Testimonials

"Ryan was amazing to work with from start to finish. He personalized the message perfectly for us and incorporated jokes to lighten the mood. We highly recommend Pastor Ryan!"
-Brooke C. 11/21/22
"Pastor Ryan did an AWESOME job with our wedding! Planning a wedding during a pandemic was not easy, but he was there every step of the way, even after we had to postpone our wedding the week-of due to new COVID mandates. We did a non-denominational ceremony, and Ryan provided so many helpful suggestions to guide us along the way, yet also let us totally customize our ceremony. He took time to get to know my husband and I, as well as play along with our goofy wedding party. It was the perfect day, and Ryan was a huge part of that experience!"
-Mackenzie C. 4/4/2021
"Pastor Ryan was absolutely wonderful to work with! Ryan was very flexible and we immensely appreciated all of the resources he provided so that we could all work together to create the wedding ceremony of our dreams. Our rehearsal was seamless with the prep and advice he offered leading up to it and our ceremony was so beautiful. We couldn't have done it without his expertise and help. Thank you so much to Pastor Ryan!"

our story

Premier Wedding Pastors KC was born when a local Kansas City pastor (Ryan Pelton) noticed two problems. One, typical wedding officiants didn't offer couples premier wedding ceremonies/services capturing their unique personalities and values. Ceremonies were often canned, rote, and lacked beauty and fun.Two, local churches/pastors typically weren't hospitable toward couples not part of their congregations. Ryan and his team of Wedding Pastors are committed to solving both of these problems.Premier Wedding Pastors KC is committed to crafting the wedding ceremony of your dreams. Beautiful and fun!

Our Founder
Ryan J. Pelton launched Premier Wedding Pastors KC in 2017. In the last six years alone, his team has performed 75+ wedding ceremonies, and 100+ hours of pre-marital/post-marital counseling. Ryan planted New City Church in the urban core of Kansas City in 2009, and has led this faith community ever since. Ryan is married to his high school sweetheart for almost 22 years, has four children, and a dog Milo. When not doing weddings, or hanging with the family, he can be found wandering the streets of KC in search of proper Mexican food.
