Beautiful Ceremony & Truly Wonderful Officiant

We are so glad we chose John to officiate our wedding! From our very first interactions, he was kind, personable, and incredibly easy to work with. He explained the whole marriage process in such a clear and comforting way, which instantly put our minds at ease.

We booked John well in advance, and when we finally met him at our rehearsal, we couldn’t have been happier — he was calm, supportive, and genuinely thoughtful.

On the wedding day, with all the nerves and excitement happening, John was right there to help steady us and make sure we stayed present in the moment. The ceremony he led was beautiful, meaningful, and exactly what we hoped for — and we can’t thank him enough for that.

We highly recommend John to anyone looking for an officiant who is compassionate, professional, calming, and genuinely lovely to work with!

Five Stars!

Loved him! We had our previous officiant cancel a few weeks before my wedding and John got right back to us and we set up a call right away. He made me feel comfortable and like a friend which is exactly what we wanted. I have gotten so many compliments after my wedding for the great job he did. Thank you John for everything!

Just what we need!

John was exactly what we needed in an officiant: responsive, understanding, and able to personalize our ceremony (even able to add in some jokes about the weather on the day of).

Inspiring and magical

Our whole experience with John was wonderful. From the very beginning he gave us advice and inspiring words. His genuine interest and interaction with us and our party was just magical and perfect. I couldn't imagine our special day without him being the one guiding our ceremony. Every time I close my eyes and remember that moment I can only feel grateful and over the moon. Thank you John for the most beautiful ceremony of a lifetime.

Perfect voice for our vows! Wonderful officiant!

Stellar officiants create a memorable, beautiful ceremony for all guests in witness, as well as the couple tying the knot—John Reardon being the best officiant of all!

Contacting My Custom Wedding Ceremony was easily one of the best calls we made while planning our dream wedding!

My husband and I admired John’s joyful presence, professionalism, and attention to detail. His ability to personalize our vows made the words flow poetically and reflect exactly who we are as a couple.

The first time I called, John immediately set the tone for a wonderful experience. He made us feel valued, and took time to truly understand our vision, by asking thoughtful and pointed questions.

Throughout our wedding planning journey, John was incredibly responsive. He let us know that we could call/text/email him with any questions, and he would promptly answer with helpful suggestions and ceremony ideas.

He wrote us several elegant, heartfelt options for vows and ring statements, to which I received via email far in advance of our wedding date. This itself made all the difference! My husband and I had a clear awareness of what we’d recite, had ample time to make decisions, and John welcomed any feedback for edits (we didn’t need to edit, the phrasing, as is, was lovely!).

When the rehearsal came, John arrived early and prepared. He brought just the right mix of humor and expertise, and made practicing fun for my family, wedding party, and my husband and me. By the end, everyone was happy and knew exactly what to do during the big day.

Our ceremony was perfect! All owed to John, for ensuring the words were warm, sincere, and full of love. Thanks to John’s role in our special day, we were able to be present in the moment, without a single worry.

Later, even days after the ceremony, my guests spoke about how touched they were, and how they themselves wished they could’ve had an officiant like John. The best part of this is that you can!

Reach out to John, and your wedding experience will truly be unforgettable!

Perfection

John Reardon married us this April 2023. He is so informative and helpful. He will also suggest a lot of different ways to do the ceremony. You and your groom will be in so much ease after you talk to him and ask all the questions you have. He made us feel calm and peaceful in our wedding. As soon as I got to the front he took a pause to let everyone take their seats. He is also funny, if you have some gimmick for the wedding he will support that 100%
I read my vows to my husband and he asked me if i wanted to keep the mic and i said yes. Everyone was just laughing and having fun during our wedding ceremony. It was so perfect. My imagination of my ceremony was way beyond that expected. I love it very much!
