Sharene and Cody kicked off our 2024 wedding season by choosing a unique, classic, and intimate venue for their ceremony. The Marble Room in downtown Cleveland is a fabulous restaurant in the old Guardian Savings and Trust Bank building. A few years ago, it was converted into one of the best places to eat in Cleveland. In the basement, they fully restored the old bank vault and turned it into a spectacular private dining venue. It was just the vibe that Sharene and Cody were looking for. It is a lot easier to say “for richer, for poorer” when you are standing next to a bank vault. All the best to Sharene and Cody!

Carissa & Nick had a beautiful wedding at The Lake Club of Ohio. 💍 Cassie was escorted down the majestic staircase to meet Nick at an outdoor chapel on the shore of Lake Evan. It was a perfect Fall day. 🙌 🍂 Cassie commented later, “Scott officiated our wedding, and he was amazing from start to finish! He was very responsive when setting up meetings and he was always prompt. I would absolutely recommend the Wedding Chaplain!” Thank you, Cassie. All the best to you both in 2024 and beyond! 🎉

Eddie and Alyssa spend most of their time helping others with their careers in healthcare. They certainly deserve a day to celebrate and focus on them. 🙌 They met literally crossing the street together. They lived in the same building and did not realize it. When Eddie proposed, he set up a fake restaurant around Valentine’s Day in 2021. It was during Covid-19, so everything was still closed. He hired servers, a chef, and photographers. It's a pretty cool story. 💙 They chose Rivercrest Farm for their ceremony and reception. 💍 They have a beautiful stone stairway leading to a gorgeous outdoor timber arbor chapel area. The reception area is breathtaking as well. Congrats to Eddie and Alysa. 🎉 Photos courtesy of Natalie Dawn Photo LLC. 📸

In September, I was privileged to be a part of the Heinz Memorial Chapel Simply Styled Wedding Event. 💍 Every year, Heinz Chapel on the Pitt University campus creates an effortless, all-inclusive mini-wedding package for those who want to get married in style without the hours of planning and a big budget. 🙌 At this year's event, I officiated four ceremonies back to back. It was lots of fun and a little exhausting. But I am already looking forward to next year’s event. 🎉

Taylor and Marshall had a beautiful September ceremony at Thunderhead Pines. 🍂 💍 This was my first time at this venue, and I was genuinely impressed. 🙌 Just a classic setting. They exchanged vows and participated in a Wine Box Ceremony as well. One of the most unique things they did was their wedding favors. Over the past year, they bought and collected random coffee/ tea mugs. Sports teams, sayings, holiday mugs, you name it. ☕️ At the cocktail hour, they had a shelf displaying the mugs, and you could choose a gourmet coffee or tea to put in. That was the party favor. Everyone got a mug. It is a very thoughtful touch on a beautiful day. Well done, Taylor and Marshall. 👏 🎉

Most pastors, especially coming out of the pandemic, are trying to find ways to engage their culture and reach young families. What if there was a way for pastors and churches to get in front of young couples and engage them regularly? What if young couples were actively looking for pastors? The answer is weddings. 💍

I'd like to invite you to check out my latest book, "Before God and These Witnesses: How to Start a Marriage Ministry to Grow Your Church, Reach Your Community, and Change the Culture While You Are at It" on Amazon!

The latest episode of the Wedding Chaplain podcast is available. The wedding is a mountain top experience. How do you navigate the days and the emotions leading up to it and the days after the wedding?

No guest today. I take some time to talk about the feelings and emotions of the wedding weekend. Weddings are mountain-top events, meaning a climb up and a coming off-the-mountain experience. The climb up is stressful and exciting. The descending is full of decompression relief and can sometimes be....

Marissa and Jason recently marked an important milestone in their journey at The Chadwick. 💍 After meeting at the Rivers Casino in Pittsburgh, they rolled the dice, took a chance, and won. 💙 Congrats to the new Mr. & Mrs. Kelly! 🎉

The Pittsburgh Couple. 💍 If you grew up in the South Hills, met at Cal U, and had your first date on Carson Street in the Southside… where should you have your wedding? At The Pennsylvanian, in the heart of downtown Pittsburgh on Liberty Avenue! 🙌 Richelle and Camden had to have the city as a backdrop to their big day. It was a beautiful ceremony under the domed rotunda that used to be Pittsburgh’s Union Station. They exchanged vows and included a handfasting ceremony to officially tie the knot. All the best to the new Mr. & Mrs. Hay. 🎉

I am so passionate about weddings and working with engaged couples. 💍

'Before God and These Witnesses' deals with the practical evangelism opportunities in today's wedding industry. I want to call pastors and churches back into a world that the church used to be known for. 🙌

Congratulations to John and Lori on their wedding this summer. 🎉 🌤 They chose Shale Creek Golf Club in Medina for their ceremony. 🌳🏌️‍♂️ It was a beautiful celebration of friends and family. Lori even surprised John with a bagpipe recessional at the end of the ceremony. Harrison Ford once said, “We all have big changes in our lives that are more or less a second chance.” John and Lori have found someone worth that second chance. 💙💍 All the best to John and Lori Moran.

Megan and Patrick wanted an outdoor ceremony that included and honored their family. 💍 They chose the Gleneagles Golf Club & Events - Twinsburg, OH, and made the ceremony special by including their Aunt and Uncle, each bringing a reading. 💙 It was a gorgeous day with perfect weather.

Young people typically leave the church after high school; they only return for weddings. 💍 Ironically, the church desperately tries to connect with the 18-30 demographic. The church bemoans the change in culture and, at the same time, struggles with practical ways to reach this culture. 🤔

09/06/2023

I had the honor of officiating the wedding of my son Dawson and his fiance' Abby, this summer. I could not be more happy and proud of them. They moved from Oklahoma to Kentucky just a few weeks after the wedding, so their new adventure is already beginning. The name Dawson means David's son. The name Abby means the joy of the father. Happiness, pride, and joy were all appropriate words for the day.

Maria and Gino chose the beautiful Twelve Oaks Mansion in Mars, PA for their ceremony. 💍 It was a perfect day for a wonderful couple. Afterwards Maria posted in her review, “We are so happy with our wedding ceremony and it wouldn't have been possible without Scott. He was so kind and helpful throughout the entire wedding planning process. We trusted him from the beginning and he had our entire ceremony scripted exactly as we wanted it to be. The day of the wedding went so smoothly and we got so many compliments on Scott's officiating.” Congratulations to the new Mr. & Mrs. Piccirilli. 🎉

For nearly thirty years, I have been a wedding minister and have officiated at over 1,200 wedding ceremonies. Through leading a company called WeddingChaplain.com, a passion has grown within me to write a book on wedding/marriage ministry and its connection to church health & evangelism. The book’s working title is: Before God and These Witnesses with a subtitle “How to Grow Your Church, Reach Your Community and Change the Culture While You Are at it.” The goal is to teach pastors and churches how to start or grow a marriage ministry within their church to revitalize their church, and to leave a lasting impact in their community. Simply put, weddings are a mission field, a church planter’s dream, and an amazing way to revitalize a dying church. Through my personal and ministerial journey, it has become clear that my lifetime experiences and insight into relationships have helped give me an understanding of what young couples are looking for today. This insight needs to be shared with a wider audience. I am working with a company called Sermon to Book, led by Caleb Breakey. They are professionals who help pastors bring their publishing projects to life. I have fully vetted this company and have confidence in their ability to help me write, market, and distribute this book. The book will be self-published which means I will own 100 percent of the rights. In addition, there is an opportunity that the book could be picked up by a publishing company once a final manuscript is in hand. The goal is to raise $12K to launch the book. Obviously, the more I raise, the more I can invest in marketing, promotion, and distribution. As with everything in my life, I will trust the Lord with this project. Please join me in this adventure. My crowdfunding campaign partner is Fundly. They have the flexibility and specific tools to get things off the ground. At the beginning of this story, I invited you to be a part of this project. Here is your chance. Any amount helps eve
