Reverend Giovanni

Rev G & Sheryl are not only good at what they do they are also super nice and interesting people. We love how Rev G helped us make our ceremony our own, and we got a lot of compliments on it from our guests.

our day was perfect and our ceremony so special with Reverend Giovanni there!! he is a great friend and a wonderful officiant. couldn't have been happier to have him!! he is a fine officiant with very fair prices.

Reverend Giovanni is very laid back. He performed a lovely civil ceremony. We didn't require a lot of pre-ceremony instruction, but appreciated his humor to defuse our jitters. Also love his filing the marriage certificate for us. One less thing for us to do. Thanks for your special words completing our special day.

Rev Giovanni was very professional & made us feel comfortable with everything! Highly recommend.

Thank you to the Rev and Sheryl for helping to make our day SO special! He helped us create our ceremony easily and made sure to walk us through the process so it represented both of us. Couldn't have asked for a more perfect day!

Fantastic! I come from a Jewish and Catholic family, my fiancé (now hubby) comes from a Christian family. We need help with a ceremony that stayed very neutral. Rev Giovanni was wonderful, professional and very personable. He got to know us, worked with us to write our perfect ceremony. We were able to customize everything we wanted in the ceremony. All of our guests raved about the ceremony being very us and their interactions with Rev. Giovanni. Couldn’t not recommend him more!

Rev. Giovanni made our day so special! We were able to completely customize our vows and ceremony using his workbook and we could incorporate as much or as little religion as we wanted. He also made sure we were aware of all the next steps to take for name changes and the marriage license. We highly recommend him!

Reverend Giovanni for our wedding was great! He was very flexible with our schedule, especially because of COVID. I loved his wedding workbook to create our personalized ceremony. A very helpful guide when you don't know where to start or how to write a wedding ceremony. Plus we added a fun Wine Ceremony part! Thanks Rev G

Rev G is awesome at what he does! He has been in the business for so long and it shows! He's capable of doing simple to elaborate ceremonies and can help you at each step. Whether or not you know what kind of ceremony you want, Rev G will help clarify any questions or concerns you may have. He was at the venue early to ensure he was on time, provided excellent service, and helped make the ceremony go smoothly. You cannot go wrong with Rev G!

We had a small intimate ceremony at our house. Reverend Giovanni was prompt and made our ceremony lovely. I would highly recommend his service.

Wonderful!

Are you looking for someone that knows what they are doing? An expert in their field - that is also so kind and wonderful. Look no further than Rev. Giovanni. From the planning of the ceremony he is so knowledgeable and helpful. He has a booklet that lets you pick and choose sections that fits you and your partners vision for the day. During the ceremony he’s polished and professional with just a pinch of humor to lighten the nerves. Thank you again! You made our day special and they stuck with us even during the COVID-19 crisis. If that doesn’t show how dedicate Rev. Giovanni is to making your wedding a success I don’t know what else can. Not to mention the value you are getting here you won’t find anywhere else. Go ahead and book! I promise you will be so happy you did from planning to the ceremony. (Sheryl his assistant is also amazing!! They are quite a team. Absolutely flawless)

We had a wonderful experience with Rev G. He was very accommodating and extremely helpful throughout the whole process. He made our big day less stressful and that much more special! Thank you Rev G!

Reverend Giovanni and his assistant Sheryl were great! I loved that we were able to customize our ceremony completely and that he was very understanding and accommodating when I had to make some changes last minute. On the day of, he was very clear and knew just the right tips to give us to ensure everything went smoothly. Sheryl also took some beautiful photos for us, just as a guest. We would definitely recommend Rev. G to anyone getting married in Phoenix!

Rev G was the best to work with. We met with him at his office where he got to know us. He customized our ceremony perfectly. He’s done hundreds of thousands of weddings and knows what he is doing. The ceremony was beautiful and everything we could have hoped for.

We loved reverend G. He was so passionate about helping his couples and really set us at ease for the wedding. He was easy to get ahold of and he made it easy to customize the ceremony to us. Would absolutely suggest him to anyone.

Rev Giovanni was perfect for our wedding he was able to do the traditional parts in our ceremony and let us customize the rest. It was intimate and meaningful at the same time making us laugh. He helped us get through our ceremony and directed us every part of the way including what supplies to get and where we could go buy. Very affordable compared to others in the area. Also helped us coordinate a Spanish portion in ceremony with one of our guests!

We were able to pick each and part of the ceremony with the “workbook” of ideas given. He was early to the wedding and happened to notice we had a unity candle sitting out(which we forgot to tell him about when we sent over our ceremony). He quickly added it in for us and everything ran flawlessly

The ceremony we envisioned! Simple and sweet. Rev G provides a workbook of ceremony words that you get to choose so you can create the perfect ceremony. He was prompt and professional. We definitively recommend!

With Reverend Giovanni, we instantly connected! My husband and I felt at ease when he was explaining our ceremony options. He made our ceremony customizable and we loved it! We think every couple should have Reverend Giovanni for their wedding! You won’t be disappointed!

So easy to work with and laid back. Rev. G. has done weddings for 30 years and it showed. He led our ceremony flawlessly and even got in some extra humor at the end. Definitely recommend him!!!

We had the best experience with Rev G! I would recommend him to all of my friends and family because he was so great. He’s really funny as well! Our guests really enjoyed him and made them laugh. He also allows you to choose exactly how you want your ceremony to go and this is what I really liked about working with Rev G. We sent him our Vows the night before our wedding day and he was super accommodating. His assistant Sheryl is also very helpful and we really appreciate everything they did for both of us! Thank you for making our day so perfect.

Rev. G is amazing! I have already recommended him to someone, and I will continue to do so for anyone looking for an officiant. He was there for us every step of the way on our big day. He made us feel comfortable, and he was funny too! I couldn't have asked for a better officiant.

We got married with Rev G. He is extremely professional and very quick with his emails and communicates very well! He is so friendly and checks in with you on your wedding day to go over everything you need to do/say. He's awesome! Definitely recommended!

Rev Giovanni is the best. We had a great time and a great ceremony.

Reverend Giovanni was the best officiant we could have ever asked for. You choose the path your ceremony follows so everything is personalized and special. He is absolutely hysterical and has a very quick wit. He keeps the ceremony flowing and upbeat while still making it heartfelt and loving. We were going to write our own vows but after reading some of the options provided by him we used the templates to create something super special and unique. All night long our guests kept complimenting Reverend Giovanni and how unique and beautiful our ceremony was. I would highly recommend using his services.

Rev G was exceptional right from the very beginning. He's experienced and has spent his time mastering how to tailor ceremonies to specific couples, making it your own. He and his assistant Sheryl were both so helpful and I couldn't recommend them more!

Made the ceremony better than we thought it could be. Was able to customize our wedding to exactly how we wanted to and he added some great humor into it as well.

Rev Giovanni is the perfect officiant and we cannot recommend him enough. He just married us a week ago on 4/13/2019 and he helped make our wedding very special. You get to personalize your entire ceremony and he walked us through on how to do that. It was a perfect way for my husband and me to take a break from wedding planning and pick exactly what we wanted for our vows and ceremony. The day of, he arrived early and told us what we would expect to do during the ceremony. He was well spoken, professional, and humorous at times-which we loved! It helped ease the nerves of being up in front of everyone. Our guests went on raving about how he performed a beautiful ceremony! His wife, Sheryl even took some photos during the ceremony. It was fun receiving those while we wait for our photos from our photographers! Again, me and my husband cannot recommend him enough! Thank you Rev G for an amazing part of our wedding! -Theresa and Clay King

We’re so happy we chose Reverend Giovanni as our officiant for our wedding. I love that we were able to fully customize and create a wedding ceremony that represented us as a couple. It was so easy to use his workbook and design our ceremony. On the day of, Rev G met with us and our family to make sure we completely understood what we were to do during the ceremony. This was definitely helpful! Overall, it was definitely a great and easy decision to choose Rev G.

Funny and professional all mixed together! He did a fabulous job of making us the focus but brought some great attention to the event! Would highly recommend! Thank-you for making our day so great!

rev Giovanni was great!!! made the wedding and rehearsal fun. loved that he checked in with us before to make sure we were ok and reminded both of us to breathe. :)

Flexible, Fun, Personalized Rev. Giovanni and his assistant kept in contact with us regularly, reminding us of all the tasks we had to do in terms of vows and in name changes, etc. They also gave us space when we were still deciding on a few things. They drove up to Pine for our wedding and were patient as we thought it would rain and as we were delayed by about an hour. The Reverend emphasized we use our own personal choices in our vows, was incredibly flexible, and - I believe - enjoyed what turned out to be a sunny, breezy, beautiful spring day without a drop of rain in the ceremony at all!

So glad we picked Reverend G! He was very helpful and knowledgeable. He provides you with a ceremony workbook which allows you to customize your ceremony. We thought his rate of $249 was very reasonable. Highly recommend!

I was really worried about having vendor/professional regret for my wedding. But when I met Rev. Giovanni I felt 110% confident about my decision. He speaks well and is so experienced he puts you at ease immediately. I definitely recommend him, our families thought his service was great!

We were very happy with the service provided by Rev G. We had to find an alternative officiant about a month out from our wedding and he and his wife worked with us to give us the service we wanted. It was nice because he let's you pick everything he will say that day, which was exactly what we needed.

We found Rev. G. through theknot.com. We were most excited to see an officiant with so many religions listed. This was perfect because I came from a Jewish background and my husband came from a Mormon background and weren't quite sure how we wanted to approach a ceremony with traditions while keeping it fairly non-denominational. He was so knowledgeable and easily helped us create the most beautiful ceremony ever. All of our family and friends said it was the perfect length, content, and fun. He also thinks of everything, so when I realized i left my vows in the dressing room, he had them printed out and ready for us to read from his workbook! Thank you Rev. G!

Reverend G and Sheryl are the best! So many different options to customize our wedding and they were so helpful through the process. Absolutely recommend them to anyone getting married!

Rev G was amazing! We are so happy we decided on him to officiate our wedding. We were able to customize our ceremony to fit our wants and needs . He was quick to respond with any changes we had to the ceremony script. Rev G and his assistant Sheryl arrived early the day of the wedding. They touched base with both my husband and I to go over last minute details. It made us both feel at ease to know we were in good hands! I highly recommend Reverend Giovanni!

Wonderful job working with my whole wedding crew including the kids. Guest enjoyed the ceremony. Big thank you for coming all the way down to Blythe CA for rehearsal and the big day. Everything worked out great.

Amazing! The best out there. Personalized ceremony, quick responses, attentive, reliable, beautiful ceremony words; so professional. We had the best experience and would highly recommend.

Amazing service! Was very accommodating and helpful with our translator for our bilingual ceremony. We absolutely recommend having Rev. Giovanni at your wedding, he will make sure everything goes on smoothly.

Look no further because you won't find anyone as professional and personable as Rev G and his awesome assistant Sheryl. They are a dream team. My husband and I were so happy with our experience from start to finish. Rev G will take the time to meet with you in person and go over every detail of your wedding ceremony & personalize it to make it exactly what you're looking for. A few of our vendors (dj, photographer) have known Rev G in the wedding business for many years, and they were all so excited to see him again at our wedding. He's a real gentleman & true professional who will make your big day everything you've dreamed of. Sheryl even captured some beautiful photos of the ceremony! With all the stress that comes along with planning a wedding, rest assured that Rev G will make everything run smoothly. Highly recommended!

My husband and I are both in our early 50's and wanted to have an officiant that could represent both of our backgrounds at our wedding. Rev Giovanni and Sherry were extremely easy to work with and helped us craft a ceremony that had sufficient religious and secular leanings to make it very personal for both of us. It was a wonderful, joyous ceremony and Rev. Giovanni brought the appropriate amount of gravity and wit to the occasion. Our guests were highly complimentary of him as well. It was an enjoyable experience all around and we highly recommend him!

We stumbled upon Rev. G while searching for an officiant here on The Knot about seven months before our wedding. We knew that getting married in Greer, AZ would narrow our officiant options significantly as it would require a four drive from either Tucson or Phoenix. After reading his shinning reviews we gave it a shot to see if he'd be willing to venture out to the woods to marry us. Lucky for us, he agreed! We communicated via Skype to discuss our vision for our wedding, who we are as a couple, and what we hoped for our ceremony. Rev. G was very clear that his entire goal is customize and ensure our ceremony is all that we envisioned and more. The wonderful thing about it, is that he meant it. He takes his role and responsibility of bringing a couple together in marriage very seriously, but has a great sense of humor to keep your stress level low and the focus on the joy of your impending marriage. We were set to get married at 3:00PM out in the woods (where there is no cell reception), so to ensure that he made it to the venue timely he arrived at 1:00PM - allowing plenty of time to check on both the bride and groom (and our families!) before the ceremony. We placed our faith in him for a ceremony that fit us as a couple and he beyond delivered. We are forever grateful we found him and would recommend him to our closest friends and loved ones - hands down!

Rev Giovanni was incredible, and everyone at our wedding loved him. He is obviously very, very knowledgeable and knows exactly what he’s doing which took all the pressure and worry off of us. He has SO manh options to customize your ceremony so that it represents you as a couple perfectly, and he has a great sense of humor. Can not recommend him enough.

Rev G was such a wonderful person to work with. Both my husband and I felt comfortable meeting with him and on our wedding day-- he made sure we all had a good time. There was some humor and laughs and it made for a very enjoyable ceremony. One thing (aside from all the great reviews I read) that led me book with him was the fact that we were able to design our ceremony readings so it fit us as a couple. He truly made it perfect.

Reverend Giovanni was so easy (and flexible, in our case) to work with. He and his wife helped bring our special day together semlessly. We were able to “create” our own unique ceremony and vows, which was very special to us - it helped make our wedding “our” wedding. Thank you, Rev G!

Reverend Giovani was absolutely fantastic! He was very helpful in helping us coordinate and choose the perfect ceremony. I came from a large Catholic family so it was important to incorporate some catholic traditions. However, we did not want an overly "preachy" or long ceremony. It was traditional and modern. Reverand Giovani had great timing and was humorous. Our wedding guest enjoyed the ceremony and had many compliments. We would recommend Reverand Giovani to any couple.

It was wonderful to work with Rev. Giovanni to marry us! All our ceremony planning went so well and easy, we also wrote our own vows and everything worked out perfectly on our big day. He helped us wherever he can and always have good advice. We had an elopement and our walk was far, he made the best of everything! We could not have been happier that he married us, thank you again, so much!

Reverend Giovanni and his assistant Cheryl were the perfect touch to our wedding. He is very reasonably priced! He was very professional and communicated effectively way before the wedding and the hour before making it way less stressful. The ceremony went perfect, he was serious when needed but light hearted and fun. He had the perfect balance between the two and I couldn’t thank him enough. He had our guest crying and laughing. I absolutely recommend reverend Giovanni. Also, Cheryl was just as helpful and took photos of her own which was very sweet and also amazing photos! Thank you again!

Reverend Giovanni was the best! He was very professional and relaxing. He did a great job guiding us up until the big day and he definitely delivered at the ceremony! He'll also give you a worksheet for you to determine exactly what you want him to say during the ceremony, so that way you know there'll be no surprises and it'll be exactly what you and your partner want. Highly recommend!

Rev G and his assistant Sheryl were great to work with! He performed exactly what we had hoped our ceremony would be and gave us great memories for our wedding day. Rev G was not only amazing but also affordable

Very satisfied with Rev. Giovanni service. Very professional from day one. He provided the interest and willingness we were looking for. He made our special day as expected.

Rev. Giovanni is awesome!! He was super friendly and he held our hand through the whole process. He was very thorough and made sure we had the perfect ceremony for us. I would recommend him 1000%!! As a plus, he has some great Muhammed Ali stories ;)
