    Great Experience

    Jack is attentive, professional, and calming during the hectic time that is before one’s wedding.
    He helped us through the entire vow process and gave just the right amount of options to customize our ceremony wording.

    Worth Every Penny

    The ceremony is really important, but sometimes people want to skip because let’s face it, it can be long and boring. With Jack that is absolutely not the case. From the get-go he made us feel so comfortable and at ease. We had a Zoom meeting with him before booking him and we instantly felt a connection. He recently moved from San Diego to Arizona and couldn’t make our rehearsal, but he jumped on another Zoom beforehand to make sure we felt confident with everything. Honestly he’s done hundreds and hundreds of weddings he really doesn’t need to be at the rehearsal and it will still go as smooth as butter. He was punctual and personable. He memorized our love story and blended his charming humor into the ceremony. Most ceremonies are only about 20-25 minutes, but we incorporated several Filipino cultural traditions and it ended up being 40 minutes. However, everyone said they were entertained the whole way through and it went by so fast. If you’re not religious, no worries. He speaks to love in a way that everyone can relate to. Hands down worth every penny.

    Beautiful & Personable

    On very short notice, Jack was available to accommodate our ceremony. In addition, Jack was very personable and incorporated our responses from our questionnaire to give our ceremony a more personalized experience. We highly recommend Jack!

    Jack Hawkins - Made it possible

    My now Wife and I decided to get married last minute and put the whole thing together in less than a week. Jack was very helpful in the steps needed and even gave us some quick homework that really helped us write our vows. Jack even offered us his own backyard to do our wedding (even though we ended up finding a venue)!! 5 stars all around and he made this day very special for us.

    Jack is a Wonderful, Calming Presence

    Our wedding day was perfect, even with a few hiccups. Jack was a calming presence as we waited for the photographer to show up (he was stuck in traffic and arrived 30 minutes late). He read the biographical information we sent over to him and incorporated it perfectly into the ceremony. I would highly recommend Jack as your wedding officiant!

    Professional AND fun

    Pastor Jack made our day both special and fun. He brought a professional yet cool vibe that felt so “us”. We wanted a pastor with light and levity so that it didn’t feel too religious or serious. Jack took the time to get to know us and share part of our story in a way that brought meaning and laughter. He’s the best.

    He really gave us the ceremony we dreamt of!

    I cannot even to explain how amazing Jack was! From the beginning to the end he was good at communicating with us. He was able to perfectly include our relationship history and how we got to our wedding day. You wont have to worry about having a plain boring ceremony, he really does an amazing job in keeping the guests attention. He was great! All our guests really loved the ceremony as much as my husband I did! I loved that the morning of the wedding he went to us individually to check up on us and asked if we needed anything. Thank you Jack for making our ceremony more than we ever thought it would be!!

    Jack made our day!!

    Jack is incredible at what he does. He did such a great job and honestly knocked our socks off! We had so many people tell us after that our ceremony was one of the best they have ever attended; personable, not too long, great message. Overall, we are so happy that we were able to have Jack as part of our special day. We would highly recommend him!

    Jack is awesome!

    Pastor Jack is incredible! His communication before our big day was great, and his instructions for what he needed from us were clear. He asked specific questions to myself and my wife, such as our story and what we like best about each other, among other things, that he incorporated into the ceremony to make it a lot more personal. He also adds a humorous touch to the ceremony, which makes it more fun and calms the nerves as well. A lot of our guests were commenting on what a great job he did.

    Where Do I Start?

    Jack was incredible!
    He came 45 minutes early. He prepared an entire script ready to read. He made everyone laugh and feel comfortable. He calmed my husband’s nerves right before the ceremony. He took what we said about each other and used it in the ceremony. It made us feel like he was speaking for us! It’s everything we wanted to say to each other, but probably couldn’t, because I would have burst into tears! The best part about it was people asking “How long have you known him?” We met him the day of! People also asked “How did you find him??” Google! I am so thankful for Jack. He was absolutely spectacular and made our wedding so special. Thank you, Jack!!

    Pastor Jack made our wedding ceremony amazing!

    My wedding planner found Pastor Jack and upon talking to him, we immediately knew he was the officiant for us. I connected with him easily, he made us laugh, he loves God, and he was thorough.

    We signed up to do a premarital session with him where we answered questions in preparation for marriage and Jack shared his wisdom about making marriage last. We loved this session and really appreciated it.

    During our ceremony, he told the story of my husband and I meeting, which of course made everyone laugh, and he created such a beautiful atmosphere the way he transitioned between story telling, our vows, and the sand ceremony. I got a lot of feedback that our ceremony was " the best ceremony I've ever seen" and "we loved your officiant." ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 stars for Pastor Jack! We loved having him officiate our wedding and we're so grateful that he was there to support us on our special day! ♥️🥰

    The best ceremony!

    If you are looking for an officiant please book Jack! Our ceremony was nothing short of perfect. Jack was uplifting and put us at ease with the homework we did beforehand and really personalizing our ceremony. Everything was absolutely perfect. We had so many guests after ask for his information because he was that good. There was seriousness yet humor to it and we LOVED it! He also made it so easy and got all signatures needed and filing our certificate for us. I wish we could relive it over and over.

    Pastor Jack was Top Notch!

    Pastor Jack was an excellent choice for officiating our wedding! We researched and spoke with a few officiants and immediately after speaking with him knew he was THE ONE. He was funny, witty, super cool/chill, and understood US and our story so well. He made our ceremony special and we could not be happier with our choice.

    Pastor Jack Hawkins was amazing!

    Pastor Jack Hawkins was incredible, we’re so happy we had him officiate our wedding. I was very impressed with the way he balanced being serious/sentimental during the right times and also cracked jokes when it was appropriate. He made us laugh, he made us cry (happy tears) and did a great job of making the whole ceremony very personalized for us. We got TONS of compliments about him from our guests - multiple people told us he was the best wedding officiant they’d ever seen!

    Also, as a bride-to-be that was in total overwhelm planning a wedding, I really appreciated how easy and organized he was - he asked us all the questions about each other well in advance, and showed up early to speak with our coordinator to make sure everything went smoothly.

    I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding officiant!! He was great!

    Funny, flexible, and a heartfelt reception

    We schedule Jack as our officiant for our 2021 wedding and he was excellent! Easy to work with, steadfast, great communication and wrote very earnest and sincere stories for each of us. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking an officiant who will custom write your ceremony!

    Amazing & memorable

    Pastor Jack is a master at his craft and the ceremony he conducted for us was absolutely perfect. My wife & I had a destination wedding in La Jolla. We met Jack through a Wedding Wire search and after talking to him the first time on the phone, we actually cancelled the 2 other meetings we had with other officiants. He was funny, quick witted, and just had a natural flow with his conversation. We typed up an in-depth summation of my (new) wife & I’s relationship for him to read over before the wedding. He then took many pieces of our stories & experiences and SEAMLESSLY incorporated them into the ceremony sermon. Our guests were not only impressed, but blown away. Many asked if we had flown Jack out from our regular church in Indianapolis because of how in-depth and personable the ceremony felt. I highly recommend hiring Jack for your big day. There is truly no other pastor we would have rather used to officiate our happily ever after.

    Forever grateful,
    The Foreman’s

    Pastor Jack Came Through!

    We had an unusual situation... and Pastor Jack came through. Our son and fiance were to be married on March 30, 2020; but the wedding and reception were canceled on March 19th due to COVID-19 secure in place orders. My brother (also a pastor) who was going to officiate the wedding was not able to travel, and arranged for Pastor Jack the evening of March 19th to marry our son and daughter-in-law the next day at the beach in Torrey Pines with just the parents, a few siblings and the rest of the siblings by Facetime. Pastor Jack did an excellent job with only 15 hours notice and met us on the beach. The ceremony was personable, funny, and made for a wonderful wedding day for my son and daughter-in-law. He literally saved the day and our kids were married in a very special ceremony that they will remember forever!

    Highly Recommended!!!

    Jack is such a wonderful pastor! When my fiancé and I had to unexpectedly move our wedding up a week, Jack was so accommodating. He took the limited time he had to get to know us and work a wonderful wedding sermon that felt so personalized. Jack was so friendly and helped make our wedding special with his light hearted stories centered on God’s love. We are forever grateful for his dedication to our day. Highly recommended for any couple looking for an uplifting and personalized ceremony!

    Exactly what we envisioned!

    From the get-go, Jack was just awesome. Super responsive, and had great suggestions for our unconventional ceremony. He was very flexible with regards to timing and location. (Outdoor December ceremony had us obsessing about the weather!) He matched our vibe perfectly, with only a few interactions with us beforehand. All this & very reasonable $. We couldn’t have hoped or asked for more, and would highly recommend! 👍 👍

    Best Officiant Ever

    Jack was such a wonderful and fun officiant! We really enjoyed his sentiment, jokes, professionalism, and words of wisdom. It was a great kickoff to our wedding night and he created memories that we will cherish forever 💙. We would recommend that everyone hire Jack, The San Diego Wedding Guy!!!
