    Friendly service

    Gordon immediately made my husband and I feel at ease. Being so nervous about public speaking he did his best to bring humor and quickness to our ceremony. It was much appreciated.

    Was very friendly and professional and added a bit of humor to the service!

    Couldn’t be happier to have been married by Mr Gordon, he offered a very simple but classic service and broke the ice with a tad bit of humor. We loved it!

    A wonderful experience

    My fiance and I were looking for a simple ceremony in Savannah and Gordon was everything we could have hoped for and more. At his suggestion we chose to get married in Forsyth Park on a beautiful October day. With met with him the day before for a cup of tea and chatted for a while about what we were looking for: a casual ceremony with just the three of us. Gordon was easy to communicate with and very punctual. Thanks so much for making the day all the more special!

    Very personable!

    Mr. Gordon was such a pleasure to have at our wedding. Me and my husband were very nervous because we had no clue what to expect and mr. Gordon made us feel better with his generous heart and honest spirit. Mr. Gordon also contacted us and made sure we were always on the same page and I really appreciated that. Hes funny, sweet, and will make your special that perfect. Thank you so much mr. Gordon!

    Short and Sweet

    Gordon was such a sweet and nice man, and happy we got to have him marry us! He came and endured the Savannah heat and made the ceremony exactly what we wanted, short and sweet! I highly recommend him to anyone wanting a nice and easy ceremony!

    Mr. Varnedoe was an excellent wedding officiant and we couldn't have been any happier on our special day...he was very attentive to our messages and wishes and made my wife and I feel very comfortable, as there was a bit of pre wedding jitters...we're so blessed to have met such a great person and it was a true honor to have him marry us...highly recommended!

    Professional and Entertaining.

    Gordon was the most personable, funny and courteous towards everyone in the wedding party and ceremony. He was always on time, early as a matter of fact, and he accommodated our desires of what we wanted to do. His humor lightened the atmosphere and his personality was contagious. He was very professional and experienced and would recommend him for anyone's ceremony.

    Amazing Experience!

    I was a little hesitant to book an officiant online, so I requested to meet Mr. Gordon before committing to a contract. As soon as my fiance and I met him, we knew he was the perfect officiant for us! He was funny, professional, prompt when emailing us, and a joy to work with. He made it clear from the start that he was here to help us and cater the ceremony to who we are as a couple. We couldn't have picked a better officiant for our ceremony. It's clear that he loves what he does, and he was so fun and easy to work with! If you're looking for an officiant in the Savannah area, Gordon Varnedoe is your man!

    Savannah Simple Celebrations's reply:

    Haley and Jared - Thank you for your nice review ! It was my pleasure and honor to be your Officiant . You were a terrific couple to work with and I wish you both my very best for years of happiness .

    Sweetest, Kindest, and perfectly funny officiant

    I can't say enough about Gordon. We selected him because I read that he is so flexible on any style of ceremony. Ours was quick, traditional vows and just a touch of comical. Gordon responds so fast to every message and checks in with you along the way to make you feel comfortable. He had our audience giggling within seconds of the ceremony starting and you could just tell how much he absolutely loves this work. You would have thought he knew us our whole lives but in fact he physically hadn't met us until rehearsal day! Go with Gordon. He listens to your dream day so well and makes it a reality.

    Wonderful Officiant!

    Gordon made our day perfect! He responded quickly to our request, graciously accommodated a last minute time change (tip: don't let your children "clean" near your marriage license! Ours was put in a basket under folded towels & took us an hour to find the morning of the wedding!) Gordon was so exceptionally kind and patient with our big family. We are very thankful he was there to marry us! We wrote our vows and Gordon helped us remember them, blessed our rings and family and made it a wonderful day for us.

    Warm and friendly addition to our special day!

    Gordon was very fun to work with, and was prompt with replying to messages and phone calls. He had great advice for us when we told him we wanted to write our own vows, (first marriage for both of us), and even attended our rehearsal dinner the night before. I would recommend him to any couples getting married in the Savannah ga area, he is very familiar with many of the beautiful venues here and can give great advice prior to day of!

    Just Awesome

    Gordon made our ceremony exactly what we wanted, simple and welcoming. We had nothing to worry about because he took care of us and because of the trust we gave him he gave us the ceremony as we had imagined it. He took the time to meet every member of our wedding party, providing an experience to everyone. He is a kind, professional, and became one of the family immediately. He is a wise pick for any couple who want a classic and simple ceremony and celebration.

    One of a kind officiant!

    Gordon Varnedoe was a pleasure to work with, he traveled a long way to officiate our wedding in Hilton Head Island. Mr. Varnedoe was energetic, enthusiastic, and had many years of wisdom which made us feel very comfortable to have him be the person who joined our union. We could not be anymore pleased with our officiant and friend Gordon Varnedoe! You will not regret having him there on your special day!
