    The Marriage Notary & Wedding Officiant's reply:

    Thank you Kelly! I am so glad I could help the both of you on your special day. It was a great pleasure meeting both of your families. Small, intimate weddings give me the chance to meet and spend more time with a couple and I truly enjoy having that extra time. Best of luck to you both as you journey down the path that is your marriage.

    Very professional and punctual

    Jack is very professional and he takes care of all of the necessary paperwork. He has pre-written vows or you can write your own. The money is well worth it and it is a very reasonable price. Would recommend to anyone!!

    Simple, friendly & reliable - Everything you want!

    We couldn't have chosen a better officiant than Jack. He was not only organized and professional, he also had a calm presence about him that comforted both my husband and me. We knew we wanted to write our own ceremony script, and Jack responded right after I sent it to him saying it was printed and ready to go! He checked in leading up to the wedding, and he arrived an hour early to be sure we had everything we needed. He made everything so simple!

    Definitely Recommend!

    Jack was great to work with! He was punctual, enthusiastic and charming. Although we didn’t know Jack prior, he took the time to learn our love story and use that to narrate our ceremony. He also molded the ceremony to exactly what we wanted including a special reading. Would definitely recommend!

    Jack is the best!

    The decision to have Jack as our wedding officiant is one of the best that we made for our wedding. I used the sample vows from his website to draft up our ceremony and Jack even let me send it to him to look over and critique if anything odd stood out to him. From the get go, Jack was very straight forward that our ceremony should be whatever we want it to be; however long, short, elaborate, or simple we decided. If you're thinking of hiring Jack, you most definitely should!

    The Marriage Notary & Wedding Officiant's reply:

    Thanks so much Amber! I really enjoyed meeting you both and your whole family. I thought the ceremony went really well and you did a great job planning everything.

    Jack brightened our day

    I wanted to have a small ceremony and private ASAP. Within minutes, I found Jack and he actually responded in 5 minutes and verified our request. We couldn't be happier to have had him be our official. Jack is very wise an we are glad to have had him as part of our private ceremony.

    Outstanding, helped make the day!

    Jack was absolutely incredible! We had to change the time, at next to the last minute, we didn't have a ring bearer, a best man, or anyone to give me away...he walked in on absolute chaos...even my wedding dress was falling apart at the waist...he brought calm and helped my husband and I bring a sense of order to our ceremony. Which then proceeded with my neighbor deciding to mow his lawn! LOL! Jack was unfazed and with his kindness and wonderful sense of humor he made my wedding day so memorable! He brought laughter and grace...and a beautiful reading of our vows....I don't have the words to express how much we appreciate everything he did for us. I can look back at my wedding day with laughter and warmth and good tears! LOL! We recommend him highly!!! A truly generous person, with tremendous heart.

    Made the Day Perfect

    We contacted Jack about officiating our wedding ceremony and he was just wonderful. We met with him for an hour or so and he asked us many questions about our story, whatvwe imagined our ceremony would be like and took notes so he didn't forget a detail.

    I like that he confirmed the date prior to the ceremony and assured me that he would be there for our big day. On our wedding day, he started the ceremony with a light hearted love story and it really set the tone for our whole wedding. All of our guests told us how wonderful he was and how lucky we were to find him. We couldn’t be more happier. Highly recommend.”

    Quickly taking care of legalities before elopement

    Jack was an absolute pleasure to be around. We just wanted to take care of the paperwork nonsense before we elopement (much easier than dealing with the red tape abroad and special visas and such) so this dawned on us late in the game. We scheduled with pretty short notice but Jack was very fast to respond, worked us into his schedule, came out to the house and before we knew it we were sorted. Jack explained everything to us, he has a warm and friendly personality, got us married and hopefully didn't leave with any of my dogs fur on his suit. We enjoyed having him and meeting him and definitely recommend him!

    Very Professional!

    He’s truly amazing and so sweet! I would definitely recommend him! He officiated our wedding on September 28, 2019 even though he had already married us on June 23, 2019. He’s the absolute TRUTH!! Thank you Mr. Jack for being so sweet and flexible.

    Wonderful Handfasting Ceremony

    Jack performed a wonderful handfasting ceremony for us with our own wedding script and vows, exactly as we wanted it. He made everything easy and stress-free, so that our wedding was completely perfect. He is professional and friendly, very easy to work with, and we feel very lucky to have found him!

    Great Officiant Who Makes You Comfortable

    Planning and a wedding day are very stressful times. At least for me. Jack was like a breath of fresh air. Always smiling, cheerful, and letting me know that even if something went wrong it was no big deal. He is very punctual, and keeps in contact to let you know, he is going to BE THERE on your wedding day. Highly recommend!

    A Perfect Choice for Our Wedding Guide

    Jack wasn't just our officiant. He acted as guide throughout the whole process. We met with him over a year before our wedding and he gave us some great advice on planning, vendor selection, and venues. We really felt he took a personal interest in us as a couple. AT the rehearsal, he helped me choreograph the whole wedding. And on our wedding day he performed the most wonderful ceremony! He is a great guy and we consider him a new found friend, not just someone who married us.
