The rain today for Eric and Denise’s wedding didn’t dim anyone’s spirits or take away from how beautiful SkyView Golf Club is, whether the ceremony is indoor or outdoor.

2021 was a busy year for us! Patrick and I performed over 70 weddings collectively, some of which were rescheduled weddings from 2020 or vow renewal ceremonies for couples that had a small intimate wedding during 2020.

We are so honored to be recognized, for the seventh year in a row, as 2022 Couples' Choice Award winners! 🎉 Thank you so much to all of the couples that took the time to leave us an amazing review! 🙏 We would not have won this award without you! Here's to another year of beautiful couples, heartfelt ceremonies, and true love! 👰🤵❤️ 👰👰 ❤️🤵🤵

Once again Rev. Patrick and I have been given the honor of receiving the Couples' Choice Award from Wedding Wire. We received this prestigious award thanks to the wonderful reviews that our couples left for us during this past year. 2020 was not the best year for many of our couples as they had to cancel and reschedule their weddings due to Covid-19. Luckily we were still able to do many mini ceremonies, or "mini-monies" as one couple coined, and were able to reschedule all weddings to 2021.

Thank you to all who left us the reviews that got us this award. Rev. Patrick and I are so grateful to you all and we are looking forward to another year filled with happy memories as we join so many beautiful couples in marriage!
