San Diego Wedding Pastor: 2009

Dear Pastor Evan,

We are so grateful for everything you did to make our wedding such a beautiful & wonderful experience :) ! Thank you very much for making an extra effort to get to know us (via Skype since we live out-of-state!) - you helped us create a very special, personal, meaningful, God-honoring ceremony, and we also appreciated the time you took to ensure that our marriage would be starting off right (we enjoyed those Prepare-Enrich sessions with you :) - they were fun!). Your kindness & reliability helped everything go smoothly, and you were able to incorporate the "surprises" we wanted to add without a flaw! We have such cherished memories when we think of our wedding - thank you for being such a blessing to us!!!

With sincere thanks, Jeff & Kris :)stor Evan, Chrissy and I just wanted to say thank you for doing our wedding. You have already impacted our marriage in a very tremendous way. It is a true blessing for us to have you as our pastor.

Michael and Chrissy Schafer

Our wedding was the most important day of our lives, and we are so happy you were there to share it with us! We couldn’t have picked a better pastor! We can’t thank you enough for EVERYTHING you did to make this wedding the way we wanted it to be. We felt extremely comfortable with you from the beginning. We appreciate that you listened to us and helped us create a marital foundation. We have received so many compliments about our ceremony on how beautiful and memorable it was. It was everything we wanted it to be and more and we are truly blessed.

Adam and Melissa Jungk

Well, we are back from our honeymoon and just settling back into the grind, and the very first thing on my list was to get a big THANK YOU to you! We honestly could not have asked for a more beautiful, God centered ceremony. You really made our special day so much more special and we heard nothing but praises about you all night. Thank you for spending so much of your time getting to know us and tailoring our ceremony so much to US!

Again, Evan, thank you so much for everything over the past couple of months.

Love,

Mr. and Mrs. Garland :)

Welcome to my wedding pastor site! I know that planning for this big day can be stressful with a zillion things to plan. I would love to help you plan all the details for the ceremony. I have performed hundreds of weddings here in California, San Diego and Mexico. I have over 25 years of ministry experience and love helping couples through this process. I use the Prepare/Enrich counseling materials that will give you a good evaluation of your relationship before you get married. This is a 165 question survey that covers 11 key areas of relationships. During the counseling sessions, we'll also plan your wedding ceremony to make it personal. I look forward to meeting you and helping you plan your special ceremony.

Please feel free to scroll through this site to look at pictures from some of the many weddings I have performed. There are some quotes from couples, as well as more pictures if you'd like to click on wedding titles on the right.

Catamaran Wedding, Mission Beach

These Hawaiian themed weddings are my favorite, especially when I get to wear my flip-flops with the suit! Th

at's me on the left.

Coronado Church Wedding

Even though I love the outdoor Hawaiian themed weddings, it's also fun to do big fancy church weddings too. Neil and Val got married on a hot

summer day

in 2008.

Point Loma Military Base Wedding

I've done a bunch of weddings at the tip of Point Loma on the military base. It's always great to do weddings with the ocean right in the background. Here is a quote from Brooks and Jana regarding their wedding: "Evan was a true professional, and made the day really special. He got to know us better through the course of the counseling he provided (which was interesting and insightful) and used that knowledge to make the ceremony personalized with just the right a

mount of lighthearted wit and sentimentality."

Kate Sessions Park Wedding

Michael and Kristin's wedding at the park was very memorable. We got a late start, but thanks to the live Bluegrass music, most of the tension was set at ease.

Mission Bay Wedding

This was one of those fun outdoor summer weddings right on the bay. Gotta love that Hawaiian theme!

Mark and Shellie met at our church and got married in Mexico. My kids had a blast swimming in the pool at the hotel for this wedding.

Hotel Del Wedding

The Laube's got married right at the world famous Hotel Del in Coronado in January on a 80 degree day. Their friends from the East Coast roasted in their heavy winter clothes not expecting one of our not-untypical warm weather days in January in San Diego.

This couple got married at George's at the Cove. This photo was taken at the reception the night before.

La Jolla Wedding

This couple got married in Coronado, right near the water. Their evening reception was great with the lights of San Diego showing across the bay.

This Swedish couple were in San Diego for about 6 months studying at UCSD. I got to perform their wedding at the Catamaran in Mission Beach.

This was a great summer wedding right on Mission Bay at the Hilton.

Mexico Wedding

Mexico weddings are always a great adventure. Liz and Fernando let me wear one of my favorite Hawaiian shirts too!

La Jolla Wedding

Mission Beach Wedding

Tim and Monica got married at the ZLAC rowing club. What a great picture of their extended family.

Classic Church Wedding

This was one of the first weddings I did in Pacific Beach 11 years ago. Joe and Beth got married at Pacific Beach Presbyterian Church and now have three kids.

Mexico Wedding

Dan and Wendy got married in Mexico, but I also got to baptize them here in Pacific Beach.

La Mesa Wedding

This couple is from La Mesa and I did their wedding at the Admiral Baker Resort in Mission Valley.

Beach Wedding

I got to do this wedding for this couple right at my home beach, Pacific Beach, right next the the pier.

Downtown San Diego Wedding

This was a great wedding with a military theme.

Cabo Wedding

Oh how I wish every couple got married in Cabo San Lucas and flew my wife and I down to perform the wedding! This was a very fun weekend in Cabo with the Boyd's.

Point Loma Wedding

This was a fun wedding for the Rubio family on a hot August day at the women's club in Point Loma. Lots of good food and good dancing!
