Ashley Sent on 02/06/2021Best Experience Imaginable!
We worked with Ardy and couldn’t have asked for a better experience! He was always willing to answer any questions and made the whole process easy!The ceremony was absolutely beautiful and afterwords we had friends and family ask us how we knew Ardy. It was assumed we had known him for a long time because he spoke so true to who we are and it felt like he known us for our entire relationship! I would highly recommend Ardy. He really made the ceremony magical for us. -

Atonn was an amazing officiant on our wedding day! First of all, he agreed to meet us at the Cat Cafe in Bowling Green for our final ceremony review. On the rehearsal and wedding day, Atonn used his sense of humor to calm our nerves. I knew that he had our backs and would lead us through everything with professionalism. I cannot say enough about him. What I told him on the day of the wedding was that I wished he could stay through the reception because I loved his energy. -

Annette Sent on 05/27/2024Amazing-thank you so much Weddings for the Ages!!
I could not be happier with Atonn and Weddings for the Ages. I grew up religious, and while I'm at a different point in my life now, wanted to honor some of the traditions, while leaving out others. My now husband and I had a plan of what kind of ceremony would make us both happy, and Atonn helped make it a reality. He made sure to verify what we were and were not okay with, and asked questions we hadn't considered to make sure everything flowed beautifully. We heard nothing but great things from our guests, and most people were incredibly surprised to find out he wasn't a long time friend of either one of us! He brought a calming, professional and natural energy to our day, and we are so grateful for that!
Thank you Atonn and weddings for the Ages!! -

We absolutely loved our experience with Weddings for the Ages! They were so helpful every step of the way—ensuring we knew when to apply for our marriage license and in what timeline which really gave us peace of mind. Atonn took the time to get to know us and what we wanted our ceremony to look like—it was truly unforgettable, our guests continue to tell us how much they loved it. It was curated perfectly for us and definitely exceeded our expectations. An enjoyable experience from start to finish, book them for your wedding! -

Oh we absolutely love Atonn! He was so compassionate and kind to us. He didn’t just officiate for us, he listened to us and helped us navigate our family dynamics. He helped make our wedding special and we can’t thank him enough for the constant encouragement. He is the best of the best! -

Katie Sent on 09/12/2022Scott = best officiant ever!
Words cannot even begin to describe how wonderful Scott was to work with. From our initial call with him to discuss all of our hopes and dreams for our wedding we knew he was our go-to choice. Scott was a pleasure to work with making us feel the most loved throughout the planning process and on our special day, he was communicative, explained things well to us and offered amazing suggestions. Having Scott officiate our wedding felt like having a member of our family there with us. He was funny, he was serious, he listened to us and our ideas and used them during our ceremony, he was all of the things you want in an officiant and more. We cannot thank or recommend enough. If you are looking for an officiant who truly cares about you and your special day as if it were their own then look nowhere else Scotts the GUY!!!! -

Tori Sent on 07/13/2022The perfect Choice
We had an unexpected change to our officiant 2 days before our wedding due to our officiant getting COVID. I honestly think that was a huge blessing in disguise. Atonn showed up at our rehearsal dinner two days before the wedding, which is where we met him for the first time. He stayed after the rehearsal to ask us many questions to get to know us very well for our ceremony. Our entire ceremony was perfect! Atonn made it very personal and also threw in some jokes to keep it light hearted. We could not have asked for a better officiant for our wedding! I highly recommend Atonn to anyone looking for an officiant! -

Melody Sent on 06/23/2022Phenomenal!
Couldn't ask for a better ceremony! Atonn was great and helped us make our ceremony unique to who were are as a couple. We met with Atonn 3 times before the ceremony and he really took the time to get to know us. After the ceremony, we had many people come up to us to compliment Atonn and how he made the whole thing fun! Our wedding day was truly amazing thanks to Atonn!! -

Jeffrey Sent on 05/17/2022Absolutely Perfect!
Atonn is the absolute best! From our first meeting, we knew he was the perfect fit for our wedding. He did an amazing job personalizing our ceremony; he took all of the information we provided to him, and really captured our story - he brought so much fun and enjoyment, while still keeping it professional. Numerous people came up to us throughout the night and told us how impressed they were by him. Atonn truly made our wedding special and unforgettable. We have nothing but great things to say about him and the whole Weddings for the Ages team! -

Brianna Sent on 01/04/2022Couldn't have found someone better!!
Atonn was very professional, flexible, and knowledgeable about everything for this being our first time with an officiant and booking him a month and a half out from our wedding! We both loved speaking with him and his suggestions we never even thought about. Wedding day is here and it rains all morning. Ceremony is in our back yard, it is a swamp... we are running late. Atonn was patient with us and made it all about us and made it perfect for us! I would definitely recommend to anyone to book with him! -

Kate Sent on 10/05/2021Atonn helped us level up!
Since our first meeting with Atonn, we knew we'd been suggested the best person for our modern Legend of Zelda wedding. He was so much fun and so easy to meet with. Though our conversations could fall off topic by shiny things passing by the windows of BG's Biggby, we were always able to recover and get back to discussing our expectations, and Atonn's plan forming as he spoke with us. He was definitely a highlight of our wedding, and we are so grateful for all the work he'd out forth, and his and Jodie's patience with our constant date changes through Covid requirements. We were able to leave out a few traditional options, and keep our ceremony quick, nerdy, and still relatable to anyone unaware of the Zelda references.
To wrap this review up, Weddings for the Ages was professional, fun, organized, patient, and everything we could have hoped for our perfectly nerdy wedding day.
Thanks so much, again Atonn and Jodie❤Weddings For The Ages's reply:
Thank YOU Kate! You and Brad were so much fun to work with - even through all of the COVID-rescheduling, and everything. We always wanted to make sure that you two were taking care of yourselves (and those adorable kiddos ❤). I'm so glad that we finally got to have the ceremony the way you wanted - Zelda theme and all - it was more fun than a barrel full of cuccos! -

Shannon Sent on 06/25/2021Can’t say enough about Atonn
I don’t even know where to start. Atonn got our personalities from the very first meeting. He was beyond fun to work with, and he put together a ceremony that had our guests saying they were so entertained they were actually paying attention to what was being said. It wasn’t your run of the mill boring wedding running through the motions. Atonn told us from the start he could be as serious or a silly as we wanted him to be. He was very professional and really made our ceremony what we wanted it to be. He made it feel like “us”. Some of our guests believed he was actually a friend of ours, not just someone we hired because he knew us so well. He really took his time to do his homework and made our ceremony extremely personalized. I’m sad our time with him is over. We would totally hang out with this guy and add him to our circle of friends. He’s absolutely worth hiring. -

Jennifer Sent on 06/14/2021Outstanding Wedding Officiant
Looking for an amazing wedding officiant? You will need to look no further with Wedding for the Age. Located in Bowling Green Ohio, we had the best experience with Ardy Gonyer. Ardy was open to our requests, but offered additional ideas to meet our ceremony vision. Everything that we could have wished, Ardy made it come true. We had an up beat - fun ceremony, but serious when it came to the vows. We are extremely happy with our choice and couldn't have asked for more. Thank you Ardy! -

Abigail Sent on 11/05/2020Overly joyed we chose Weddings For The Ages!
Ardy Gonyer was our officiant for our 10/24/2020 wedding. And we can honestly say that we were and still are absolutely THRILLED that we went with Weddings for the Ages for our wedding officiant! Our wedding planner had a few recommended officiants on her list and I am so overjoyed that I clicked on Weddings For The Ages first! Their reviews from other couples took the cake in what we were looking for in an officant! The first time my now husband and I met with Ardy, we knew that all of our hopes and plans for our big day were finally falling into place! It felt as if we had been life long friends with him in our first few meetings! Ardy was so easy to talk to, get ahold of, and get along with! We loved his sense of humor and friendliness! He made helping us figure out exactly what we wanted for and to include in our ceremony process so incredibly easy and smooth! Ardy was there every step of the way to answer all my questions and go over things time and time again! It truly was a pleasure working with Ardy! We had so many of our guests tell us what an amazing job our officiant did with our ceremony and ask where we found him! We cannot say enough good things about Weddings For The Ages! If you're looking for a wedding officiant, look no more because you've found it here! -

Corinne Sent on 11/04/2020Customized ceremony that we were able to enjoy!!
Atonn made our ceremony so personal from day 1. He was so comfortable with making sure the day was for US. As a now step mother, who really wanted to include my husband's daughter in the ceremony, it was so important to me that our officiant be flexible and recognize that our day was about all 3 of us. He went above an beyond. The moment he started talking, I was able to relax and ENJOY my ceremony. Atonn also stepped out of the center when we gave vows and had our first kiss so that our pictures turned out amazing. (Not that he wouldn't have made them amazing too) Many of our guests commented about how he fit our style so well. THANK YOU! -

We were so happy to have Scott officiate our wedding! His voice and personality are perfect for this job! He helped us out when we needed ideas for the ceremony, unity, and vows. When we met him, we knew he'd be the perfect fit for our ceremony! I'm sure every other officiate is great here too! -

I can’t even express how pleased I am with every aspect of Antonn’s officiant service! He surely surpassed my expectations in every way, delivering a perfectly customized ceremony and executing it flawlessly! Antonn was warm, funny, professional, prompt and gave me lots of personal attention. Antonn is also very affordable, he was able to work with me to choose and personalize a ceremony that was still within my budget. Thank you so much Antonn.Weddings For The Ages's reply:
Jessica - thank you so much for those sweet words! You and Jordan were so much fun to work with, even though the quarantine meant we couldn't meet in person until the rehearsal! You two have a beautiful family and an amazing future ahead of you all! -

Samantha Sent on 06/23/2020A covid wedding
We had originally booked Weddings For The Ages a year ago. Expecting a normal wedding at our venue with all of our guests. Then just three months before our wedding the pandemic hit and we were faced with the decision of what to do. We ended up changing our plans and decided on a backyard wedding with just our close family. Through the changes Michael was able to help us and accommodate our new plans. He wrote a beautiful ceremony, that was sweet and to the point, which is what we had asked for. All of our guests enjoyed the ceremony and asked where we had found an officiant. We were very thankful for our experience with Michael and Weddings for the Ages! -

We adored Scott!! He was so easy going, his words really hit home! He had to stay a bit after the ceremony to get our license without an issue. Truly thrilled with our vows. He was always available, willing to help and just really did a wonderful job. He has us, friends and family feeling the love in the air! Highly recommend!! -

Scott was wonderful in putting together our ceremony. We contacted Weddings for the Ages and started planning the ceremony way later than we should have, but Scott did not panic and helped me to remain calm. -

Where do I begin?! I recently had the pleasure of working with Atonn and I cannot say enough amazing things about him and his process with his couples. Not only does he take ample time to get to know you and your significant other, but he takes all that he learns- what is most special and important to you both- and crafts it into a one-of-a-kind ceremony that will be sure to be remembered for years to come. As a fellow wedding professional, I witnessed countless guests in tears, laughing and smiling throughout the entire ceremony as everyone celebrate this couples' love. I have never seen anything like it! If you are looking for more than just someone to marry you, you absolutely should make speaking with Atonn your number one priority!
