"It's rare you come across such amazing service these days & always a huge surprise when you do. Chris, from your first response to our enquiry, to sharing a glass of champagne with our friends after the ceremony you were an absolute dream to work with. You truly made the whole process totally painless & smooth as clockwork. Great efficiency, knowledge of any & all issues we needed to query, sensitive to our every issue, unbelievably flexible & super professional. We'd have absolutely no hesitation in recommending your wonderful service.Our sincerest thanks always."
"Thank you for the best wedding ceremony ever! We couldn't have done this without your help, Chris. We never knew how complicated it could be to get married and you were so helpful and so knowledgeable that you put us at ease and made us feel taken care of. I'm such a worrier and it was so wonderful to not have to worry about our wedding minister because you really know your stuff! It sure helps that you are an attorney because there's a lot more legal stuff than we care to know about getting married with immigration and visa problems but you knew so much about what we needed to do. You made it so easy for us."
"I was so nervous in front of all of our friends and family during our beach wedding ceremony---it's such a big moment in your life to get married and it seemed so surreal. But you made it so calming for us---not only is your voice very soothing but your manner is so gentle that we just glided right through. It was a moment I'll never forget and I really appreciate your being there for us."
"Thanks for not only officiating at our wedding ceremony, but being very helpful with our California marriage licence. Plus, that wedding vow kit you emailed us really helped us to put together a wedding vow that really fit our relationship and our personalities."
". . .great recommendation on that really quiet beach for our wedding location. It was so cool to be there all by ourselves. And thanks for recommending our photographer who was so artistic and fun. You were essential to our sanity in planning our wedding."
"I had no idea how legally complicated it was to get married on a cruise. Apparently it's a bureaucratic nightmare after you get back home. I'm so glad I checked before we went out to sea. Thankfully you were there for us. We were so glad you were there so quickly. Right on! We called you on Monday, and you got us a marriage licence and married us on a moments notice before we sailed. Thanks so much for being there and explaining the details of how to get an emergency marriage license. We appreciate your help."
"Please accept our sincere thanks for all of your help in officiating our wedding. . . This was a memorable day for us and thanks to you everything was exactly how we imagined it would be. Our day was truly perfect! We found your services to be professional in every way. You made us feel comfortable before the wedding that everything would be taken care of. The day of the wedding, you showed up on time (as promised) and were prepared for every possible circumstance. It was wonderful knowing that we never had to worry. We will be happy to refer your services to other couples who are holding a wedding in Southern California. . ."
". . .and we appreciate that you were so open-minded about our wishes to have atheist wedding vows. Sorry I grilled you when we talked on the phone about it, but my best friend's wedding officiant promised to honor their wishes about performing a non-religious wedding ceremony, but then the wedding minister slipped in the Lord's Prayer at the end!! He was furious because if you're asking for a nonreligious ceremony, you're asking for a non-religous ceremony. I just didn't want to go through the same thing. But you were great! I feel like you understood us. Thanks for being so respectful of who we are."
"Chris, Thank you so much for making our simple ceremony meaningful and fun! You have a great style and personality, and you have a wonderful family. Thanks for being there for our special day. We wish the best of luck. . ."
"I just wanted to write to you to thank you for a lovely highlight to an amazing day. It was just perfect. I loved the way that the day unfolded and it was better than I had ever imagined. I think you have a great way of conducting the proceedings from the paperwork to the ceremony, and we are both very appreciative of this . . . Many thanks,"
"Thank you so much for helping make our wedding day so perfect. Your calm and aplomb set the tone and made us feel relaxed and comfortable. We'll tell our un-married friends about you!"
"We wanted to thank you for the excellent way you handled our wedding ceremony. Your calm presence was appreciated and your recitation of our vows was dignified and heartfelt. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!"
"Thanks again Chris!!!! what a stroke of good fortune it was finding you. . ."
"We apologize for not writing you earlier, but we wanted to thank you so much for your participation in our special day. We really appreciate you waiting in the lines for us and for helping us through writing the vows. I (Bri) was nervous going into the day that this, that, or the other wouldn't go as planned, but your calmness and deliberateness throughout the ceremony gave our marriage a very positive start. We wouldn't have changed a thing! :) . . .Thank you again!"
"Thank you again for being a part of our special day. I have to say that in our book, your nickname should be "The Efficient Guy". You handled all of our questions so smoothly and quickly, and we really appreciated that."
"Chris was fabulous. He was so sweet, on time and did not hesitate in having to get his feet dirty in the sand for our beach wedding. Thank you Chris for your flexibility and for your warmth and kindness. We appreciate you participating in our day and making it as special as it was. "
"Thank you so much for participating in our day. We enjoyed every minute of it and we appreciated you being prompt professional and personable. You must love your job!"
"Chris was great! Exactly what we were looking for! We had total control with our ceremony and made it exactly how we had always envisioned. Chris was able to review it and give us his opinion and reassured us that it made sense and flowed nicely. He has a great calming voice and was very respectful. Thanks Chris for being apart of our day!"
"I highly recommend Officiant Guy.We had to bump up our wedding date for family and they made sure to accomodate us. The information they provide to plan your wedding ceremony is great and effortless. They made our day truly special!Thanks very much. "
"Chris was great and delivered our ceremony in the exact way we wanted. The price was reasonable. The only drawback is that he will not meet you before the wedding day. While this made me a little nervous, don't worry... consider it one less appt in a busy bride/groom schedule and trust that he will deliver the wedding you want."
"This guy was very helpful. He answered all of our questions, and was willing to do exactly what we wanted. He showed up on time and looked very professional. The cost was a bit pricey compared to some others I had looked into, but overall it was worth it to feel confident that he was going to show up and give us the ceremony we wanted."
"We were searching high and low for an officiant that was familiar with the Aloha tradition. Even within the Hawaiian communities in LA and Orange counties, we had no luck.
Chris was recommended to us by our wedding planner, Liz Coopersmith. He is flexible with the types of styles and ended up being the right choice.
Chris came in and precided over aour Aloha style wedding ceremony and pulled it off amazingly well. We threw him a bunch of Hawaiian words and lots of Aloha tradition for our ceremony, and he was able to work with it and make it flow smoothly. I'm sure that wasn't the easiest of tasks. We were very pleased to have him there for us. Plus, Chris is just a nice guy."
