Patrick H. Married on 09/05/2021Great officiant, super pleasant to work with!
Rev. Joan was so pleasant to work with! She helped craft the perfect ceremony for US and went above and beyond in assisting with the marriage license filing process and turned it in for us after the ceremony. We received so many compliments from the guests about how well the ceremony was conducted. Afterwards, we received a printed and binded program of our ceremony. Highly recommend her services!

Caroline P. Married on 08/29/202110/10 for Joan - Couldn't Recommend Her Enough!
Rev. Joan is a no-brainer when it comes to choosing your Officiant! We interviewed 7 potential officiants in a day, and knew she was the right choice as soon as our meeting ended. Joan was extremely helpful throughout the year leading up to our wedding; from helping us choose the perfect ceremony flow, to sharing helpful links and resources to apply for and receive our marriage certificate. If you haven't found an officiant yet, look no further. Joan is the best and more than we could have asked for.
