For our wedding, one of the most stressful things to book was an officiant, due to state requirements. He made it easy and took time to get to know us. He also sent us a copy of the ceremony script for approval prior to the wedding day to go over!

What a great experience!! CJ was attentive to our needs and our requests. He is the best! I would recommend him to anyone seeking a small intimate wedding. He arrived ready and brought his wife to serve as our second witness. Very helpful. I am truly thankful he was available when we needed him!! Carol

CJ was phenomenal! The ceremony he put together for our non-traditional wedding was a tear jerker. Easy going and a great sense of humor. He made us feel at ease and the entire process was effortless.

CJ was fantastic as our wedding officiant. After one phone conversation, we felt like he knew us and what we needed for our ceremony. He is well spoken, and knows how to command a room with his words. We had some iffy winter weather leading up to wedding day, he checked in with us regularly, and allowed us to know the ceremony was one area we didn't have to stress or worry about even without being able to have a rehearsal because of the weather. If you're having trouble finding the right person to officiate your wedding, or wanting someone you can trust, hire CJ!

Hiring CJ as our wedding officiant was the best choice! He is very personable and made the process of putting together a ceremony very easy and fun. We had three pre-marital counseling sessions with him and he gave us so much great advice. It was also awesome to get to know him better before the wedding day through those sessions. Thanks for everything CJ!
