Jim did an amazing job officiating our wedding! His wife Kathy even helped cue us down the aisle - they are a great team. They are super laid back and friendly yet professional. 10/10 recommend!
Jim by far exceeded my expectations of what an "officiant" should be. He was extremely patient, caring, and fantastic to work with. In a time where its impossible to get ahold of people, its rare to be in contact with someone who gets back to you with the same day, let alone a few hours. Our ceremony was beautifuly well written, and spoken from Jim. Im not kidding when I say I wish we could get married again just to have Jim do it for us again!
