Wedding Officiant Jon

o anyone in attendance. So I went to the internet….and found Jon. Of course, you are hesitant about only yelp reviews, etc, but with Jon they are all real. You gain confidence of that right away from his communication, organization and the attention to detail you expect of someone in charge of your ceremony and filing of license. And from the moment he arrived, he was all that and more. You finally experience his personality shine-all that you had hoped. He was organized, gracious, warm and funny - he was quick on his feet to absorb what he observed in the beginning moments and weaved it into the ceremony! Loved every minute of it.

very comfortable for us. We would highly recommend Officiant Jon to any future couples!

mony, understand the flow and avoid unforeseen parts. Jon is calm, responsible and kind. We cannot endorse him more. If you want a classy, elegant and touchy wedding, Jon is your guy!

ic for how well people pay attention to introductions. He got my name correct from the very first phone call!) During the ceremony, his remarks were spot on and perfectly suited the tone we were looking for. Everyone could tell that he put in plenty of time to prepare his remarks, and he helped to make us feel secure and calm during a potentially stressful day.

through. Communication was never an issue and he really put me at ease the day of the wedding! Though we didn’t get a picture together, thank you so much for marrying me and my best friend. You’re the absolute best Jon, thank you!

remony went so smoothly! Overall, Jon is highly recommended and we’re happy that he was our officiant!

ng an outside person to conduct the ceremony. We were worried that this person didn't really 'know' us. However after going through Jon's process, he took the time to really get to know us, and he felt as if he was part of our inner circle. After the wedding, multiple guests of our said how amazing the ceremony was and if Jon was related to us! Jon is the man, you won't be disappointed in hiring him to officiate your wedding!

peaking really stood out to us. He is very personable, detail oriented and accommodating. We are so glad we chose him and highly recommend him to other couples!

ith us closely to create a ceremony that was uniquely ours. Leading up to the wedding Jon made sure we felt very confident of what the timeline of events was. By the day of our wedding, Jon felt more like a good friend standing up there with us than just our officiant. Even though my nerves were all over the place, Jon was able to make me feel very calm and relaxed, even with tears rolling down my face! He also managed to throw in some good humor which had all of us laughing. I honestly can't keep count of how many people came up to me after the wedding saying how much they loved Jon! He was a true professional and I can't recommend him enough! Thank you, Jon, for making our wedding so memorable!

he sent us all the information that we needed via email. He responded to all of our questions in a timely manner, always within 24 hours. Once we decided to move forward with Jon the process was a breeze. He sent us a worksheet for us to fill out, they were questions about us, but also questions about what we wanted him to include in our ceremony. We loved that he tailored everything to what we wanted but we also loved that he gave us lots of options on things that we can add... we had no idea there were so many options! We had one telephone meeting with Jon to confirm everything on the worksheet and he verbally "walked us through" what our ceremony would be like on the actual day. On the actual day our wedding ceremony was perfect! Jon was easy going, personable and very professional. It was the perfect amount of time, not too long, not too short. We are so so happy that we chose him as our wedding officiant! You will not be disappointed! Another random thing, if you ever watched the show Better Call Saul, he reminded us of Saul so much! He can pass as Saul, but just with shorter hair, and the way he talks is just like Saul's :)

ed along seamlessly thanks to Jon. If you are looking for the perfect officiant, you’ve found him!

e loved him and thought he was amazing, just like we did. He was organized, punctual, kind, and had such a great energy to him that was infectious. I was so nervous and worried that things would not run smoothly but Jon assuaged my fears and everything ran without a hitch and was a dream come true. I recommend him through and through, he is priced reasonable and goes above and beyond for you. My husband even asked him to review his vows prior, unbeknownst to me. Thank you Jon, you made our day so special.

d what we wanted, and tailored our ceremony accordingly. He kept it light enough to calm our nerves, but also added some genuine advice and seriousness fitting for the biggest day of our lives. Finally, he was so helpful with the most un-fun part of it all - the paperwork! He helped make that process as frictionless as possible for us, so we could focus on the important parts of our day!

quick and easy, exactly what I needed towards the end of wedding planning. Our ceremony was exactly what we discussed wanting with Jon: short, sweet & a little fun. 10/10 Would recommend

into LA the day before the wedding, so we were unable to have a rehearsal beforehand. Nevertheless, the wedding ceremony went very smoothly. He is a very experienced wedding officiant, and it definitely shows. Although he charges slightly more than other officiants, it is definitely worth the extra money!

time, dressed very professionally and he rocked it! He made our guests laugh and cry with joy. My husband and I both have names that can be difficult to pronounce, but Jon practiced and said them perfectly! Besides being such an awesome officiant, Jon pulled up to our venue in a motorcycle and immediately transitioned into his suit like a rockstar! He was so charismatic and worth every penny! :)

lly cares for the outcome you want. His professional grasp of thought, diction and presentation is masterful. We highly recommend Jon and his uplifting ministerial services.

was on top of his game. He sent our marriage license in a timely manner and followed up to give us a copy. Would recommend!

on was amazing. He was incredibly responsive, calm and communicative during the ceremony planning process. He also made our ceremony feel extra special by incorporating the story of how we first met, with cute detail, that most of our guests hadn’t previously heard. We highly recommend Jon and feel lucky that he was able to officiate our wedding!

e joke in my questionnaire and he delivered it perfectly! The entire crowd laughed, and he added the perfect amount of humor and lightheartedness! We could not have asked for a better officiant, and I highly recommend working with Jon!

using anyone else. He is worth every penny!

He put a lot of work into our wedding day, and we talked at length and worked together several times prior to our wedding. We are so grateful that Jon was our officiant. We wouldn't have changed a thing!

right way to go. Throughout the planning process during COVID times, Jon stayed in touch, took the time to get to know my husband and I as a couple, and sent us a prep worksheet to go over all the details. He was very helpful in our handfasting ceremony intertwined with the secular ceremony and come up with some wonderful vows. We were very happy with his service! When wedding day rolled around, he was there on time and ready to go. Despite our tardiness, he took the time to speak to my father and us to give us last-minute guidance on where to stand and when. (We didn't do a rehearsal dinner despite that it was an option). He had some lovely pointers to maximize photography during the event as well. He kept it short and sweet, exactly as we asked, and very engaging and fun to boot. He had everyone in tears from the cuteness of it all and laughing from the lovely speech he made. It was a lovely wedding ceremony. Jon was also very timely with the wedding certificate and had it mailed right away. We were able to order the official copy as soon as we were back from the honeymoon! I highly recommend Jon for any type of service you like! He does it all! Thank you, Jon!

ortable with the decisions we were making on our big day. On the day of the ceremony, Jon made our families feel welcome, and included everything we asked for down to the letter. He’s continued to be a trusted advisor, making sure our wedding license was filed with the State. We can’t recommend Rev. Jon strongly enough!

al and added just the perfect amount of humor and light heartedness.

uggestions for us--as we had no idea what went into the officiant talk--and helped us craft a message that felt completely unique to our relationship. i'm telling you, the man knows what he's doing!

couldn't be happier! We didn't know exactly how important choosing the right officiant would be for our big day...but it turns out that our decision to have Jon marry us was one of the best we made! He is professional but very personable and truly listens to his couples. We completed his detailed questionnaire and by the time we completed our call with him, we really felt at ease and had a good idea of how the ceremony would take place. His extensive experience as an officiant proved helpful time and time again, as he gave several ceremony tips and alternative options regarding how we could incorporate readings or prayers, along with where to include the delcarations of intent! On the day of, Jon was punctual, well-dressed, friendly, and funny! We're so thankful to have pictures of us laughing and so full of love during the moments we made our union official. Thank you so much, Jon! We couldn't have imagined a more perfect ceremony!!

what some would call “particular”, this did not phase Jon one bit, we organized the ceremony to our individual preferences. As we stood for our ceremony at the Ritz Carlton – Laguna Niguel with a small group of our family gathered, Jon conducted a ceremony that was spiritual, with a bit of humor, and authentic to us as a couple, just what we wanted! In the days after, Jon continued to show his professionalism by completing our marriage license and sending it into the county. He shared all the information via email, so we were in the loop! Jon made our intimate wedding very special. I highly recommend him as an officiant!

ommendations along the way. He made the process smooth from start to finish. We had our dream wedding despite the pandemic going on and Jon was a big part of it! We would highly recommend Jon for your wedding!

questions to ask. However, we did know that we wanted a true wedding professional! I feared that from my previous event history, we would have a family friend selected that would forget something or worse, not show. I’m SOO SOO thankful we went with our gut and hired a professional. It was scary! We had no idea who Jon was, he didn’t know our relationship, and we were just going based off online reviews. However, from our first initial telephone call with Jon, we were put at ease. He was warm + kind and truly, dedicated to his craft. Jon walked us through the entire ceremony via telephone, and consistently asked questions about what WE wanted as a couple. He asked us about how we met, what our hobbies were and about the things that were special to us. After our call, we felt 100% comfortable knowing Jon was going to officiant our wedding. We could not envision someone else marrying us. Our ceremony was beautiful and guests are still raving about the spoken words.

ave Jon as our officiant and be a part of our special day on October 10, 2020 at Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach. It was “PERFECT”. Jon – Since Day 1, you have been so wonderful and amazing to work with via emails and super proactive and quick turnaround emails. Thank you. He had a very thorough questionnaire that guided us through the ceremony structure and if we had any questions or concerns, he was able to talk more into detail, with suggestions and BEST advice. He is EXCELLENT and understanding. A couple months before the ceremony, he went through the whole timeline and was very thorough. That’s what makes a great officiant! Day of Ceremony – It was a pleasure meeting him for the first time! Pandemic got in the way to meet in person beforehand, but it was such a delight, and the ceremony was a DREAM. Everything went smoothly and his readings and sayings was just pure bliss. We had so many of our family and friends had POSITIVE (no pun-intended) comments about Jon! - “Wow, how did you find this guy! He’s amazing!” - “Your officiant is great and he had such a meaningful story that is relatable.” - “Dude! Your officiant is pretty funny, yet he gave such a great message!” - “Your ceremony with the officiant was beautiful!” Overall, Jon Olson is a MUST HIRE! If you want someone who is organized, professional, and so engaged! Definitely hire Jon! We highly recommend him. Excellent service overall! Thank you, Jon, for being so kind-hearted and easy to work with especially during these pandemic times. We are so blessed and happy that we did NOT cancel or reschedule our wedding date as it turned out to be the most PERFECT day with our special family and friends. Weather was perfect, no “Santa Ana” winds, and the love and support that surrounded us. We couldn’t ask for more, but everything was magical. Thank you for being a part of our DREAM wedding. We are so humbled to have you as our officiant for the ceremony Jon. Thank you once again and mahalo – Michelle + Christian (10/10/2020)

re the vows was really genuine and thoughtful. Also, we filmed it for our parents and he did such a good job addressing them in the video -- they LOVED it! We couldn't have been happier overall, definitely recommend if you want someone organized, personable, and easy-going. Thanks so much Jon!

My (now) husband and I began planning our wedding in 2019, and selected Jon as our officiant after speaking to him on the phone. Jon immediately started helping us plan the ceremony by providing us a detailed planning questionnaire as well as sample vows and readings. After a Skype planning session, Jon sent us a ceremony timeline, which was extremely useful in planning the rest of the wedding. A month prior to our wedding, COVID-19 stay-at-home orders forced us to change our plans. We delayed our wedding date and downsized our guest list. Through it all, Jon was extremely understanding and helped us find an alternate wedding date. Unfortunately, COVID-19 continued to put us through the wringer. Our original wedding venue cancelled on us ten days before the wedding (due to county regulations related to COVID-19). We immediately called Jon, and he provided us a list of nearly 20 alternate wedding venues. Thanks to Jon, we were able to find a new wedding venue that was even lovelier than our original one! Despite prior challenges, our wedding ceremony was absolutely perfect. Jon is an amazing officiant, and our ceremony was intimate and meaningful. Whether you’re having your wedding during these crazy COVID times or when life finally returns to normal, don’t hesitate to select Jon as your wedding officiant!

answer all our questions, address our concerns, and he also took the time to get to know us as a couple. Jon‘s worksheet that he sends a couple to fill out prior to the ceremony is a great guide and outline of what to expect with the ceremony. When it came to our wedding day, it could not have gone better! The ceremony that Jon led was incredibly special and we received so many compliments from our guests on the ceremony. We are so happy that Jon was able to be a part of our COVID “minimony” and can’t wait for him to also be a part of our vow renewal next year. Thank you Jon!!

find an officiant that would help us feel comfortable in answering lots of questions and help to navigate the challenges of this crazy time. From the start, Jon was very accommodating with helping us choose a date, helping us navigate the marriage license process (which was not easy during the pandemic) and guiding our ceremony structure while leaving us with the perfect amount of autonomy. He is organized and experienced and his calm demeanor takes away any anxiety and stress that might come with wedding planning. On the day of our ceremony, Jon was prompt and prepared to guide us through the best day of our lives! He added special touches to the ceremony that made it even more meaningful to us and you could tell that he really took the time to (virtually) get to know us. After the wedding, he took care of sending in our marriage license and made sure to communicate a copy and next steps with us. We are truly grateful that we had a professional like Jon to guide us through a process that neither of us knew anything about. We cannot recommend him enough!

with our changes and was there to help us whenever needed.

xtremely reassuring throughout the entire process, very professional, and produced a detailed doc walking through the ceremony (event by event, segment by segment!) within a couple days of us having our call. He also handled the ceremony itself wonderfully, couldn't have asked for more!

th us and walked us through the different sections of the ceremony and gave us many options for readings/unity ceremonies and etc. I highly recommend him!

every step of the way from the wedding day timeline, to readings and ring exchanges, and any religious passages. My wife has a religious family, where as I do not, and he was able to give us advice and blend it all together in a very meaningful way. From the pictures you can see it was not a church wedding, and Jon even helped out with a little humor that we suggested to lighten the mood for everyone (mainly US!) He even took it upon himself to ad lib a bit when I had left the wedding bands in the hotel room, and we waited in silence, then laughter, for the coordinator to bring them to the rooftop ceremony. I would recommend to anyone with an engagement set, to start looking early for an officiant. The good ones get booked up early, and Jon jumped on our radar right away so we booked him almost 9 months in advance I believe. Thank you again Jon for an exceptional wedding ceremony, and best of luck to anyone looking and reading here to book their own. Go with Jon! You will not be disappointed.

ceremony to perfectly fit your vision. Hire him, hire him, hire him.

ce leading up to the day of so I felt very comfortable. Even better, he proved to us that he's an absolute pro! We got married in the heart of Hollywood and there were some issues next door to our venue. Before we knew it, there was a hovering helicopter, a handful of cop cars and sirens blasting but Jon cracked a joke about it, made sure all our guests were focused and moved on w/the ceremony without missing a beat. Overall, a great experience!

nking he would already be booked, or our venue might have been a little too far. Thankfully, he wasn't booked, and he drove quite far to accommodate our special day. During our Skype call, he made sure to ask everything that he needed to know, and answer everything we asked which gave us peace of mind. He also invited us to reach out to him at any time if we were worried about anything, which we did, and he would always answer quickly. The day of the wedding, Jon showed up exactly when he said he would. He spent some time talking to my wife and I, getting to know us more on a personal level, as well as some of the wedding party and parents. Jon also kept letting us know that everything was going perfectly, which calmed our nerves down more than you would ever think. As the ceremony began, it seemed to be straight to the point, which was ABSOLUTELY fantastic. Everyone that attended the wedding thought the order that he placed the 'I do's', vows, prayers, and so on could not have been better. The ceremony seemed to be the perfect length. Jon ended up staying for a little after the ceremony to thank us for everything, where we made sure to get a picture with him. (Which we'll upload as soon as we get our wedding photos back!) I would NOT recommend ANYONE ELSE. Thank you so much once again Jon.

On our wedding day, Jon was extremely organized and professional. With him as our officiant our ceremony was beautiful and exactly what we imagined.

me (the bride) to make sure the ceremony was exactly how I had envisioned it for so many years. He made my husband and I feel like we had known him for years with his kind personality. Our wedding ceremony was flawless and it is all thanks to Jon, we highly recommend hiring him for your upcoming wedding, you will not regret it! Thanks again Jon!

eginning. As it is my fiancé and I first and hopefully only wedding in our life time Jon made sure we knew what to do on this special day. He was on time and even provided us a list of ideas for the ceremony to make our picture look slightly different so poses won't look the same. As we looked into our wedding video we even saw him help fix the tail of my dress so I can walk down the aisle, and moved so quickly so he wouldn't photo bomb our picture of the first kiss. I am honestly so happy we choose him to officiate our wedding and really highly recommend Jon as your wedding officiant. Thank you Jon for everything.

al, and led us in an extremely intuitive way. The ceremony was perfect. It was the most beautiful moment of my life and I'm so happy Jon was there to lead it. Thank you Jon!

very comfortable moving forward. He definitely catered to exactly what we were looking for. He guided us through the entire process and the ceremony went beautifully! Jon, thank you so much for being there and we couldn't imagine anyone else helping us to tie the knot!

ade a couple weeks later, the planning process was quite easy and stress free, and Jon also helped us out with our rehearsal on short notice. His care for his clients really shows, he pays very close attention to detail, and he is very good at his job. We highly recommend him; you will not be disappointed! Thank you so much again Jon. You helped make our day a dream come true!

clearly and you can tell he had experience. After our in person meeting with Jon we felt even more at ease because we went over the whole ceremony process and the day of the wedding it all went as planned. Thanks Jon for helping our day turn out amazing!! It will definitely be a day we will never forget.

he handles all the important parts of the wedding and how a wedding should flow.

h time leading up to the wedding. Thank you Jon for being so accommodating and we loved having you as our officiant!

amless and enjoyable. We gave him the very difficult task of having a nondenominational ceremony with a religious flare, and he knew exactly what to do. We talked with him over the phone and also met at his house to put the ceremony together. He gave us great materials to work with and it was clear that he has honed his skills and services over years of experience. His communication was also fantastic. On top of being a great celebrant, he is simply a very lovely, very kind person, and he made it really easy to work with him. Highly, highly recommend.

loved his sense of humor and his genuine care for us as a couple. His counseling session before the wedding provided insights that we still benefit from today as a married couple. We are so fortunate to have found him!

emony planning process, which can be a little daunting if you don’t have someone like Jon on your side! We had a Skype video phone call about 6 months out and went through everything in more detail. By the time the wedding was approaching, I had no doubt the ceremony would be flawless. Jon gave us a great outline of everything we had discussed and planned for which we were able to use at the rehearsal the day before. At the wedding, Jon did a fantastic job with the right mix of serious and lighter material. He made both my husband and I feel at ease at the altar. Jon is a great officiant and i highly recommend his services!!

th him and he emailed us many options that "we loved", to choose from. The ceremony went by so fast and so smooth all thanks to Officiant Jon's professionalism and experience. Thanks so much Jon!! P.s if I ever get married again I will absolutely use you again!! LOL just kidding. One time is more than enough

cided not to get married in a church which was not a favorable decision amongst my family. However, Jon was able to incorporate religious aspects in our ceremony perfectly. Everyone loved how personalized the ceremony was and my family could not stop praising how great of an officiant he is. Jon truly is incredible. If you are looking for a professional, kind and easy to work with officiant, call Jon!

he Officiant would execute it seamlessly and perfectly, and that's exactly what we got with Jon! He will give you a detailed breakdown of the ceremony from processional all the way through the recessional. There are no unknowns, no wondering, no guessing.. you will receive a highly professional document with step by step information of how the ceremony will run from a-to-z. He is extremely flexible and will customize your ceremony for you based on what you like and he will also give you plenty of options to choose from, if you need it. Don't rely on a wedding planner to do this.. they won't, it's not their job. Rely on and count of Jon to give you the ceremony of your dreams! Whether your religious (any religion), or sort-of religious, or non-denominational, or anything else .. Jon can perform the ceremony. My husband and I are so happy we hired Jon to officiate our wedding.. it was exactly what we wanted and more! Simply perfect! We loved our ceremony, and our guests were moved to tears of joy and highly complimented our ceremony. Thank you Jon for making our ceremony a memorable one.

ng, with guides for every possible element of a ceremony. We could pick and choose the elements we wanted and customize further to suit our vision for the wedding! Throughout the planning process, he offered his own thoughts and suggestions, but above all, Jon made clear that his priority was facilitating our idea of a ceremony. We also wanted to write our own vows, but really didn't have a good idea how to start, so Jon was very helpful in jump-starting our thinking there. For the day of, he had prepared a timeline of events, down to the coordination of who walked down the aisle and in what order. On the day of, Jon was punctual and the entire ceremony ran smoothly and just as we had envisioned--which is exactly what you want an officiant to do. Hiring an officiant seems daunting at first; we are grateful to Jon for help and guidance along the way and for helping contribute to our favorite day!

period and the first person we confirmed was Jon, who happened to be the officiant my sister used three years earlier for her wedding. Considering the timeline, we were nervous about all of the pieces falling together, but luckily Jon was available and willing. Jon was SO easy to work with. He had worksheets to follow, sample vows, religious and non-religious wording, and made the process so easy. We communicated by email which was convenient for me while working and Jon was so easy going. For only communicating a couple of weeks, Jon was able to personalize our ceremony and it felt like we had known him our whole relationship. The ceremony was short like we requested, but meaningful. I was so impressed with Jon's professionalism and ability to make every moment feel perfect. He also took care of filing the marriage license which is so helpful and one less thing a new couple has to worry about. I would recommended Jon over and over!

. He took the time to get to know us during the planning sessions. His number one concern is your happiness and that's what really tied it all together. I can't express our gratitude enough for making our wedding day one to remember forever. I would recommend getting a rehearsal session in with him to work out all the kinks but that's up to you. I would recommend him 12 times out of 10.

same sex couple. He took the time to get to know us in person and on phone calls/emails, we loved all his recommendations including to get a family member involved with the reading, and he was willing to make last minute adjustments to recognize my late father and shared well wishes for my father-in-law for a quick recovery who could not attend due to health issue. Jon comforted us before and during the ceremony like a family member would. Jon's message lifted our spirits and our love for each other, for our families and friends; it was magical and spell binding listening to Jon during our ceremony and made it more special than how we imagined. My mom appreciated the even-tone Christian message. Throughout the reception our friends and families thought Jon was one of our best friends, and we have couples who will call him for their wedding, while others were motivated to renew their vows by Jon. We are forever grateful for Jon and we highly recommend him!

emony was exactly how we discussed and actually better than I could have imagined. If you are looking for an officiant, book Jon! We received numerous compliments about what a great job he did, you will not be disappointed!

part of our ceremony was when my husband and I leaned in for a kiss too soon and Jon improvised and brought some humor to the ceremony! We can't thank him enough for making our day perfect!

ehand so we could all get on the same page. The whole ceremony was fantastic. I remember that we got a lot of compliments on our officiant and of what a great ceremony and job he did. Thanks again, Jon! Mark
