We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding officiant than Atonn with Wedding for the Ages! We were nervous at first being an out-of-state couple and finding an officiant who would create a personalized ceremony for us, but Atonn instantl...
y eased those worries and shot it out of the park. Each time we virtually met with him it was like catching up with an old friend and we loved hearing the crazy stories from his many years of experience. Atonn took the time to get to know us and created such a special ceremony for us inculpating all of the special themes of our wedding and our relationship as a couple. He even surprised us with the sweetest, most thoughtful addition to our ceremony that we will treasure always! Atonn instantly makes you feel comfortable and excited and was the perfect addition to our ceremony! We’re so thankful we found him and can’t wait to work with him again to create a special ceremony for our vow renewal and dating anniversary celebration next year!

He made helping us figure out exactly what we wanted for and to include in our ceremony process so incredibly easy and smooth! Ardy was there every step of the way to answer all my questions and go over things time and time again! It truly was a pleasure working with Ardy!

Book Weddings For The Ages! You won't be disappointed. We had Atonn as our officiant earlier this month. He was great and very personable with his vows for us. With the pandemic, our plans changed within the two weeks prior to the wedding date ...
and Atonn was able to adjust accordingly. I honestly got so many compliments about what a great job he did. Next year my husband and I will be having our original ceremony (because we couldn't get our money back from vendors) and Atonn agreed to be there again if we choose to go that route. My final thought- when looking at officiants earlier this year, I reached out to several places. Weddings For The Ages is the only one that contacted me back and for that I am grateful because I couldn't have imagined it any other way!

He was such and easy person to talk to and made everything so easy. Their communication and customer service was excellent as well. As a COVID couple they made it so easy to change our date.

We both said “wow this guy could have been a perfect fit in our friend group.”We hired him and I have to say it was one of the best decisions we had made for our wedding! Atonn really takes the time to get to know you as a couple and listen to your wedding vision so he can perform a beautiful personal ceremony and that’s exactly what he did for us. It seriously felt like our best friend was officiating the wedding. He had me crying with the vows he wrote for us. Everyone at the wedding was blown away by the ceremony and they all talked about how amazing the service was and Atonn’s words stuck with so many of our guests. Atonn truly made the wedding unforgettable and I was honored to have him as our officiant. He also introduced me to my incredible wedding planner, Courtney Of LCN Events, which made my life so much easier and created a dream team of vendors.

We absolutely loved working with Atonn through every single step of our wedding. He is so genuine, kind, and professional and made us feel so comfortable with him. We live in California, but got married in Ohio, and Atonn was so flexible, accom...
modating, and understanding through the entire process. Considering we only face timed with him a couple times prior to the wedding, we were shocked how well it seemed he knew us. He completely captured us and our love on our wedding day and provided us with a ceremony that was unique to us and something we'll remember forever. We absolutely recommend Atonn for any type of couple and wedding! We cannot thank you enough, Atonn!

The whole process with Atonn was just beyond amazing. Atonn worked great around our schedule, and set up a couple meetings to discuss our expectations, explain how things work and finalized plans. He had us both fill out questionnaires, which h...
e then took our answers and incorporated it into our ceremony to make it ONE OF A KIND!!!! He had different options of ceremonies we could choose from or if we wanted a specific theme, he would do it! which was really neat. I just can't say enough about Atonn, and would honestly recommend him for anyone that is getting married. He went above and beyond our expectations for the ceremony, and really made it beautiful with providing how we met and including the humor we wanted into his speech. He is amazing at what he does, and is truly passionate about his couples that he is working with. Thank you again, Atonn! Michelle and Jason Bonham

I can't say enough good things about Atonn. He was incredible to work with and he made our ceremony so incredibly personal and special. We had a small ceremony with our family and even the guys in the family talked about how great the ceremony ...
was. We are big beer fans and on our first date I introduced my husband to a snakebite, which is half Strongbow and half Guinness. We talked to Atonn about this at our initial meeting and he suggested we use it as our unity ceremony. It tied everything together perfectly during the ceremony and we couldn't have asked for a more fitting ritual to join us together as husband and wife! It's these little things that make Atonn so great at what he does. I would recommend Atonn to anyone!

Atonn was great to work with. He was very accommodating with our requests and even some last minute changes. We met a few times in the months leading up to the wedding to get everything perfect.

Having Atonn as the officiant of our wedding was probably the best choice we made for the entire process. Outside of his personality (friendly, approachable, helpful and an amazing human being), he made our ceremony special and personalized - g...

Atonn was a great officiant for our Toledo wedding! He met with us multiple times before the wedding and guided us through our big day. The week before the wedding our ceremony musicians were backing out and Atonn offered the use of his bluetoo...
th speakers. Although not ultimately needed, the gesture was much appreciated in a very stressful time. The ceremony itself was perfect and tailored to both my and my husband's personalities.

Owner
Atonn started marrying couples in 2013, and has created over 100 personalized, memorable ceremonies for couples from every walk of life. After marrying nearly 50 couples in one year, he realized that he needed help, and began seeking out other officiants who are genuinely passionate about giving couples a one-of-a-kind wedding ceremony experience, and Weddings For The Ages was formed. In 2018, Atonn brought in his brilliant wife, Jodie, to handle incoming requests, officiant schedules, and manage the office. We now manage 5 amazing officiants, and are having fun watching our son grow up fast!
