I just want to say that John was an awesome officiant at our wedding ceremony. He explained the whole process to us, provided great suggestions and was flexible in adding new elements at the last minute. He was at the venue on time, gave a great ceremony and totally got what kind of vibe we wanted for our ceremony. His personality fit great with ours and even joke, which our guests responded very well. It was also evident that he enjoys what he does and it was great to see his wife accompany him. I couldn't have ask for a better officiant and I would recommend John without any reservations. Thank you John for delivering exactly what we wanted! You are awesome!

My husband and I wanted to say thank you for your service it was a pleasure. My family loved the wedding ceremony it was personal and precious. Thank u so much......:)

John was wonderful!! We couldn't ask for a better wedding offficaint he was charming, funny, and very professional.

Minister John Rivera was our wedding officiant, and made our day extra special. He was professional, courteous to our guests, and his humor won the day in our opinion. We can't imagine a better suited wedding officiant. John was flexible, met our needs perfectly, and we wholeheartedly endorse him for your wedding. Kristina & Stephen

John is very easy to work with, he has a great personality and sense of humor. He really made our wedding day very special. Highly recommended.

it was a pleasure having John as our minister. It was a beautiful, short, romantic, and strongly worded ceremony and it was exactly what we wanted and his price was very reasonable for us specially in such a short notice and he was very flexible with the timing. He made our dream wedding possible and I would highly recommend him.

John was an amazing officiant. He included everything we wanted in our ceremony and made it not only traditional, but fun, for our guests. He showed up early and worked with our entire wedding party, including parents and grandparents, to make sure everyone knew exactly what to do during the ceremony. All this planning really paid off and our ceremony was fluid and exciting. We would highly recommend John for anyone looking for a compassionate, professional and fun officiant for their wedding.

John was excellent. He helped make our special moment extraordinary. The words he chose and the way he spoke made the ceremony so lovely. We also requested a copy of our vows and the poetry/ reading he had read, which he mailed to us promptly. I have been to many weddings and have never seen a officiant more professional than Minister John Rivera.

Minister John was funny and very fast to respond to any questions I had. He and his wife are very welcoming and I would recommend him to any one looking for a minister.

Excellent, professional and remembered and pronounced our names. We hired him for our wedding and the way he spoke of us during our ceremony people thought he was a friend of the family. Awesome job.

We are very grateful to John for his service. Him and his wife made our wedding day very special. We just felt comfortable and pleasant. They accommodated all our needs including short request ( we got married two days after I called John) with no problems or hassle. John! Thank you very much!

We were very extremely happy with his service. We would highly recommend to any one that needs a very good service from a very nice and professional person.

Minister John Rivera did an AMAZING job officiating our wedding. My husband and I visited his home initially for a consultation. Both him and his wife were very welcoming and we felt comfortable and confident that he would be the perfect person to officiate our wedding. We told him details about how our love grew and developed through the years and he was able to encapsulate it into the perfect ceremony the day of our wedding. Our ceremony was personalized by him just for us and told our love story perfectly in front of all our friends and family. He really helped make it the best day of our lives. You can tell that he genuinely loves what he does and it shows in his work and the way he officiates. He communicated with me days after the wedding to also check in and offer well wishes. It was honestly a pleasure working with him and we are blessed to have had him be a part of our special day.

Sincerely, John J. Rivera Wedding Officiant

John and his wife Lori were great. I would highly recommend them. We had a great experience and they made our wedding very special. However and whatever we wanted to do, they did for us..Thanks John & Lori.. Sincerly Kim & Pierce Butler

He was insightful helpful and pleasant in a very limited amount of time. He welcomed us into his home with his beautiful wife and daughter and guided us every step of the way. The audience was very happy with his speech poem and we were more comfortable than could imagine with his guidance through the sand ceremony in which he added a very heartfelt speech. Recommend to anyone in any situation. He puts his heart in his work

We had the honor of having John Rivera as our wedding Officiant. He was absolutely fantastic we spoke over the phone a few times and through email. We told him what we wanted and we chose the ceremony we wanted and he did an amazing job! He performed a beautiful ceremony for us!!

After spending hrs and hrs searching for someone to officiant our wedding , we finally came across Reverend John Rivera s website.with a quick respond he was able to help us and gave us some ideas , since we were planning a small ceremony, good service, right on time, John Rivera is a very nice person we were so happy after the ceremony..i recommend anyone..

John did a wonderful job! We could not be happier, and for WAY less than others!

John performed a beautiful ceremony! our families were so touched and we had such a memorable wedding. We would absolutely recommend John to our friends. Many, many thanks!!! -The Davis'

I found John through Wedding Wire and was impressed by the reviews. I met with John and was very happy with everything he had to offer. He did a wonderful job during our ceremony that exceeded our expectations. My husband and I would highly recommend John to any couple that is looking for a simple, yet meaningful ceremony.

My husband and I were married on Dec. 30, 2012 and John provided us with a ceremony filled with aloha. He shared our story with love, laughter and made our wedding truly special. Mahalo nui (thank you very much) from the bottom of our hearts.

My husband and I are from Australia, and we decided to get married in The Ladies Pavillion in Central Park, New York City. I was looking for an Officiant and found John Rivera. Instantly I knew he was the one to perform our ceremony, I phoned him and booked the day. We met John on our wedding day, I asked him to perform our ceremony with what he thought, and we had natural reactions of his kind words and humour. I would recommend John's services, he has a lovely nature and will tailor make a ceremony for you. He sent me lovely email to see if we arrived safely back to Australia, and if we ever return to New York he also offered to be a tour guide, Brooklyn style. Very sweet. All the happiness to future brides and grooms.

He was friendly, funny, and professional. He made it a wonderful and easy experience.

Our wedding was december 2nd and John made our ceremony perfect! His words were touching and memorable. Thank you John, for making our day so special!!

There is something about John that is very calming. He made sure that he was available for any questions from the day we met him. Although he was a little late the day of the wedding, John delivered a truly beautiful story about us. He made our ceremony sweet, short (about 25 minutes), funny (had our guests laughing), and personal. We couldn't have asked for anything more! What we really liked about John was that he was "real" and did not give us that "sterile" wedding feeling that other officiants did. Not he mention, his rates are very affordable and won't break your break. Highly recommended!

John conducted our ceremony in the midst of the hurricane sandy which we really appreciate and also he helped us to personalize our wedding to make it memorable. He also wrote a poem for us and waited patiently since we were getting a little off the schedule. We would definitely recommend him to everyone who wants there ceremony to be a memorable one.

I use this vendor as my wedding Officiant. He was early and had patient because i did not ready and he did not rush me.if i had it to do again i would use him.

*one word = AMAZING* John and his wife were fantastic with the ceremony. They make you feel like a family and was very well organised. Although the bride (her fault, haha!) was well over an hour late for the wedding they stayed and were very very considerate and helpful making a joke of the lateness to keep the crowd happy and cheerful which was brilliant. John recommended the "Ladies Pavilion" in NYC central park for our ceremony and it was the most beautiful location to have our wedding. We could not recommend them higher, a fantastic husband and wife team that make your special day, extremely special. Thank you so much guys - Marcus and Cherry!

John made our wedding day extra special and we were honored that John and Lori were a part of it. We met with John several times prior to our wedding and he customized out story without missing a beat.... Each time we met with John he made us feel as if we had known him all our lives. All of our guests told us what a beautiful ceremony John performed.... If you are seeking a wedding officiant John is the one to select.

John provided us with an excellent service on our special day. We couldn't have hoped for more. He custom tailored the service to our own love story. Not to mention, John traveled almost 2 hours for our ceremony! Thanks so much John. We'll recommend you to anyone we come across.

My fiancé and I signed a contract with this vendor in early 2012, three weeks before my wedding I contacted him to set up a time to further discuss how the ceremony would be conducted and to read the passages that would be spoken. After a phone conversation that ended in us scheduling a time to meet, I am extremely disappointed to say that this vendor wrote me an email a few hours later backing out. His reasoning was that he didn’t want us to read the passages before the ceremony. I picked this vendor because his services were inexpensive and flexible. Flexible in our mind meant reading the passages beforehand to see if they were a good representation of us as a couple. I guess you pay for what you get because he continued to write unprofessional emails (e.g. saying he saved my wedding from being predictable and hum drum). I am still confused as to why he says that he’s flexible to meet our needs, but then backed out because I asked him if I could read the passages that would be read at our ceremony. Even in the most conservative religions, passages can be seen beforehand. I just don't get it. Also, after several reminders it wasn't until I told him I will be exploring court options that I received my deposit back. It took a month to receive the deposit and we live in the same town! Again, you get what you pay for. I am in no way saying not to use his services, I am writing this review to inform you of my personal experience. It was very upsetting, costly and stressful to have an officiant back out three weeks before the wedding. That added stress was not worth the affordable price!

John is super easy to work with. He did a amazing job in my wedding.

John was such an amazing addition to the most special day of our lives. He made our guests laugh and cry and he really touched our hearts. What a blessing to send us off into our lives together we could not have been happier!!!!

I found John through Wedding Wire and based on all the reviews he was my top choice to be our Officiant. My husband and I met with John and were very happy with how he was so open to making the ceremony fit us as a couple. Though we decided not to have a personalized story told, it felt as if his heartfelt words were written by someone who's known us for years! He did a wonderful job, that exceeded our expectations. With that, I find out today he was running a fever the day of our wedding and, with such professionalism, still came to perform our ceremony. My husband and I would highly recommend John the "Wedding Minister from Brooklyn" to any couple in the NYC are looking for a simple, yet meaningful ceremony.

My ceremony was amazing and I owe it all to John. From our initial meeting, my husband and I felt welcomed by John and his wife. Our first meeting took place at his home and John offered to pick us up & dropped us off at the train station because we didn't have a car. His wife was very friendly and they made us feel at home. During our meeting John asked us a bunch of questions about how we meet and what we love about each other. Every ceremony performed by John is personal and made just for the couple. That is the main reason we decided to go with him. John incorporated our own vows into the ceremony as well. On September 1, 2012, John made our day extra special, everything was amazing. We are truly happy that we made the decision to go with John. He has a great personality and sense of humor. If you are looking for a minister that is down to earth and personal....John is your man! Our marriage certificate was filed right away and we have already received it in the mail. We only have great things to say about John Rivera and his wife. My husband and I recommend him 100%. Did I mention his prices are very reasonable! Sincerely, Negesti Jones

John was an incredible officiant; professional, charming, and very easy to work with. He helped me and my new wife pick an incredible place in Central Park to hold the ceremony that we wouldn't have likely found on our own. I highly recommend John whether you are going to have a small intimate ceremony, as we did, or a large event.

John was the perfect Officiant foe our wedding. He was very easy to talk to, he honored our requests 100%, he told our story very well, we trusted him to come up with what he thought would fit our ceremony and it was perfect, we were very happy that he chose John. I would suggest using his son for the wedding videos also, the quality of the service far exceeds the cost, they are super and very affordable, thanks John.

John made our wedding day so special. Our family and friends were raving how great the ceremony was and that they always fell asleep at every other one. John really took the time to get to know us as a couple. He read our love story and it really touched our whole family. You will not be disappointed in his services!

John and Lori was absolutely wonderful to work with from the very beginning. Everyone (and so did Eddy and I) enjoyed your speech that John did for us. It was very touching and you definitely put together the story of us and the personality of us in the speech. Everyone enjoyed and were able to get a good laugh (just like how we would want it) instead of it being so cut dry typical wedding ceremony. You are a wonderful officiant and I would definetly recommend you to anyone who needs an officiant. Thank you so much again!

If you are searching for an officiant within the 5 boroughs of New York City, let me save you some time and effort! My husband and I are from North Carolina. However, his 7 year old daughter lives in Queens, and her birthday is August 1st. Since we were going up for her birthday, and the most important thing to us for our wedding was having our children present, we decided to take my 20 year old daughter with us, and have our wedding on the Brooklyn Bridge on August 5. We knew planning a wedding in NYC from NC would present some obstacles, like finding an officiant, photographer, etc. I e-mailed several officiants, some of who never replied, but the Wedding Minister of Brooklyn replied immediately. I was impressed right away!! We e-mailed a couple of times, then spoke on the phone. He actually took the time to find out exactly what we wanted for each aspect of our wedding, and went to our wedding website to read our story and get to know us. He even had ideas and suggestions for some things we were unsure about. He understood that having our children there was the single, most important thing, and having the wedding on the Brooklyn Bridge at night with the skyline lit up was second most important. When we got to NY, he met came to our hotel and met with us, and spent over an hour getting to know us and formulating the perfect wedding. He has an amazing personality and sense of humor, that it put everyone at ease, including me, the very anxious bride. He spoke of his own wife very often, and I could tell he loves her very much, and that in itself told me that our wedding was as important to him as it was to us. We already knew at that point, that there may be some bad weather to hinder actually doing it on the bridge, which is always a possibility with an any outdoor event. Needless to say, we did have a backup plan, which was the beautiful arched walkway through the Municipal Building, at the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge, at 1 Police Plaza. With the intricate, stone architecture, it was the perfect, second location. However, the minister put forth every effort, right up to the very last minute to have it on the bridge. He was already on the bridge before I even got there! Unfortunately, our worst fears were realized when a horrendous storm came up. Not just a little rain, a downpour with lightening, wind, you name it. He called me immediately, we were just about there, and said he would be set-up and waiting in the plan B location. I was on the verge of devastation when I arrived, and things were feeling very chaotic, as you can imagine. However, the minister, along with his wife shooting video, and his son doing the photography ( I will get to that in a minute), immediately put me back at ease with their positivity and professionalism. I quickly remembered the most important thing, both of our children were there, in addition to that, so was our parents, and my dad was giving me away, along with a few amazing friends. So instead of turning into Bridezilla, I took a moment to count my blessings. The ceremony, with a few minor hiccups, turned out very nice, mostly because the minister performed our ceremony like he had known us for years! A stranger wouldn't know any different! After the ceremony, he, his wife, and son walked us through getting some amazing photos, and even managed to still get some with the skyline. Now to the photography and video. I did many searches online to find someone, and they were all crazy expensive for what I was wanting. I wanted simple video of just the ceremony to show friends and family back home, and a handful of beautiful photos. This was not a huge ceremony, with only very few people in attendance, I didn't need something greatly elaborate. However, I still feel like I got that anyway! I e-mailed the minister to ask him if he knew of a photographer, being from the area, that didn't want an arm and leg. He replied back that his son is a photographer, and would be happy to shoot the wedding, photo and video. However, because of tightened security on the bridge when it came time, large professional video equipment wasn't allowed, so his wife shot the video with a hi-def handheld. At this point, I am awaiting photo and video, while they are doing their thing to them, but I already know I am going to be happy with them, just what from what I saw on the camera at the time. I honestly believe my wedding wouldn't have been nearly as nice with a different officiant! E-mail him before spending a lot of time looking elsewhere!

John did a amazing job and said such beautiful words it literally brought us all to tears. Our wedding was on a hot day in 14st Union Square but Mr. Rivera certainly took our minds off of it with his beautiful poem and He was worth every penny and then some! He put so much work into his kind words and really melted our hearts. Mr. Rivera added to our very special day and we will never forget the work he has done to make our wedding special and even more unique. Thanks so much John!!

My wife and I definitely would recommend Minister John Rivera to anyone looking for a professional and experienced officiant. John went out of his way to meet with us just so that he could gather unique and personal information for our ceremony. On the wedding day, he arrived early and was friendly to all of our guests. John wrote and performed the ceremony beautifully. We felt his words were truly from the heart, which kept the audience's full attention! Thank you so much for being a big part of our wedding, Minister Rivera.

John was an excellent officiant. I was really impressed by the way he performed our ceremony and would recommend him highly. We are very thankful to John for making our weedding one of the best days of our lives. Ines & Jeff Masaquiza

Officiant John Rivera and Family It truley meant a lot to gary and I that you, officiated our wedding. it was a wonderful service you provided for our wedding. Not only did you make our special day unique from any others, but you also made it special for all of our guests. We received many compliments on your sense of humor and the wonderful stories you told about us. Those stories gave our guests whom we don't speak to often an insight on how Gary and I came together. We receivied wonderful compliments right after you and your family left . Your service was excellent and you composed yourself very well. we can heard our guests laugh at the stories you told. But also you brought a personal touch to our wedding ceremony that brought tears to not only our eyes but also our family and friends. how comfortable you made us feel on a day when we were already excited and anxious You made a great impact on the whole ceremony. I really wanted to let you know we are very thankful for your service, and that if anyone else gets married we are definitely going to refer them to you. You made our day special, loving, and personal. We cant thank you enough. Thank you so much ! Love, Gary and Evita VanSciver

I cannot sing John's praises enough. He and his wife were absolutely incredible. John took so much time in getting to know me and Ken as a couple our history and what we saw as the vision for our ceremony, and then made it even better. He spent time with us discussing what was important to us in a ceremony, the wording we preferred and was even so kind as to offer a blessing on our rings! The ceremony he prepared for us was beyond what we could of imagined it was perfect. My family is still talking about it. John was very detailed oriented, he was there early (even though as the bride I was about 20 minutes late)! John never rushed he took his time in delivering an incredibly memorable service. We could not of asked for a better officiant. He really made a huge difference. I will never forget the fabulous service he provided and I and my new husband recommend him not just whole heartedly but whole bodily! (is that a word)? Sincerely, if you are looking for the most personable officiant and the most personal ceremony, you have to go with John. John, Thanks again from the bottom of our hearts!

John and his wife were great!! We are from DC and were eloping in NYC with only a hand full of close friends and family so we didn't get to meet him ahead of time. We weren't even 100% sure on the location in the city. It was a little nervewrecking not having a rehersal or knowing what to expect from our officiant. But after taking with John over the phone a couple of times, he put me at ease and allowed us to just enjoy the excitement of our adventure trusting everything would work out wonderfully. It did!! John and his wife helped make out wedding day magical as people gathered to take pictures and watch us tie the knot at 'The Ladies Pavillion' in Central Park. (upon John's suggestion) Everything turned out better than we could have hoped for. I strongly recommend you employ John and his wife to help you make your wedding as magical as ours.

We're very pleased we had John Rivera as our officiant. On July 1st he made our wedding ceremony unique by telling our love story. He made my guest laugh as well as wipe away tears of joy. Carlos & Jeannete Surita thank you from the bottom of our hearts. In five years we plan to renew our vows on a tropical island,save the date John it wouldn't be the same with out you!!!

John made our day MORE than special. He and his wife attended to our every need, rolled with the usual day of craziness, and delivered the most special, personal, and sincere service I could have imagined. Our family loved him, our guests loved that he kept things moving and kept things light, and his personal touches were classy and sweet. If you look elsewhere, not only will you be throwing your money away, you will be losing out on a truly wonderful experience.

We were looking for someone who was affordable and who would provide a beautiful service for our wedding day. John did a wonderful job. We would certainly recommend him to anyone!

John was the perfect minister for us and our ceremony. He was such a warm and welcoming person and made the entire process very pleasant. From the time we first spoke with him on the phone he has always been very kind, warm-hearted, funny and a pleasure to deal with. His is very flexible in the ceremony planning as he will work completely around your plans, or, like in our case, help you customize a ceremony to your liking. He provided us with ideas that would get our families involved and make the ceremony more intimate and special. He will be able to provide a ceremony to your liking and will do his absolute best to make the ceremony unique and special. We are very happy with John and could not be more pleased with having John as our wedding minister. We would definitely recommend him to any and everyone getting married in the future.

He was my wedding officiant for my wedding on June 2, 2012 at Studio 450 in the city. I have to say that he was absolutely amazing!! He had a great sense of humor and he was very personable. He made our ceremony lively and I would definitely recommend him to any couple within the tristate area. He is very flexible to the point where he will travel. He was great, great, great!! I can't stress that any more.

We were scrambling for an officiant at the last minute and thankfully came across John Rivera. He was so pleasant to work with, responded right away, check in on me several times before the ceremony and was willing to travel a bit to the site where my fiance and I had chosen. He totally understood that this location held a lot of meaning for us. He also understood our desire for a simple ceremony and catered to this perfectly. His wife was also so helpful, taking lots of pictures and sending them to us later. Thank goodness for John Rivera! We were very lucky to find him.

Minister John Rivera was an absolute delight! We had a very intimate wedding at home and he made our ceremony just as special, personal and heartwarming as any large ceremony. With his easy going matter, his sense of humor and professionalism, along with his own personal marriage poems he made our wedding a comfortable pleasurable day to remember. We were blessed to have him as part of our special day! We will be looking forward in re-newing our vows with you down the road….bless you and thank you so much!!…Jana and Ralph

We really enjoyed our wedding ceremony with John! He did an excellent job and prepared a wonderful, unique and very personalized speach for us! He was very flexible since we changed the location only a few days before the wedding. We had a Beach Wedding in Brooklyn. He answered all our questions immediately and it was a pleasure to have him as our minister. We really can recommend him to everyone who wants to have a heartwarming, personal and unforgetable ceremony! Thank you John, for making this day so special!

John was very helpful and thoughtful. Couldn't have asked for a better ceremony or nicer minister. Recommend to anyone who wants a memorable wedding ceremony.

John was great! Professional, friendly, funny and helped reduce our stress about the wedding ceremony. Everyone thought it was a wonderful ceremony. Highly recommended.

Minister John Rivera was absolutely delightful to have as our wedding minister. Prior to the ceremony, he took the time meet in person to get to know us and our love story, which he used to really personalize our ceremony. He is a very warm, friendly person and it showed throughout the ceremony, our informal gathering and multiple phone conversations. My wife and I could tell he has many years of experience with weddings, as he had many great ideas and suggestions for our wedding, and he was able to share with us lessons from weddings he had done before. He was funny, but always kept it very classy and professional. He was also flexible and accommodated all our needs, including last-minute changes without charging us more for little changes. We definitely needed someone like that!! Would definitely recommend to all my friends and everyone!

John Rivera was outstanding and we recommend him highly!!! He was both professional and entertaining and our experience was one we shall always remember as he added that special touch! Most appreciative of your services John....Jeris & Nitosha Dickerson

From the moment I met John, I knew he was the officiant for my wife and I. He welcomed us in his home and with no pretense or superficiality, he really took the time to get to know us which was reflected in his beautiful ceremony that he and his wife wrote for us. My guests loved him we loved him. Professional, touching, caring, humorous. These words best describe John and his approach to what he clearly loves to do. AND you will not find a more affordable officiant on the internet which says A LOT about who he is. He has so much to offer and if you are reading this, you should take the next step and meet with John.

We got married yesterday and while we are so busy we did not want to wait to write John's review. He was wonderful. We gave him a 5 on everything minus professionalism only because we did not feel like we or he was at work! He made us feel relaxed. He had a great loving personality. It was wonderful the first time we met he came with his lovely wife. It made us feel right at home and she listened to everything we said just as much as he did, which made it double the service. He told us from the start that he was going to make it special and personalized but we were not insanely picky so we were not too worried. But he pleasantly surprised us again when we heard the the ceremony. He added lovely, not over the top poetry that even allowed us to focus on its beauty in the cold. We had a cold weather outdoor ceremony and John was right by our side asking if the bride wanted to wear his robe to keep warm. You can really tell he likes to write and make people feel what they are going through. Thank you John for being so flexible and open with us it made our day all the better.

John J. Rivera was very good with his work and his professionalism was excellent. He was also very detail with his work. We were very happy with his service and love to recommend to newly couples. Thanks again, Wei

I was planning a last minute wedding for my niece and her fiance and needed an Officiant. I went online and after reviewing and interviewing several Officiants, I chose Rev. Rivera. He was professional yet compassionate in giving my niece and her fiance the service they were looking for. He was easy to reach when we had questions. He interviewed them in a timely manner and wrote personal vows for them to treasure for a lifetime! Rev. Rivera provided exceptional service and my niece's wedding was a success! I would definitely recommend him to others!

We hired minister John Rivera for our 15th Wedding Anniversary Vow Renewal Ceremony. He took the time to learn about our relationship & our family & created a very personalized ceremony that included our children. All of our guests made very positive comments about the professional and heartfelt manner in which he conducted our ceremony. We would not hesitate to recommend him for any wedding type of occasion!!!

John Rivera is an outstanding officiant. He was happy to officiate our wedding atop the Brooklyn Bridge in November! He really took the time to get to know us and made our ceremony a personal one. I wouldn't change a thing!!!

John was amazing as our wedding officiant, first off he listen to our needs and adjusted his services to meet our expectations. We were extremely happy with him as our wedding officiant and he made our wedding a day to remember. During our wedding there were a few poems he read to reflect us as a couple, which made the day even more special because we felt he knew us even after just meeting us a few times. His words were powerful and we couldnt ask for anything more, to this date he follows up to see how we are doing as husband and wife, which is something you dont get now of days...It was truly a blessing for us to have him apart of our special day and wedding.

John was an amazing candidate for our officiant. He took the time to make it all about what we wanted. He is a great listener and also is very responsible and dedicated to creating only the best results. We all enjoyed his company and are so grateful we had the honor to have him in our wedding ceremony. John and Lori are very passionate with their work. We want to thank John and Lori again for the beautiful ceremony they gave us. Sincerely, Pedro & Elizabeth Freire

John and his wife were so wonderful, my ceremony was so so personalized you would have thought they were long time friends or family. John personally interviewed my husband and my self a. X we did not expect how beautifully he tied our love story into our ceremony. I think highly recommend him and his wife. There are a great team to help andle what's supposed to be the best day to start your journey of marriage....... Sincerly Rick and Elizabeth

Pastor rivera came to my home to do the consultation he was warm and genuine. He also has a passion for making two hearts become and will be the the perfect addition to any wedding he looks good in wedding photos as well
