John Reardon did such an amazing job for us! He was such a pleasure to work with and gave us a beautiful ceremony completely tailored to our liking... Everything from the addition of a song, to letting us create our own vows based off of examples he provided for us. His guidance during the ceremony was very appreciated as well since we were unable to do a proper rehearsal due to schedules and travel needs for everyone in the wedding party. In short, John helped make our day as perfect as it could've been, and we couldn't recommend him highly enough!

I honestly can not say enough about how amazing John was! My fiancé and I (at the time) had made appointments with 3 different officiants to assess who would work best for us and John was the first of those that we met with. To make a long story short, he became the ONLY one we met with. After leaving the meeting with him, before we even got to the car, we decided to choose him to officiate our big day! We emailed him immediately and he responded right back with excitement and with the information we needed to proceed. Something that I thought was going to be so difficult became so easy just by hiring John. He emailed us the template of the sample ceremonies that he felt worked best for us and my fiancé and I, at our leisure, decided which words, phrases and ideas to use from that. We chose to write our own vows which was not a problem at all for John. We just wrote them on a card and gave them to him and he handed them to us during the ceremony. He was professional yet personable the entire time we dealt with him. Not to mention, we had our marriage license returned to us faster than I've ever heard of. I would recommend him to anyone!!

Simply an amazing person! That is what I have to say about John. From the very first meeting to the very last moment, he was exceptional. An amazing heart this man has, along with a personality that can't be beat. He was fun, energetic and made everyone feel comfortable when our nervousness kicked in. I would HIGHLY recommend John for your ceremony. You will not be disappointed. So from the both of us John, THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts!!!

John was, from the beginning, a saving grace for my husband and I. We come from two different cultural and religious backgrounds and John made suggestions that flawlessly put together our masterpiece of a ceremony. We were so happy to have hired him and received many compliments on the ceremony, even coming from very religious folks! Thank you John, we couldn’t have done it without you!

John was so much fun to work with. Not only did he walk us through how to make the ceremony our own, he worked with our venue to make sure the ceremony ran efficiently. He has a great sense of humor and really commanded our ceremony without taking over. People actually told us they never heard a ceremony like ours before, but thought it was romantic and so very fitting. Thank you John for making our day special!
My Custom Wedding Ceremony responded with the following comments:
Hali it was truly my pleasure to help you and Joel have a beautiful Ceremony. I thought your changes and choices to your Ceremony were perfect. I wish you both a lifetime of love and happiness!

My husband & I were so happy that we found John to be the officiant for our recent wedding in Jacksonville, FL. I found his website, and really liked what I read there as well as the pictures that I saw. We met John, and he explained how his services worked. We felt an instant connection with him, and hired him right on the spot. He immediately provided us with the framework for our wedding ceremony. He was so flexible with changes! I was able to make changes just a few days before the ceremony! I felt like I had ample to time to make sure the ceremony contained all the elements that were very important to me and my husband. From the moment we met John until after he completed the ceremony, he has been so kind to us. He always called to check in and see how things were going and if he could be of any service to us. We really appreciated that. I would absolutely without a doubt recommend John Reardon to officiate your wedding! He is comfortable bringing religious aspects to the ceremony or leaving them out. He really helps customize the ceremony for the couple! So many guests commented on how great they thought he was, and we couldn't agree more!
Thank you so much, John, for helping us create the wedding of our dreams!

John is a true professional; he is compassionate, flexible, and genuine. From first contact, he guided us through planning our perfect ceremony, ensuring that we received exactly what we had envisioned.
On the day of our rehearsal , our wedding party was running late due to heavy traffic & John agreed to stay until everyone had arrived. He is understanding, easy going, and truly passionate about his career. I highly recommend John to any couple searching for an officiant that won't just punch his time card; He really went the extra mile for us.
John, it was a pleasure meeting and working with you!

Mr Reardon was everything we hoped he would be! He helped us plan our perfect Ceremony and we were able to choose from choices for our Vows and Ring Statements. Mr Reardon was on time and was at our venue early enough to make sure we were at ease and went over any last minute questions:) I would definitely recommend him to anyone planning a wedding!
Hiring John was a great decision that I would do again in a heartbeat...he even made sure we didn't forget the rings back in the hotel room!

Officiant John Reardon was great! We first saw John at our friends wedding and really liked the way he handled the ceremony. I knew I wanted him for our wedding. From the first conversation with John, I knew he was the right fit. He customized our ceremony exactly how we wanted it and delivered on the day of the wedding. He is so friendly and even came into the bridal waiting room before the event to see how I was feeling and help calm my nerves. I highly recommend John to any Bride.

From the first time we spoke with John we knew we wanted him at our wedding. He has a friendly personality and really wants to make your day special. He really makes it "your" wedding! He was on time and did an amazing job at the rehearsal and ceremony. We are so glad John was our Officiant. He would check in on us to make sure everything was fine and we didn't have any questions. Any time we needed a question answered, he would respond very quickly (even at 11:00pm)! The ceremony was beautiful and John did a great job in making sure everyone could hear and see us. He is a great person to have at your wedding.

John was a pleasure to work with and helped us create our perfect ceremony! His sincere enthusiasm shined through and enlightened the whole wedding process even more, if that's possible! One of my favorite photographs from the ceremony is of my husband and I being introduced as Mr and Mrs Riley and John behind us with his hands way up in the air, excited as can be. He was responsive and personable and made us feel very comfortable, especially since we weren't able to meet until the day before the wedding at the actual rehearsal because we live out of town. Thank you for being an important part of our wedding day, John!

Right from the first time I spoke with John on the phone, I had a very good feeling he was perfect for our ceremony. Each time I spoke to him, John was always professional and genuinely cared that our special day would be perfect. Also, he always kept timely communication with me. We are from Michigan and were married on Vilano Beach in St Augustine. John was so easy to work with and kept the ceremony very relaxed and comfortable. Our ceremony was scheduled for 10 am and as we were walking on the beach to "our spot", there was already another ceremony being performed. This could've been upsetting and stressful but John quickly guided us to another location there on the beach and it was even better than the original chosen spot. Also...John's son, Devin, took AMAZING photographs of our wedding!!! We are so grateful to John for making our special day so memorable ans special...just as he promised.

As a working professional, I have come to realize how important effective partnerships are to achieve positive results. John is a knowledgeable and polished Wedding Officiant who truly attempts to achieve the desired outcome for his couple, but he maintains an unparalleled aspect of true consideration and collaboration to make your event a unique and beautiful realization. As I was very nervous and excitable moments before walking down the aisle, John provided clear calming consultation that made me completely at ease and prepared for the big moment. The ceremony was exquisitely performed with the right amount of sincerity, humor, compassion, and commitment. My husband and I could not have asked for a better wedding officiant than John, who has now become a good friend. :)

I knew from the moment I heard John's voice, we had the right person to marry David and I! John was extremely professional, SOOOO positive, always smiling, and very accommodating to whatever we wanted for our day! The ceremony he performed was exquisitely written. David and I also said our own vows, and he was more than happy to let us coordinate the ceremony exactly as we wanted. Anyone who wants his/her special day to be just right, JOHN is your man! David and I highly recommend John and his photographer Devin who just added to the perfection of this enchanting day! Thank you so very much John and Devin, you will forever be part of our dream come true!

”John was incredible dependable, trustworthy, and experienced. He surpassed our every expectation for a wedding officiant by calling us to follow up, creating an incredible ceremony for us, delivering a well-spoken ceremony,and being extremely kind and involved with every step. If you want someone that will take your wedding ceremony to the next level, John is by far the one. Though John performs many ceremonies, he made us feel important and special by treating our special day as if it were his own – that’s how professional and kind he was! Being that we were form out of town and lived in another state, we were a bit hesitant at first – but we couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would recommend John to anyone. Through this process John became not just our wedding officiant, but someone we’d call a friend. Thank you John.”

When my son, who lives out of state, called and informed me that he and his fiancee wished to be married in THREE WEEKS, I instantly went into panic mode. With all the tasks I had to complete my biggest concern was who would I get to perform the ceremony. I immediately sent out a mass email to my friends and associates and received many responses, each with the same person being recommended - John Reardon. Having known John for several years myself, I was entirely comfortable contacting him. He immediately took charge of the situation and contacted the bride and groom and worked with them to incorporate their wishes into their 'perfect" ceremony.
On the day of the wedding John arrived early and spoke with the couple to go over any last minute changes in the ceremony that they wanted. I can honestly say I don't think I've ever attended a more beautiful and spiritual wedding. It was entirely what my son and his wife wanted and John definitely helped them realize their dream. I would recommend John's services to ANYONE wishing to have the wedding they've always wanted.
