I booked John through Thumbtack as the officiant for my wedding and I am so happy that I did. He is not only kind hearted, friendly and respectable but also s really funny lol Booking was John was easy and seamless and he asked all the right questions and took the time out to explain the process of applying for our marriage license. We had a very mixed wedding as far as religions and cultures and John understood the assignment and did not disappoint. Even when my MIL was late with our marriage license to the ceremony and it rained and we moved to a different room, he was as cool as a cucumber. Everyone loved him during our ceremony and so did I as I wanted it to be light hearted with some humor. John also handled everything with our marriage license and the official document came in the mail yesterday, one month after our wedding to the date. I highly recommend John Wendel for any wedding, big or small!

John entertained our guests for a 65th birthday celebration for my husband on Zoom. Not an easy feat. He did his homework on my husband and had some great roast material. All enjoyed. Thanks John!
