Best Officiant Ever, Best Choice!

The Best Day Ever Officiant was amazing!! John made our day so special. The ceremony was so personal and intimate. He took the time to get to know us before our wedding day and really listened to all we had to say and used that info to make our ceremony incredibly personal. I'm a wedding photographer, and I've been to a LOT of weddings in the past decade, but John is among the very best officiants. We eloped, and he was the perfect choice to make our day awesome. He even arrived early to scope the area out and found the best spot for us. He cares not just for the wedding day, but genuinely invests in his clients. We clicked with him the first time we met over the phone, and really feel like he fit right into our day perfectly. We didn't just get an officiant. We got a friend. If you haven't booked him yet, do it now! You won't regret it.

Best officiant ever

Where do I start, John is truly the best officiant he makes your ceremony feel so personal and your guest will feel that. I had so many people tell me how amazing my officiant is and that they want me to recommend him to everyone! Truly I would have done this anyway because he really is amazing. He made everything feel so smooth and really gets to know you as a couple so that your ceremony feels like you have known him your entire life. I could go on forever on how amazing John is but you should find out yourself and book him for your wedding! We will stay in touch with him! Thank you John.
