23 years in business
Greetings, My name is Rev. Marvin Washington, and I am a twice Ordained Pastor with over 25 years of experience in Wedding Officiating and Vow Renewal. Throughout my career, I have officiated over 325 weddings and had the privilege of working with many couples that have honed my expertise in officiating.
I truly believe that the wedding ceremony should be about the couple. It shows the guest how much love the couple has for each other.
Many of the weddings that I have officiated, the couples have come from different faith and/or cultural traditions. My hope is to create an “experience that makes a lasting impression on everyone in attendance.”
I have also officiated over 200 Memorial/Celebration of Life/Homegoing Services. Losing a loved one is an emotionally challenging time, and it can certainly be overwhelming. My aim/goal is to provide comfort and solace to grieving friends and family members.
I am also a Notary Republic!

This is the perfect pairing: I have 20 years of event planning experience and prepare ahead of time to ensure that my clients can focus on their wedding day.
