    Wonderful Officiant!

    Chase was the preferred officiant to use at our wedding venue, so we booked him and I am so happy we did! He absolutely exceeded our expectations. My husband and I were so nervous for the actual ceremony and he walked us through the little details at our rehearsal which made such a difference the day of. He was also very accommodating of our wishes as my husband and I did not want to speak a bunch outside of saying “I do.” He tailored the ceremony to fit our needs and made it so beautiful and seamless. I would recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant! Could not have been happier!

    Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

    Chase officiated our wedding in October and we couldn’t be happier that we went with him! He was incredibly professional and communicative throughout the whole planning process. He made planning our ceremony super easy by sending us some templates to use as a starting point and was flexible with any changes we wanted to make.

    He made sure our rehearsal and ceremony ran smoothly and was so helpful in making sure everyone knew their cues and where to stand so we’d have the best photos. We got so many compliments on how well-spoken he was after our wedding and how touching the ceremony was. I would 100% recommend Chase to anyone planning their wedding!

    Great Wedding Officiant!

    Chase did such a great job on our wedding day, before and after. He helped piece together a personalized ceremony script, led our rehearsal with fairly short notice and guided us through the process of submitting our marriage license, changing my name, etc. He was very kind and down to Earth and had insider tips on how to get the best photos during the ceremony and what would work most effectively. Working with him was very straight forward and I highly recommend his services for your wedding day!

    The best experience!

    Chase did an AMAZING job officiating our wedding at Four Seasons Barn. He was so accommodating and flexible! We were able to choose exactly what we wanted. He was quick to respond to any questions we had throughout the whole process. He was so kind and gave us several tips for our big day so our pictures would look nice!! We highly recommend him!

    Awesome Officiant!

    Chase was an awesome officiant for our June wedding! He was super easy to work with, communicative, and professional. He gave us a ton of information on when to get our marriage license that made it so easy, and information and tips on how to change my name afterwards! It was super easy to work with him to develop our ceremony script and he did an amazing job with the ceremony. Price was super reasonable as well. I would highly recommend working with Chase for your wedding!

    John was amazing!

    John was an amazing officiant for our recent wedding! He was so knowledgeable and answered all of our questions and concerns that we had. He made sure that we felt comfortable with the script he was going to read for our ceremony and let me adjust things as needed. He even gave me a lot of helpful resources about how to go about changing my name. He spoke very clearly when reading during our ceremony and our guests loved how sharp he dressed! He even sent email reminders before and after the wedding on things we needed to. Overall I highly recommend having John officiate your wedding ceremony/rehearsal he was very professional, kind, and knowledgeable throughout the entire process.

    Amazing professionalism and so helpful!

    Chase was extremely professional and personal. Made us feel comfortable and so excited to get married. Helped us every step of the way with providing ceremony examples, info on how to get marriage license, and how to get name legally changed. Couldn’t recommend Chase more!

    The ceremony of our dreams!

    We could not have found a better person to officiate our wedding than Chase with Columbus Wedding Officiants. He came highly recommended to us by both our DJ and our Venue and we 100% now know why! From our very first meeting, Chase was warm and friendly, asked very detailed questions and really got to understand our vision for our ceremony and our wedding day. He provided amazing examples of prior ceremonies for inspiration and together we planned a ceremony that captured our love for each other perfectly. Our family and friends are still raving about how beautiful our ceremony was, and we owe that to Chase. Thank you for officiating the ceremony we had dreamed of!!

    Towler Elopement

    We chose Chase for our elopement ceremony in German Village. Not only was Chase knowledgeable, but extremely accommodating to our needs. He helped us craft a ceremony that fit our love. Because of Chase, the day was smooth and stress-free, with a thoughtful and loving ceremony.

    Professional, Genuine, & LGBTQ Friendly

    We had such a wonderful experience with Chase and are so happy we were able to find him when it came down to the wire. When we had our first video call with him, we knew he would be perfect. He has such a genuinely sweet demeanor about him and worked with us to make our ceremony script exactly what we wanted it to be (LGBTQ friendly, not overly religious, and most importantly about LOVE). I would and will recommend him to anyone I know looking for an officiant.

    Perfectly Officiated!

    John officiated our wedding ceremony just as we had planned! He gave helpful hints and ideas, but allowed us to write our ceremony and vows. He kept in communication and arrived early to help us take care of signing the marriage certificate. So helpful!!We couldn't have asked for a more personable and professional officiant!!

    Chase Waits Was A Beautiful Addition to My Wedding Day!!!

    Mr. Chase Waits was the best officiant we could possibly ask for and was extremely cost-efficient. He was able to work with my husband and me while we were stationed overseas in Germany due to my husband serving in the US Military. He was accommodating and quick to respond to emails or meet with us on Zoom calls. Mr. Waits was incredible in helping us write our vows and creating a family-involved wedding ceremony. The best part about working with Chase was that he allowed us to develop vows to incorporate our son into our wedding. He provided us with prompts to make the process easier. I would highly recommend him to officiate any wedding!! Thank you Chase for your fantastic work.

    Easy, informative, reliable

    Chase was great! We are so lucky he was available to officiate our wedding. He took the time to explain everything to us (marriage license, ceremony options, changing last name, etc.) in detail and answered all of our questions. Chase was easy to work with and tailored our ceremony to exactly what we wanted. I highly recommend utilizing Chase for your wedding!

    We highly recommend having Chase officiate your wedding!

    I am so happy I found Chase to officiate our wedding. My husband and I got married in April at The Estate New Albany. 5 weeks before our wedding Andrew tore his achilles so we were a bit apprehensive for the day since he was going to be in a boot and on crutches. We got him a scooter to use so it would be more comfortable and easy for him to roll around, but I was still nervous for how it would go! At our rehearsal, Chase took all those worries away! He was so patient, kind and extremely knowledgeable! He ran everything so smoothly and suggested we tell the staff at the estate to set the chairs wider so we had more room to go down the aisle! Everyone loved him and on the wedding day we got so many compliments about our ceremony! We kept it pretty short & sweet and Chase did an amazing job delivering it with ease. I am so thankful and HIGHLY recommend Chase to officiate your wedding! Thank you for everything Chase!

    Thoughtful and professional!

    Chase officiated our elopement and the entire experience was fantastic. He was responsive when we first reached out, and he had a ton of examples of different ceremonies/readings/vows that we could look through. This really helped us get a sense of what we wanted. Once we knew the kind of ceremony we were looking for, Chase put together a transcript of the whole ceremony for us to review, and it was honestly perfect. Finally, on the day of Chase was early to our ceremony, and so prepared and professional. Our ceremony and vows were lovely, and there's truly nothing I would change about the experience.

    Best money we spent on our wedding!

    As my husband and I were planning our wedding, we went back and forth on having a friend or family member get ordained, or hiring someone. We ultimately decided to hire Chase with Columbus Wedding Officiants, and I'm so glad we did. He was so great to work with through the planning process, providing us with ideas for our ceremony but still letting us create something meaningful to us. Our ceremony was beautiful, and it was a weight off my shoulders to have someone professional and experienced marry us. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone getting married!

    Simple, easy and genuinely perfect service!

    Chase was so wonderful to work with! My husband and I are not super religious, and we were concerned about how genuine the ceremony could feel without those common religious aspects. Chase was super reassuring and made the ceremony feel intimate and full of love. He was so personable from the moment he came to our rehearsal and made us instantly feel like we had known him for years. I would HIGHLY recommend his services. He also sent out a ton of helpful information regarding actually obtaining our marriage license and the name change process. Most importantly, he knew to step out of the way for our big kiss lol :)

    Wonderful!

    James was our officiant for our wedding ceremony, and he did an incredible job! He and Chase were both very helpful throughout our wedding planning process leading up to the big day, and provided us with resources and reminders to keep us on track. James even made it to our rehearsal the day before, and helped ensure things ran smoothly. We wanted our ceremony to be sentimental and meaningful, and James delivered the words perfectly. Everyone kept telling us afterwards what a beautiful ceremony it was! I would absolutely recommend Columbus Wedding Officiants.

    We had THE BEST experience with Chase!

    We absolutely loved working with Chase! We hired Chase to officiate our wedding at Jorgensen Farms, and could not have been happier with how perfectly everything went on our special day. Chase is professional, experienced, and organized. He attended our rehearsal, which made us feel very confident going into our wedding day. Chase provided us with a sample packet filled with numerous ceremony examples, which helped us piece together our dream ceremony! I would 100% recommend Chase to anyone looking for a wedding officiant.

    The Perfect Non-Denominational Officiant!

    Chase was the best possible officiant we could have asked for for our wedding. We had to push our large wedding due to Covid, and Chase was there for us at the last minute for our intimate ceremony. He let us know step by step what we needed to get done and helped us build the perfect customized ceremony which included our own vows. Definitely recommend!

    John Stuber was a great officiant!

    John Stuber was phenomenal. I was impressed with the script that John had provided us, and allotted for us to edits as desired. John was always very quick to respond back to inquiries and made the entire process easy. He is also very personable, which really helps on the big day. I would strongly recommend John to friends and family!

    Highly Recommend!

    We are so happy we had John be a part of our wedding day! He was great to work with, and he made the marriage license and rehearsal process so easy! Him and Chase sent over a few samples, and we were able to use those to customize our ceremony. It was pouring rain the day of our wedding, and we made a last minute decision to move our ceremony indoors (a room we hadn't practiced our rehearsals in). But John was flexible with us, and our ceremony went super well with his help!
