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

Wonderful officiant and person to work with!
We felt so fortunate to have found Jim, after searching and meeting with other officients. He had a really nice process and structure to how he would officiate, and how he could help us put together our own vows. We really enjoyed working with him, and he made our day a big success. He was very flexible, and open to hearing our input as well. He went the extra mile for us on the day of as well, which we are forever grateful. He did an awesome job running our rehearsal as well. We highly recommend Jim to any other couples out there!
Weddings with Rev. Jim Beidle's reply:

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

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.

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!

Thank you for your kind words, Nick! You and Morgan were a joy to work with, and visiting Mount Ranier National Park is always a pleasure. I wish you both 10,000 years of happiness!

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."
Weddings with Rev. Jim Beidle's reply:
Thank you, Samantha! I'm happy to have served you and Kevin. Your Rialto Beach elopement was a lot of fun! I think we were all delighted with the cool and misty Washington Coast morning during the worst heatwave we had ever seen.

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.

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.
Weddings with Rev. Jim Beidle's reply:
I am over the moon! Thank you so much, Barbara!
When she approached me about her Micro-Wedding at Confluence Park a few months ago, Barbara had many questions and concerns. Most of her early questions seemed to center around the "Marryin' Sam" image of professional wedding officiants, a mainstay of romantic comedies. We addressed each question as it arose and proceeded through my step-by-step process of discovering and developing their ideal ceremony. Finally, one fine Spring day in May, we met in the park, and I married this delightful couple on the Mayfly Bridge in a fun, beautiful wedding that brought together all their family. Congratulations, Barbara and Jeremy, and thank you so much for your kind words!

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!

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.
Weddings with Rev. Jim Beidle's reply:
Nicole, thank you so much for your kind words. You and Nick are an absolute joy to work with, and Peace Arch Park offers so many beautiful places to hold a small ceremony. I wish you happiness and peace in your future together.

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.

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!!
Weddings with Rev. Jim Beidle's reply:
Thank you so much, Kait! You and Nick are indeed an exceptional couple, and it was my joy to help you prepare for your wedding. I wish you many incredible adventures in the years ahead. If ever I can be of service to you or your family, give me a ring! All the best, Rev. Jim Beidle
