Best officiant service out there!

Brandon was our officiant for our wedding day and he was absolutely wonderful! We received so many compliments on our ceremony and how it was conducted with such warmth and joy. All thanks to Brandon!! Brandon and Walter both brought us so much comfort during the planning process. They were both very responsive, professional, and kind. I would highly recommend Wah Joy to anyone!!

Walter was absolutely amazing and added exactly what we needed to our elopement ceremony.

Water was very communicative, allowed us to create our own ceremony script, was very unbiased and judgement free of what we wanted to include and exclude from our ceremony. He also provided templates for you to create your own comments and edits as a starting point. Offered a create marriage building experience. Walter also allowed for us to choose his wedding day attire. 10/10 recommend. Pinned photos by www.kalenaphotography.com.

11/2/2024 Wedding

We were in need of a new officiant as our previous one was no longer able to marry us and we were lucky to find Walter available for our wedding day. Not only did he take the time to get to know us in a very short amount of time, he made us feel at ease during the process of needing to find a new officiant 5 days before we were to be married. I couldn’t recommend him enough and our guests loved his personality and humor!
