You’ve found Pastor Ed Bruning
One of the challenges of planning a wedding is finding new and creative ways to make your celebration unique. An exciting venue, personalized décor or unique reception can make your truly special day an even more memorable. An outstanding ceremony is just as important! Whether “just for you” or keeping long-standing family or cultural traditions, most couples appreciate a well-planned ceremony. And most couples value a caring professional who helps them through the planning stages.
As an experienced wedding officiant in Las Vegas, I have helped hundreds of couples create an elegant, fun, comfortable wedding. We carefully blend meaningful traditions and creative expression. My number one goal is to assist couples in designing a custom ceremony that will meet and exceed expectations. I help couples keep energy and uniqueness in their event, and offer many fresh ideas that help ensure their wedding is unforgettable. If you have questions, please contact me by email, text or phone. If you would like to learn more about what I offer, I hope you will browse my website too.

Consider what I mean by a casually elegant wedding (summarized below, though you may prefer to examine this website in more detail using the menu printed in the left margin).
___________________________
Las Vegas is typically casual, with splashes of elegance scattered here and there. You had both in mind when you chose to have your wedding here. Casual because you want your wedding to be fun, personal, and relatively stress-free; elegant because of the significance of what you are doing (and because, too, all your choices, preparations, expense, and eventual memories deserve a wedding that is awe inspiring).
But there’s more. You’ll feel a casual familiarity between us from the moment we start working together. You’ll sense that we understand one another as though we’ve been distant yet long-time friends. You’ll appreciate the encouragement, assurance, and genuine care you’ll receive. And that “no pressure” feeling will carry into your wedding ceremony. Both you and your partner will enjoy the casual confidence of knowing that your special moment will happen naturally, beautifully.
Casual, yes, but elegant too. You’re here because you like Vegas: because you’ll have a good time, your guests will enjoy themselves, and you’ll be reminded of your wedding each time you come back. All good reasons to be here! But let’s face it. You’ve probably been teased by someone about being married in Las Vegas – getting “hitched” by Elvis at some drive-up-window “Chapel”. So let’s keep it fun without sacrificing the excellence, warmth, and wonder that such a life-changing moment inspires. That’s the elegant part. That’s the extra!
That’s what I provide: a casually elegant wedding. Something extraordinary! A wedding that is remarkably the way you’ve imagined yours should be.

A few other things you’ll find detailed in later pages of this website:
- I’ve been doing weddings throughout the Las Vegas area since 2003. I’ll come to wherever your wedding will be.
- The word “Officiant” means “the person legalizing your wedding”. We’re sometimes called the wedding: minister, pastor, celebrant, clergy, priest, rabbi, or Justice of the Peace.
- The title “Rev.” (Reverend) refers to one’s ordination, while the term “Pastor” refers to a Reverend who is currently employed as the professional minister of a church.
- I serve a local church full-time, hold regional office, and am an instructor for a nationally-prominent denomination. I was a successful businessman before entering the ministry.
- Couples requesting my services through this website are not being married in the church. No questions or demands! My only expectation is that we be respectful of one another.
- My personality is casually elegant; easy-going and easily humorous.
- Every part of your wedding will be designed with special consideration for you.
- You’ll be able to choose among a wide range of ideas and have as free a hand as you want – or be able to relax and have everything prepared for your approval.
- Choosing the person who will stand with you and your partner at the center of your ceremony is important. More than any other wedding professional – the officiant can, at the last minute, make or break a wedding.
- I’ll go the extra-mile for you; achieving the casually elegant result you can and should expect your Las Vegas wedding to be.

What Else Can You Expect
- You’ll receive a thorough planning guide and all the assistance you desire. I’ll suggest how you can blend meaningful traditions with creative ideas to fulfill your dreams. Everything that is important to you can be worked comfortably into your wedding.
- How long will the ceremony be? Long enough to be memorable and short enough that your feet won’t hurt. We’ll work out the length to suit your purposes, but generally expect 20-25 minutes. And I guarantee no one will be bored.
- I’ll take care of filing your marriage license. If the bride chooses to take her husband’s name, I’ll offer guidance for that as well.
- I’ll be available by phone, email, or in person every step of the way. You’ll enjoy working with me.
- Your guests will be impressed and speak favorably about your wedding – at your reception and for years to come.
