Best Officiant Ever, Best Choice!

The Best Day Ever Officiant was amazing!! John made our day so special. The ceremony was so personal and intimate. He took the time to get to know us before our wedding day and really listened to all we had to say and used that info to make our ceremony incredibly personal. I'm a wedding photographer, and I've been to a LOT of weddings in the past decade, but John is among the very best officiants. We eloped, and he was the perfect choice to make our day awesome. He even arrived early to scope the area out and found the best spot for us. He cares not just for the wedding day, but genuinely invests in his clients. We clicked with him the first time we met over the phone, and really feel like he fit right into our day perfectly. We didn't just get an officiant. We got a friend. If you haven't booked him yet, do it now! You won't regret it.

Best Wedding Officiant EVER!!

John Candler was more than just an AMAZING officiant for our wedding- he made our special day even more special and memorable. He took the time to get to know us as a couple and crafted a ceremony that perfectly captured our love story. We were unsure of what vows we wanted and he was able to give us 8 options right off the bat! Vows were actually something we were stressing about, so just being able to guide us through how to craft the ceremony was incredible. He was an absolute professional! On the big day, he delivered the ceremony flawlessly, keeping the mood light and joyful. John was an invaluable person to work with, and we couldn't have asked for a better officiant for our ceremony. After the ceremony, John helped us with our marriage license and made the entire process run so smooth and efficiently. We would recommend him to anyone getting married in the PNW.

Casual and intimate wedding

My husband and I were so thankful that John was recommended to us!
We were able to tell him our story, as crazy as it was, and he heard it beautifully into our ceremony. We use his recommendation of a location, and it couldn't have been better for what we were looking for. Meeting him on our wedding day was as casual and comfortable as we could have hoped for! Not only is he a great officiant, but a great friend that we hope to see in the future
