Your daughter who lives in tn plans to be married in South Carolina in June she wants your father who lives in Ohio to perform the ceremony he is not an ordained minister what must he do?

Marriages are made legal by a marriage license that is issued by the state, not by the church. The law does not stipulate that wedding ceremonies must be performed by an ordained minister. Since the US enjoys freedom of religion, you are free to use any religious or non-religious marriage ceremony you like. Your father can perform a ceremony without being an ordained minister.

If one is an ordained deacon then becomes a minister do you have do be ordained again as a minister?

Deacon and minister are just titles within a church. Once you are ordained you technically hold all of these titles and can perform all of the duties, but can specialize in one at a time, often your church will appoint you to such positions sometimes in a hierarchy. This is really a question for your church on how they treat such titles, but I don't know of any religion that doesn't consider being ordained for life.

Can a Lutheran pastor perform a wedding ceremony outside of a church?

As for ELCA (Evangelical Lutheran Church in America) pastors, yes, they can perform wedding ceremonies outside of the church building. They cannot perform ceremonies outside of the church without God being present in the ceremony, but the location is not a problem. Pastors of the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod (LCMS) and of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS) can also perform wedding ceremonies outside of church buildings since people, and not buildings, are what make up the Church. However, they will not perform weddings in church buildings of denominations different from their own. Also, WELS pastors should not officiate at weddings in which they would share officiating duties with clergy from other denominations and faiths. Most LCMS pastors will decide dual faith/denomination ceremonies on an individual basis.
