Outstanding

We couldn't have asked for a better person to have performed our marriage ceremony. Joe was kind, courteous and professional. He took an interest in us and our story and performed an absolutely perfect ceremony. We are so grateful and blessed that he was a part of our day.

Personalized Ceremony!

Joe was so amazing to work with! We had several other interviews with different officiants but Joe by far made us feel the most comfortable/confident. He made the experience so personalized to us. He sent us readings and a general template but we were able to customize everything to suit us! It was simple and personal and extremely special. Joe is a lovely, reliable officiant and I would definitely recommend to anyone who is considering hiring him!
