If we could give above 5 stars we would in a heartbeat. Lonnie has been nothing short of a privilege to work with. My now husband and I are both extremely introverted. So needless ...
to say standing in front of a crowd of people and opening our hearts by sharing our story of love and growth was a nightmarish thought to say the least. However, Lonnie set a clear boundary: we are the captain of the ship, he is a navigator. He was able to use our input to formulate a tremendous narrative that embodies our relationship. He took his time over months and multiple meetings to ensure it was perfect for us. He got us to open up and relax on the big day. In the end it was nothing short of perfect and after the ceremony his storytelling helped bring together both sides of the family (many of whom strangers) to talk about where they fit in in our story. It brought everyone together and was the catalyst for a wonderful night. I can say for certain that it wouldn’t have been the same without Lonnie’s hard work, passion, professionalism, and experience. Look no further when researching for an officiant. Lonnie is the best one out there for you.
From our very first interaction, we knew Lonnie was the one for us. His passion for love was apparent and poured through as he spoke. Lonnie had everything prepared in advance from...
spread sheets to ceremonial scripts he had developed and perfected. He was flexible in every aspect. Lonnie took the time to get to know us on a personal level and adjusted every little detail to fit. He assured us that his work could be adjusted, from the way he dressed, to the words he spoke. Lonnie invited an open dialog via email and text, including multiple Zoom Meetings. We always felt heard and respected. We knew he really wanted to get it just right for us. Lonnie and his husband Danilo have become family to us. We really couldn’t have asked for a better officiant! We are forever grateful and cannot sing Lonnie’s praises enough.
WOW! I don’t know where to start but let’s just say 10/10 would recommend. In every lifetime, we would choose Lonnie to marry us over and over again. He exceeded our expectations. ...
When we were looking for someone to marry us our requirements included someone who was experienced, someone who allowed us to have input on our wedding script for the ceremony, and most importantly someone who has “THE VOICE”. What we mean by “the voice” is someone who can speak confidently, speak well, and sound professional while sounding like they have known us for years and years like a family member. We had so many compliments on our wedding ceremony, our hearts felt so full. Lonnie is so kind and was so fun to work with. At the end of the wedding ceremony, Lonnie made sure our witnesses signed the marriage license paperwork and he took the initiative on sending our marriage certificate and license to our county. Lonnie gave us a tracking number to ensure we were able to know when the paperwork was recorded. Lastly, Lonnie gave us a beautiful box with our ceremony script, certificate of marriage, and thank you card. Our hearts are so full. We are literally shedding tears reminiscing about our ceremony and writing this review. All in all, if you are looking for an officiant, look no further. If you are reading this, this is a sign to book with Lonnie.
Lonnie was the perfect officiant.
He personalizes his service directly to you as a couple, he could be the most formal host or the least. He makes it easy for you to engage with t...
he planning and stays organized so there's never miscommunication. He's incredibly easy to work with, and he executes the ceremony reliably, especially by offering rehearsal.
More importantly to us, he was one of the warmest people at our ceremony. He was easy for everyone to talk to and get along with, from my far left LGBT friends to my conservative father. He's a reverend that performed a great secular ceremony for us. He even had us review every word of the ceremony beforehand to make sure it fit our needs.
If you're on his page to begin with, I genuinely can't think of a scenario he wouldn't fit perfectly. I'm sure another officiant would have done fine, but no other officiant would have felt this special for us.
Our wedding ceremony was hands down, the best one ever. Lonnie was simply amazing. Lonnie had an initial video call with us and just had this amazing positive energy that just dre...
w us in. At that fist meeting I knew I had chosen the very best for us. Lonnie will give you all the tools you will ever need for anything ceremony related! We had plenty of styles, quotes, short readings, ceremony ideas, ring ceremony wording ideas, and allows you to make your vows to read though. We sifted through so many styles of ceremonies and chose what spoke to us and sent it back and lonnie created the most beautiful ceremony for us… Lonnie has all the information you'd ever need on obtaining your marriage license, name changes, and all the tips for everything in between. Lonnie really does love his job! Lonnie is so invested in his couples and is the ray of sunshine guiding you to the *most* important part of your wedding day. Lonnie was just a lovely addition to our wedding and guest absolutely loved him and all his great vibes.
Then there’s more!! Lonnie will take care of your marriage license and send it to the recoding office for you. Then you receive this amazing keepsake box with all the special touches. Our vows that Lonnie typed up in a large fount for easy reading. And our marriage certificate.. We've plan on keeping in touch. Lonnie truly is a gem in this world of revolving door interactions & you will not be disappointed!"
Thank you Lonnie for being a part out our new beginning and marrying us! 💕

Lonnie was our officiant at our wedding last month and he was the best! We had really no idea how to write a wedding script or what to even ask, and he did a wonderful job taking c...
are of everything. He was very organized, professional, friendly, responsive, and detailed. He really tries to get to know you in order to craft the perfect script. We loved the final result, and got many compliments from our guests about how the ceremony was "perfect", "just right", and "lovely." We also really appreciated that he took care of sending the marriage license back to the county. He was so responsive on that and kept us posted on the progress, and all we had to do was go pick up copies after they were ready (if we wanted to, which we did). If you need an officiant, we would recommend Lonnie without hesitation! We are so thankful to him for helping make our wedding day perfect!
Lonnie is so amazing. He brings out an uplifting energetic energy. He really gets to know you to be able to write an incredible script for your ceremony. We received nothing but co...
mpliments on how beautifully and detail-oriented his ceremony was. We also took advantage of his premarital counseling sessions. They were great openers for my newlywed husband and me to challenge and dig deeper. His organization for the ceremony helps tremendously, taking much of the planning work off your shoulders. He listened attentively to our wants and needs. You are a blessing Lonnie Thank you!
This was mine and my husband's first time getting married or even planning a wedding. We were completely lost; but my husband found Lonnie online and he was everything we could ask...
for and more! He responded to our online request within 20 minutes, and met with us the next day with tons of information and tools to help guide us with our wedding ceremony. Lonnie did more than just officiate. He took the time to explain the traditions and norms with us, he coordinated with our photographer to make sure they captured all of the important moments with us, and ensured we got our marriage license signed while we were swept off to take photos. With Lonnie we were able to meet online and develop a script which made it so much more convenient. He also gifted us beautiful candles for our unity candle ceremony... you can just tell Lonnie LOVES what he does. I'm sure I must be missing some details about all of the things he did to make our experience so simple and wonderful. Lonnie is so much more than an officiant; he treated us like family and really made us feel special. Will recommend to EVERYONE! LOL. Thank you, Lonnie!!!

give input, share different traditions, and will work on perfecting and personalizing to make it a very personal and fun ceremony. He came up with bringing up our children at the end of the ceremony and introducing us as a family which we absolutely loved. We are so grateful Lonnie and his sweetheart stayed for our reception because they really felt like more of the family. Thank you so much Lonnie.
Our experience with Lonnie Wheeler was nothing short of phenomenal. We had initially reached out to him on relatively short notice, uncertain if we could find someone who could tru...
ly capture the essence of our relationship in such a limited timeframe. However, from the moment we connected, it was evident that we had found the perfect match for our special day.
Lonnie went above and beyond to personalize our ceremony, taking the time to get to know us as a couple. His genuine interest in our story and their thoughtful approach truly set them apart. It was as if they had known us for years, effortlessly weaving together anecdotes and insights that perfectly encapsulated our journey together.
What truly impressed us was Lonny's ability to strike the perfect balance between heartfelt sentiment and light-hearted humor. Our ceremony was filled with laughter, tears, and moments of profound connection – all thanks to their skillful guidance. They ensured that every word spoken resonated deeply with us and our guests, creating an atmosphere of warmth and authenticity that we will cherish forever.
Moreover, Lonny was incredibly professional and organized throughout the entire process. Despite the time constraints, they remained composed and focused, alleviating any concerns we had and instilling us with confidence that our ceremony would be nothing short of perfect – and it was.
In hindsight, we couldn't imagine our wedding day without Lonny at the helm. His passion for their craft and dedication to creating meaningful experiences is truly commendable. If you're searching for an officiant who will go above and beyond to tailor your ceremony to perfection, look no further than Lonny. We wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking a truly unforgettable wedding ceremony experience.
