    Couldn’t have asked for a better officiant!

    Reverend John Rivera was absolutely amazing. I was nervous picking an officiant since they conduct the ceremony and I wanted someone who was professional yet could make the ceremony special and personal. Reverend John did all of that. He truly went above and beyond. For such a nerve wrecking day he made the ceremony go so smoothly- people were laughing and crying! He did such an amazing job. If you are looking for an officiant do not hesitate and hire Reverend John you will not be disappointed.

    Reverend John was a fantastic officiant for our wedding. We don’t live locally so spent some time on the phone with him and emailed back and forth. He was engaging, quick to respond and has a significant amount of experience performing wedding ceremonies, so we knew we were in good hands. When we spoke to Rev. John, he asked us questions to understand what we wanted from our ceremony and to get to know us better. We created the ceremony from scratch and only incorporated exactly what we wanted. He had us write love stories about one another which he used during our ceremony. So many of our guests raved about how personal and intimate it felt for them. He was humorous and kind and it was an honor working with him. Our ceremony went off without a hitch and we are thrilled with how special he made it for us.

    If you’re looking for an officiant who will exceed your expectations and help you craft a very personal ceremony, Reverend John is your best bet!

    Reverand John responded to my request almost immediately! He was very accommodating to our needs; we needed him on somewhat short notice and on the beach in Marco Island - no problem! He drafted a nice ceremony and provided us with a written copy afterwards. He is sincere which is important to us. (Mother Nature was not on our side that day!) We are very satisfied and would highly recommend him!

    Called quite a few officiants before finally reaching Rev. John. What a nice gentleman he is. He invited me and my fiancé to his home for a consultation. The meeting we had was so nice. We never met such a sincere person in all of our lives.
    The wedding was absolutely fantastic, we laughed we cried, there was so many elements to our ceremony. All I can say it was the one thing that went perfectly for our wedding.
    I would highly recommend Rev. John to anyone looking for a Wedding Officiant to perform their ceremony

    Pastor John was extremely charming,friendly, sincere, and professional. My fiancee was greatly concerned when our church home Pastors were obligated to previous engagements on our wedding day, but from the moment we met Pastor John we were welcomed by his warmth and kindness. From that first meeting we knew we had found the perfect fit to help compliment the ceremony we desired. I highly recommend Pastor John to perform your wedding.

    Reverend John is absolutely amazing. He is kind, caring, takes the time to get to know you as a couple, and provided great advice to help us along the way. His ceremony was thoughtful and personal and he didn't need any "babysitting" which we really appreciated. He was kind enough to invite us into his home so he could get to know us better and find out what was important to us in a ceremony. We appreciated his time so that we weren't meeting him for the first time on the day of our wedding. It was nice to walk down the aisle and have someone familiar and trustworthy perform your ceremony. The ceremony really sets the scene for the entire evening and we are so glad that we chose Reverend John to marry us - something we will never forget! He has very fair pricing too. You can tell that he officiates weddings because he truly enjoys doing it, not to make money off of couples. THANK YOU, Reverend John! We hope to see you the next time we're in Florida! - The Farinas

    Reverend John was the best decision we made when it came to our wedding! We go to a local church but our pastors were unavailable for our date...so we took the plunge on here to see what we could find...We either got super lucky or we are very blessed... because from the time we met, he was outstanding! People are still commenting on how beautiful the day was and what a great (and personalized) wedding he performed! Numerous have said that what he said really touched them...and when appropriate, he was also funny! I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants a sentimental, honest, and heartfelt gentleman to perform their wedding. He really came thru on every level...and we fell in love with him! He is the BEST!

Working with John felt like we were being married by a family member, he was sweet, attentive, honest, forthcoming, & best of all- had a great sense of humor! Thanks so much John!!!

    Let me start off by saying that Rev. John Rivera is definitely the best of the best! He is the easiest to work with. Answered all my questions and helped tremendously. Also, his sense of humor is amazing, he made sure that I will remember my wedding date. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is getting married. He will ease any last minute worries that you may have. Thank you so very much Rev. John Rivera. God Bless

    Reverend John Rivera was amazing! From the moment we called him to inquire about his services he was extremely helpful and informative. From there and each week leading up to the wedding, Reverend John contacted us both by phone and Skype to discuss the details of our wedding and even arrived at the venue two hours before the start of the wedding on our wedding day. The ceremony couldn't have been more perfect and we couldn't have not chosen a better officiant. Reverend John is professional , classy, funny, and full of life. We recommend him to anyone looking for a reverend to officiate their wedding.

    I am so thankful that we chose John Rivera to be the officiant for our wedding. He understood what we were looking for our ceremony and was truly accommodating in every way. He was kind and quick (which is what we were looking for), he was even willing to play along with some quotes we requested from "The Princess Bride" during our ceremony. We are so thankful for his advice and assistance during the whole process.

    My husband and I were so pleased with the service that John had offered to us on our wedding day. The first time we met with John he took the time to get to know "our story". On our wedding day he composed the most beautiful ceremony, including all of the details that we wanted. John is extremely professional and we would recommend him if you are looking for an officiant for your special day!

    My wife and I were very happy that we had Reverend John as our officiant. The ceremony he performed was sincere, thoughtful and well-spoken. We felt comfortable with him immediately when we had our first meeting, and he followed up with phone calls leading up to our wedding day to make sure the ceremony was just right.
