The best of the best!

WOW! I don’t know where to start but let’s just say 10/10 would recommend. In every lifetime, we would choose Lonnie to marry us over and over again. He exceeded our expectations. When we were looking for someone to marry us our requirements included someone who was experienced, someone who allowed us to have input on our wedding script for the ceremony, and most importantly someone who has “THE VOICE”. What we mean by “the voice” is someone who can speak confidently, speak well, and sound professional while sounding like they have known us for years and years like a family member. We had so many compliments on our wedding ceremony, our hearts felt so full. Lonnie is so kind and was so fun to work with. At the end of the wedding ceremony, Lonnie made sure our witnesses signed the marriage license paperwork and he took the initiative on sending our marriage certificate and license to our county. Lonnie gave us a tracking number to ensure we were able to know when the paperwork was recorded. Lastly, Lonnie gave us a beautiful box with our ceremony script, certificate of marriage, and thank you card. Our hearts are so full. We are literally shedding tears reminiscing about our ceremony and writing this review. All in all, if you are looking for an officiant, look no further. If you are reading this, this is a sign to book with Lonnie.

Truly The Best!

Lonnie was amazing to work with! From the very first time we talked I could tell he was something special. It felt like I was talking to an old friend and I could tell he was really interested in what me and my husband had to say. We had a themed wedding and Lonnie did his research to ensure that our ceremony followed the theme. He absolutely killed it! My husband and I had multiple people asking about him during the reception and saying how cool he was. Lonnie is truly amazing at what he does and I will be recommending him to everyone I know! You will have such a fun and stress free time working with him.

Such an amazing experience

If we could give above 5 stars we would in a heartbeat. Lonnie has been nothing short of a privilege to work with. My now husband and I are both extremely introverted. So needless to say standing in front of a crowd of people and opening our hearts by sharing our story of love and growth was a nightmarish thought to say the least. However, Lonnie set a clear boundary: we are the captain of the ship, he is a navigator. He was able to use our input to formulate a tremendous narrative that embodies our relationship. He took his time over months and multiple meetings to ensure it was perfect for us. He got us to open up and relax on the big day. In the end it was nothing short of perfect and after the ceremony his storytelling helped bring together both sides of the family (many of whom strangers) to talk about where they fit in in our story. It brought everyone together and was the catalyst for a wonderful night. I can say for certain that it wouldn’t have been the same without Lonnie’s hard work, passion, professionalism, and experience. Look no further when researching for an officiant. Lonnie is the best one out there for you.

Hard working

He worked with us when we didn’t really have any ideas on what to do he gave suggestions and advice which was amazing. He is very passionate about his work wrote an amazing speech that made everyone laugh and enjoy. He really makes it feel like it’s your day by not rushing and only scheduling your wedding or event as the only one for the day so you don’t feel rushed one bit

Simply Superb!

From our very first interaction, we knew Lonnie was the one for us. His passion for love was apparent and poured through as he spoke. He was flexible in every aspect. Lonnie took the time to get to know us on a personal level and adjusted every little detail to fit. Lonnie invited an open dialog via email and text, including multiple Zoom Meetings. We always felt heard and respected. Lonnie and his husband Danilo have become family to us. We really couldn’t have asked for a better officiant! We are forever grateful and cannot sing Lonnie’s praises enough.

Our Amazing Wedding

From the moment we met Lonnie we fell in love with just how personable he was and how amazing of an efficient he was. He was so flexible with meeting our needs our schedule and attending video calls and text messages often he had us write our vowels and we sent him our vowels and he went above and beyond and printed our vowels. He is very personable and we me and my fiancé been to mini weddings seen TV shows of efficient and nobody could do it as good as Lonnie could do it. He truly is amazing. He made our magical day that much more magical.

Lonnie helped make our day perfect!

We found Lonnie while searching for an officient for our Lake Tahoe small wedding. Instantly, when we met Lonnie, we knew he was a great fit. He is not just doing this as a hustle for money, he is genuinely invested in creating a beautiful and meaningful ceremony. Lonnie was very responsive and worked with my husband and I to create our program/vows and even suggested a few ideas to make our moment even more magical. Ours was a faith-based ceremony for a large blended family...our second marriage. Lonnie mixed the perfect amount of tradition/faith based script with modern day humor and we could not be more pleased. Highly recommend!

The best decision we made was hiring Lonnie!

Lonnie was a blessing in so many ways! We can not say enough great things about him and all that he did for us. We had multiple zoom meetings to finalize every part of the ceremony, we were given complete control over changes and tweaks and we were also able to add in special touches that made it personal. Lonnie got to know us. He created a story of our love timeline and made it into quite the celebration. Lonnie was not only on time but early to help with final touches. We did not have an elaborate ceremony but Lonnie truly took charge. Not only did he submit our license for us, we left that day with a complete care package including our script. Did we mention he was affordable? Nothing about Lonnie was cheap, but his prices were perfect for our low budget that's for sure! Very highly recommended. I honestly can't recommend him enough. There is so much you don't think about. Luckily he has you covered!

Lonnie was the perfect choice.

He personalizes his service directly to you as a couple, he could be the most formal host or the least. He makes it easy for you to engage with the planning and stays organized so there's never miscommunication. He's incredibly easy to work with, and he executes the ceremony reliably, especially by offering rehearsal.

More importantly to us, he was one of the warmest people at our ceremony. He was easy for everyone to talk to and get along with, from my far left LGBT friends to my conservative father. He's a reverend that performed a great secular ceremony for us. He even had us review every word of the ceremony beforehand to make sure it fit our needs.

If you're on his page to begin with, I genuinely can't think of a scenario he wouldn't fit perfectly. I'm sure another officiant would have done fine, but no other officiant would have felt this special for us.
