Wedding Officiant

I'm so honored to write this review. Jack set the tone for our wedding and he did a beyond phenomenal job!!

We looked into several officiants, and my husband and I had a feeling about Jack. Especially after reading his reviews/website I felt we shared a very similar outlook.

We first started off with a Zoom call and immediately we loved his kind, warm, outgoing, funny personality. We could tell he not only was a professional and confident in what he does, but he is a great listener and treats each couple with personal/individual attention.

He offers premarital counseling; which I recommend taking advantage off! We met with him a few weeks before the wedding, and he spoke with us about what can support a long lasting marriage…inviting us into conversations that that my partner hadn’t touched on. This was incredibly valuable as we listened to each other and Jack, we got to see new perspectives. He has an incredible energy that makes you feel like you've been friends for years.

On the actual wedding day Jack couldn’t have been any more perfect. He has a way of putting you at ease. My husband and I felt extremely comfortable with him there supporting us at the altar. He takes great care in curating a personalized ceremony that was reflective of how we met, what makes our relationship work, our values, and the love for our friends and family. The ceremony was beautiful, at times funny, deeply moving, and captured very bit of my husband and I. Sharing our love story and drawing in each guest there. Everyone and I mean EVERYONE raved about Jack and they asked who he was because he spoke as if he knew us for years.
The ceremony was breathtaking and there wasn't a dry eye. I credit Jack to putting this all together, taking the time to get to know us, and creating an experience we’ll deeply treasure in our lives forever. After the wedding day, he sent us the script of our ceremony to have as a beautiful keepsake memory!!

Jack, we want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our day the best day ever and for calming our nerves. Thank you for being the best officiant!!! Heather & Tim

Jack is a Wonderful, Calming Presence

Our wedding day was perfect, even with a few hiccups. Jack was a calming presence as we waited for the photographer to show up (he was stuck in traffic and arrived 30 minutes late). He read the biographical information we sent over to him and incorporated it perfectly into the ceremony. I would highly recommend Jack as your wedding officiant!

Professional AND fun

Pastor Jack made our day both special and fun. He brought a professional yet cool vibe that felt so “us”. We wanted a pastor with light and levity so that it didn’t feel too religious or serious. Jack took the time to get to know us and share part of our story in a way that brought meaning and laughter. He’s the best.

Great Experience

Jack is attentive, professional, and calming during the hectic time that is before one’s wedding.
He helped us through the entire vow process and gave just the right amount of options to customize our ceremony wording.

Recommended!

Jack Hawkins - Made it possible

My now Wife and I decided to get married last minute and put the whole thing together in less than a week. Jack was very helpful in the steps needed and even gave us some quick homework that really helped us write our vows. Jack even offered us his own backyard to do our wedding (even though we ended up finding a venue)!! 5 stars all around and he made this day very special for us.

Worth Every Penny

The ceremony is really important, but sometimes people want to skip because let’s face it, it can be long and boring. With Jack that is absolutely not the case. From the get-go he made us feel so comfortable and at ease. We had a Zoom meeting with him before booking him and we instantly felt a connection. He recently moved from San Diego to Arizona and couldn’t make our rehearsal, but he jumped on another Zoom beforehand to make sure we felt confident with everything. Honestly he’s done hundreds and hundreds of weddings he really doesn’t need to be at the rehearsal and it will still go as smooth as butter. He was punctual and personable. He memorized our love story and blended his charming humor into the ceremony. Most ceremonies are only about 20-25 minutes, but we incorporated several Filipino cultural traditions and it ended up being 40 minutes. However, everyone said they were entertained the whole way through and it went by so fast. If you’re not religious, no worries. He speaks to love in a way that everyone can relate to. Hands down worth every penny.

Beautiful & Personable

On very short notice, Jack was available to accommodate our ceremony. In addition, Jack was very personable and incorporated our responses from our questionnaire to give our ceremony a more personalized experience. We highly recommend Jack!

He really gave us the ceremony we dreamt of!

I cannot even to explain how amazing Jack was! From the beginning to the end he was good at communicating with us. He was able to perfectly include our relationship history and how we got to our wedding day. You wont have to worry about having a plain boring ceremony, he really does an amazing job in keeping the guests attention. He was great! All our guests really loved the ceremony as much as my husband I did! I loved that the morning of the wedding he went to us individually to check up on us and asked if we needed anything. Thank you Jack for making our ceremony more than we ever thought it would be!!

Jack made our day!!

Jack is incredible at what he does. He did such a great job and honestly knocked our socks off! We had so many people tell us after that our ceremony was one of the best they have ever attended; personable, not too long, great message. Overall, we are so happy that we were able to have Jack as part of our special day. We would highly recommend him!

Jack is awesome!

Pastor Jack is incredible! His communication before our big day was great, and his instructions for what he needed from us were clear. He asked specific questions to myself and my wife, such as our story and what we like best about each other, among other things, that he incorporated into the ceremony to make it a lot more personal. He also adds a humorous touch to the ceremony, which makes it more fun and calms the nerves as well. A lot of our guests were commenting on what a great job he did.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
