Professional, personable officiant - highly recommend!

John Kennedy was an OUTSTANDING officiant and we truly could not have asked for a more personable, professional officiant! His communication was extremely responsive from start to finish. Finding an officiant was one of our vendors we were most concerned about, but after our initial video call with John we knew that he would hold a great service. We had a fully customized ceremony that we loved! Our friends and family loved the ceremony! The words he spoke during his thoughts about marriage and love during our ceremony was kept a surprise and we loved them! We could tell he listened to us as a couple as he made many references to our relationship. If you are looking for officiant book John Kennedy! Thank you!!
