Phenomenal Officiant!

Joe was such a fantastic officiant for our wedding on 11/1/2025. He was incredibly invested in our story and making the ceremony as personal as possible for us.

He met with us twice via Zoom and we had the fortunate opportunity to meet with him in person prior to our big day. He’s enigmatic and compassionate, has a wonderful sense of humor, and was a pleasure to work with. He took the time to hear about our entire journey, suggested readings, and found us a lovely hand-fasting ceremony.

He was extremely prompt in his replies and very reasonably priced.

I would highly recommend him again and again!

exactly what we needed

Joe was a great wedding Officiant. He was easy to secure, was reassuring and friendly leading up to our wedding, arrived on time, and was able to present my wife and I well with a couple of unique ceremony readings and rituals that were out of the norm.

After the wedding he also handled a mistake we made of underpaying him with grace! We quickly got what he deserved to him after he politely mentioned there may have been a mistake!

He also used tracking mail to deliver our license to the town hall and when the notification still said in transit he called the clerk to confirm they actually got it. He was willing to go to the post office track it down, and hand deliver it in person if he had too.

Definately an Officiant you want on your side

Warm, pleasant, respectful, fun!

Joe is great. He's a people person. You know from the first time you speak with him that he cares, and even more exceptional, he does what he does because he thrives on being around people that are in love. From day 1, Joe was professional, but warm and fun. His follow-up is perfect. 100% reccommend.

Wonderful Officiant!!

Joe was a great officiant who helped make our wedding ceremony really special. He worked with us every step of the way right from the beginning. During the course of an entire year he would regularly check in with us to see how things were going. We met up with him multiple times during the planning process, in person and over Zoom calls. Over time he learned more about our story which he was able to weave into the ceremony, making for a nice personal touch. Joe joined us for our rehearsal and met our family and friends, and on wedding day he was professional and friendly with everyone. We definitely recommend Joe!!
