in Florida-West Coast

Hi everyone!  (p.s. I love this forum)  :)  I'm working on coordinating our wedding at the Beach House in Bradenton Beach.  We are looking for something intimate, low key and non-denominational (a notary would be fine).  We just want someone to stand at the front, speaks clear and fits our budget.  Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!  ($300 or less)  TIA!!

    We are using Rev Charles Shook and his fee is $175.  He is non demonitational and will do pretty much what ever you want (sand ceremony too)

    FYI he is like a grandfather - we met him at his on on AMI and he was such a sweet man.  I know this may sound weird but since he is up there in age, we asked if he had a stand in just in case, which he does.  Apparantly he had been sick end of last year so we just wanted our bases covered!

    We used Rev. Georgeann Butler. She was absolutely fabulous- very easy to work with, very professional, and just generally a pleasant lady : )

    I'm using Georgeann Butler for my wedding (tomorrow!!!).  So far, she has been excellent and I see no reason at this point why the ceremony won't be as beautiful as she has promised :-)

    Thanks for the replies!  I have two new questions: 

    Regarding Rev Shook and Rev Georgeann for a beach wedding (potentially windy) would you say they are good at projecting their voice?  (It's only 20 guests, but outdoor voices need to be strong in general). 

    And second question, has anyone used or booked Christina Mathews, Weddings by Christina (she is available on my date).  And same question, if yes, how's her "outdoor voice"? 

    Thanks everyone - you guys are a HUGE help. 

    Oh and petdoc2010 - Congrats!!  Would love to read your vendor reviews.  :D

    p.s. Just put our deposit for the Beach House!!!  It's official now.  :-D
