John is amazing.

John was so easy to work with. We had a semi-religious ceremony and it was a breeze. He really listened to us in terms of what we were looking for in a wedding ceremony and delivered it seamlessly. Not only is he great at what he does, he communicates well and was punctual. I would recommend John to anyone looking for an officiant!

Very professional

Thank you John for officiating our special day. The vows you provided based off of our conversations were perfect. The prayers I requested and the mention of my departed baby sister was perfect and tasteful. Can not thank you enough for your professionalism.

Professional and kind!

John is an amazing officiant, he was able to respond quickly when when we needed a last minute officiant due to a scheduling error, and I’m honest when I say had I known him before I would of went with him from the start! He was able to Taylor the ceremony specifically to my wife and I, and was kind understanding and thoughtful throughout the whole process! I seriously can’t thank John enough!

Excellent service!!

Hiring John was one of the best decisions we made throughout our whole wedding process. John was very open and flexible to all of our ideas and requests. On top of being a top notch public speaker, he helped us navigate the marriage license process and was very on top of things. We highly recommend John as a wedding officiant!

So Much Heart!

When we met John, we were a bit in pickle and only had 30 days until our wedding. Thankfully, John was available, and we immediately clicked when we spoke and met with him. He was so calming and caring, we knew we had found the right person. He was so helpful during our rehearsal and for the day of the wedding, we could truly feel the love and a personal touch during the ceremony. It was simply beautiful and we couldn’t have been more blessed to have John perform our ceremony! Thank you John!

Very reliable officiant

I contacted John 6 days before my scheduled ceremony and he was very responsive. We wanted a very simple and short ceremony and John fully respected our needs. He would take time to listen to our request and tailor the ceremony based on our needs. John was also very punctual and professional. I would definitely recommend John to anyone who needs the services he provides.

What a wonderful man!

John was amazing! Our plan last minute fell through and he came to us from Detroit. The pricing was reasonable and he even had vows for us to rehearse! We saved our personal ones for later!

Met us at the park where we first met and performed a small ceremony. Perfect and intimate in every way! He was incredibly professional and friendly. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for an ordained minister!

HIRE! You won’t find anyone better!

Absolutely perfect experience with John as my wedding officiant. Communication was clear and quick response, kindness and friendly service was impeccable. Flexibility to schedule and meeting our needs was such a great relief. I couldn’t be happier with the service and cost of my purchase of hire with John. Thank you so much for everything! My husband and I are forever grateful to have had met you and your nephews.
