Christian Light Ministries

We loved working with Pastor Gary! He was great to work with.

We couldn't be happier with the way our ceremony went. It was organized, formal yet laid-back, and just beautiful overall.

Wonderful service and extremely helpful. Could not be happier!

We had no idea what to do or what to expect. We met with Pastor Gary and WOW!! So much information and ideas were given to us. We had no clue planning a wedding ceremony was going to have so many choices. From the programs, to music, they have it all!!After we left meeting with Pastor Gary, a sense of relief came over us. On our wedding day, he gave my mom a tissue cause she forgot to grab one. The ceremony was perfect!! Jennifer, is a HUGE asset with assisting in keeping the girls calm and helping with getting us down the aisle.I highly, recommend them to anyone looking for an officiant to officiate their wedding. Our family is still talking about how awesome Pastor Gary and his staff were!! Thanks for everything!

Great people and very accomodating to what you want. I loved my programs they created and the music selections they had. Our pastor had a great sense of humor. We would suggest them to everyone.

Pastor Gary Dierolf was fantastic. He is very enthusiastic, realistic, and devoted to enabling couples to have a personalized ceremony. He and his assistant also provided our ceremony music for our outdoor venue. he had plenty of music to select from, and it sounded great.thankyou so much, Lindsey and Daniel Schiller

Very professional. Ceremony was perfect.

Everything was fabulous :)Thanks so much for making our special day wonderful!

Pastor Gary and Jennifer Dieroff at Christian Light Ministries were amazing, helpful, friendly, flexible, the list could go on forever! They provided the music, unity candle, program, flowers for our mothers. The cost was inexpensive. We feel blessed having had Pastor Gary be the officiant for our Wedding. Thanks, Pastor Gary!!!!!

Christian light ministries was wonderful. Pastor Gary answered any and all questions that we had and he never made us feel like something had to be done. There were always lots of choices. I would tell anyone looking for a church,officiant to go to pastor gary !

Pastor Gary and his team were great! He taylored our service around what we wanted and I have gotten so many compliments on our service. They were great!

Christian Light Ministries was very helpful thoughout my wedding process. The service was beautifully laid out and the music matched my feelings for the day. I would recommend their services to anyone. Very professional.

Chad and I enjoyed working with Pastor Gary. He is very personable and friendly. I couldn't have asked for anything else working with Christian Light Ministries!

I had a last minute drop out for my officiant, so I found Christain Light Minsitries on the Berkscountyweddings.com website 2 weeks before my wedding! They were amazing, so organized. We met with them once to pick out the music and exchange some info. Then the wedding day, they took care of the whole ceremony. Pastor Chris and Jennifer were so helpful, it just released so much stress and planning I didn't want to have to worry about. Outside wedding, and the music was definately loud enough for the 100 guests ceremony.

Good job. Knew what was going on and what was supposed to happen. Very pleased.

My husband and I really enjoyed our dealings with Christian Light Ministries. Our wedding date was May 23, 2010, at Meredith Manor. Our minister was full of fun, he was calm, and very patient. He took his time to explain every step along the way, while cracking a few jokes. Our programs were beautiful, and some great ideas from the pastor, helped to make our ceremony a more memorable one.

My husband and I are not very religious so when we were searching for an officiant it was important to us to find someone that didnt have a cookie cutter ceremony- Pastor Gary seemed very flexible in the beginning and worked with us while we went over our vows and what we were looking for in the ceremony- Unfortunatly we may have had our wedding in one of there busier times so we didnt end up having as wonderful of an experience as we thought we would. For our rehearsal at Meredith Manor we were told by Pastor Garys assistant that he had 2 rehearsals before ours and wouldnt be able to make it- she had never done a rehearsal before and you could tell she was extremley uncomfortable with having it thrown on her at the last minute - we had people coming in for the rehearsal from NC, and DC so rescheduling wasnt an option not that they offered it to us - Pastor Gary did end up showing up right before we started but he rushed through and we were only there for approx 10 mins - he did not go through our vows that we had prepared and seemed like he was in a hurry to rush off to his next couple - On our actual wedding day Pastor Gary did not use our vows that we had worked so hard on and instead used some religious vows that I had never heard before - i was such in shock that i didnt know what to do and just repeated them back - afterwards i cried because all the work i put into our vows was for nothing - and i wasnt able to personalize it - when I asked Pastor Gary about it he told me that he was in a hurry and since it had started to rain he wanted to get the service in - however our vows werent that long so it didnt make sense to me - he ended up telling my husband that he just forgot we had our own vows - I believe that they honestly are overbooked and need to slow down with all the couples they decide to take on or maybe expand there services and take on another pastor to help out - before our wedding pastor gary had 2 other services he performed at - All in all i highly recommend Pastor Gary but i believe that they have a few things to work on- they need to limit the amount of couples they take on for each day in order to not mess up on someones wedding ceremony.
