Yes. All of our ministers are officially ordained through a recognized 501(c)(3) non-profit, non-denominational church. Their ordination is fully lawful, and it grants them the legal authority to officiate marriage ceremonies under the protections of the First Amendment’s Religious Freedom Clause.

Each minister carries a hard-copy certificate of ordination and an official Minister ID.

They bring these credentials to every ceremony, and if you would like to verify them before your ceremony begins, you are more than welcome to request to see them.

We honor both faith-based principles and state legal requirements.

Our ministry operates under the religious freedom protections of the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which allow our church to ordain ministers and perform wedding ceremonies.
