n to decide to have a wedding 450 miles away from home. My wife and I could not have been happier with our wedding officiant. He was punctual, professional, responsible, responded in a timely manner, and adapted to how we wanted the ceremony to run. I don't ever plan to get married again, but I would absolutely recommend him for people who are going to take the leap.

ent us templates of ceremonies beforehand and did an amazing job of presenting the one we finalized. A bonus was that he also greeted my husband’s family in Spanish, which meant a lot as they are only Spanish-speaking. He made sure to arrive by the time requested, and he made us feel so comfortable - like he already knew us. THANK YOU, BLAKE!! We couldn’t have imagined our elopement going any better. You are wonderful at what you do!
