Your wedding day is a reflection
of your love story.

Meet Pastor Zach Bauer

As a non-denominational minister serving Sioux Falls and the surrounding areas, I'm dedicated to crafting ceremonies that truly resonate with you. Whether you envision a classic, intimate, or entirely unique celebration, I'll work closely with you to create a ceremony that perfectly captures your love story. With over two decades of experience, I've had the privilege of uniting countless couples.

Let's make your special day unforgettable.

Your wedding day should be filled with joy, not stress.

Imagine a wedding day where your only worry is saying "I do." I'll take care of the details, allowing you to focus on creating unforgettable memories with your loved ones.

My expertise is to get to know the two of you well, and to write a ceremony that tells your love story in the way that truly fits your style. At the end of the day you will say to yourselves, "That is exactly what we wanted to experience, and actually even more than we could have imagined."
