Amazing experience with LoveNotes
Rev. Marty Younkin was our officiant for our wedding and I was able to find him through my wedding vendor and WeddingWire. He is so professional yet personable, you really feel like you have known him for years! He is passionate about his work and it shows, which is so important because we did not want to our ceremony to come across as it being led by a stranger but from someone who cares and knows what they are doing. Rev Marty embodied all of that and more! He took the time to chat with our family and guests as well which I loved, he wasn't only there to do a job, he really is invested in his couples and that made us feel so loved. Thank you Marty for making our day so special, we could not ask for a more lovely ceremony!

Absolutely wonderful wedding officiant
Mr. Charley Taylor was a fantastic wedding officiant. Charley was easy to communicate and work with, and the process leading up to the wedding was seamless. After several virtual visits, we (Bride and Groom) felt comfortable with Charley- like we had known him for much longer than we actually had. Our ceremony was beautiful, personal, and so special; multiple friends and family members have commented on how great Charley conducted our wedding ceremony. I recommend Charley to anyone who yearns for a memorable and cherished wedding ceremony!

Barron Bell
Associate Minister
Barron Bell is a Texas boy through and through. He is a native of Dallas, TX, a graduate of Texas A&M (Gig ‘em Aggies!) and he completed graduate studies at Austin Presbyterian Seminary. Barron has spent 42 years providing ministerial services to people from all walks of life. His experience includes assisting couples in achieving their goals and dreams for their big day. He believes every bride and groom should be able to say ‘that’s exactly what I wanted’ at the end of their ceremony. He has learned it takes both creativity and sensitivity when working with couples, their families, and their vendors in order to give brides and grooms the wedding of their dreams and ‘keep the peace’ at the same time. Barron says, ‘The wedding lasts for a day, but relationships last forever…if people are considerate of one another. It’s important to keep that in perspective when planning a wedding.’
Ken Byrd
Associate Minister
Ken Byrd, aka ‘the Byrdman,’ has been married for 50 years to…‘the lovely Byrdwoman.’ As a minister for more than 30 years, his favorite job has been working with student and young adult ministries. He also has a degree in communications from the University of Texas (Hook ‘em horns!) and has an extensive background in broadcasting. But of all the scripts he has been required to learn, he says there’s nothing quite like the joy of saying the words ‘I now pronounce you husband and wife.’ He enjoys it every single time! Ken received the 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 Favorite Minister award from the American Association of Certified Wedding Planners.
