    Reverend Joe was a key part of our wedding day!

    Reverend Joe was a big part in making our wedding the perfect day it was! He was so kind, professional, and calming. After answering a few questions of his, he put together the most beautiful script for our ceremony. It was personalized and captured the essence of our relationship. We could not have asked for a better officiant for our special day!

    So very happy we chose Rev. Joe

    Choosing an officiant was a big decision and it took some looking, but we found the perfect person! From the start, we could tell there was something very kind and sincere about Rev. Joe Wadas. He was so helpful post ceremony with any questions we had or when we needed suggestions or advice. When the wedding day came and we met him in person we knew he was exactly who we wanted to help us make this big step in our life. We are so very blessed that he was able to perform such a beautiful ceremony, and our guests absolutely loved him. He has an ability to be serious when it’s needed….this is a pretty serious matter….break the ice with humor and project his voice. I don’t plan on getting married again, but I’ll definitely be recommending him to anyone I know who’s getting engaged.

    Rev. Danny was the best!

    Rev. Joe and his associate Rev. Danny were so easy and so gracious to work with. Rev. Danny officiated a traditional ceremony in such a beautiful way that still felt personal and meaningful. So happy they were included in the Savannah Elopement Package!

    Beautiful Elopement Ceremony By Rev. Joe

    Rev. Joe did a fantastic job performing our wedding/elopement ceremony! Kevin and I were from out of town and Joe was in constant contact with us- he made sure our day was perfect and what we truly wanted. He made everything so simple, easy, and not stressful! Thank you Rev. Joe for everything!

    Such a kind soul

    Rev. Joe was beyond wonderful. He incorporated what we wanted into our ceremony and was able to make it truly our own. He was even kind enough to take care of our marriage license which allowed us to immediately leave for our honeymoon instead of having to drop it off at the courthouse the next morning!! He will not disappoint you!

    So blessed to have Rev. Wadas marry us

    I booked through the Savannah Elopement Package for my wedding day for a small wedding in Bluffton, SC. It downpoured rain our entire (outside) ceremony. Rev. Wadas traveled from Savannah to us. His presence, tone, clarity of words are unmatched. Very professional. He delivered exactly what we wanted for our officiant in our ceremony. I had multiple guests come up and compliment us on his part in the wedding. THANK YOU!!!!!!

    Loved him!!

    Reverend Joe is such an amazing gentleman. He makes you feel very comfortable and is so easy to talk to. He made our ceremony so much fun and interesting, we got so many compliments after about how much everyone enjoyed him! We got married outside and every single person could hear him loud and clear without a mic!

    5 Stars for Reverend Joe!!!

    Reverend Joe Wadas did a great job with our elopement ceremony! Being an elopement, I thought the ceremony would be somewhat generic; however, he took all the extra details I gave him about my husband and I, and used it to personalize the ceremony. He was kind, professional and flexible with a last minute change. Our ceremony was beautiful and we feel very blessed to have had Reverend Joe officiate it!!!

    Best Decision

    We decided to have Rev. Joe officiate our wedding and we couldn’t be happier with our decision. Communication was excellent from start to finish.
    The vows and prayers he chose were wonderful and he provided us with copies to keep.
    Our day was exactly what we were looking for thanks to him. We would highly recommend using Rev Joe for your wedding day!

    He makes it feel just as personal as if he’s known you for years!

    We planned our elopement very short notice and honestly didn’t even think of the ceremony until right before, but Reverend Joe took our notes and made it absolutely beautiful with plenty of sweet and funny moments in between !! We are so glad he was part of our big day!

    We love Rev. Joe!

    We eloped in Savannah on 02/20/2021 and Rev. Joe Wadas was exceptional, he contacted us in a timely manner and discussed with us both our expectations of vows and marriage. He got on a personal level with us and included in our vows special and personal details (such as the joining of our family with our children). He included Bible verses that were special to us.
    We were both very nervous during the ceremony and what I loved about Rev. Joe Wadas was that he was very warm and welcoming and he made us both laugh to loosen the nervousness. During the ceremony, we both were almost in tears of happiness.
    After the ceremony, he promptly sent out marriage certificate to our county courthouse which came back within three days making our marriage official.
    I would rate Rev. Wadas with 10 stars if I could, he was exceptional, sincere, humble, and made our marriage ceremony special with the details he included in our exchange of vows. It almost felt like he knew us even though we had never met.
    We really appreciate his service to us in making our marriage official, especially with God. We are truly blessed and I cannot thank Rev. Wadas enough for making our elopement special.

    Amazing!

    Rev Wadas was so amazing. Everyone came up to me saying how well spoken he was and how meaningful he made our ceremony and I couldn’t agree more! I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. He made our wedding so special and we are forever grateful for him.

    Wonderful experience!

    Reverend Joe was awesome. We hired him for our elopement ceremony, and he created a relaxed, meaningful service for us. He was original and not at all cringey like too many wedding ceremonies are. I loved the ceremony and he was so nice! Definitely recommend.

    Loved working with Rev. Joe

    I had an October wedding and in August I found out my original officiator was unable to officiate our wedding. When I asked a few of my other vendors for recommendations, Rev. Joe was highly suggested. Luckily for me he was available for our ceremony. He is a true professional and really made our ceremony special. We loved having him as a part of our special day. He is quick to respond and very flexible. I would recommend him to anyone looking for an officiator in Savannah.

We 100% recommend Rev. Joe! We are so blessed that we found him for our wedding :)

    Quick and Meaningful

    We eloped “secretly” just the two of us with Rev. Joe at the beautiful Lafayette Square! It was short, sweet and perfect. He was so easy to work with, highly recommend! We will be celebrating with our big ceremony later next year!

    Saved the day!

    Reverend Joe saved the day! We were originally supposed to get married in NY but it was postponed due to COVID 19. I contacted Reverend Joe 2 weeks prior to our original wedding date and he was able to make it happen, in our backyard, small and intimate and perfect. Thank you so much!

    The Perfect Minister To Marry Us!

    I found Rev. Joe via Google looking for someone specific for the Savannah area. After reading several reviews I felt he was the choice. After contacting him we texted our communications primarily and we were able to meet in person prior to the ceremony. Rev. Joe is a very personable person. He listened intuitively asked lots of questions to a pain a picture of "Our Story". The ceremony was a great- he nailed it and the words so genuine & down to earth made us both cry (even our photographer too!) I can not say enough - he matched our pesonalities and what we were looking for perfectly! Thank you Rev Joe

    The perfect storyteller

    Rev. Joe counseled my husband and I prior to our wedding (which he also officiated) and I have to say it was the best decision we could have ever made. Rev. Joe was able to get to know us on a more personal level through premarital counselling and to learn all of the intimate details of our relationship. He worked with us to understand ourselves as individuals and as a couple and also used this information to create a beautiful script for our wedding ceremony.

    We wanted a ceremony that was short, sweet and to the point as we’ve both been to weddings where it seemed the ceremony just dragged on forever and for no reason. We were pledging our love and commitment to one another, not attempting to retell our entire life story or put on a dramatic theater act.

    Rev. Joe worked with us to create a ceremony that honored our religious upbringings (and our parents) while also respecting the fact that neither of us currently practices our respective faiths. He incorporated a hand ceremony by my request and even threw in a little humor about me, as the wife, always having the upper hand. He made everyone laugh but he also brought many to tears. I even became emotional during our vows after hearing and reflecting on the beauty of Rev. Joe’s previous words which perfectly represented my husband and I and our future together.

    I could not recommend Rev. Joe enough. If you want someone who will truly make your wedding about you and your spouse and the life you are about to embark on together, choose Rev. Joe. Our ceremony was unlike any I’d ever been a part of before, so intimate and so incredibly special. I’m thankful we chose to have our wedding videoed and that we will always be able to relive those moments!
