Best officiant I have seen in 25+ weddings. The ceremony flowed effortlessly while he spoke eloquently about the couple, love, and marriage. I would highly recommend him without any reservations.

Extremely professional and well spoken. He created a beautiful ceremony that was uniquely catered to the couple- keeping with their nondenominational preferences. Overall a very kind and easy person to talk with. Highly recommend!

We are so happy we went with James for our wedding ceremony. He did such a good job at helping us create a personalized ceremony which felt so special to my husband and I. He is an excellent speaker, communicated promptly, and was very professional. Would absolutely recommend to any other couple :)
