Officiants & Ministers in Renton, Washington

Experienced, professional wedding official for hire. Non-denominational weddings. Location of your choice. Inexpensive, low cost. My ceremony or I will work with you to create one of your own.

I LOVE weddings, and I love to help people come together in such an intimate, sacred ritual. I personally have been married for 20 years, and I have come to realize there truly is no greater thing than LOVE. I have performed many ceremonies from ultra casual to formal, from park to conference center. I am adaptable in any style your wedding desires take us.

I am an ordained Pastor of the Christian Church and Churches of Christ for the last 41 years. I have been a military chaplain for 24 years and retired from Army in 2007. Presently the pastor of Lakewood Christian Church, a small church in Lakewood, Wa. All through my ministry, I have been providing pre-marriage counseling and weddings. Weddings are very special and I want to make it a very special, joyful and memorable day for the couple. To do that I want to sit with you and plan out the whole service, write the marriage vows for you or help you with writing one for you in your own words. It could be a short service or one with message.

I have been in the wedding industry since 1999. I have seen too many amazing people go into debt planning their wedding. Hiring me as your officiant will save you money. You will receive the same service as you would if you hired someone that cost you hundreds of dollars without spending hundreds of dollars. $80.00 for military, fire fighters or police officers anytime, any day. If within 30 miles no mileage charge. $100.00 for civilians. Any day, any time. If within 30 miles, no mileage charge.

Congratulations! I am so excited for you both. My name is Rev. Lori Erwin-Johnson and I am an open and affirming wedding officiant who supports love in all its forms in the Spanaway-Tacoma, WA area.
