Our Perfect Ceremony

Where can we start, from the very beginning when my now husband, Jordan first started looking for the perfect officiant to help set the tone for our entire wedding he found John. From the moment of requesting more information the communication was awesome. Excellent at getting back to you, being thorough in how the ceremony would go and really wanting to get to know the couple he was marrying. Charisma, heart, and really knows how to bring the guests together and gave great marital advice. Our Ceremony was heartfelt, funny, and charming, like the scene on a movie!! We instantly felt comfortable with John, his help at our rehearsal was also not forgotten. Thank you so much John!!

Awesome Officiant

John was easy to work with even on short notice. We had to find an officiant literally 30 days prior to our wedding after our church canceled our wedding due to COVID related issues. When we lost the church we lost the officiant so I had to scramble to find an officiant that had beliefs aligned with ours and let me tell you that is not easy! John jumped right in and did his part. Not only did he show up to rehearsal the day before and patiently waited as our bridal party was an hour late (😖 sorry John) and endured my brother calling him Morgan Freeman for 2 days. 😆 but he arrived on time to the wedding and helped keep our guests greeted and full of smiles. After the wedding he took care of ensuring accurate info for completion of and filing our marriage license. One thing some of our bridal party mentioned is he sometimes came across as pushy but he is an elder so I didn’t care. I didn’t experience that pushy behavior at all. Worth every penny in our book.

Covid Wedding

John was extremely helpful in the wedding planning process. We put off get an officiant due to the uncertainty caused by Covid 19. John stepped in and adapted to our situation.He helped make sure things went smoothly.

So easy to work with!

Asking John to officiate our wedding was one of the best decisions. He made our ceremony the easiest part of planning the wedding. I appreciate his responsiveness, caring and outgoing personality! He was a pleasure to work with and made everything seamless during planning and ceremony itself.

Professional

John was exactly what we needed. He whipped all of our bridesmaids and groomsmen into shape. He made sure everyone was attentive and doing their part. He knows what he is doing and I'm glad we had him he rolled with punches even when our mic went out he didnt let it stop him.

Cool, calm & collected

John is an amazing officiant who genuinely enjoys being a part of your special day. Our first meeting with him, he already had a solid plan for the flow of the ceremony and let us customize aspects to fit our vision. Day of the wedding, John remained cool calm and collected although the ceremony was slightly delayed. John is an absolute pleasure to work with - you won't be disappointed!

Couldn’t have chosen a better officiant

Yours Forever Wedding was everything we expect. He was on time, preplanning and wedding day. Preplanning, we went out for coffee, (my fiancé, son, John and I) we talked and got to know each other better. He went into detail and made the process simple and put our mind at ease. He usually would stay in the Sacramento area but was willing to travel about an hour away to officiate. And not only that, he didn’t charge us extra for the travel. We appreciated that a lot as we had a lot of expenses. His communication is A1. He’s honest and you can tell he loves what he do. We would definitely recommend him. He will not disappoint.

John did an amazing job! We had a few technical difficulties because our venue's electrical outlets did not support our speaker equipment and the mic we provided John was not working. Needless to say he continued to guide our ceremony in the right direction and kept me calm and focused on my husband to be even though the mic was not working. Our ceremony was beautiful and heartfelt and THANK YOU John!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
