Rev Joe was a perfect fit for us. He was friendly, humorous, great with his words and over all had good energy to him. Thank you Rev Joe for being a part of our wedding and making ...
it memorable for both us and our guest.
I had an October wedding and in August I found out my original officiator was unable to officiate our wedding. When I asked a few of my other vendors for recommendations, Rev. Joe...
was highly suggested. Luckily for me he was available for our ceremony. He is a true professional and really made our ceremony special. We loved having him as a part of our special day. He is quick to respond and very flexible. I would recommend him to anyone looking for an officiator in Savannah.
Rev. Joe counseled my husband and I prior to our wedding (which he also officiated) and I have to say it was the best decision we could have ever made. Rev. Joe was able to get to ...
know us on a more personal level through premarital counselling and to learn all of the intimate details of our relationship. He worked with us to understand ourselves as individuals and as a couple and also used this information to create a beautiful script for our wedding ceremony.
We wanted a ceremony that was short, sweet and to the point as we’ve both been to weddings where it seemed the ceremony just dragged on forever and for no reason. We were pledging our love and commitment to one another, not attempting to retell our entire life story or put on a dramatic theater act.
Rev. Joe worked with us to create a ceremony that honored our religious upbringings (and our parents) while also respecting the fact that neither of us currently practices our respective faiths. He incorporated a hand ceremony by my request and even threw in a little humor about me, as the wife, always having the upper hand. He made everyone laugh but he also brought many to tears. I even became emotional during our vows after hearing and reflecting on the beauty of Rev. Joe’s previous words which perfectly represented my husband and I and our future together.
I could not recommend Rev. Joe enough. If you want someone who will truly make your wedding about you and your spouse and the life you are about to embark on together, choose Rev. Joe. Our ceremony was unlike any I’d ever been a part of before, so intimate and so incredibly special. I’m thankful we chose to have our wedding videoed and that we will always be able to relive those moments!
What an amazing person- he has such a way with words. Our guests commented that it was one of the best ceremonies they have ever heard/been to.
My husband and I LOVE Reverend Joe and highly highly recommend him as your officiant! I come from a very liberal Quaker background, and my husband comes from a more conservative Ca...
tholic family, so we were very unsure about how to design a wedding ceremony which honored both sides and offended no one. Reverend Joe helped us custom tailor our wedding ceremony to hit a heartfelt and absolutely perfect balance between our two very different religious backgrounds. Reverend Joe had so many amazing ideas which made our ceremony so unique and meaningful. Our favorite recommendation of his was to take a moment during the ceremony to honor both of our parents. If anyone was holding back tears this is definitely the moment where everyone broke! Afterwards, guests on both sides told us that the wedding ceremony felt very true to us, and many also mentioned that it was the best ceremony they had ever been to!
I'm delighted to report that if you are considering Savannah for a destination wedding, it is easy and fun to get to know Rev. Joe over video chats and phone calls (my husband and I planned our wedding from Los Angeles). He was an absolute joy to work with and we are forever grateful that we chose him as our wedding officiant. Our ceremony was *perfect*, and it was all thanks to Rev. Joe's great ideas and excellent writing!
Rev. Joe officiated our destination wedding in Savannah. Being from out of town, I relied heavily on my research and suggestions from other people. -Coming across Rev. Joe, after...
looking at a couple of others, I knew he was perfect for us! His website was so helpful and his videos gave us an inside look as to what our ceremony would be like. He was easy to work with, quick to respond to emails and made our ceremony personable to us. He was professional, on time and happy to be there. It was a lovely ceremony and we wouldn't have changed a thing!
My husband and I decided to book Rev. Joe based on all the amazing reviews online; the reviews were spot on. We were planning a wedding from out of town and only had a two-day wi...
ndow to make a trip to Hilton Head before our wedding day. Rev. Joe was very flexible and made sure he was able to meet with us while we were in town. Although we met him about 6-months before our wedding, we talked about the layout of the ceremony; what our vision was, ways to involve our parents, readings, our vows, etc. Considering we didn’t have too many opinions, he had some great recommendations on how to lay things out. Prior to the our wedding day, Rev. Joe sent us a draft document with his entire speech/verbiage. He also attended our rehearsal and took care of all the documentation regarding the wedding; mainly our marriage license and all the details that go into making sure you mail the correct copies to the appropriate parties.
We received an overwhelming number of compliments on the ceremony. I honestly cannot express in words the amount of people who told us it was one of the best wedding ceremonies they have ever attended. The majority of our guests thought we had known Rev. Joe for years. His enthusiasm, excitement, and passion for what he does was clearly evident during our ceremony. I’d highly recommend Rev. Joe to anyone looking for an enthusiastic and passionate officiant. You will not be disappointed.
Rev Joe was my favorite person to work with when we were planning our wedding. We met with a couple wedding officiates and it was clear that Rev Joe was the best for us. He catere...
d our ceremony to be exactly what we had envisioned for the day and we are still getting comments from guests about how great Rev Joe and the ceremony was. Throughout the planning process he offered great suggestions when we really were not sure what to decide on and perfectly captured the feelings my wife and I have for each other. Not only that but he took care of all the post-wedding license tasks and we didn’t have to worry about the documentation. Our license was waiting for us by the time we got back from the honeymoon the following week.
During the rehearsal and on the day of the wedding he kept things light with my groomsmen and I and I felt very comfortable knowing he had control of the ceremony. We are so happy we chose Rev Joe when planning our big day and would recommend him in a heartbeat to anyone!!
Rev. Joe was awesome! He did exactly as I had asked and gave us the most amazing ceremony. All the guests commented on how great he was and a few asked to have a copy of the ceremo...
ny. Rev. Joe kept it short for me but still very romantic and Christian. I'm so happy to have found him online. He worked with me from afar while I am living in Colorado. Everything turned out perfectly with his service.
Reverend Joe made our dreams come true for an absolutely perfect ceremony! From planning the ceremony months in advance to the final pronouncement, Reverend Joe truly made us feel ...
that we had made the right choice. During the ceremony, he spoke of us as if he had known us our entire lives even though we had only ever exchanged emails with him prior to meeting him at the rehearsal. He personalized the ceremony expressly for us and allowed us to have a memory that could never be lost! All of our guests made it a point to comment on how truly remarkable the ceremony was! We can not say enough to express how lucky we were to have him marry us!
Reverend Joe did a fantastic job. He let us have input in the ceremony, and personalized it to us. He made a little joke at just the right time. We received so many compliments on ...
the ceremony. Everyone said it sounded very meaningful and heartfelt.
Rev Joe performed a great ceremony. I met with him ahead of time and he tailored it to make it extra personal.
Rev Joe made our ceremony truly special and added personal touches that I am still hearing about from our guests! He walked us through everything and made sure that we felt comfort...
