We had the most amazing wedding ceremony with the help of John! During our cocktail hour and reception, everyone was talking about how fantastic our officiant was. Truly made for a memorable ceremony for all! Communicating was a breeze ahead of the wedding, and he walked us through everything. Provided much comic relief to a day that is know to be full of emotions. Thank you!

We hired John to officiate our wedding. He was extremely responsive, professional, and thoughtful! His intake of our info was easy, payment process also easy, and was able to think on his feet and handled the officiation in a great way considering we got rained on in the middle! Overall a great experience and easy to work with. Thanks John!

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!
