James Simmons was our officiant for our recent elopement and brought a lot of joy and levity to our ceremony. We hired him early and had good communication throughout our engagement. He was even kind enough to reschedule with us when COVID-19 impacted everything. We had a secular ceremony, he performed it with joy, and we were happy to have him be part of our day.

I cannot recommend Rev. Simmons enough. He brought humor and personality, coordinated the rehearsal, the day of, and customized everything for us. Hands down the best in town! Every raved about how great he was and thought we had known him for years.

James was an absolutely great choice for our wedding. He's knowledgeable, personable, patient, and makes you feel at ease in front of everyone during the ceremony. James has lots of examples of prayers, vows, and readings on his website so it makes everything very easy to plan the ceremony. I knew that I would have trouble reading my vows in front of everyone so James was more than happy to read them for us. When going through multiple websites, I noticed that the officiants are always standing next to the couple for their first kiss. James let us know ahead of time that halfway through the ceremony he moves to the side so that it will only be the couple in the first kiss pictures. I would never have thought about this and was so happy when he mentioned it. I'm definitely glad we chose James as the officiant of our wedding, and we would highly recommend.
