John is fantastic! Very flexible and accommodating. He really listened to what we wanted in a ceremony. He is professional in appearance and behavior. Dependable and prompt. Excellent communication. Best of all, John is kind, caring and seems to truly love life. What more could you ask for on your wedding day. Thank you, John!!

The absolute best!!!

Working with John was a dream, very seamless and no headaches at all. He's easygoing, calming, and has an amazing speaking presence! So many people came up to my husband and I throughout our wedding raving about how awesome John and his remarks were. He really takes the time to get to know you and your love story, and I can't recommend him enough!

John is Amazing!

John performed our ceremony in our backyard in front of a small group of friends and family. It was magical and much of it was because of him. He set up a call with us prior to the event to learn more about my husband and I. Then he customized the ceremony with some of what he learned about us. It was personal and really lovely. The best compliment I can give is I hope we see John again. He became a fast friend through this process and we feel lucky to have found him!
