2 months. We had a very low budget wedding and they had great ideas on money saving tips, and worked with us on every aspect of what we needed. We never thought we could pull an entire wedding together in that short amount of time.
Reverend Wayne did a wonderful ceremony, it was 95 degrees and when asked to make the ceremony as fast as possible since we were all very HOT and it was outside, he was very accomendating to our wants and needs. He made it go by smoothly even though we had twirks not worked out since we did not want a rehearsal, but it made the wedding fun and unpredictable, which is us to a T. LOL.
Amanda did a wonderful job with photography. She knew we were hot so she got our pics done fast and did exactly what we wanted. She made sure that we got all the major shots that we wanted and did not miss a beat. Reverend Wayne also helped with photography throughout the night which made it nice to have 2 photographers at the reception.
We highly recommend thier services to anyone looking.
GUEST




Were very easy to work with...especially since we booked them from out of state and didn't have time to meet prior to the wedding. Amanda was very responsive to emails and phone calls. Only complaints were that Rev. Wayne stumbled on my last name during the ceremony...we should have practiced that more. Also, Amanda was somewhat overbearing with the wedding coordination on the day of...this is typical of wedding coordinators and in fact, oftentimes necessary. In hindsight, I wish I would have hired a friend (not in the bridal party) to coordinate on the day of so they could work with her to make decisions.
GUEST




Very friendly, very flexible. Wanted to make sure that the bride and groom were happy. Reverend and wife had a lot of good tips and advice on how to approach "the big day".
GUEST




After finding out I would not have the week's vacation before our reception, we wanted to get married quickly- to have the stress of the ceremony over before the celebration was scheduled.
We found that NONE of the local magistrates were willing to marry us, and I remembered seeing the Weddings by Wayne moniker on Freecycle.
Wayne and Amanda came to our home, made us feel totally comfortable and didn't think it was weird at all that we got married on a Wednesday night! (or that my husband chose a Harley t-shirt for his wedding attire!)
We got exactly what we wanted. Thanks!
GUEST




Rev Wayne and His wife Amanda are awesome down to earth sweet family oriented people that made my wedding day exceptional and magical:) Rev Wayne was willing to work with us no matter how many changes we made and his wife is an excellent amateur photographer. They even recommended my D.J. Matt who did and incredible job and also the catering Beyond Paisley wonderful food i must add:) Without Rev Wayne and his wife we wouldn't have been able to pull off our wedding in 6 months and for that i'm forever grateful:)
Love You Both

GUEST




Reverend Wayne really listened to what we wanted and customized a ceremony to fit our needs perfectly. He cared about making our day perfect and went the extra mile for us. Reverend Wayne's wife, Amanda, was our photographer, and she did a fantastic job as well. We got hundreds of great pictures at a very affordable price. We highly recommend Reverend Wayne and Amanda for wedding ceremonies and photography.
GUEST




Rev. Wayne and Amanda gave us the PERFECT ceremony. They are two of the nicest and most professional people we've dealt with. They were very kind and approachable. It was very easy to ask any wedding questions we had - and we always got honest and helpful answers. Amanda did an excellent job as an additional wedding coordinator - she knows her stuff! Everything was perfect. Too bad we can't get married over and over to continue working with them. :) Wonderful people! We'd recommend them to everyone looking for an officiant who will be willing to do whatever type of ceremony that you're looking to do at an extremely affordable price!!
GUEST




One of the greatest people you will ever meet. They helped with everything, and I couldn't imagine my wedding without them. They were extremely helpful and Amanda was like a wedding coordinator and an extra photographer all in one. They under charge for everything they do. They have become members of my family. I just can't say enough about this couple and the services they provided.
GUEST




Rev. Wayne and his wife Amanda were awesome. We booked with them three weeks before our wedding and they were fully able and willing to work with us. We wanted a very non-religious ceremony and had even written our own ceremony and he performed it flawlessly. They are very nice people and I would recommend them to anyone!
GUEST




Everything was great. Couldn't ask for anything more...Thank you so much.
GUEST




We had a minister all lined up that we found online, with a church. Yes, it was small and we were not members of his church. He cancelled our ceremony Wed. night for that Friday for a funeral for a member of the church. I have never heard of a funeral at 4:30pm! My mom looked online again, because we really did not want to go to a JP. She found Wayne's number there and called. He was very nice and accomodating for us. At such shory notice, he was able to marry us and give us a nice, personal ceremony. God works in mysterious ways and the first minister cancelling on us was the way it should be. Wayne and his lovely wife Amanda were kind, and took our wants and suggestions and made our ceremony short, but beautiful and just what we wanted. Perffect.
GUEST




Rev. Wayne and Amanda were so easy to work with and highly professional, while still making you feel like family. They worked with us to produce the prefect ceremony. They also took the reigns when the church coordinator turned out to be less than reliable in that regard. They saved the day on that count and we couldn't be more grateful. We were grateful to have Rev. Wayne and Amanda involved in every step of the wedding.
We recommend Weddings by Wayne to everyone that we know who is planning a wedding.
GUEST




The Reverend and his wife were wonderful caring individuals. When we were having troubles with the ceremony music, Amanda became the liason between me, hiding in the restroom from the groom, the DJ and the groom. They were terrific!
GUEST




Rev. Wayne was wonderful to work with. He and his wife both did a great job. They worked with us to tailor the ceremony to our needs. I would recommend him to any of my friends. :)
GUEST




Working with Weddings by Wayne was a wonderful experience and helped make our day PERFECT!
GUEST




Reverand Wayne was wonderful! He and his wife did an amazing job and were extraordinarily adept at making our special day PERFECT.
GUEST




Our experience with Weddings By Wayne was exceptional. He provided us with a beautiful ceremony and the planning up to the wedding day was great as well. He gave us suggestions on things we could do at our ceremony and let us customize it with our own special touches as well. I would highly recommend his services to any couple who is looking for a professional and very down to earth officiant for their wedding ceremony.
GUEST




Rev. Wayne provided us with exactly the wedding we wanted, was pleasant and easy to work with every step of the way.
GUEST




The Quality of Service was friendly. Wayne & his wife gave us the feeling that we are apart of their family. We spoke to them a few days before Christmas in 2007 & we agreed with their services that same night. Even today we are thankful that they took the wedding day into their own hands when the DJ tried to take over the day.
GUEST




At the last minute (3 days before our wedding) we had a problem with the minister who was going to marry us. I found Wayne's number online and called him. He and his wife rearranged personal plans to marry us on our wedding day. We were so grateful and ended up with a beautiful wedding. Wayne is very friendly and professional, I would definetly recommend him!
great folks. very professional and helpful!
I have only worked with Rev. Wayne and his wife, Amanda, once, but they were wonderful with the bride/groom. They allowed them the flexibility do their own vows or pick and choose from others that were already written. I have heard nothing but positive reviews about this amazing duo!
