Reverend Brent Edwards

What can I say? Reverend Brent killed it on our wedding day! He had all our guests laughing and having a good time – which is exactly what we wanted. He created a perfect blend of humor, thoughtfulness, love, faith, and overall gave a superb performance. We could tell he did his homework because he told our story well and was sure to keep the vibe upbeat and special. We are truly very happy we decided to have Rev Brent marry us. He had some amazing ideas to incorporate (the wine/​tequila box!!!:) and that was really the icing on the cake. He showed up for us again and again and we were in good hands all along the way! Stop stressing and let Rev Brent work his magic on your wedding day!

Reverend Brent BROUGHT DOWN THE HOUSE! Brent married me and my wife this weekend at The Hacienda. Brent helped us through the whole process including writing our personalized vows to customizing our ceremony. Brent spent the time getting to know us personally and created a true connection between us. During the ceremony Brent’s stage craft and poise was amazing! All of the guests were blown away! Everyone came up to us afterwards to tell us it was the best and most heartfelt wedding ceremony they have ever attended! I can’t say enough about Brent. If you’re looking for boring, uncreative and unmemorable Brent is not your guy. My sincere advice, pay a little more and go with the BEST. Thank you Reverend Brent!!!

I can’t say enough good things about Reverend Brent. We loved him so much. He was recommended by our wedding planner. We met with him and immediately felt at ease. He was very accommodating to what we wanted in our ceremony as we are not religious people. To this day, my husband’s grandpa always tells us how much he loved our officiant. A month or so before the wedding we met with him and our wedding planner so he could get to know us and our story better. He was really able to pull our deepest feelings out! He’s better than a therapist! He used that info to design our ceremony. I was SHOCKED to learn he doesnt usually let the wedding couple see what he writes before the wedding day. I, being type A, was about to have a heart attack but I let it go and trusted him to tell the perfect story. Of course, our ceremony ended up being beautiful and amazing. He was the perfect choice and the nicest person. We are so thankful that he was part of our special day!

This review is long overdue.
I first contacted Brent in the Fall of 2014 because he was on the list of preferred vendors for our venue. He was very professional and personable in our initial correspondence but once we politely told him that we decided to go with someone who fit better in our budget, he replied with a snarky comment about our venue, ending with «Good luck with that…». He literally put …
I was shocked at Brent’s rude response, mainly because of all of the great reviews people have left for him. I recently came across his email again in my inbox and decided to write this review as I believe his response was not only rude but totally out of line and inappropriate. I cannot attest to his officiating skills but I can tell that he is not genuine in what he does and is only in it for the money. To this day, my husband and I are so grateful that Brent showed us his true colors and was not part of our special day.

Brent is a great officiant! We met him a few months before our wedding and he was interested to learn all about us. He wanted to know how we met and it was so fun going over all of that with him. He is personable and listened to what we wanted. He doesnt just tell you how your ceremony will be, like a couple other officants we met with, but rather, he listened and then suggested ideas that would work for us. He has great ideas and he totally delievered on all fronts. When wedding day came, we had no idea just how he would take our story and turn it into this humorous, touching and sweet tale about our courtship. Our friends and family are still taking about it. He has a way of making things humorous and touching, and so real, all at the same time. Also, he was able to navigate carefully a religious aspect into the proceedings that was pleasing to all. My husband and I are of different faiths, (are families are too). He knew how to make things work for us with beautiful spirituality, without being too church-​like. I could go on and on about Brent. You will love him.

Reverend Brent was absolutely amazing! David and I met Reverend Brent for brunch and talked about our lives and our story. After listening to us so intently he mentioned something that we had never thought of; the wine box ceremony!!! We loved the idea so much that we immediately ordered the one he suggested and bought our favorite bottle of wine. We wrote each other love letters and in 5 years on our 5^th wedding anniversary we will unlock it, read our love letters, and enjoy the amazing bottle of wine.
The ceremony couldn’t have gone better!!! Reverend Brent made a couple jokes, told our story just the way we had relayed it and really made our day as special as it could have been.
Thank you so much Reverend Brent!

We cannot recommend Brent Edwards more highly. We interviewed many officiants for our wedding. Some were too comical, some too casual, some not great speakers, some just wanted to talk about themselves. Really.
Thank goodness we called Rev. Brent. He was everything we expected in a wedding officiant for our elegant and personable wedding. What is great about Brent, and why he is makes a perfect officiant, is his background in theater. As a professional thespian he has the skills to present clearly, write custom ceremonies, memorize his readings and your vows, and project the persona you prefer. He IS also incredibly kind, patient and warm. We wanted someone who could provide a formal ceremony that was yet personal. He did it perfectly!
We liked that he provided many options for readings for our wedding… poems, scripture — traditional and contemporary translations, you name it… he had tons of stuff to work with. He also got to know us personally with a couple of meetings, and through this process was able to create a custom and personable opening to our ceremony. We were able to edit our ceremony to every word with him, and he made it enjoyable.
If you are a wedding planner in the Orange County or Los Angeles areas you must get to know Brent. He is passionate at what he does and is the ultimate professional.
Our guests were so moved by the whole ceremony and were so impressed by Brent.
We could NOT have done it without him. Brent Edwards is the best officiant for your wedding. Thank you Brent!

We got married last month at the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach and Reverend Brent officiated our ceremony, not to mention this was the first ceremony to take place there on the rooftop deck. He was an absolutely pleasure to work with from the first time my husband and I met him until the day he officially married us and our ceremony was flawless! He is so personable and takes the time to get to know you as a couple prior to your ceremony and is a joy to be around. My husband and I mostly thought about the details of our reception prior and never realized that the ceremony would have been our favorite part of our wedding day and all the credit goes to Reverend Brent! During the ceremony he was funny, lighthearted yet deep when it mattered. The wine box and rose ideas he gave us were a huge hit and our family and friends could not stop talking about how wonderful and heart felt our ceremony was and how great of an officiate we had. We feel so lucky that he performed our ceremony for us and owe him a huge debt of gratitude for helping create the ceremony of our dreams!!! I highly recommend his services and promise that he will not disappoint. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Reverent Brent you are truly the best!!!

Brent was a breath of fresh air for our wedding! He is a first class act! Our wedding vows were beautiful and well scripted. He was the perfect choice for any wedding ceremony. He is kind and caring. His ability to put forth our history within the wedding vows made for a beautiful ceremony. All of our guests commented on how well he was able to personalize and tell our personal story. Thank you so much! We couldn’t have asked for a better Officiant!

Wow! Where do I begin and when should I stop?! Let me first start by saying that Reverend Brent made our ceremony what it was, which was absolutely BREATHTAKING! We had met with Reverend Brent on a few occasions and let me just say that he is such a great human being — the world needs more people like him in it! During our meetings, Reverend Brent was so full of joy and oozed happiness! He wanted to know our story from beginning to end and everything in between (within reason ;)). That being said, he DEFINITELY did his homework and it DEFINITELY showed during our ceremony. The picture he was able to paint for our guests with our story was nothing short of perfection! He has a natural ability to pull every emotion out of you and your guests — without a doubt, weather it be a laugh, a cry or just plain ol’ goosebumps! We can go on and on about how great Reverend Brent is, but don’t take our word for it, if you are in need of an officiant, do yourself a HUGE favor and set up a meet and greet with him, therefore, you will be able to witness the magic he creates for yourself! You will be so happy that you did!
We love you Reverend Brent Edwards, as you are now a friend for life!

Rev. Brent performed our ceremony on November 11, 2012, and we could not have been happier. He was very responsive, and flexible in meeting with us a couple of times to get to know us and review what we were looking for. He helped provide us with different options and worked with us to come up with a ceremony that was both personal and a combination of the different elements we were looking to add. After our wedding we received multiple comments from different guests about what a great ceremony and officiant we had. I highly recommend!

Reverend Brent is fantastic. John and I were married on 12÷01÷12 in Dana Point Ca. Reverend Brent was right on top of all things. He made wedding planning very easy. All of my friends and family were very happy with our ceremony. There were many personal touches that came together perfectly.
