We hired John to be our officiant and he exceeded our expectations! We wanted a light hearted , personable, and funny ceremony and John went above and beyond. He had my husband and I laughing so hard that it actually helped my nerves. My friends are still talking about the ceremony! He made our wedding day so special that I wish we can get married all over again! To anyone reading this-hire John!!
