ur wedding day special in every way. He helped me through the whole process, gave templates on different ways we could have the ceremony go, even gave us the option of what he should wear for the occasion. He was a delight and even came to marry us at the courthouse for our elopement before we had our big day with family and friends. Both days he made special, personalized and perfect. We can’t thank him enough. It was the best experience and you shouldn’t look for anyone else. Choose Rev. Flynn. We can’t thank him enough.

eremony, etc. From his extensive experience, he has hundreds of pages of sample scripts and ideas for your ceremony. Having a limited time to plan ours, this was a tremendous help. We were so relieved and happy with how well it went. We were nervous about having so many eyes on us, but Rev. Dr. Jeff really helped ease the nerves with his fun personality and confidence reading our script. He stuck to the script but delivered it in a way that sounded like he had known us. We received so many compliments about the ceremony and about Rev. Dr. Jeff. He makes a stressful process rather easy. We highly recommend him!

My husband and I loved Rev. Dr. Jeff Flynn. We decided not to get married in a church, but wanted a short and sweet religious ceremony at our venue. Rev. Jeff made it just that! We...
got to be apart of planning the ceremony and were able to make it personal. Rev. Jeff sent us many different templates and we got to pick and choose what we wanted to add or not to make sure it was exactly what we had both imagined for our special day. He was a great speaker and his attention to detail was great. During our first kiss, he stepped off to the side without us even mentioning it, so in our photos, it was just my husband and I. This is something that I had not even given thought to, but I am so thankful for it now looking back at our pictures. We are so happy and thankful to have found him to do our ceremony. We highly recommend Rev. Dr. Jeff Flynn to anyone who is looking for an officiant on their wedding day!

Our family and friends raved about how smoothly and beautifully our ceremony went, thanks to Rev. Dr. Jeff Flynn. He was extremely professional and very fairly priced. Rev.

hes would not perform the ceremony since we weren’t members and we really didn’t want a justice of the peace. So happy we found Rev. Dr. Jeff Flynn!

ntil a year later. He provided us with many previous wedding ceremony scripts that we could look at, along with detailed documents of ideas that we could incorporate into our own wedding ceremony. He was extremely responsive with emails. On the day of our wedding, I was taking pictures with my bridesmaids and Rev. Dr. Jeff happened to walk by us (I had never met him before in person) and said "Hi Kaitlin, beautiful dress. See you soon!". It's exactly what I needed in that moment to calm my nerves because the weather was against us and we weren't sure if we were going to be able to get married outside on the deck like we had hoped. My husband and I received so many compliments on the ceremony and on Rev. Dr. Jeff!! Highly recommend Rev. Dr. Jeff to anyone looking for an officiant!!

worked with us to create the greatest ceremony of all. He sent example ceremony scripts which allowed us to customize our own, which also gave him a chance to get to know us as a couple. On the day of the wedding, he greeted both my husband and I with a big hug and seemed so excited to marry us that day. His energy and compassion was evident as he was reading the ceremony script and he was crystal clear with his speech and annunciations.
