Charles made our wedding day the absolute best it could be. He went above and beyond what I could have asked for. He picked us up at our hotel to take us to the best spot for a wedding on the beach at sunrise. After the ceremony he took us to great locations for pictures in our area. He had a copy of our marriage license and a video emailed to us the next day. He even included a binder with what he said to us during the ceremony, as well as a certificate of our wedding. I could not be any happier or pleased with the service he provided. I highly recommend him!!

Charles is an amazing officiant... at my wedding the flowers were messed up, the cake was a wreck - but I didn't even care because my ceremony was SO beautiful. My guests said they have never been at such a personal and intimate ceremony and felt like Charles was part of our family. Thank you so much Mr. Gilbride - what you did for our wedding was priceless!!!! People especially loved the hands ceremony, the ring warming and the overall loving tone. I would recommend Charles to my best friends for their weddings. Thank you again!!

When the love of my life asked me to marry him I knew immeditately that I didn't want a big ceremony. I went on a search to find someone to marry us as soon as possible. To my great surprise I found Mr. Charles Gilbride. He is FANTASTIC, patient and very helpful. There was no question to silly to ask him, no such thing as too many phone calls, no request he was not able to accomadate us with. He made our special day as romantic and beautiful as I had it would be.

I am from Iowa and was kind of nervous about setting up my wedding with someone in Flordia. Charles was very responsive and helped us along the way. The Wedding was more beautiful than I ever imagined. He really made the wedding with his professionalism and charm. This was a wedding I will never forget. The photos turned out in great quality. I was very impressed. He helped us to pick a beautiful location. His local knowledge saved us alot of money in hotel rooms. We had 22 people at the wedding.

Charles Gilbride conducted a beautiful, moving ceremony. Both of our families were very moved and told us how much they loved the officiant. He made the ceremony both light-hearted and touching. He was also very helpful in helping us sort out the important details and in answering any and all questions we had before the big day. Although my new husband and I are very different people, his flexibility and understanding was superb for the both of us. For anyone considering a beach wedding in the South Florida area, Rev. Gilbride is the perfect officiant.

Mr. Gilbride was very knowledgeable and professional. He was quick to respond to every telephone and email message. His expertise and advice regarding transportation, dining, photography, and lodging was immeasurable. He even worked through the holiday season to ensure we received our pictures a day before Thanksgiving. Our family and friends are still raving about how beautiful the pictures turned out. Even though we eloped and left our entire family behind, it was truly intimate and a dream come true. Patrick & LaVon Williams

Mr. Gilbride was absolutely wonderful! He provided helpful information on where to stay for easy access to the beach. He aided us in getting our marriage license by mail and most of all he went beyond his duties by picking up a single long stem rose on our wedding day, as we had requested. Our beach wedding was everything we had dreamed it would be, and we owe it all to Mr. Charles Gilbride and to Maria,the photographer. Ginger and I cannot say "Thank You" enough!!....Harvey

I was very happy with Charles. He was very open to setting up times to meet with him. Took the time to meet with us and get to know us. Charles was very funny during the ceremony. He sent me the ceremony a week before my wedding day a and came in and went over the ceremony with me before the wedding started to make sure i knew what was going on.

Working with Charles, was the biggest pleasure imaginable, my husband and I met with him and both agreed he was the one, he had a great speaking voice, and a pleasant way about him making us feel so comfortable.
He came the day of the rehearsal and helped us all feel more comfortable, the day of the wedding he was there and was so efficient, and funny he made all the guests feel so warm, and also made them all laugh which eased the tension with me.
Working with him was amazing, and wouldn't change a thing.

Charles responded to my inquiry about a ceremony prior to leaving for our cruise almost immediately. He seemed to know exactly what we wanted and within minutes, I was totally at ease discussing our plans with him. He provided suggestions and helpful hints that enabled us to have the exact wedding we had envisioned. At the last minute, we made a few changes and he was extremely accomodating. Thank you Charles for a day we will always remember.

Reverend Gilbride was funny, professional, and highly flexible. We recommend him without reservation! He is especially good for international couples, as he is also a public notary. Pick him, and your wedding will go off without error!

Charles was very sweet and made our ceremony funny and emotional at the same time. Although we had very little time to spend getting to know him on the day of the wedding, he seemed like a really nice guy and performed a beautiful ceremony for us.
