We wanted a short, simple traditional ceremony, and Rev. York provided it for us at a very reasonable rate. Rev. York met with us, and within about 2 minutes we knew we wanted her doing the ceremony. Her friendliness, upbeat and cheerful personality, and attention to detail, made the decision easy.
On our wedding day, Rev York met with each of us, and ran through what we needed to do. Since it was a very low budget affair, we had no done a rehearsal..and Rev York was so very helpful before the event and day of, making sure we had everything right. We both feel she went well above and beyond what her fee is.
It didn't feel like an "officiant" was marrying us...Rev York made it feel like one of our closest friends was there.

Rev Gale did a great job. We really liked that she had several ceremony options to choose from(religious, traditional & contemporary) & we were able to combine the aspects that we liked about each of them to suit us perfectly. Rev. Gale was very helpful and was quick to answer any questions we had. Our ceremony was beautiful & I would definitely recommend her. Thank you Reverend Gale!

Gale and her husband came to my wedding all the way from Atlanta to Knoxville, TN. She is the most accommodating, organized, well-spoken officiant I have ever seen and I have been in 7 weddings in the last 4 years. She had amazing suggestions and examples. Coming from a technology background I found it very cool that I first met Gale through Skype and I knew she was the right person for our wedding right away.
Gale we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all your hard work and for doing an amazing job on one of the most memorable days of our lives.

Rev. Gale York was perfect for our wedding. She let us choose from many options to create our own ceremony with our own beliefs. Unfortunately we were not able to have a rehearsal together because of another booking, but she made sure she was there extra early on our wedding day to make sure everything was right. The other thing that stuck out to me was that she wanted to meet us in person and talk to us. It was nice to have someone care like she did.

Reverand York was a great officiant! We loved how open-minded she is, and didn't feel judged when we requested a non-religious ceremony. She stayed calm in all the chaos and was able to calm our nerves as well. I would recommend Reverend York to anyone!

Reverend York was such a pleasure to work with throughout the wedding process. She helped us create our ceremony based on what worked best for us. We met earlier on in the process to get to know eachother and make sure we were all a good fit and we were :) The wedding day was flawless and Reverend York made sure we knew what was going on throughout the entire ceremony. She was wonderful!

Reverend Gale was excellent. She was very professional in her speaking and tailored to our needs.
Also, from a groom perspective, she definately helped me feel calm as we waited 10 minutes before everything happened.
Very happy with the service we received and would totally recommend Gale to all of my friends.

Reverend York was everything we were looking for in an officiant. She let us create our own personal ceremony and helped with any questions along the way. Everything went so perfectly on our wedding day and we owe so much thanks to Rev York!

When my fiance and I got engaged, we realized neither of us had a "home church" in the Atlanta area. Neither of our parents or close relatives live here, either, so we were stumped on choosing an officiant. When we met Gale, I felt like I'd known her for years. She was warm, funny, maternal (a comfort to a bride away from her family), but also very professional. She spoke with us in detail about the ceremony choices she offered, and was willing to tweak the details to be sure that we got a ceremony meaningful to us. On our wedding day, guests complimented us several times on the sincerity and beauty of our ceremony. I was, admittedly, an emotional bride who boo-hooed her way through the entire thing! Gale was there with a calm, reassuring voice, gently reminding me to take a breath, and handing me tissues when necessary! This is the sort of service you (hopefully) only need once, but I will highly recommend her to other couples!

Reverend Gale York was a pleasure to work with. I met with another Reverend as well and after meeting with Rev. York we picked her that very moment. I felt a connection with her and she seemed very light and warm, not stuffy how some Reverends/Pastors can come across. She always emailed me back and answered any questions I had. She showed up on time, looked great and made us feel very comfortable. Everything went smoothly and beautiful, even without a rehearsal (we didn't have one because our ceremony was small & intimate, no wedding party). I don't think any couple wanting to get married can go wrong when chosing her.

Rev. Gale was not only helpful and accommodating, she was so friendly and down-to-Earth. We only saw her three times: meeting with her for the very first time, the rehearsal, and then the actual wedding, and all three times, it felt like we'd known her for years.
She is witty and kind - she looks you in the eyes when she is talking to you, and has a wonderful sense of humor. When I was nervous, she made sure to talk to me and calm me down, both before AND during the ceremony! She is so sweet and was such a pleasure to work with. She was extremely responsive in both emails and phone calls. We will miss her and hope everyone books her for their wedding!

Rev. Gale was wonderful! She was so accomodating and had lot's of wonderful suggestions for personalizing our ceremony. We met with her several times via phone and she couldn't have been nicer. We planned our wedding in a very small amount of time and didn't make our final wishes for the ceremony known until a few days before the wedding. Rev. Gale was so kind about the last minute changes and didn't miss a beat during the ceremony. We would highly recommend Rev. Gale!!

Reverend York arrived early and went over what would happen during wedding. She even wentout of her way to make sure there was a phone on connected to my mother who could not make it but could hear it over the phone. She suggested that she take group pictures with my camera after so that everyone who was there could be in it. All in all I would say she was worth having there.

Reverend Gale M. York was the perfect person to officiate our wedding on 09/18/10 at Lake Lanier Islands Resort. We could not have been happier with her services! We booked Rev. York during our first meeting with her, we knew within the first five minutes she was the person we wanted to marry us. She worked with us closely and offered us guidance to choose the perfect ceremony that worked for us. She also introduced us to the "wine ceremony" which we did (in lieu of a candle lighting or sand ceremony) and were really happy with how it turned out. A lot of guests commented on how unique and wonderful it was! I highly recommend Rev. Gale York for your wedding officiate!!

We were thrilled with Reverend Gale. Not only was she very enthusiastic about our wedding, she also allowed us to customize our ceremony. The result was a beautiful and very personal event and we are still receiving compliments. I would highly recommend Rev. Gale; she will work with you to create a ceremony perfect for you!

We couldn't have asked anyone better to officiate our wedding. Rev Gale even coordinated our wedding at the last hour! Everyone was still running around and getting ready. We didn't have time to rehearse and discuss the walks with any of the wedding party. Rev Gale went after everyone and to let them know how the wedding is going to work out and where to walk and with whom. She was very professional, calm, and collected despite issues that we had. It was coordinated beautifully. I didn't know what was going on until I walked down the aisle. Rev Gale had already worked it out with everyone. She kept us calm and was very helpful. I don't know how our wedding would have turned out without Rev Gale! Thank you again!
