    Truly passionate about what he does.

    John Rosendale was the officiant at our wedding and made everything so easy and natural. Right away we knew that we had chosen the right person. From guidance through emails and text messages, reassurance at our rehearsal dinner, to setting the pace and bringing it all together the day of our wedding. We are truly grateful for John and his wife.

    A++ service and ceremony. John was professional and flexible with what we wanted for our special day. He made the ceremony so special with his choice of words relating to love, the symbolism of rings and marriage itself. His rate is very good in comparison with other local wedding officiants. We highly recommend John for anyone's wedding day!

    Amazing Ceremony

    John was so amazing that after the ceremony our guests came up and asked us how we knew each other. Most of our guests thought he was a family member that has known us for ages and not just an amazing vendor. His words came out strong, meaningful, and clear. I couldn’t ask for a better officiant for our wedding. Thank you John for officiating our wedding ❤️

    Perfection!

    You can really tell that John loves love. The effort and care that he put into curating the perfect ceremony for our event went above and beyond. John was an integral part of the best day of our lives. He was easy to communicate with, open to feedback, and prompt. 10/10 recommend.

    John was truly awesome. He was professional and diligent with all communication leading up to the ceremony, allowing us to be stress free. He was easy to work with to modify the ceremony to our preferences. On top of that, his creative flexibility saved the ceremony when things didnt go exactly as planned on our end. I am very thankful for John and would highly recommend him to anyone in need of an officiant.

    Wonderful day for our wedding

    John and his wife provided a fantastic day for my wife and I. He kept in close contact with us to make sure that everything would be ready for our big day. John arrived on time, called us before his arrival to let us know he was on the way. He offered a variety of services from deeply religious to non denominational. We chose a little of both. The flowers for my bride were fresh and beautiful. Both John and Denise arrived looking very well-dressed and were very professional. Most importantly, John and Denise truly enjoyed seeing the gathering of family and friends and celebrated with us. Lovely experience.

    Wonderful Officiant

    We were so pleased we chose John as the officiant for my daughter’s wedding! John was so easy to work with and personable. He was very knowledgeable with the process and he took care of the details before and after the ceremony. The ceremony was beautiful and we were so thankful John was a part of it. We highly recommend him!

    Thank you for helping us with our celebration

    Friendly, professional, and very responsive. He officiated a civil ceremony in our home that was so respectful of our wishes. He has a quiet friendly way of getting to know people so that he comes into complete harmony with the spirit of the day. So very grateful we found him on the internet and even more grateful we secured his services. Highly recommend the gentleman

    A perfect, intimate ceremony

    Our intimate wedding ceremony went perfectly thanks to John’s professionalism and experience. We loved how our ceremony was delivered and we were even able to alter the ceremony on the day of thanks to John’s flexibility.
    He & his wife provided lovely florals, photographs, cake and champagne that made the event all that much more special. We are very pleased with our choice of having John as our officiant and would recommend him to our friends and family!

    John is a Gift!

    We feel so blessed to have crossed paths with John! He is as kindhearted and humorous as our families are, and he made our wedding ceremony even more fun and special than we thought it would be. We cannot say enough wonderful things about John. His presence exudes comfort, kindness and you just kind of want to hug him. Thank you, John, for being a part of our union!!!
    Love, Jake & Laura Snell (PS our wedding pics aren't ready yet... this is a candid shot but just showcases our day perfectly!)

    Hiring a John was a great decision!

    John was very communicative from the get go. He encouraged edits on the ceremony verbiage to make it ours. He was flexible with arrival timing and had a creative solution to our timeline struggle for the all important signatures. Very professional and we highly recommend him!

    Saved our wedding day!

    John is quite the amazing officiant. We had everything lined up to get married on top of a mountain in the Olympics when our previous officiant couldn’t make it. Days before our wedding, my husband, found John online. He was very responsive and in a short time we had everything lined up and our wedding would continue on our preferred day. John, his wife, and their beautiful pup hiked the 3.6 miles up- and back down, to Mt Lena on one of the hottest days we’ve had this year. John is extremely professional, charismatic, and was a joy to be married by. Without him, our wedding wouldn’t have been the same!

    John was very professional. He was able to roll with the punches from rain to music difficulties. He continued to help roll the wedding forward and made it a wonderful experience.

    Home Wedding Officiant

    I messaged a number of local Wedding Officiants for my upcoming wedding. John responded literally the next day. I never heard from the others. John Rosendale was totally available and responsive. He was ready to do my wedding at my home exactly on the schedule I needed and wanted. He showed up early with his wonderful wife and helped us get everything taken care of and then he performed the perfect simple yet magnificent ceremony for us. He was a wonderful person with a very reassuring and charrming personality. He is a big jovial person that perfectly fits what I wanted for our home ceremony. He took care of everything professionally and without any additional fuss or bother. I really couldn't have asked for a better arrangement and Officiant and home wedding. Thank you John.

    Excellent, very professional

    We went with the small wedding complete package and it was a great deal. Up to 25 pictures,
    a single layer wedding cake, and a bouquet of flowers for the bride were provided. It was perfect for our small ceremony of just family. John was very cooperative and flexible around our plans and theme for the wedding. The ceremony was exactly what we were hoping for.

    June wedding review

    We are so happy with the way John officiated our wedding. He went above and beyond our expectations and communicated clearly with us the whole way. He even went as far as making it out to our wedding a week after having surgery. He made sure everything we wanted was included in our ceremony and really made our wedding special. 10/10 would highly recommend John for any wedding!

    Nice guy. Fast and friendly correspondence. We changed the time of the wedding by an hour and forgot to update him, but he was easy going about it. His cermon was quick and sweet but in the moment, like he actually cared. Has a nice voice, very good at what he does.

    Fall wedding 10.15.22

    John was great. He responded to every email in a timely manner, answered all my questions- even repeated ones- as mother of the bride I was a bit frazzled! With all the details we juggled during the planning process, John’s professionalism and attention to detail made that part absolutely stress free!!

    John was absolutely amazing! From our first phone conversation, we knew right away that John was going to perform a truly heartfelt and special ceremony for us. He was so kind and truly listened to us, and was genuinely interested in our relationship and how he could include our family. He even rolled with it, when we made last-minute changes to the script. The ceremony was absolutely magical and beautiful and he did such an amazing job! We highly recommend John to anyone looking for an officiant for their wedding.

    Perfect Experience On Our Day

    John was absolutely professional, terrific to work with and as attentive to our personal needs regarding a service as the two of us could have ever hoped to find. We were left with the impression whether you want a more traditional religious ceremony, one leaning more to the simply spiritual or none of the above, he will cater the service to who you are. John gives you the kind of comfortable experience which made us both feel we were working with someone who could have been one of our friends. Couldn't have had a better experience on our important day. Thanks much John!

    A wonderful officiant and person!

    John is incredibly kind, thoughtful, and accommodating. He made our legal wedding ceremony a beautiful, memorable event and was available even with our very short notice (we blame that on the military!). He customized the ceremony script for us beautifully. Thank you, John! We are so grateful and will recommend you to anyone looking for an officiant in the area :)

    Made creating the perfect experience stress free

    John was amazing. He was so communicative and responsive with us from the time we inquired about his service until the actual service. By the time the wedding day came, he wasn't a hired officiant, but a friend. He made the process so easy. He recommended a few different options of ceremonies and tailored it to our personalities. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an awesome stress free experience.

    Very happy... couldn't ask for anything more

    We are both very glad we were able to find John and get on his schedule. He was very responsive, communicated in a very professional and reliable way, and paid attention to the details. John was very easy to work with and we really appreciated his flexibility as we changed dates and venues. An absolute professional, but also friendly and helpful.

    Wonderful Experience!

    We are very happy that we chose John to officiate our wedding. He was kind, courteous, and helped us with all the little details we would have missed without his insight. The ceremony he prepared was beautiful and thoughtful, he seemed to really understand us as a couple through and through. We would recommend him to any of our friends in a heart beat!

    John Rosendale- Wedding Officiant

    John and I have been together for 25 years and wanted to have our union legalized. We picked John to perform our ceremony based on his extremely favorable reviews by other clients. Although he had not performed many same sex marriages before, he was dedicated to performing a non religious ceremony that reflected us, our values, our friends and recognized as well our love for each other and our treasured four-legged companions. He was extremely professional, warm and friendly, and seemed to enjoy the experience as much as we did!

    Wonderful Officiant

    John did an amazing job for our wedding. He was extremely responsive via email, phone and text from the beginning. Worked well with us to design a nice and short ceremony. Very flexible on timing and he even made it just a few weeks after having surgery! Highly recommend.

    Wedding Day September 18th

    John was really the best officiant a couple could ask for! He was so flexible, kind and pretty funny! He definitely calmed both my husband and mine nerves! He came out the day before the wedding and helped us figure out how the ceremony was going to happen, where to stand, when to start walking. He gave us a few tips and pointers that really helped on the day of. They day of the wedding, it started to rain (which we knew was going to happen, we just didn't know how much)! We decided to push the wedding start time 30 minutes later. I called John to let him know and he was really flexible about it! Everything that John said was beautiful! It really was the best day ever! Thanks so much John!

    John made our special day truly SPECIAL!

    We are so pleased we found John Rosendale to perform our wedding ceremony! We wanted a small, intimate family gathering at an out-of-the-way scenic but public place, and John really helped make it come together in a very beautiful ceremony. We requested John’s “Complete Wedding Package” to fill in some details, and he was helpful and flexible to accommodate our needs. John wrote and delivered a wonderful and emotionally moving ceremony that incorporated the religious and family emphasis we wanted, including a family-coming-together “sand ceremony” at John’s suggestion. John was a big part of making our special day truly SPECIAL!! Our sincere and heartfelt THANKS to John!

    The Best Experience!

    We used John years ago and I realized I never wrote a review for his amazing services. We used John as a wedding officiant. We never had an official wedding. John was so open and professional, making it an exceptional experience. It was just us and our kids in a beautifully decorate chapel and that's all we needed. When we met with him it all felt right and he was so helpful. Wedding day he was on time and offered to even take pictures! Thank you again John sorry my review is years late!

    Very Proffessional

    Finding an officiant was pretty difficult, especially with availability after all the postponed dates. I was pretty picky since the officiant makes your whole ceremony. From the moment I first reached out to John, he was very responsive. He set up a phone call right away that was convenient for both of us so we could get to know a little about him and make sure he was a good fit. We were instantly comforted with how professional he was and wanted to lock him in immediately. It was easy to see how much John genuinely cared about being part of our big day. He had our entire ceremony to us within the week for our review. On the day of the ceremony, John called to let me know his ETA so the bride's mind was at ease. From the moment he arrived, we were very pleased and would highly recommend him to anyone getting married. Thank you again John!

    Better than we envisioned

    We were in search of an officiant who met our criteria of experience, knowledge, professionalism, and a appearance that was both bold and commanding in presiding over our most important day of our lives, the day of getting married. Being from Texas and getting married at Olympic National Park, we relied heavily on other client reviews combined with our initial conversation's with John. He is a true professional who makes the process of marriage fun and exciting as our wedding was an adventure elopement. He is very easy to talk with, asked a reasonable amount of questions to get to know us and what we represented as a couple, and prepared a beautiful speech based on what we desired. I give my highest recommendations to any future client out there to give John you most serious consideration of being an officiant at your wedding. Whether it be a traditional wedding or an adventure elopement such as ours, John was a pivotal component along with the location, photographer and wedding party to make our most special day of marriage, a day that we will always remember and cherish. It truly was a perfect day.

    John was an amazing blessing to have for our wedding! We couldn't be happier with his services as well as his personality, professionalism, patience, and sincerity. We would recommend him to anyone looking for a genuinely kind and heartfelt officiant. Honestly we so incredibly happy with the entire experience from start to finish. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant than Mr. Rosendale. Thank you again for the amazing service you provided for us!

    Backyard wedding

    My wife and I were beyond pleased with our decision to hire John for our special day. From the moment we had our video chat to discuss the layout of the ceremony that he prepared (which was very well constructed) we knew we made the right choice. He holds the energy of a long time family friend and is about as kind of a person as they come! So happy with this service and glad we managed to find him. HIGHLY recommend him to others

    Perfect day

    I first reached out to John Rosendale about our wedding just to see how things felt speaking over the phone. John was very passionate about making the experience wonderful and personal. He offered to provide a full package of a general package. He followed up with email, a phone call everything was so personalized he really wanted to provide a service we would love. On the day of the ceremony he was so nice and honestly felt so comfortable. You really see the joy in his face. It was just perfect thank you John Rosendale we have pictures and video I will upload at another time

    Incredibly blessed ceremony!

    My future spouse and I was seeking a wedding ceremony that was personal to each of us with a further expression of blessing from the Words of God from the Bible and those around us. John Rosendale was able to present such an amazing ceremony that encompassed all attributes that we were looking for and much more. I would recommend him to any couple that was looking for that special person to bring their Union together. We had a beautiful wedding ceremony with great friends. It was completely priceless!

    We used John for our officiant for our May 2021 wedding. Our initial date was August 2020 but due to Covid we had to move it and John was more than accommodating and flexible with the switch. His experience and professionalism made our special day that much more memorable. We received nothing but positive feedback from our family and friends who attended. John's kindness and guidance really helped us throughout the entire process. We 10/10 recommend him to anybody getting married.

    Wedding in Hoh Rainforest

    We would just like to say what a great experience it was working with John from start to finish. He wrote a perfect ceremony that, although he offered us the opportunity to alter in any way, we kept it as is. This really showed us just how intuitive he is with those he works with. Also, his willingness to be flexible with changing circumstances regarding our setting was really impressive and greatly appreciated. He and his wife made what may have otherwise been a fairly stressful experience one that couldn't have gone better.

    The setting in the Hoh Rainforest was absolutely spectacular. Getting married next to a flowing river in one of the most uniquely beautiful places I have ever been was all the better of an experience because of the wedding officiant we chose. Thanks again John!

    Perfect Day!

    I highly recommend John as an officiant! The ceremony was beautiful and he and his wife did everything themselves, it was so special for us to be able to get married during this pandemic and we could not have done so without John Rosendale.

    August 2020 Wedding

    Working with John as our wedding officiant for our August 2020 wedding was amazing. John was very responsive from the start. He rescued our wedding after our initial wedding officiant fell through just weeks before our wedding. John and his wife (who took some pictures for us) were both amazing. We highly recommend for anyone to use him as your officiant, The entire experience was delightful.

    Highly recommend!!

    I highly recommend John. He was absolutely wonderful. We are a military couple who only had 6 days to plan our wedding and John made it happen. If you are a last minute, in between deployments, only have a few days kind of couple--John is your guy. I called him Monday and we were married Thursday, He was extremely flexible, helped with location, and everything else. He is a very positive, kind person and did not make me feel bad about hastily putting this together. He customized the small ceremony and made it so special for us. John even brought his lovely wife and she snapped a few photos of us! He was quick to return my call and great with email too. I cannot say enough nice things about John and the service he gave us! Thank you!!

    Our tiny extravaganza

    John was so accommodating from the first point of contact. I emailed him with an interest to have him marry my husband and I and he responded within a few hours. And was more than willing and able to make changes to our ceremony, as I was constantly changing my mind on things I wanted to add or remove or bible versus I wanted to swap.lol. He was VERRY professional and yet made you feel like you we’re close friends . A full package deal in my opinion. Thank you so much. God bless you and your wife. It is clear that this is your calling from god. You are doing exactly what you were meant to do on this earth! 👰🏼🤵🏼

    John is very professional

    Working with John was a pleasure. He was prompt, he communicated in a timely manner and kept in touch throughout the year, leading up to our wedding. He gave us great ideas and followed through with everything he said he would do. I would choose his services everytime. It was an absolute pleasure working with John, you can't go wrong.

    Warm & personal pandemic wedding officiant!

    John performed our very small and intimate wedding ceremony in July 2020 at Alderbrook during the pandemic. We talked to him a few times prior to the wedding and he was so helpful regarding writing our ceremony to be personal to us and to include my teenage kids. He was easy to communicate with, has a very friendly and warm demeanor, and really seems to enjoy doing this. We highly recommend John to make your wedding fun and special!

    Fantastic!!!

    John was a fantastic officiant. He was very personable, friendly, and charismatic. Our wedding was a rustic country theme and he wore a cowboy hat and a Bolo tie to match our theme. John is an amazing man to officiate any wedding and we are blessed that he officiated ours.
    Thank you John!!!
    Sincerely,
    Ashley And Thomas Metzler

    Couldn't be happier!

    We had a wonderful experience working with John as our wedding officiant for our July 2020 wedding and highly recommend him. We were frantic after our previous officiant canceled, and when speaking with John he made us feel very confident in his reliability and knowledge. Even when all things wedding related started to change a few months ago due to Covid, he assured us that he would be there for our day no matter what we decided to do. He was very kind and organized, and was always very easy to get ahold of when we had questions. When we wanted different vows than the standard, he was very willing to work with us to make it exactly what we wanted. He has a relaxed and calm demeanor, which everyone who has experienced wedding stress can really appreciate. We can't thank him enough for how great he was to work with!

    Wedding on 07-01-2020

    This elopement was very difficult because I (bride) was coming from out of state and my husband is in the military so everything had to be rushed done very fast, but Mr. John and his wife helped make the process as simple as possible. They were very flexible with dates and time even though there were alot of set backs (plane cancelations, military duties, and everything going on with the corona virus). Thank you for the beautiful little ceremony that we didn't realize we were going to get when we called and set up our date. 100 % would recommend!

    Extremely professional and flexible

    We hired John to perform our wedding ceremony in July 2020, but due to Covid-19, we had to cancel the wedding. Regardless, I wanted to share what a positive experience we had with him. He responded very quickly from the very start, and even followed up with me when things fell off my radar. He was very personable, and we had a very enjoyable call with him where he told us about himself and about how he goes about performing ceremonies. He was very flexible with however we wanted to do the ceremony, but since we had very little concrete ideas going into the conversation, hearing from him and hearing how he typically structures ceremonies helped us to start planning. When we cancelled, he very graciously waived all but the small deposit, which we very much appreciated. All in all, he was an absolute professional and very personable to work with.

    Couldn't have been better

    As others have said, John was great to work with and was very easy going, which was helpful with my last minute jitters. He arrived early and brought his wife along, which was nice since we eloped and would have needed a second witness signature if one of the photographers wasn't able to attend. He was quick to respond via email and flexible when I kept changing my mind with the vows and sand ceremony. I recommend him to anyone!

    We're so thankful that we found John to officiate our elopement. He's so kind, warm-hearted, and made our day feel extremely special and important. He met with us beforehand to talk through everything we wanted to do for the day, showed up early for the ceremony, and was a calming presence for our day. We can't recommend John enough!

    Beautiful ceremony on short notice

    We contacted John about two weeks prior to our quickly planned wedding. Thankfully he was available and made the whole process easy. He was clear that our wedding day was truly ours and that we had complete control over how the service went down. He happily added in a poem that I wanted and included our dog as a ring bearer. At the end of our ceremony there was a snafu with our walk away music that caused my new husband and I to panic a bit. John handled the situation with grace and got us back in track.

    Our wedding plans changed last minute and we needed to find a minister last minute. Pastor Rosendale was not only so flexible and friendly he took the time to communicate, plan and perfect our wedding plan while on his vacation! The service was unsurpassed and something me and my now husband will always be able to remember as not just personal but so very special!

    We had alot of questions about "what normally happens" or what "is appropriate ". Having been in the buisness for as long as he has, John was able to guide us on some best prqctices and had great advice to make our event even more special. Great demeanor, not overly wordy, but poetic, thoughtful and memorable. Would recomend for anyone who wants a professional.

    Super friendly and professional. Made many aspects of our wedding run much more smoothly, even outside the realm of officiant responsibilities.

    John was a fantastic addition to our wedding! He really made us feel calm and confident about the overall flow of the ceremony and had so many helpful tips along the way. You could literally walk into your own wedding completely clueless and he would take care of you. He emphasized that his role is to have our backs and he certainly proved that in more ways than one. He has an aura and a demeanor that puts even the most nervous nellys at ease. Rest assured you are in good hands with this man. Book him and be done with it. You'll thank me later.

    John made our ceremony super special. He went above and beyond to make our day perfect and was also very reassuring that things happen during weddings and that everything will be okay no matter what. We got married with two little kids and he found such an amazing way to incorporate them into our special moment. I highly recommend him to all couples, he made the most important day of our lives such an amazing memory.

    Great voice, great experience

    From our first phone conversation with John, he was a delight to work with. Very friendly and we immediately knew he would be a calming presence on the day. We were not wrong. With a booming voice all attendants could easily hear, John had a perfect script and made us feel at ease throughout. Before the ceremony began, he spoke with the groom and assuaged any concerns, making the nerves fall away. He was the perfect officiant anyone could ask for.

    A Perfect Wedding Day

    John Rosendale was highly recommended to us by family and a friend. He was very responsive to emails and communicated along the way. What we enjoyed most is his flexibility in allowing us to have so much input. John began by providing us with a written wedding ceremony and from there we were able to either remove sections and most importantly add what was important to us. That included having a dear friend perform the ring exchanges. John was perfectly OK with that as well as our music choices. He was such a pleasure to work with and we were so happy to have him be our officiant!

    Such a joyful and loving laid back gentleman

    We absolutely loved John. Such a kind man who listened to our requests and had a great delivery. We liked him so much upon meeting him we asked for him to bring his wife and stay and enjoy the wedding with us and he did. He did a exceptional job making us feel comfortable and much like family.
