I cannot speak highly enough about Joe and the beautiful ceremony he wrote for our wedding. We received SO MANY compliments on how thoughtfully written and beautifully delivered it...
was. It was the perfect amount of light and fun, while sentimental and romantic. Joe also supported us with our vows - which ended up being many guest's favorite part of the whole celebration. I truly cannot articulate how grateful we are to have had Dr. Joe part of our special day. He was professional, responsive, and went above and beyond for us. He even learned how to speak Serbian/Croatian as a special touch for visiting guests! Look no further than Dr. Joe! His pricing and process are also super reasonable, and he absolutely went above and beyond in his thoughtfulness and delivery. Such a great human and made our day so special!

Choosing Dr. Joe (Your Fun Officiant) to officiate our wedding was the best decision we made! From our initial meeting, he not only embraced but celebrated our African American h...
eritage and the traditions that are so meaningful to us. Incorporating the broom jump into our ceremony was a highlight Dr. Joe honored with deep respect and understanding of its cultural significance.
He took the time to weave our personal journey into the ceremony, making it a celebration of family and love. His words were heartfelt and spoke directly to our hearts and those of our guests. Many remarked that they had never experienced a ceremony so deeply connected to the couple and their heritage.
Throughout the ceremony, Dr. Joe radiated warmth and wisdom, creating an atmosphere that felt like being surrounded by family. His ability to blend traditional elements with personal touches made the ceremony uniquely intimate and meaningful. The broom jump was a poignant moment that symbolized not just our union but also our respect for our ancestors and the journey they paved for us.
Your Fun Officiant (Dr. Joe) met and exceeded our expectations in every way possible. His presence was reassuring and comforting, grounding us in the moment amidst the joy and excitement of the day. He brought a sense of unity and togetherness that resonated with everyone present, making our wedding feel like a true celebration of family and love.
Our guests couldn't stop talking about how unique and meaningful the ceremony was. Many mentioned it was one of the best weddings they had ever attended, largely thanks to Dr. Joe's heartfelt and genuine delivery. He made us feel supported and cared for throughout the entire process, and we are incredibly grateful to him for helping us start our journey as a married couple in such a beautiful and unforgettable way.
If you're looking for an officiant who will honor your heritage, embrace your traditions, and make your wedding day feel like a warm embrace from family, we enthusiastically recommend Your Fun Officiant. He exceeded our hopes and dreams for our ceremony, creating memories we will cherish forever.

We are absolutely thrilled with the service provided by Joe! From our first meeting, it was clear that he truly wanted to understand us as a couple. He took the time to get to know...
our personalities, our love story, and what mattered most to us for our ceremony. On the day of the wedding, he created an atmosphere that was both heartfelt and uplifting, capturing the essence of our relationship perfectly. Many guests commented on how personal and touching the ceremony was—it felt uniquely ours. We couldn't have asked for a better person to lead us into our new life together. Highly recommend to any couple looking for an officiant who goes above and beyond!

e could joke with and be ourselves around. Joe took the time to get to know us and our story, our passions, and our friends. He's versatile and dynamic, and will work with your spiritual/religious or non-religious preferences. He was open and easy to collaborate with to create a ceremony that absolutely blew my mind. His speech brought me to tears and made me laugh out loud. Our guests agreed that it was beautiful and perfect in every way. Joe is a genuine, kind, bright shining light of a human being with a amazing talent, and I can not thank him enough. I can not recommend him enough. Meet him yourself and you'll see! Thank you, Joe!! Love, Lisa and Cameron

We really wanted to hire a professional officiant for our wedding and we’re so glad we went with Joe! We met a few times over Zoom where he learned about us and I felt like we were...
fairly awkward and didn’t always know how to describe our relationship in a way that would help write a ceremony yet he put together a ceremony that felt so authentic to us. Many people thought he already knew us! Before the ceremony we went over any edits we had for the script. Joe was a total professional, knew when to step to the side for big “picture moments”, and is charismatic and not awkward and nervous in front of the guests. I’m so glad we hired Joe to perform the ceremony. I would highly recommend him to anyone getting married!

We were incredibly fortunate to have Dr. Joe as our wedding officiant, and he turned our special day into an unforgettable experience. Right from our first meeting, it was clear th...
at Dr. Joe was fully committed to crafting a ceremony as unique as our love story. His dedication to getting to know us, not just as a couple but as individuals, added a heartfelt personal touch that made our day truly special.
As we stood at the altar, it felt as if he had known us our entire lives, creating a warm and familiar atmosphere.
One of the most remarkable aspects of Dr. Joe's service was his effort to involve our friends and family in the ceremony. He seamlessly integrated their heartwarming and sometimes humorous anecdotes into the ceremony, making it incredibly intimate and touching.
Dr. Joe's words were not merely scripted lines but genuine expressions of love, support, and a deep understanding of our relationship. His heartfelt words resonated with everyone present, forging a powerful emotional connection that left an indelible mark on our hearts.
Throughout the ceremony, his eloquence and charisma held our guests and us in rapt attention, leaving them with a lasting memory of our special day.
In summary, Dr. Joe went above and beyond, exceeding our wildest expectations. He created a ceremony that was not only personal but also an authentic reflection of our love story. His dedication, attention to detail, and heartfelt words made our wedding day an extraordinary experience that we, our friends, and our family will cherish forever. We are grateful for his presence and the pivotal role he played in making our day truly magical. If you're searching for an officiant who will make your wedding day uniquely special and unforgettable, look no further – we wholeheartedly recommend him.

Dr. Joe was an incredible officiant to work with!
As a wedding DJ, ironing out the little details of the ceremony can sometimes be a hassle with inexperienced officiants, but my e...
xperience with Dr. Joe was quite the opposite! He was very detail oriented and gave me peace of mind knowing that we were in tune throughout the ceremony.
Dr. Joe really cares about what he does and it shows in his interactions with the VIPs, guests, and vendors alike. He is a pleasure to work with and to be around and I can not say enough good things about working with him. I really hope to work with him again in the future!
10/10 would recommend him for your wedding!!

Dr. Joseph Noeliste recently served as the officiant for the wedding ceremony of my son and new daughter-in-law at Upper Larimer venue in Denver. Dr. Joe did an amazing job! It i...
s clear that he took his responsibilities as wedding officiant very seriously. In listening to his heartfelt words during the ceremony, it was evident that he had taken the time and effort to really get to know and understand this sweet couple. He was able to accurately and tenderly relate their story in a way that brought smiles, tears and laughter to our guests. He seemed to know the couple so well that guests were nodding in agreement as he described them. He seamlessly wove the couple's individual family stories into the story of their journey as a couple in a thoroughly entertaining way. Dr. Joe listened to the wishes of my son and his bride to set just the right tone for them. (For example, the couple did not want an overly religious ceremony, but did want to include sacred readings). Dr. Joe crafted a wedding ceremony that was perfectly tailored to this couple. We so appreciated his beautiful and deeply touching words on their wedding day. Thank you, Dr. Joe

Dr Joe made our vows unforgettable!
We are so thankful that we found Dr. Joe through weddingwire.com. At our first zoom meeting, we immediately felt at ease with him and he really...
listened and asked about our journey leading to marriage. We opted to not write our own vows, and all I can say is that Dr Joe did an amazing job! Everyone that attended were very complimentary to Dr Joe's ceremony. He took the time to learn our story and wrote a beautiful (and witty) introduction, our vows encapselated exactly what we wanted to say to each other and it made more than a few folks cry (in a good way). I would absolutely recommend Dr. Joe!!

We had the most amazing experience with Dr. Joe! He made our big day and the days leading up to the wedding so special and easy! We were still officiant shopping approx. 3 weeks pr...
ior to our wedding date, and Dr. Joe went above and beyond to ensure we were all prepared in that short timeline. We met a couple times to discuss the script and flow of the wedding, we made minor changes, and he was very accommodating with those changes. He even took the initiative to reach out to our closest friends to get some unique details about our story and included those details as a wonderful surprise for us during the ceremony. He made sure that he tailored the ceremony to what we wanted and made sure our beautiful story was relayed to our guests.
Another amazing service Dr. Joe offers is DJ’ing. It was so helpful to have him as officiant and DJ as he made sure the flow of the wedding was perfect. We were able to provide him with songs that we wanted to play, and he filled out the rest of the playlist. It was so easy! He really made our micro-wedding flow with ease, everyone had such a great time and we couldn’t be happier of how it turned out.
Throughout the night, so many of our guests thanked him and told us how amazing he was. Everyone appreciated the beautiful words and ceremony he put together. He made everything so personal, and it seemed like he was a close friend that has known us for a long time. We couldn’t be happier with the decision we made with Dr. Joe!

We LOVE Joe!
Our guests thought we known Joe for many years because he made our vows and our ceremony so special and personal!
We found Joe on the knot and we were so lucky to fin...
d him amongst the many pages of officiants. We never wanted anything too serious or religious, if you are looking for that, Joe could probably make it work that’s just how good he is but we enjoyed the meaningful and comical and FUN aspect.
We both love playing video games and hanging out with our furbabies, he took that big part of us and leveled it up!
We had trouble with coming up with our vows but Joe was so awesome he wrote some for us. Joe is very flexible in what you want and he will leave things open to change to whatever you like. For us it wasn’t too much because he blew us away with the first draft.
The biggest part of it was EVERYONE loved loved loved our ceremony!
It was the kick off to our cocktail hour and laid the night out perfectly!
Joe had some great ideas for the ceremony that including bubbles that everyone blew right after we kissed and our first walk down the aisle as husband and wife.
We even requested to have the script so we could hang it up and always remember it.
Joe is talented and unique, thoughtful and compassionate.
Let him be a part of your day!
Make your wedding fun!

ast thing we wanted to do was search all around for an officiant who would fit our lifestyle. Joe was exactly what we were looking for but never knew we could find! He was kind, open minded when it came to what we wanted, and most of all he made it FUN. Weddings are stressful and when someone can walk in and make the process enjoyable - know that they are a WINNER! He was helpful in all things officiant but also all things music! During the rehearsal we got a peek into what was to come but we had no idea the ceremony would be so perfect! Joe was not only fun during the ceremony but he was able to capture our love by bringing in real moments described to him by our friends and family. He brought such a unique perspective to our love by not only showing how my husband and I feel about each other but how our loved ones view our relationship. Then to top it all off he sang for the crowd and had everyone at the event dancing and singing along. I'll tell you that Joe made our wedding day so special I don't think we OR our guests will forget it!
