Made our elopement unforgettable

Rev. Joe made our small elopement in Savannah so incredibly special. He was so kind and thoughtful, even taking a few moments to give my now husband some advice before I walked down the aisle. His words during our ceremony were absolutely beautiful and made the moment even more meaningful. We are so grateful he was part of such an important day in our lives, and he is someone we will remember forever. We couldn’t recommend him more!

Fantastic!

On the big day, Rev. Joseph struck the absolute perfect balance. The ceremony was beautifully heartfelt and personal, but he also brought in the perfect amount of lighthearted humor that had both us and our guests smiling and laughing. Our friends and family came up to us afterward to ask where we found such a fantastic officiant!

We love Rev. Joe!

Reverend Joe Wadas officiated our wedding this past December, and we truly could not have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, he was clear, honest, and highly communicative. He made the entire process seamless by catering to our requests and encouraging us to take ownership of how we envisioned our ceremony and the words spoken during it.
During the rehearsal, he offered thoughtful and honest feedback and paid close attention to the small details that can so easily be overlooked. On our wedding day, he spoke with incredible passion, kindness, and warmth. We highly recommend Rev. Joe to anyone seeking an officiant who genuinely cares about creating the best wedding experience imaginable. Thank you for making our wedding day unforgettable with your kind presence.

So grateful for Rev. Joe!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Reverend Joe Wadas. From the very beginning, he was absolutely fantastic to work with and made our wedding day incredibly special. He took the time to truly get to know us before the wedding, which made our ceremony feel deeply personal and meaningful.

His message was absolutely beautiful ....thoughtful, heartfelt, and perfectly centered in the light of God. It was exactly what we were hoping for and more. Reverend Joe has a true gift, and his presence brought so much peace, love, and sincerity to our ceremony.

We are beyond grateful to have met him and to have had him be such an important part of our day. Thank you, Reverend Joe, for making our ceremony so meaningful and unforgettable.

Kind, Professional, Attentive!

Rev. Joe officiated our wedding at Bethesda Academy Whitfield Chapel in September and was such a delight to work with! He was kind, professional, and easy to work with as we were preparing for our big day. My husband and I gave Rev. Joe a customized version of the script and he was more than receptive of our edits. On the day of the rehearsal, he arrived ahead of schedule and was patient as some of crew was running late. We received great advice and direction from Rev. Joe to help us prepare for the real deal. When the wedding day arrived, the ceremony went off perfectly!! My husband and I would definitely recommend Rev. Joe for your wedding officiating needs. Thanks so much!!!

Intimate Ceremony with Rev. Joe!

We couldn't have imagined having a better officiant then Joe. He was incredibly professional and made the entire ceremony magical. His attention to detail on not only incorporating information from the questionnaire, but even doing research on the song that we gave him, made the entire ceremony so intimate and personal.

Perfect officiant for us!

Rev. Wadas did a wonderful job making our ceremony special! He was communicative and friendly. We live in another state and he was easy to work with from afar. Our ceremony was personal and sentimental, he incorporated our religious beliefs and chosen scripture beautifully, and we got many compliments from our guests! He did a great job personalizing it to us. Would 100% recommend Rev. Wadas!
