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!

If I could choose all of the qualities above, I would. CJ was very responsive from the beginning all the way up to the wedding and even after with any questions or concerns I had. He had no problem discussing the details of the wedding with my maid of honor. The wedding ceremony was short, sweet, to the point, and perfect for us. Everything went smoothly, even though I chose not to have a rehearsal. He was also not judgemental, didn't ask me a ton of questions about previous relationships, or try to push anything on us, which was a relief and compassionate as well. I was very pleased with CJ's professionalism and services. I would definitely recommend him if you are needing someone to be your officiant!!!! Excuse the quality of the camera picture. I will try to upload a better one once I get photos back from my photographer!!!

CJ saved our wedding when our original officiant had a death in the family. He agreed to help us two days before our wedding. He took our script and ran with it, and even learned our hand fasting ceremony the morning of. Great personality and made us feel at ease. Thank you soo much! We are grateful for you.

We had to book CJ last minute due to a problem with our original officiant. He stepped up and helped us in a pinch and stayed in touch the entire 2 weeks before our ceremony. We even had a little joking moment during our ring exchange and made that much more memorable. So glad we chose him.
