Saved our wedding day!

John is quite the amazing officiant. We had everything lined up to get married on top of a mountain in the Olympics when our previous officiant couldn’t make it. Days before our wedding, my husband, found John online. He was very responsive and in a short time we had everything lined up and our wedding would continue on our preferred day. John, his wife, and their beautiful pup hiked the 3.6 miles up- and back down, to Mt Lena on one of the hottest days we’ve had this year. John is extremely professional, charismatic, and was a joy to be married by. Without him, our wedding wouldn’t have been the same!

Wonderful!

John was very professional. He was able to roll with the punches from rain to music difficulties. He continued to help roll the wedding forward and made it a wonderful experience.
