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!

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!

My wife and I can't say enough great things about John and the job he did for us. Not only was he great the day of, but he was incredibly helpful in the weeks/months leading up to the wedding. The detailed ceremony and options he presented put the both of us at ease and really took a lot of the stress off the whole thing. I think what I really liked the most about John however, is how spontaneous he was throughout the entire process. He is not one of those officiants that will just perform the "standard issue" ceremony. He will make it fun and light hearted and that's what you'll remember about him. I highly recommend John Reardon/MyCustomWeddingCeremony. You will not be disappointed.

John Reardon did a wonderful job during our wedding ceremony. He made myself and my husband feel at ease and very comfortable. He was great to work with leading up to the ceremony as well and I would highly recommend his services. He truly made the wedding ceremony experience unique and enjoyable.

My husband and I were in search for an officiant, when we landed on My Custom Wedding Ceremony's page on Wedding Wire. We were intrigued by the way John Reardon customizes the ceremony for each of his couples and were hooked once we met at One Ocean. He made the ceremony so beautiful and simple, and at our request it only lasted 25 minutes, which was wonderful because we did not want a very long ceremony. John is very persistent with any requests and is just an email or phone call away with help of any kind. He is a very kind gentleman, and I would recommend him to anyone requiring officiating services. Thanks John for making our wedding so special and effortless. Much Love, The Elmore's from Jacksonville Beach Fl.

John was absolutely amazing to work with for our recent wedding! We were so pleased with his flexibility and ability to conduct our wedding ceremony. We did not get married in a traditional house of worship, so we needed an officiant to marry us. John not only did that, but so, so much more. He put us at ease during the stressful wedding planning process, and was available to chat with us any time we needed. He created a beautiful, smooth ceremony for us. Most of all, we loved his charismatic ability to engage our guests during the ceremony. We highly recommend John's officiant services if you are in need of an officiant for your wedding!

I couldn't be happier with how John handled our stress and anxiety!! He is a great person and officiant which makes for a great wedding! I love that he helped us breath and slow it down to make for a lite and airy ceremony.

When planning our wedding, I had so many ideas and knew exactly who and what I wanted as our vendors, except the officiant. That seemed to be our last piece of detail where I didn't really have a plan. Originally I wanted to get married in the Catholic church but it didn't work out so when we started thinking about the officiant I really had no where to start. We looked on Google and My Custom Wedding ceremony popped up & it looked promising. Then we reached out to our venue & asked who they would recommend & John was the first on the list. We contacted him & were able to set up a meeting shortly after. John was great and made our day so special. He had pre-planned ceremonies we could choose from but could customize it in any way that we wanted, which was extremely helpful. My husband wanted to write our own vows, but I wanted to say the traditional I Do's, so John was able to make that happen. We told him all of our ideas for the ceremony, how we wanted to have special songs sang & we were doing a Unity Cross, and together we were able to come up with the perfect ceremony that fit our style & it was perfect! John was so helpful during the rehearsal, he helped keep things running smoothy and stayed calm and made sure everyone knew what to do and where to go. The day of the wedding and during the ceremony he could tell I was nervous & even had me take a deep breath to take in our surroundings to help me calm down after walking down the isle with my dad which was a really great moment for me. There were so many small touches he did that made our day even that much more special & I would recommend him to everyone. Not only is he a nice person, but he seems to love what he does & it fantastic at it!

My husband and I knew John was perfect to officiate our wedding from the moment we met him. We loved that everything could be customized, but that there was some structure to work from, too. John is extremely personable and definitely loves what he does. He was so kind and worked with us when we were a bit light in the bank due to my lack of pay in summers by letting us pay in installments. We were able to correspond mostly by email (we live in Georgia), which was extremely convenient. John was always quick to respond to emails and was thoughtful and would check in periodically. When the wedding got closer, John called me and made sure everything was going as planned - I don't even think it was about the ceremony, just checking in on us in general. That tells you what a great person he is! Then, he was there for our rehearsal and made sure we all stayed on task. The ceremony went perfectly - my husband and I loved every minute, and so did all our guests. We HIGHLY recommend John for anyone - he is so wonderful! Thanks so much, John, for making our day perfect! :) C & J 5-25-2014

Mr. Reardon was amazing! As one of the preferred vendors for our venue, we reached out to Mr. Reardon and requested his information and service information for availability and to ensure that he was a match for what we were looking for in an officiant. After reading his bio and other information, we were thrilled to find that he was available for our day and booked him immediately. He sent over all the info we would need, including vow choices and "day of" information. We sent over our selected vows and when the week before came, he checked in to ensure that everything was the way we wanted. At our rehearsal he put our minds at ease as he calmly and thoroughly showed us what would happen at each step in the process of the ceremony. I was nervous for the big day and his reassurances were truly a saving grace. On our big day Mr. Reardon ensured that everything was going smoothly from start to finish and we got a laugh out of him attempting to calm me as I reached the front of the aisle for the vows! We strongly recommend him for an amazing wedding experience!!

John was an amazing officiant! My now husband and I are from Orlando, but got married in St.Augustine, so we were only to make a few trips up to meet with vendors and visit venues. John was extremely flexible with our schedule and stayed in contact with us via phone and email throughout the wedding planning process. He made sure to accommodate all of our requests, especially since I was having my cousin perform music live during the ceremony. I would definitely recommend to any and all brides!

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!

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!

"We could not have picked a better person to officiate our wedding. John made us so comfortable despite all of our nerves, and really made the experience fun. We are so thankful, it would not have been as special without him!"

_________________________________________________________________________

”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.”
