Rev Bear was awesome! We had a small family only wedding down at Lost Creek. Rev Bear actually met us at the court house to sign our marriage certificate first and then met us down at the waterfall to say our vows and ordain our wedding. He was even funny and got us genuinely laughing for the photographer at one point before we started our vows. He was incredibly sweet to our kids and he connected with my now husband who is also a veteran. 10 out of 10 I recommend! Definitely book him!

Bear did a wonderful job answering questions, explained and walked us thru each step, showed on time, did everything as promised, and was very personable. Will point anyone wanting to get married in his direction, looking forward to having him as our officiate in our bigger wedding in a year and half.

Bear was an absolutely amazing minister to have officiate our private wedding. He brought wisdom, humor, and reassurance we didn’t even know we needed on our special day and he is a friend to our family for life. I 100% recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant. He goes above and beyond for his couples.

Getting married can be a very stressful time. Worrying about all the work that goes into it and the paperwork that has to be done. Stress over if your doing everything right. Bear Vinson is going to make sure to take that stress right away. He goes well above and beyond to make sure that your day no matter how big or small goes as smoothly as possible. He will talk to you and calm your worries. He will help you with all your paperwork and make sure everything is done. He is one of the most amazing people my husband and I have met. We had our minds and worries put at ease in just seconds. He is very easy to talk to, down to earth and never makes you feel uncomfortable or uneasy. I now understand why he is so highly recommended. If you need someone to marry you and help you with the process he is your guy. No worry, no stress, no price gouging, just HELP and LOVE. I can honestly say he is now a part of the family and we are so blessed to know him and get to be a part of the wonderful things he is doing in this world. Thank you bear you are the absolute best. Love always David & Heather Nash

Highly recommend him. My marriage was not your average situation when getting married, but Bear has been very helpful and informative as we went through the process and I couldn’t have asked for someone better to help me and my husband throughout the process! With a busy work life, I would not have been able to get everything arranged and done if it wouldn’t have been for his flexibility and the price was very reasonable as well! You will not be disappointed in his services!

Bear just officiated our wedding, and he was amazing! He was super nice and helpful throughout the whole process. He answered any questions we seemed to have at anytime we needed him. He felt like family at the wedding bouncing around talking to our parents and friends as we were finishing up getting ready. He made a fun but stressful day, a lot easier and memorable. We could not recommend him enough.

Definitely recommend for your special day. Had to change plans a few times to accommodate for all family. Bear went above and beyond to make our day special. He was patient and very understanding. Our ceremony turned out even better than I expected. Bear took beautiful pics to capture our special moments. Highly recommend ❤️❤️❤️

Reverend Bear Vinson officiated our wedding ceremony. He's a good man of God and worked with and communicated with us every step of the way! It was a beautiful, small service with mostly family and close family friends. If you are looking for someone reliable, you'll find nobody better. I'm grateful for everything he did for us on our special day!

This was an absolutely amazing experience! Bear came on short notice and performed a beautiful ceremony at our private residence. He took photos and even went and got our marriage certificate for us, delivering it directly into our hands. I would definitely recommend him to anyone! His price is also definitely good for a budget. He was also very professional and friendly! We made a lifelong friend. 😁
