💜💜💜💜💜. 2/15/2020
Joe was extremely professional. He reached out to us so we could get a better idea of what personalized touch he could add. Within a few minutes of our conversation, I realized his intent was genuine and would give us a meaningful ceremony on short notice. He asked us some critical questions so he could provide a wonder service, as if he had known both of us for our entire lives. My wife and I are very lucky he does this and feel like he is spreading charity through what he does. I would say if you decide to go with Joe, you are in some very trust worthy hands

Joe was wonderful to deal with from beginning to end. He was very well-organized and everything he communicated to us verbally we also received in email, which we greatly appreciated. He gets to know you as a couple with just a short meeting, though you're welcome to send him more details as they come to you later, and puts together very moving words with a personal touch. Joe has a very friendly, pleasant demeanor that we and our guests liked. Several guests remarked to us how much they enjoyed the ceremony. With everything going on leading up to the wedding, we did exactly what Joe warned us about and forgot to bring our paperwork but he was very understanding and patiently waited for us to have someone retrieve it. He also went the extra mile for us with the marriage certificate. We were very pleased with our choice. We would recommend him to any couple.

This man is god sent. He did a stand up job for my ceremony. He wasn't corny in the delivery of his words. Everything was perfectly said and flowed so well. Effortless and wonderful sense of humor I really appreciate. He went the extra mile to help me get the groom on board with saying our own personal vows. He even helped my husband with his chronic writers block. You can’t go wrong with Joe! --Jessica & AJ

💜💜💜💜💜. 3/5/2019
Joe truly deserves 5 stars! Joe officiated our wedding in September of 2018 and we couldn't be happier with our experience. From the first e-mail, we could tell that he was very organized, thorough, and professional, which are highly valuable traits to have in a vendor for one of the most stressful events of your life. When we first met him, he explained his entire process and walked us through the flow of events between that day and turning in our marriage license, which was extremely helpful for us planning and envisioning our wedding. He took the time to get to know us as intimately as possible, as individuals, and as a couple, to help us become comfortable with him and to help him prepare for the ceremony. He gave us effective and easy to follow advice for writing our vows and offered to help us as much as necessary. The knowledge and experience he displayed greatly reduced our stress and wiped away much of the trepidation we had about writing our vows, preparing for the ceremony, and planning our wedding. Joe followed up with us after our first meeting, detailing everything that we discussed in writing. He continued to communicate with us up to our wedding day, ensuring that everything was on track and all was well. Joe combined everything he learned about ourselves, our relationship, our friends, and our family into an incredibly thoughtful, meaningful, and personal ceremony. He ended the ceremony with advice for our relationship that we will always remember and will always try to heed. As you can tell, Joe is an incredible officiant and a wonderful person. I hope everyone who reads this has the opportunity for him to officiate their wedding! -- Christopher and Angelina
💜💜💜💜💜. 11/13/2018
When we first met Joe, he was prepared with the questions he would use to create a personalized ceremony for our wedding. First he asked questions about us as a couple, how we met, history, our families and what kind of a ceremony we would like. The basics. However, I think what set Joe apart from the rest of the officiants we interviewed was the fact that he interviewed us to talk about what were truly loved and valued about one another. It felt very personalized. We booked him 9 months prior to the wedding and didn't even have to remind him about anything for the ceremony. He had everything organized to the "T" and it was absolutely perfect. 30 minutes prior to the wedding, he checked in with me and my husband to see how we were feeling, if we felt nervous and if there was anything he could do for us. He reiterated on multiple occasions that he wanted to be a part of our family. Even in that moment of stress, he took the time to really check in. He also made sure that we had our vows ready to go. The ceremony was quick 25 minutes, which all of our guests loved that it was succinct, memorable, and thoughtful. We laughed and we cried during our ceremony - it was something we'll never forget. Our wedding ceremony was beautiful, and I'm so glad Joe Stasi was a part of that moment in our lives. - Mischelle and Eddie
💜💜💜💜💜. 10/30/2018
Joe officiated our wedding at Saratoga Springs and was wonderful! I could tell from our initial meeting, he really took pride in his work and cared about getting to know us. Throughout the entire process, he was always responsive and helpful to questions. Come wedding day, we could not have asked for anything better. He got there early to meet with us and discuss any last minute details. He made us feel comfortable. He explained our 'story' beautifully and, from what I've heard, the audience really enjoyed his energy and thoughtfulness. He was so personable and made our ceremony unique to us, which was so special. The day after, we even received a congratulatory email, and he let us know when he would mail the marriage license. Overall, working with Joe was such a wonderful and easy experience in a time that could be very stressful. I highly recommend Joe, you won’t be disappointed! Thank you so much, Joe!! - Matt and Alex
💜💜💜💜💜 9/25/2018
It was an absolute pleasure working with Joe from our first messages through pre-wedding correspondence and up to the ceremony and beyond. We immediately felt comfortable from Joe. He asked us important personal questions and listened to our needs and requests. He made us feel so confident in our choice. The ceremony was exactly what we wanted. Our guests had so many nice things to say about Joe and people thought we had been long time friends with him, which is how we felt by the end of our wedding. Thank you Joe for helping us make our day so special.
- Allegra and Mikey
💜💜💜💜💜 10/3/2018
Joe was a treasure find! We were less than two weeks from our ceremony day with no officiant. We emailed Joe and received a response almost immediately. Luckily he was available to officiate our ceremony! The first and only meeting was great. He asked the right questions to get to know us and set an intimate ceremony about us. The day itself went perfect! Even though Joe was not feeling well that day he did not let us down, he delivered our ceremony and tried to stay sometime after for the reception. We highly recommend Joe. - Johanna and Craig
💜💜💜💜💜 9/24/2018
My husband and got married on 9/16/2018 I found Joe on his web site. I could not have asked for one better. When we first met Joe both my husband and I knew after our meeting with Joe that he was the one. We could have not asked for anyone better. I highly recommend Joe – you will not be disappointed. One week before my wedding my favorite uncle passed away and Joe added a little sometime in the service about him that was so much appreciated. He did such an awesome job in adding both our parents into the ceremony as well as telling our unique story. Thank you so much Joe you are the best!!!!!! With love – the new Mr. and Mrs. Steven Torres. - Dorie and Steve
💜💜💜💜💜 9/13/2018
The first time we spoke to Joe on the phone, we knew he must officiate our wedding. We were prepared to bring our personal checks to pay and book him and truly, he didn’t disappoint. During our first meeting, he greeted us with his warm smile and demeanor. His attention to details is remarkable. He sent us an email summary of our discussion, which we appreciate. He responded to email so quickly to answer my questions, that it eliminated some of the wedding stressors. Then the ceremony came, and we were blown away. He was able to coordinate and direct the crowd accordingly. Husband and I are Christians. I am Filipino and husband is Filipino and Caucasian, but we chose the basic wedding package and customized it with a blessing in the end, which lasted about 20-30 min. The good part about Joe is, he is flexible. You can add and remove segments in your ceremony according to your desire and background. He also has the ability to mirror our personality and translates it into words. He gave a great (and funny!) description of how we met and how our love transformed. And it felt like he knew us for a long time (but really, he only met us for 2 hours) Wedding ceremony doesn’t have to be funny, but we didn’t want it to be dull either. Like I said, he is able to mirror our personality which gave me and my husband the courage to be funny. We were so comfortable with him that we invited him to our reception. We consider Joe as part of our family and part of us, who made our ceremony spectacular. We love that he is also a dog lover. Joe has been one of our best decisions we made. Highly recommend him! Don’t second guess, book him! You will not regret it. Communicate how you want your ceremony and he will deliver. Joe, thank you for officiating our wedding beyond our expectations. We are absolutely blessed to have met you. - Kristel and Brendan
💜💜💜💜💜 8/14/2018
My husband and I got married on July 28, 2018. We are so glad that we found Joe to be our wedding officiate. He was amazing! He really made our ceremony perfect. Joe is very professional and organized. I loved how he really incorporated "our story" beautifully into our ceremony. It made us both feel really emotional allowing us to reflect back to how we met and why we were getting married. All of our guests had nothing but great things to say about how beautiful our ceremony was and how our officiant "did a great job!" Joe was great to work with throughout the entire process. From our first meeting to follow up emails, which he is always very responsive to.
He went to our rehearsal and did a great job there as well. He had lots of great suggestions for our day of coordinator on how he usually does ceremonies which I am so glad he voiced his suggestions because it made everything more organized. I felt so stress free working with Joe. He ensured us with a congratulatory email the next day that he will take care of the filing of the marriage license and that we should request to have a copy of our own. If you want to work with an officiant who will make your wedding ceremony personalized, stress free and easy to work with, Joe is the person to go to. You will not regret it at all. I am so happy with his service as he really delivered! Thank you so much Joe for being a part of our special day and making it even more special with your kind words.

💜💜💜💜💜 June 14, 2018
We were so lucky to have found Joe in our search for a wedding officiate! We read reviews about him on Yelp, Wedding Wire, and on his website, and got a good vibe from them right away. What stood out most to us in reading others' reviews, was how Joe really took the time to create personalized ceremonies for each couple.
Our first meeting with Joe was great and we learned so much. He's not only an officiate, but a thoughtful adviser and friend. He made us feel so comfortable! He spent time asking us about each other, our relationship, and showed us that writing wedding vows can be painless! Joe also guided us to choose the type of wedding ceremony that was perfect for us. On top of everything, Joe gave us a lot great advice for our relationship and life together.
On our wedding day, before the ceremony, I actually found out from Joe that my aunt is his hair stylist. Small world! The ceremony ended up being perfect. Joe was funny and made our guests laugh. We got great feedback from friends and family. We invited Joe to stay for the reception, and were so happy that he got to know our close friends and family. They really enjoyed talking to Joe and had a wonderful time.
We are so lucky to have had Joe officiate our wedding. He made the most nerve-racking part of our wedding day easy and fun. He told our guests about our story and really made the ceremony special for us. Thank you, Joe!

We picked Joe Stasi after reading these reviews and they mentioned how funny and personal he makes the ceremony! That's exactly what we wanted, and it's exactly what we got :) he was great about letting me add some religious aspects like prayers which made my parents very happy ;). 10/10 would recommend!

💜💜💜💜💜 April 26, 2018
Joe did an incredible job officiating our wedding! The ceremony was short and sweet, and all of our guests loved everything he had to say. He gave our wedding such an intimate feel and he really helped us relax. He also took care of our marriage license and mailed it out after the wedding. We definitely recommend him!

We would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for delivering the best officiating service.

It was very personal that everyone was moved to tears and could definitely feel the story you told. - Anita and Forest
💜💜💜💜💜 March 8, 2018
Joe was absolutely amazing. I actually had my grandmother give me a lasso on the wedding day that I didn't know about until that day. I was nervous that it was a last minute thing on Joe when he got there. He didn't freak out, instead at the ceremony he had everything handled beautiful and explained the lasso. He is just well prepared and really on top of things. I would recommend him. - Rhea and Rod

💜💜💜💜💜 November 13, 2017
Like many of you reading this review, my wife and I had no idea what to expect when we first reached out to Joe Stasi. We had a couple family members suggest more traditional routes, such as a priest, minister, or ordained family friend... however, my wife and I knew that our event called for a true professional who could capture the moment, read the crowd, adjust to variables, and create a magical atmosphere that our guests would never forget. Joe went above and beyond the call of duty for us - and having a seasoned vet, like Joe, to guide us through the ceremony portion of our wedding was really an invaluable service that took an enormous weight off our shoulders. From our first meeting, he made every detail simple and easy. He outlined the ceremony clearly, he constructed a wonderful game plan for us, he provided fantastic advice to help us get started on our vows, and he made himself available for questions or clarity any time we needed any answers. I could not recommend Joe any more highly. For any prospective couple looking to knock out a potentially cumbersome task with the highest quality of results, please consider reaching out to Joe Stasi. My wife and I are extremely happy we did. - Jon and Elizabeth

We are thankful for everything he’d done for us. We would totally recommend Joe. - Vy and Minh

💜💜💜💜💜 September 2, 2017
Joe was amazing. When we first met him, he did an intense interview with us to get to know us, how we met, things we love about one another, etc. He then also went over with us the process of the wedding and answered all of our questions about the legal process. On our wedding day, he had created a unique, personalized way to officiate us based on our interview. He was so great. We really enjoyed having him officiate our wedding. Let me tell you, it was almost like he was a part of our family. He is so easy going, fun to talk to, and absolutely GREAT at officiating! I highly recommend him!! - Katie and Shariff

We had an amazing wedding and Joe was a big part of it. From the beginning he was a joy to work with.

- Jessica and Liam
💜💜💜💜💜 August 27, 2017
Warm, sincere, and memorable. These are three positive words amongst many that can be used to describe Joe's services as wedding officiant. From the starting point, he had been highly responsive to our inquiries as we were organizing our wedding from overseas. Joe took the time to get to know us via video conference, and applied what he learned about us beautifully during the ceremony. Easily likeable, gentle, prompt, and personable, that's what we got from him the day we met him in person. He made everyone feel at ease on our wedding day. And the ceremony, needless to say, was just beautiful. Definitely not a cookie cutter ceremony. Even after the wedding, he made it a point to keep in touch with us. More than an officiant, we have gained a friend. We highly recommend Joe Stasi to officiate your wedding - Manny and Rocky
💜💜💜💜💜 August 27, 2017
Joe Stasi was very professional. He easily adapted to our requests and improvised smoothly well when we forgot something. He was delightfully funny and charming and quickly felt like family. I would highly recommend -Erin and Eric
💜💜💜💜💜 August 23, 2017
We enjoyed having Joe as our wedding officiant. He is such a personable and sociable man. He sat down with us and listened to our life stories. Then he used this story in our wedding to customize the ceremony. Meeting with Joe took all of our stress and anxiety away. Joe's ceremonies are NOT generic. He puts specifics about the couples in the ceremony. I particularly liked the fact that he mentioned the name of our parents (who are overseas and not able to be there). I highly recommend Joe to whoever wants to have a fun and memorable wedding ceremony. - Fahimeh and Shervin
💜💜💜💜💜 July 10, 2017
Joe was a fantastic officiant! He was easy to work with beforehand, and made the effort to get to know us. He told OUR story as opposed to some canned language at the ceremony. And as an added bonus, he has a great, warm voice! - Zach and Stephanie
💜💜💜💜💜 July 1, 2017
My Husband and I were married earlier last month, and the ceremony was beautiful! Joe Stasi was extremely friendly, funny (which is hard to find believe it or not), and he was very professional at the same time. He made Eric and I feel comfortable right from the start. He had a plan for us, tailored specifically for us, and executed it perfectly. We couldn't have asked for a better man for the job! Thank you SO MUCH, JOE!

💜💜💜💜💜 June 19, 2017
My husband and I got married this weekend and Joe was absolutely amazing! I recall how he described he was going to do the ceremony when we first met and it was everything he said and more. I loved how he described our story, made reference to our families, and made all our guests including my husband and I both laugh and cry. He made everything easy and even helped us with our vows which we wanted to do but didn't know where to even begin. I absolutely recommend Joe and loved the entire ceremony. Joe thank you so much for the lovely ceremony and for taking such good care of us! -Claudia and Anthony
💜💜💜💜💜 June 5, 2017
Joe was AMAZING! He was so professional and so personal too. He really made our ceremony so special and personal with only meeting us once. Our initial day was great. We met with him and went over what we were going to do and he asked us questions to get to know us. He even emailed us a summary of our meeting which was awesome! After signing our marriage certificate he made sure to let us know what the next steps were and emailing us about it later too which was great because in the moment we just forgot about it all. He knows what he's doing and he makes you feel comfortable. We loved having Joe be our officiant and would recommend him to everyone! You can tell he truly loves wedding and that his heart is in it. THANK YOU JOE! - Daphne and Shane

Working with Joe was great. No one really knows how weddings work unless they are in that field. When we met Joe for the first time we both weren't sure what to expect. But there we were at Panera Bread, and immediately when we met him we saw he had a warm, welcoming and friendly personality. He made our ceremony very memorable and reminded us of how we need to always hold hands and to keep that bridge between us. There was a bit humor which was perfect for our families. Thanks Joe for such an outstanding job. - Laura and Nick

"Joe did a fantastic job collecting our guests and delivering a nice speech before we started our vows. He was calm and reassuring and I believe his demeanor helped during our special day. It also helped that even though we forgot to bring our wedding license to sign on our wedding, he went out of his way to meet us at our place to have it witnessed by my family and signed." - Monica and David

Joe Stasi officiated our wedding last month of February in Casa Real at Ruby Hill Winery. We found him on Thumbtack and he immediately replied on our message and scheduled our first meeting with him. He’s very nice and will make you feel very comfortable. He took his time to get to know us on our first meeting and always available during the wedding process for questions. He was very professional and friendly when getting to know us, exactly what we wanted for our same sex marriage ceremony. On our ceremony, he certainly went above and beyond our expectations! Our guests love him as well, everyone was touched as he made the ceremony personalized and talked about what we’ve been through in our lives. Thank you, Joe, for giving us such a wonderful and truly heartfelt wedding. We highly recommend Joe as a wedding officiant. - Rhen and Grace

We were very impressed with Joe's professionalism and the dedication that he shows to making the ceremony personalized goes unparalleled.

💜💜💜💜💜 January 6, 2017
When my daughter and I were planning her wedding we searched via Thumbtack for an Officiant. We chose Joe because of his friendly picture and his web site. We contacted him months before the wedding. He reached out to my daughter and now son-in-law early on to meet and get to know them. It was then he gathered all of the information he needed to tell their story. Joe makes contacts early on and returns e-mails and phone calls promptly. He was on time and was patient. When he spoke during the wedding ceremony, he spoke in a gentle flow and shared his genuine self, making the ceremony very special. We were pleased with Joe and know you will be too. - Lauren and Daniel
💜💜💜💜💜 January 4, 2017
Joe does a wonderful job at what he does. He gets to know his clients which I love so he can make their ceremony very beautiful.

Thank you very much!!! - Chris and Leah

Our ceremony was perfect because of Joe. He worked with my husband and me to make it unique by including details about why our relationship is special. He was extremely responsive and made sure all the logistics were crystal clear, which was important because we structured our ceremony in a non-traditional way. My husband, my guests, and I both cried and laughed. Our guests appreciated that the ceremony truly reflected our relationship. My mom is very particular, and she was so amazed by it that she hugged Joe. I highly recommend him for any wedding! - Carmen and Patrick

Joe was absolutely wonderful. He was courteous, professional, and answered all of our questions in a timely manner. Right away we saw his demeanor as friendly and we knew we were in good hands. We met Joe for coffee, chatted a bit, and he asked us questions about ourselves and our relationship. From just that 1 hour chat, Joe wrote a beautiful, personal ceremony for us. It was exactly what we wanted, from the tone to the length. It was light hearted, warm, and we received many compliments on the ceremony overall, much of which could be attributed to Joe. I highly recommend his services. - Cindy and Matthew

Joe was our officiant at our wedding. He did an amazing job. It was truly memorable. When we met with him at our sit down, it felt like catching up with an old friend. He was easy to talk to.

Joe was great and made our ceremony a memorable moment. He is fun and easy to talk to. He listens to you and make you feel comfortable like a friend/family member. He entertained our guests and they loved it. Because we had to plan our wedding from out of state (Atlanta, GA) we actually did not met Joe in person until the day of the wedding. All the conversations we had with Joe was via skype, email, and txt messages. He was very thorough and detail oriented. When I spoke with him the first time, over the phone, I knew right away that I could trust him. We are happy that we picked him because he made our wedding day an unforgettable moment. I highly recommend Joe to anyone looking for an officiant. - Long and Thuy
💜💜💜💜💜 September 21, 2016
We originally liked him because we wanted a neutral officiant who did not lecture about marriage or religion. But after we met him, we loved his format for the ceremony; not too short/long and all about us. He took time to get to know us and incorporated all our ideas into the ceremony. He was comfortable in front of the crowd which in turn made us feel at ease. He has a great sense of humor which complimented ours. At the end of the day, we were told that our wedding ceremony was sincere, funny, heartfelt, portrayed our personalities to a "T", and folks were passing out tissue the entire time. What more could we ask for?! We cannot say enough amazing things about Joe! THANK YOU!!! - Gisele and Kevin

Joe Stasi was really great to work with and was an excellent officiant. I highly recommend him. Our family and friends loved the personal touch he added to our ceremony - there were lots of laughs and lots tears of joy!
My husband and I were blown away when we first met Joe. We met for coffee for an initial interview to see if we're a good fit. The meeting was a success. I liked how organized he was. He went through his list of general questions, he walked us through his ceremonies, and then turned it around on us and started asking some deep questions about our relationship.
We felt like the meeting was very refreshing. We've been together for 10+ years so it was very nice to hear what each of us had to say about one another. For me (the bride) at that time, I was so caught up in all the wedding planning and busy with work, I felt like the planning was more of a to-do list and not really taking the time to enjoy our engagement. So, for me, the meeting with Joe was a reminder for me to change my way of thinking and embrace what's going on. In that short meeting, he got to know a bit about us and knew we wanted him to be part of our wedding. If he was able to get us emotional and already had us envisioning our big day - we knew he would be a good fit.
Joe reached out to us a couple weeks prior to check-in and review the ceremony to make sure we were all on the same page. Glad he did because my hubby and I were having a hard time writing our own vows - so we decided to switch it up a bit. Joe was very flexible and OK with the last minute change.
Our Special Day was magical. The ceremony was perfection! He started by welcoming our family and friends, talked about relationships and a bit about our love story, then our vows, followed by the exchange of rings. We (and our family agrees) loved how he shared a bit of our love story with our guests right before we did our vows. It took us back to where we started and where we were at that very moment. Really couldn't get any better for us based on all that we've been through. Someone from the family said it was like scene right out of a Nicholas Sparks book! :)
The whole goal for our wedding was to make our guests feel welcomed and really enjoy themselves. Joe definitely helped with that --- I loved that Joe was able to spread the joy, love and excitement that my husband and I were feeling and make it a ceremony our loved ones will never forget. It's been two weeks since the wedding and we're still receiving great comments about the ceremony. Some say they've never been so emotional at a wedding...definitely a day we will always remember. - Julie and Bill

We hired Joe to officiate our wedding and we absolutely made the right decision. After a quick meeting to get to know us and our history, he was able to tailor the ceremony to incorporate all of the elements that we wanted while also telling a very sweet story about our relationship. He's very easy going and works to make sure that the bride and groom get a personal ceremony that they will love. - Mike and Megan

My wife and I hired Joe as our wedding officiant and he was the perfect choice. A few months before the big day, he met with us to get to know us better. He was very friendly, and he knew how to ask the right questions to put together our story. Everything went smoothly on the wedding day. Joe delivered the ceremony in the authentic and light-hearted style that we wanted. We had a bunch of comments from friends and family about how much they enjoyed the ceremony and how personal it was. Throughout the process, Joe was extremely clear and thorough with his communication. Everything he was planning on doing was explicitly laid out. We are very happy with our choice! - Joe and Elaine

Mr. Joe Stasi went above and beyond the expectations we had. He spent the time to get to know each of us, as individuals, and as a couple. He had a great set of questions that really had us digging deep within ourselves, giving ourselves more insight of who we are and why we're such a great couple. With this, he crafted an amazing story of well, "us," that Joe so eloquently spoke about to our guests, which made us laugh and cry. His attention to detail and taking the time to completely understand and research our specific cultural traditions (Filipino) was nothing less than amazing. He went out of his way to learn our traditions, and suggest an order of events. We never asked for this extra research, but he gladly did it on our behalf. This significantly increased the length of our ceremony, and he had no qualms about the extra research and extended ceremony. He was more interested in making our wedding perfect. Joe is a kind person, making it so easy to work with, that we'd love to work with him over and over, but hey, we’re only getting married once! We had more of a friendly relationship, rather than a professional, business oriented one. With all the planning that a couple needs to worry about perfection, Joe certainly made us feel like this part of the wedding was the least to be concerned about. Joe, thank you for a truly amazing ceremony, and helping us to the next chapter in our lives. We could not thank you enough for the service you provided for us, and going above and beyond your average ceremony, giving great respect and interest in our ceremonial traditions. Thank You! - Danny and Sunshine

My finance and I were looking for an officiant for our garden wedding. We can across Joe's profile and contacted him. We met Joe at Panera in San Jose, and right away felt very comfortable. Joe asked us some questions about our relationship - how we met, what we do for fun. My finance and I were very happy with Joe and hired him on the spot. The ceremony Joe did was perfect. He spoke about our relationship and how we feel about each other. He made the ceremony very personable and as if he has known us for years. It was touching and solemn, yet had little pockets of humor to make sure people were paying attention. Joe is a wonderful officiant who made our special day even better. Thanks again Joe!! - Cheryl and Donny

Joe did such a wonderful job making our wedding ceremony warm, personal and memorable - it was exactly what we had envisioned. He took the time to sit down with us in advance to get to know us and ask us questions about how we met, our values, and small details about our relationship. He delivered a very genuine ceremony that encompassed our journey together. Our families and guests all commented on how great the ceremony was. Joe helped make our special day absolutely perfect, we highly recommend him!! -- Mandy and Adam

Joe was the officiant for our wedding and he was great! We were on the fence about hiring someone we didn't know and found online, but Joe took the time to get to know us and used our meeting to personalize the ceremony. He was able to get a good sense of my husband and I and our interests and was really able to incorporate that into the ceremony. We loved that he provided a copy of the ceremony to us afterwards for our memories. Thank you again for being a part of our special day!!

Joe was amazing. We felt so fortunate that we found hm. He was meticulous, organized and professional. Our ceremony was *exactly* the way we envisioned it. It’s clear from our early communications with Joe that Joe truly cares about his profession and he wants to do the best job possible. At the in-person meeting, Joe asked us on-point questions and learned our story so he could tailor a personal introduction for the ceremony. He walked us through what the ceremony would be like and he gave us valuable advice on writing personalized vows. On our wedding day he gave us helpful cues with his subtle hand gestures. His introduction sounded like he was there with us from the first day we met. We really had our perfect wedding day thanks to Joe.

After spending 2 minutes chatting with Joe at a local Panera Bread we were confident that he would provide us with a ceremony to remember for a lifetime. Joe took his TIME to carefully understand our relationship and our love in one another (myself and wife). Our ceremony was perfect, Joe acknowledged our parents and step parents and added his own special spin on our ceremony to bring our guest in to our relationship for a brief couple minutes. We appreciate you Joe! -- Nathaniel and Charis

I don't know where to start. Joe was beyond amazing. From our first meeting up to the big day he kept us informed and calm. My husband and I fell in love with him at our first initial meeting and instead of thinking about whether he was right for us, we paid him on the spot. He recommended we write our own vows and kept in touch throughout the months leading up to the wedding. Every time I emailed him, his response was prompt. On the big day, he exceeded all of our expectations. We wanted a light hearted ceremony and he came through. I was especially nervous about my vows. Joe was so kind and wonderful. He told me to breathe and take as many breaks as I need. I'm not sure I could have gotten through it without him. I would totally recommend him to all my family and friends. He made the ceremony wonderful. -- Stacie and Shane
💜💜💜💜💜 October 30, 2015
Joe was very personable from the beginning. His communication was excellent and he always responded quickly to emails. He met with us way before the wedding so he could personalize the ceremony. At the ceremony, he had a warm, friendly presence while maintaining a professional demeanor. He was also able to project his voice in the outdoor setting without a microphone. I would definitely recommend him to other couples! -- Jacquie and Tony

Joe was absolutely amazing! For the initial meeting, we set up FaceTime and right away we knew he would be a great officiant, very relaxed and easy going. We met twice before the wedding day for an initial setup meeting and rehearsal. Joe is really good about breaking down the details of the ceremony and making sure we felt comfortable through the process. The day of ceremony was up to expectations and went smoothly thanks to Joe's guidance during rehearsal. Highly recommended!!!

Joe was our officiant. And we love him. He was professional. Because of that we got our mind freed up for the ceremony, but focused on other things. He met with us and let us talk about our story.

There was a last minute changes that could have caused some problems on our wedding day. The venue (SF City Hall) called while we were on our way, and they changed the wedding site to the 4th floor instead of the original Mayor's balcony. Joe handled the relocation with poise and professionalism and helped to decrease our anxiety. He also was kind enough to allow my Pastor Jane to pronounce us together on short notice prior to the ceremony. Pastor Jane is an advocate for inclusion and change within the Methodist church to promote all Methodist members to be married in the church. I met Joe thru some of my close friends from AHUMC. I gained more than an officiate, I gained a new friend. His passion to have my day special meant the world to me. His own relationship has prepared him to channel love and compassion into your special day. I highly recommend Joe for any couple wanting the personal touch on the most important day of a relationship.

I basically find fault with things for a living and I can't think of one negative thing to say about Joe or the unforgettable wedding ceremony he created for me and my wife. From our first email exchange to his unforgettable presence on the big day, Joe's positive attitude and casual approach put us at ease, something we sorely needed during the turbulent wedding planning process. Joe's laid-back demeanor belies a meticulous attention to detail. Our only in-person consultation was a friendly forty-five minute chat over coffee, but from that brief encounter he created a remarkably personal ceremony. It braided two religious and cultural traditions together beautifully and really touched us and our guests. Joe is affordable, friendly and really gets what makes a wedding ceremony special. I can't possibly overstate the positive impact he had on our special day or recommend him highly enough to other couples seeking an officiant for theirs. -- --Greg and Shalaun

We found Joe through the recommendation of our friend Emma who sent us a list of possible ministers who will officiate our ceremony. The moment we read his profile, we KNEW that he's the one. Who else can best exemplify the sanctity of marriage but a person who has been married for 35 years (and counting)? We also admire the fact that Joe is a staunch supporter of LGBT rights in the country and as a same-sex couple, it is very important for us to have an officiant who understands and empathize with our desire to seal this commitment and celebrate our love in front of our family and friends.
Thank you JOE for being such a great part of our wedding. You're like our huggable Santa Claus---so endearing, sincere. Your charm made for such a special wedding ceremony. I recommend him to everyone, same-sex or heterosexual couples as you wedding officiant. It makes such a big difference when your minister genuinely cares. --Liza and Cy
