    Superb ceremony

    Larry was conscientious of every detail. He gave a written version of the ceremony ahead of time and accommodated any changes. Guests were commenting on his lovely relationship/marriage words of wisdom.

    Love Wins 2020

    Larry is kind and encouraging. The words he spoke at our wedding ceremony were beautiful and they touched my heart and soul. His love and passion for what he does is evident.

    Wonderful Ceremony!

    Larry James was our officiant for our wedding. His words were absolutely beautiful and our guests loved every minute. We received so many compliments about the message his words carried. Not only was our ceremony beautiful, but Larry James is truly a kind and wonderful man to talk to as well! I would highly recommend him if you are looking for a unique and beautiful wedding ceremony!

    The perfect officiant for our wedding

    Larry was the officiant for my daughters wedding and when it was time for my wedding I knew right away I wanted to hire Larry. He is all about love and his ceremony is beautiful. I didn't want a religious ceremony and he was perfectly ok with changing the ceremony. He is super easy to work with & professional but at the same time he knows when to keep it light and roll with the little spontaneous moments that happen during the ceremony that makes it unique and feel like it is 100% yours. Highly recommend Larry.

    Perfect for our wedding!

    Larry was great! From the moment we met, we could tell that he was dedicated to making sure our ceremony and experience was perfect. He was quick to respond to any questions, and when the day finally came, the ceremony was beautiful! My friends and family loved it as well. Highly recommend!

    My husband and I loved Larry James right from our very first meeting! He has an incredible warm and friendly personality and truly cares about making your wedding ceremony beautiful and personal. He is a wonderful communicator and was an absolute joy to work with. Our families enjoyed spending time with him at the rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, and the reception! Just a wonderful man... we are blessed to have him as such a big part of our special day. Could not be happier!

    Larry James is an exceptional minister and we could not have asked for a better ceremony! From the first phone call all the way through the ceremony, Larry was professional and attentitive and truly cares about his clients. The ceremony was personalized to our wants and needs and Larry was always there to offer a helping hand along the way. Our friends and family couldn't stop talking about what a wonderful ceremony we had and how amazing Larry did. We would definitely recommend Larry, he is the best!

    Larry James was an exceptional minister. He goes above and beyond to make sure his clients are well informed about the marriage process. He's very responsive and flexible. His ceremony readings are well written and appealing to couples, as well as, their friends and family. I'd definitely recommend him for anyone that's looking for an officiant that runs a professional business and truly cares about their clients.

    I would highly recommend Larry James, he provides a very intimate and spiritual experience. His ceremony was very heartfelt and touching. We loved our vows and will cherish them always! Our guests were delighted that they also were a part of the ceremony and commented "how moved and emotional they became" Whether you're looking for a small personal wedding or a lavish 200 guest affair Larry is your man!

    TOTALLY recommend Larry James. Larry James made our wedding so incredibly special. From the first phone call I had with him, I knew I wanted him to officiate my wedding. He is so compassionate, loving, thoughtful, funny, and loves what he does. He has created a beautiful wedding ceremony that is completely customizable. When we met in person, we got to know each other and went over the entire ceremony and the different options you have. You are given a pen and asked to cross out anything you don't like in the ceremony so it is unique to the couple. Another important thing for me, was he allowed you to make it as religious or non-religious as you like. Larry has a warmth about him that instantly makes me feel comfortable, so I was so grateful he was there to marry my best friend. Several people told us that they loved the ceremony, that it was unique and beautiful. I would highly recommend Larry James!

    Larry has put together the most thoughtful and loving ceremony that allows for customization. When we first met him to go over the ceremony, I cried the most happy tears listening to him recite it. We have a blended family of 5 with some older children so the blending of the sands didn't seem to fit our crew and we were not sure how to incorporate the children into the ceremony. After meeting with us and hearing our concerns, Larry composed the perfect words to acknowledge all the children individually and also acknowledged that we know this marriage presents both blessings and challenges to each child. He was able to help us included the children in the ceremony perfectly . I would highly recommend this thoughtful and loving Officiant!

    Larry was such a joy to work with! He provided so many amazing tips to make the day perfect. His romantic ceremony was absolutely perfect. We had several guests come up to us at the reception and tell us it was the best ceremony they have ever heard. He really does make it so special! Michelle & Ehren

    We could not have been happier with Larry James. His professionalism was outstanding and his patience was so appreciated. We were a little stuck on some of the vows and he met with us to go over them word for word without hesitation. He made the biggest part our big day seamless and we are so happy for that.

    My fiancé and I decided to elope in Arizona on short notice. Larry was very helpful and more than accommodating! The ceremony speech he gave was very well written and added a unique and special touch. We would definitely recommend Larry to anyone looking to plan a large extravagant wedding or a small elopement ceremony like ours.

    Larry was so helpful! He met with my husband and I to explain his part in our wedding and what to expect. We were getting married out of town and Larry had no problem coming to the rehearsal and directing. He also provided a helpful script for us to review and edit to our liking. It was a great experience.

    Larry James did an excellent job with our ceremony. He was so open and helpful and did exactly what we wanted. He has a great sense of humor and was friendly with all family members he interacted with. I received several compliments from the guest after the wedding on how much they enjoyed him. Larry has such a wonderful personality and we truly enjoyed having him be apart of our special day. Thank you Larry!

    Larry prepared a beautiful ceremony for us that was just perfect. Even with both of our different religious backgrounds the non-denominational ceremony he prepared was centered around our love for each other and that was exactly what we wanted. He even provided us with a copy of the ceremony, took pictures for us, and gave us a certificate for a free counseling session if we ever need it. We would definitely recommend Larry as an officiant to anyone!

    We could not be happier that Larry James was the Officiant at our daughter's wedding last weekend in Scottsdale, AZ. He was reliable, flexible, professional and just a wonderful human being. We are honored for him to have been such an important part of this very special day.

    We are so happy that we chose Larry to be our minister. The ceremony was perfect and we really love the fact that he customized the ceremony to fit perfectly to what we wanted. We had so many people at our wedding telling us how great the ceremony was. Besides the ceremony he always made sure that everything was prepared for the wedding and always on top of things. Thank you very much, Larry!

    We would highly recommend Larry James as an officiant at your wedding. From the first time we met with Larry we knew he was who we wanted to officiate our wedding. His professionalism, promptness at answering questions and concerns, organization, and execution all exceeded our expectations. Everyone at the wedding, including my wife and I, loved the ceremony. Larry helped make our wedding ceremony beautiful and meaningful. There is not one thing Larry could have done differently. We highly highly recommend Larry James.

    Larry was everything we could hope for! Very professional and knowledgeable. His experience was very evident and all of his advice was perfect. I appreciated that Larry took his time during the interview and during the walk through to get to know us and coach us. This translated into a perfect ceremony. Many of our guest complimented him and made us aware of how good he really was! I would recommend Larry to anyone!

    I called Larry the day before mine and my husbands ceremony, and I'm so glad I did. Not only did he make time for us on his off-day, he also made it as convenient as possible for my husband and I. My family loved him, my husband loved him and so did I. He fit in just like family!

    I was a little nervous to have such a quick and small ceremony, but he made it the most memorable day of my life. Even after waiting an hour past our scheduled time (By the way- Thank you Larry, and I'm so sorry!!!), he greeting us with such a warm and comforting welcoming.

    I would recommend him to anyone and everyone, and he would be my first recommendation!! He truly is a warm person, and will do whatever he needs to do, to make sure he accommodates your beliefs, and will make everyone feel comfortable. When we have our "Wedding" he will be my first choice, theres no doubt about that!!

    Thanks so much Larry for such and amazing day! You brought out the best in everyone and everything at my wedding, and I'm convinced you're the reason our small kiss and go ceremony went so PERFECTO!!!!! Also the photo's were beautiful!!!! GRAZIE!!

    Sincerely,

    Mrs. Katherine Nichole Alraai & Mr. Abdullah Saad Alraai

    Larry was the perfect officiant for us! He let us customize our ceremony to our liking, and was sensitive to our needs. He was open and excited about doing a same-sex commitment ceremony, and so many of our guests complimented us on how beautiful the ceremony was. We wholeheartedly recommend Larry! He's the best.

    Larry James was the most experienced, charismatic, reverant, and authentic officiant of the 15+ that we talked to and met with in the Phoenix area. He made our day perfect and my wife and I were thrilled with his performance.

    From the first time we met Larry we knew we had hit a home run! Coming from two very diverse religious backgrounds we needed a ceremony that was non denominational but made everyone feel spiritual in their own ways. Not only did Larry make this happen, he did it with style, humor, and a sense of reverence that kept the guests involved from beginning to end. In addition to being an amazing officiant, Larry spent much quality time with us listening to our concerns of the many other aspects of our wedding. He provided very useful references, information, and guidance. Larry also attended our reception and provided some of the best photos of the evening! We are so blessed to have found and worked with Larry and we would recommend him to anyone!

    We used Larry James for our tunes at our wedding (3/22/03), and to this day, 10 years later, everyone we know still look back on that day, noting it was the best time ever. Larry was awesome, providing just the right music at the right time.

    A could have not asked for a better officiant for our wedding! Larry James was professional, thorough, caring, and made our wedding rehearsal and ceremony a wonderful experience. We were very clueless going into wedding planning, and he helped us design out ceremony to fit us. He also goes above and beyond by tagging Facebook photos for us right away and all of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed him.

    Larry provided a truly unique ceremony for us. He allowed us to edit the ceremony, including our personal promises, as we saw fit. We were also able to add other parts, such as the sand and rose ceremonies. He was very organized and kept us on track during the planning process. During the cermeony, he was very engaging and definitely kept everybody's attention. He made it fun as well as romantic. We received several positive comments from our guests on the ceremony and Larry himself, as he attended our reception as well. We definitely recommend him.

    Throughout our engagement, we never ceased to be impressed by Larry's diligence and careful attention to detail. From our first meeting up until the wedding day, Larry kept us on track and made us feel comfortable. We knew the ceremony would be special, but in the end it surpassed our expectations. Larry managed to make us feel like we were the only two people in the room while still engaging our family and friends. He created the perfect combination of humor, romance and sincerity. Our guests are still raving! We are happy that Larry was a part of our special day and would certainly recommend his services to other couples.

    Larry James provides the most touching and sentimental ceremony that I could find. He is a very kind and friendly man, who sits down with you and gets to know you before you sign a contract. I enjoyed working with Larry James, he is very professional and I could not have asked for a nicer and more memorable ceremony (he even got my husband on the verge of tears, which is VERY uncommon in our household). Thank you Larry, I highly recommend others give you a try, they will not be disappointed.

    Dear Larry,
    Please accept our invitational tour of Corrizo Mountain or the Navajo and Hopi Nation as our hospitality and gratitude for the Magnificient job you did in uniting us on September 30, 2011 at the Little America Hotel. We would like to arrange a weekend either in November or early January 2012. Please let us know what you feel about this. Everyone in attendance was pleased with "the sand and rose ceremony" and the proper wording in acknowledging our maker to fit our culture. We are especially happy to be the first Native American couple to experience your expert, professional and distinctive style of Art. Please contact us by e-mail and this is your friends Robert and Annaletta.

    Larry was the most amazing officiant. I am not super religious and he described me perfectly. Spiritual but not religious. His ceremony was so beautiful and that was the thing I got complimented on the most. Every single person said they were in tears with everything he said and they had never seen such a beautiful ceremony. I was so lucky to find him. Thanks Larry!

    Larry James went above and beyond our expectation of an officiant. Tailoring the ceremony to fit our needs exactly. Larry James took the necessary amount of time needed to truly understand us and our personalities to accommodate what we were looking for in a ceremony. This was the last thing we expected during our first interview (an unrushed meaningful interview with depth), we are very impressed and his reputation holds true!

    Larry James didn’t just show up to rehearsal, he participated, offering feedback based on his experience. Larry James took time to understand us which resulted in the personal touch that a wedding should have. We like to work with people who “want” to do their profession, show passion and care about their service or product. Larry James does just that and played a significant role on the biggest day of our lives. We are confident that nobody could have done it better.

Our ceremony was breathtaking and several people could not stop talking about how amazing our officiant was. He even helped me out in the middle of the ceremony as I became very emotional! Thanks Larry for making our wedding so memorable!

    Larry James was the officiant for our daugher and son in law's wedding. He was perfect, so flexible and easy going and understood their desire to create a meaningful ceremony. His ability to put folks at ease instantly, his professional demeanor, and caring attitude made him a partner in creating the wedding they dreamed of. One of the things I loved was that he took some photos and posted them the same night as the wedding. Larry is the perfect choice for an officiant who truly cares about the couples he marries.

    Larry James has a beautiful and meaningful ceremony. When my husband and I first met with him we both got a little teary-eyed reading it and we both felt that the ceremony described how we really feel about marriage. What we liked about Larry was that he was very organized and prompt, and he allowed us to personalize the ceremony to meet our wishes.

    Neil and I married on November 14, 2009. I checked into officiants early so I had no problems securing my date with Larry but if you wait too long he is definitely in high demand.
    I had gone to a wedding show and was disparaged as I felt intimidated and did not really like any of the officiants I met. When Neil and I met with Larry, we knew he was the right one. If I ever had a question, I never had any problems reaching him and we were able to speak the same day every time.

    Neil is not as religious as I am so we wanted a mixed ceremony. The Lord was there with us but the focus was on our love. We also chose to have a Hand-Fasting Ceremony to honor our roots as well as the Sand Ceremony.
    I cannot tell you how beautiful and wonderful the Ceremony was. I had about 130 people at my wedding and EVERY person stated that it was the BEST ceremony that they EVER attended. Some of our friends hate weddings due to the religious roots and others are devout catholic...to have all of them so impressed speaks volumes about Larry!!!
    I recommend that if you want the ceremony of your dreams you should choose Larry James.
    Thanks so much for Everything Larry.
    Marlayna and Neil

    Larry was so wonderful through the process of planning and doing! He provided us with information on getting our marriage license and name change, ss name change DL name change, and everything. Everyone at our wedding really enjoyed his beautiful ceremony. And even when my DJ's Mic's went out, Larry kept cool and spoke up so my guests could hear him. He took pictures and was just over all great. He was referred to me by my Maid of Honor and I will definitely refer him!!

    Brett and I got married on April 5th, 2009 at the Camelback Inn JW Marriott. It was a very small intimate wedding. Larry James was nothing less than perfect..he made everything a breeze! When we sat down for our first meeting with him we could tell he was very organized and had a lot of experience. He made it nice so we could customize our ceremony to exactly how we wanted it. My family loved him and he made our ceremony very special. Thanks Larry, you will always be a part of our special day!! Love Brett and Jeana Leonard!!!!

    Larry James was great. He made our wedding unique and fun. I picked Mr. Larry James based on his amazing ideas and how great of a speaker he was. I had been to many weddings that made hearing the officiant very difficult. No worries there with Larry James because he is an awesome public speaker. I highly recommend his services to any bride.

    I wanted my husband and I to renew our vows on our 10 year anniversary and Larry was referred by a friend. Larry was so helpful and efficient in helping me plan a surprise for my husband at a party at our home. During the process we wer undergoing a move and chaos at work. Larry kept me focused to complete the vows and plans, and without his steadfastness, I may have let it fall to the wayside. He had a myriad of options for this simple ceremony, and our friends and family gave the ceremony rave reviews! I would highly recommend Larry whether you are looking for someone to officiate your wedding or renew your vows. Larry knows the Love Business and does an excellent job in executing your every wish!

    Although Larry's services are little more expensive than other ministers, it was totally worth it. My husband and I enjoyed the ceremony so much. It was entertaining and heartfelt. We received several compliments on the ceremony itself and on Larry! Larry is professional, personable, and he has a great sense of humor. He was also flexible in rescheduling the rehearsal when we had a change of plans. He really was a joy to work with!

    Tyler and I are both so happy that we chose Larry as our officiant. The ceremony was just what we wanted - something that seemed harder to find as a non-religious couple. Also when our best man didn't have the rings at the altar, Larry had such a great idea to do the ring ceremony again right at the beginning of the reception. This made it even more special in the end and something we will always remember. I personally had several guests tell me that they were surprised and delighted at how unique and beautiful the ceremony was. If we ever decide to renew our vows, we will definitely hire him again. I will also be recommending him to anyone I know that's about to get married. We can't thank Larry enough.

    We did not want an overly religious ceremony and Larry James let us be in control of what we wanted. Our ceremony was beautiful and meaningful. Although, he is a little more expensive in the end we felt that he was definitely worth the price. He even took lots of pictures and sent us a CD. Our guests raved about our ceremony and how special it was

    Larry James was excellent. His fee was a little more than what we wanted to pay, but well worth every penny! He customized our ceremony the way we wanted it and was flexible with the wording, etc. He always showed up on time and was more than willing to talk to us whenever we had any questions. The best thing about him-we have been married for 3 years, and we are still hearing from him; to check up on us!

    Larry James did a wonderful job during our ceremony. His ceremony was so moving and different than other ones that we had heard at other weddings we had attended. He also took the time to meet with us and know us as a couple. And he sends a follow up e-mail afterward to walk you through the name changing process and he sends you photos that he took at the wedding...and they are good! Such a nice man and I would recommend using him.
