Open and Affirming!

Gulf Coast Wedding Minister

Hi, my name is Steve Horn and I am an ordained minister who has officiated over 200 weddings over the past 20 years, many of them Gulf Shores/Orange Beach area of the Alabama gulf coast.  I was ordained by the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in 1991.

I have B.A., M.A. (University of Alabama), M.Div (Lexington Theological Seminary) and D.Min (Graduate Theological Foundation) degrees and lots of experience!

I am fully authorized to officiate any wedding in Alabama or Northwest Florida.

I specialize in beautiful wedding ceremonies that have that "traditional" feel and can be either religious or non-religious in nature.  They are designed to remain true to the bride and groom's wishes without offending those in attendance who may have different religious faiths.

My ceremonies typically include the popular "Unity Candle", "Sand Ceremony" and other aspects of a traditional wedding that give special meaning and romance to the wedding. 

No matter the size or type of wedding you desire, I am happy to help!

May our hearts be open and filled with joy and peace as BRIDE and GROOM unite their hearts and minds with ours during this sacred moment.    May we remember and be grateful for the “longing for love” and the “capacity to love” one another, and may we give thanks for BRIDE and GROOM, for their beautiful hearts and willing spirits, and for the example of love that they embody here today.   May we remain aware of the Sacred and the Eternal, as we celebrate this moment.

And may we resolve to offer ourselves as true gifts to BRIDE and GROOM as they make their vows;  For as their witnesses, we seek to inspire, delight and empower BRIDE and GROOM on this most wonderful day.    

               OF COURSE, YOU ARE WELCOME TO WRITE YOUR OWN VOWS!

TWO FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

1.  How much do you charge?

Answer:  I ask for $100.00 for the ceremony and $150.00 if there is a rehearsal. 

(Most of the weddings I officiate do not need a rehearsal.)

No deposit is required.  You can wait untill the wedding to pay me.

Yes, I know I am the least expensive on the Gulf Coast. 

This is not how I make my living anymore.  I do it because I love it.

I am the Director of the Foley Public Library now, having retired from

congregational ministry.  You can reach me there any day. 

2.  Can you make the ceremony "minimally" religious so as to accommodate various

    religious/non-religious relatives?

Answer:  Yes.  The ceremony is about YOUR religious/non-religious beliefs, not mine.
