    Rev. Jim was a breeze to work with, he's a gem

    So glad we booked Rev. Jim for our Elopement Adventure. He was pleasant to work with and he made sure everything was explained thoroughly to us, from the beginning til the end. We had no doubts that getting him as our Officiant would make our day extra special, and he definitely delivered. He arrived at the venue early, and performed the ceremony with such grace. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for an Officiant in the PNW area.

    Respectable Reverend

    Jim helped us hold a wedding with a preparation period of shorter than one month. His professionalism convinced me that I am safeguarded for things that are not explicitly mentioned in the contract and it proved to be worth more than the price

    A Friendly Face at our elopement

    Jim was a blessing for our wedding and made our day truly special. He was extremely attentive and informative with all my questions I had. He calmed my bride jitters and was patient during our photos. Jim was more than a Reverend, he was a friendly and warm friend. I will always recommend Jim to anyone in and around Washington state. Thank you for being you, Jim, and hope for many more weddings in the future that you can be apart of!

    If you don't hire Jim, you're making a mistake

    Jim was absolutely incredible for our ceremony. Professional, kind, and extremely thorough. He's a delight and truly helpful every step of the way. He's very open to what you're looking to accomplish while staying strict on the legally necessary parts so everything is proper.

    Rev Jim is amazing, his communication and commitment are second to none!

    We never had a single doubt or worry that he didn't have things handled, his service is amazing and he has tons of different options available for all kinds of different ceremonies. We really appreciated him dusting off an oldy but goody for our vows it made the day that much more special for us

    Great wedding ceremony

    Rev Jim officiated our elopement on the coast. He gave us a reasonable quote for lodging and mileage, and we were more than happy to pay extra to have him officiate. He was so organized and was really flexible when we had to reschedule our wedding. He also helped us write our vows. The day of the wedding was less stressful with his help. He took care of all the documents and mailed the papers for us. All of our guests loved the ceremony, especially when he read "the day the saucers came."

    Would recommend Jim to anyone

    Reverend Jim was beyond amazing. He catered the ceremony to exactly what we wanted and it was a beautiful ceremony. Jim is very well organized. As we planned the ceremony with him, he provided his very own catalogue or resources for things like helping write vows. He also took care of almost all of the legal "legwork" for us so we didn't have to worry about a thing. Jim was super patient as well. We had a first look before the ceremony and it was a hot day with almost no available shade. Still, he waited for us to finish and didn't complain, or even seem agitated. I would use Jim again in a heartbeat and highly recommend him!

    Rev. Jim was GREAT!

    Rev. Jim was an amazing officiant during these challenging times. He worked with us to craft our personal vows, provided suggestions and really helped us understand how our ceremony was going to proceed. All of this he did in a fun and irreverent manner -- exactly what we were looking for!

    We’re so glad to have Rev. Jim be a part of our special day.

    A Perfect Choice for our Wedding

    Reverend Jim is a thoughtful and master communicator. His attention to detail makes all the difference in a successful event. Beyond an event, his personality is such that you know how much he truly cares about each couple. Each instance of anxiety or any question was answered promptly on the phone and in e-mail. The event day, he was right where he said he would be with a smile. Because we were allowed to be engaged in the process, making choices in the readings and passages, it made it so personal for us. Everyone at our micro-wedding loved him so much. He is a treasure and we will forever be blessed knowing this kind man.

    Jim is amazing!

    We chose Jim as our Reverend for our winter wedding. From the beginning he was so helpful and kind. He cared about what religious aspects we wanted to add or leave out of our wedding. Unfortunately we had to cancel due to covid. Even then Jim was so helpful and kind to us. I could not recommend him more for anyone looking for an awesome person to work with!

    Awesome Officiant!

    We highly recommend Rev Jim to other couples looking to book. He is very flexible, helpful in planning, and funny too. We dealt with multuple date and venue changes due to covid, and even last minute changes with the rehearsal. Jim was available and helpful through it all. He has resources for vow writing if you like and leaves a lot of the ceremony design input to the couple but offers help wherever needed.

    Beautiful Ceremony

    Reverend Jim Beidle did an exceptional job for our elopement! He was very easy flexible, attentive and easy to work with. A few weeks before the wedding he provided us with a rough outline of what would be said during the ceremony and it brought me to tears because I felt that it was so beautiful and well written. He provided us with the perfect ceremony and we worked with him to add some personalized touches. Photography was really important to us for the ceremony and Jim went out of his way to look up what time of day would provide the best lighting and offered to have the ceremony at the golden hour. Everything about this day was so amazing and Jim was a huge contributing factor to that. I would highly recommend him.

    Excellent!!!

    Reverend Beidle responded to all of our emails and answered all of our questions very promptly. He was flexible and worked with our schedule. Our request gave him little time to prepare (2 1/2 days) but he was very accommodating. He offered exactly what we were looking for as far as a private wedding which was reasonably priced.
    He is clearly passionate about what he does and it shows. He made us feel as though he was an old friend and that we were family. He really cares about people. We highly recommend his services.

    Perfect Elopement Ceremony!

    Rev. Jim saved the day for us! Our eloping plans fell through with COVID but he made our ceremony at home very special and I'm so glad we did it this way instead. Communication was great leading up to our big day and then he prepared the sweetest ceremony for us. It was absolutely perfect!

    Brockman Wedding 01-11-2020

    When we first met Jim we instantly knew there was something very special, loving and trusting about him. As we got to know him we found those initial feelings were true. He walked us through the nerves, the unknown and the BIG DAY. When we were at the alter I wasn’t nervous or anxious... I was 100% excited! Because Jim made us both feel so comfortable and like family. I feel like I’ve known him my whole life. He made our big day perfect and a ceremony I will be so happy to brag about for the rest of my life. Thank you Jim!!

    Amazing officiant

    Jim is a professional reverend with a great sense of humor. Wedding planning is anxious, but Jim had been very helpful from the very first meeting till the end of our wedding day. He's very professional about everything a couple needs to know about the ceremony and very responsive with any questions in the email. We had a great experience having Jim marry us, and it was an unforgettable memory in our life.

    Excellent and valid wedding officiant

    I am very thankful I came across of Rev. Jim’s name. I had a hard time looking for an officiant thru the lists that the county gave us. Those are not updated. Rev. Jim answered his phone right away and entertained my queries professionally and scheduled me to my date requested. He is very flexible, he could go to wherever location you wish to do your special day, for us, he came to our home all the way from his home to Mount Vernon. He even gave me suggested theme and places for our special day. He has packages of his services and what I love is transactions was all set online. Very trustworthy! It was perfect!

    Santa Jim-- amazing!

    Santa Jim was incredibly professional the entire time working with him. My mother in law was skeptical about being married by Santa (she's very religious ans traditional), but she absolutely loved him! Our guests were delighted to have Santa perform our ceremony and even more excited to take photos with him during cocktail hour!

    Wonderful Wedding Officiant!

    I couldn't recommend planning your big day with Rev. Jim Beidle enough! We met with Jim on two separate occasions to discuss the ceremony. He took the time and care to make sure it was personal and memorable. We ended up with a non-religious ceremony, and a perfect mix of sweet and funny (just what we wanted) but if a religious or tear-jerking ceremony is what you are going for, he can do that, too. He showed up early to set the stage and meet the DJ to make sure everything went smoothly. Our wedding was full of changes and surprises, and Jim rolled with all of it with professionalism and good humor. Afterwords, we received several compliments from our guests about how fitting he was for our mountain-set wedding. Thank you, Jim Beidle!!

    Warm, supportive and professional Wedding Officiant



    From the first meeting with Rev Jim Beidle, Steve and I felt good about selecting him as our wedding officiant. After listening to our relationship and engagement story he was able to send us a wedding ceremony sample based on our preferences for a small, backyard wedding along with useful suggestions for helping us plan a wedding in two weeks time! He encouraged us to personalize the wedding ceremony by making any substitutions or subtractions to the template he felt would best suit us. We made a few adjustments and were felt happy with the ceremony he helped us create.
    Rev Jim Beidle’s supportive and warm demeanor contributed greatly to putting us at ease and making a memorable wedding day! I feel grateful that he was an email or phone call away for every step of the way. Thank you Jim for being the special person you are!

    It was such a pleasure working with Jim for our wedding! Jim worked very hard to make sure everything was perfect for us. I really liked how well he worked with the other vendors to make sure everything went smoothly. Jim was very patient in explaining to us all the details for each step - attended rehearsal and arrived early on the day of, and talked to us before we walked down the aisle. Thank you Thank you!!

    Reverend Jim and his team were a pleasure to work with. They listened intently to what we wanted, suggested ideas or improvements, and more than that, it was like we were in a family dialogue, not a business venture. They took care of all our wishes.
    The prices were the most cost effective in the area, and I did a considerable amount of research. Though we wanted a short ceremony with no guests, Rev Jim will fill whatever your needs require.
    We highly recommend Reverend Jim Beidle and his troop for your special day. If we decide to renew our vows sometime in the future, we will not hesitate to call him again.

    Jim Was Amazing. We had so much fun at our service, it was exactly what we were looking for. Professional yet light hearted. I highly recommend Rev. Jim as he sincerely listens to his clients desires and goes above and beyond to accommodate.

    When my original officiant was not able to be there for me, Jim was able to step in and take control. He was very reliable, easy to talk to, and has a very amicable personality. My husband and I are very grateful Rev. Jim was available!

    My husband and I were very picky when it came to choosing an officiant. We wanted someone who would understand our humor and be able to seamlessly fit into our special day. We met with Jim about a month prior to our wedding, (Yes, it took us that long to find someone we REALLY liked) however, Jim was perfect! He was relaxed, kind and best of all had a great sense of humor. Obviously on your wedding day you can plan for a lot, but you can't plan the weather. Needless to say it started raining just early enough to get everything really muddy and didn't stop until after the ceremony. During this time Jim never once complained or tried to sway us to moving the ceremony to a covered area, which I really appreciated because I already felt bad having people stand in the the mud and rain. Jim stood in the rain with us and even opened with a joke which helped everyone loosen up. He had the perfect words and the best attitude. I am so thankful we found him to marry us, I don't think we could have found anyone better if we tried.

    Rev. Jim Beidle looked so wonderful on our big day, wearing tradition white robest (he gives you options of what you'd like him to wear!). The service was God-based just like we requested and it was so beautiful (I cried!). He has a great sense of humor and was very professional. We loved having him as one of the most important parts of our big day and we couldn't be happier with how it all went! Thank you, Rev. Jim!!

    Mr. Beidle was amazing! We had a very nice, short and sweet ceremony(just like we wanted). Plus he put his Santa suit on for us!
    We eloped and wanted to share the news with our families at Christmas so when I stumbled across Jim I knew he was the one for us! He suited right up after the ceremony and took pictures with us and our fur baby. It was perfect! Definitely made our special day even more special!!

    THANK YOU SANTA(;

    The person we originally asked to officiate our wedding backed out, and Jim was happy to step in and take care of us. We had a meeting before the wedding to talk about us and our lifestyle, and what we wanted out of the ceremony. Jim then emailed us a draft of the ceremony, and was very accommodating of any changes we wanted. The ceremony he designed was creative, unique, and exactly what we wanted for us and our families. We aren't religious but some of our family are, and he was able to put together a ceremony that encompassed our feelings on our marriage while being inclusive of our family's beliefs.

    He was timely and easy to communicate with throughout the entire process and very helpful on the wedding day. We would recommend him to anyone looking for officiant services for their wedding.

    Heart Warming and Memorable

    Jim was not only a integral part of our big day but a warm guiding mentor through the sometimes overwhelming process of planning a wedding. His sense of humor, patience and quick wit helped to make our day truly one of the most special events in our lives.

    We highly recommend his services to anyone looking to go the extra mile in making their wedding perfect.

    Once in a lifetime experience

    Jim's calm demeanor in the moment of "chaos" gave us much confidence. He patiently walked us through the process and explained everything right before we were able to take the center stage. While on that stage, we felt the power of his words when he gently squeezed our hand, matching the rhythm of the blessings and vows.

    Pastor Beidle was very accommodating with our wedding and his experience showed when he conducted the service. We had a hard time with communication but we would definitely recommend him to others! He was wonderful!

    I hired rev. Jim back in January. Upon booking, we specifically requested he be at the rehearsal dinner. This was put into writing in our contract that he would be there. He then told us he would be unable to attend the rehearsal because he booked another wedding for that day (during the rehearsal). He did offer alternatives to a rehearsal (extra meetings), but it wouldn’t work out for me because most of my wedding party wouldn’t be there at these ‘meetings’ (all my guests are from out of state). I did not understand the purpose of having extra meetings if it didn’t actually contribute to the rehearsal. I did not receive my deposit back despite the fact that he was the one who broke the contract (couldn’t attend rehearsal). His response was very curt and felt petty when he tried to explain to me. I was very upset but oh well, as he told me ‘this is a standard industry practice’, so I suppose I should get used to being ripped off.
