    So thankful throughout the whole process

    We are very thankful for having Jim be a part of one of our most special days. The ceremony was short and sweat, which is what we wanted, but had great impact and meaning. We had people saying how much they could relate to his words. He made the process easy and the ceremony memorable. Not to mention that Jim was very flexible and accommodating to our schedules when prepping for the big day.

    Thank you Jim!

    Amazing officiant!

    Jim was the best choice that we could have made for an officiant. He was incredibly accepting, and welcoming, and our ceremony turned out absolutely beautiful because of him.

    Jim was fantastic!

    From our first conversation with Jim, we knew we had to hire him. He was so kind, professional, and warm! Speaking to Jim felt like a virtual hug, and he made us feel completely at ease. He also kept emphasizing that he would lead and we just had to show up, which is exactly how it went! He helped us put together our script, and made sure we chose a reading that felt personal. Overall, Jim did an amazing job officiating my wedding, and made the entire process stress-free. I couldn't recommend Jim enough!

    Best Wedding Officiant in SW Florida

    This was truly the best day of our lives and thank you so much for your help in making our big day so special. Jim did a wonderful job of helping us express our love in the best way. He is professional, knowledgeable and truly cares about the couples he works with. I would recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant in the Naples/Marco Island area. Thanks again!

    A Beautiful Day

    Jim was such an amazing addition to our day. From the beginning, at booking, reading all of his glowing reviews from other couples is what really made us make the jump to hire him. I had grown up religious and my husband was not so he was that perfect blend for us. Every conversation with him leading up until the day was so joyous and love filled. After the ceremony, guests were coming up to me saying how beautiful the ceremony was and how incredible our officiant was. Throughout the ceremony he would give us simple cues so that we know what to do and when which helped us just be present in the day. The whole ceremony was beautiful and flawless. Thank you Jim, for an amazing day.

    Jim Burch Wedding ceremony

    My Husband and I spoke with several other officiants before we found Jim. Immediately after speaking with him my husband and I both knew he was the prefect fit for our wedding. He had multiple options (religious & non-religious) and was very accommodating to fit our needs. He was very calm and organized. Every time we would talk to him it felt like we were talking to an old friend. The ceremony was beautiful and the perfect amount of time. He went above and beyond and we couldn't thank him enough!

    Our Special Day On Marco Island Florida

    Jim Burch Performed our wedding ceremony on May 6th. It was a destination wedding for us as we live in Scottsdale Arizona. We interviewed several people to perform our ceremony and Jim was by far the most organized and made us feel right away that he was the right choice for our wedding. The ceremony was perfect and his message was beautiful. I’d highly recommend him!

    Jim Made our day EXTRA Special

    Jim was the 3rd officiant my husband and I spoke to regarding our wedding commencement. We instantly knew we wanted to hire Jim. His professionalism, energy and kindness was evident immediately. Jim provided us with multiple reading choices (religious and non-religious) and was very accommodating to fit our needs. We also met a week before our wedding to make sure we we on the same page, which really helped! The day of, Jim was very organized and prompt. The ceremony ended up being the perfect amount of time. Also, Jim traveled to us more than an hour, which was much appreciated! Our day would not have been the same without him!!

    My Fairytale Union

    All my life I have dreamt about marrying my prince and on December 30, 2022, I DID!! Minister Jim Burch officiated our wedding and he knocked it out of the park.. we are not a religious family, I am spiritual but my husband is an atheist through and through.. Jim gave us a some different options of what he could say on our special day, not too many options but also not too few.. when he spoke of love at our ceremony, it truly felt like he had know us all our lives and had personally experienced all of our very quirky love.. my husband and I were so incredibly grateful and blessed to have Jim officiate our wedding, my whole family and every single guest was thrilled with the kind and thoughtful things that he said.. THANK YOU JIM!! WE LOVE YOU!!!

    Pulled off the perfect wedding

    I lost track of how many times people came up to me after the wedding saying how much they loved and connected with Jim’s sermon and ceremony. He was professional, kind, flexible and a welcome addition to our wedding. Even when we had AV equipment issues during the ceremony he took it in stride and kept the ceremony going with little to no interruption. He also took the time to visit with people after the ceremony and my dad (the son of a pastor) thoroughly enjoyed speaking with him. He was a hit and was happy to help us design the right ceremony for us. We consider ourselves exceptionally lucky that he was willing to officiant our wedding and would highly recommend him.

    Perfect quick notice COVID wedding!

    We like many couples this past spring had to make the hard choice to change our original wedding plans. We still wanted to get married though, so we called up Jim and just about instantly had a date and a plan! He made it so easy for us from the deposit to the gorgeous location behind his house (such a nice hidden oasis!!) and a ceremony so much more thoughtful than we could ever have asked for! Really though he came up with such a thoughtful and sweet ceremony for us non-religious types who he had never in met before! It felt personal and made the day everything we could have asked for, even though it was far from the original plan. We would ABSOLUTELY recommend Jim as an officiant!

    A joy to have him :D

    Jim was wonderful. As a bride that has a religious family to please,
    he did a flawless job speaking on love and respect while not getting so traditional.
    We had many guests (religious family members included!) rave about him and that he was
    a pleasure to listen to! He was lovely to work with and I have been recommending him to everybody!!!

    Jim Loves His Job!

    It was obvious that Jim loves what he does. He walked two people who had no idea what they were doing into a wonderful program. And he delivered a rock star performance. I'm amazed at the patience level he has as well as the skill and enthusiasm. I'm so happy he was part of our day!

    Simplified ceremony design

    Jim is a true professional, and he made our ceremony planning process as easy as possible. He's so experienced that he has a couple of ceremony blueprints based on the vibe you're going for, and each blueprint comes with options to tailor the ceremony for each couple. We supplied our own readings and used one of the vow options Jim provided, despite our initial desire to write our own. We had a beautiful ceremony and it was exactly what we hoped it would be.

    Jim was amazing

    We first picked Jim back in November 2020. Jim was our officiant and we absolutely loved him! We didn't meet him until the day of but he walked us through everything before we started the ceremony and made sure we were comfortable with everything. We had so many guests come up to us saying what a wonderful ceremony it was! Couldn't recommend him enough!

    Love in a time of C*vid

    Jim was great to work with. Even with our wedding changing due to the pandemic, he still made time to come to our new venue and officiate our elopement. It was a beautiful service and I highly recommend him.

    Outstanding!

    I am a Buddhist, and my husband is a Catholic, and we just had a mutual quick spiritual wedding ceremony at Top of the Town Arlington couple of weeks ago. We found Jim from our venue recommendation list, and we can why he was recommended. We hired Jim to be our officiant, and he sure did an excellent job as keeping our ceremony short and sweet as we asked him to. He gave us choices of "wordings", and we were able to choose one that fits us the most. Even though we did not have a rehearsal before our wedding, but Jim made sure that everyone in our wedding party stand, and line up like they supposed to. He made OUR wedding so smooth, and we cannot thank him enough.

    Perfect wedding thanks to him!

    Due to the pandemic, we had a very small wedding and having Jim officiating made the wedding felt so enriched and full of love and happiness! He is very helpful during the entire process including answering our questions promptly, making sure what needs to be prepared and what to do to make the wedding went smoothly. Everyone enjoyed the wedding and we truly appreciate that! Highly recommended!

    A wonderful officiant for a wonderful day

    He greatly helped us out quite a bit. He talked to us at multiple points to help guide us through the process and how to personalize the wedding program. He is a wonderful speaker and he was supportive of our different cultural traditions.

    Jim is wonderful!

    We found Jim through our venue's preferred vendors list. He was wonderful to talk to and really won us over with his kindness and passion for weddings. Jim does a great job communicating and has a lot of different options for what can be said during your ceremony. Jim's ceremony was wonderful at our wedding. He kept the crowd engaged and made sure that we knew what to do. One of our favorite things that Jim did was print out our vows in a larger font, then hold them across from us (all out of pictures way - trust me!) and guided us as we read them. This was so helpful, especially because you really don't know how nervous you get when it comes to speaking in front of a bunch of people trying to tell your significant other how much you love them - ha! He also allows you to read your own if you do not want to go with that option. Another thing that we loved that Jim did was he prints out a nice version of a marriage license for you that is much more decorative than the one you get from the court house. There is room for your bridal party to sign it as well, which our bridal party loved. Overall, Jim did an absolutely amazing job and our guests are still talking about how great he is. My husband and I highly recommend him!
