Bob Hoffman was our officiant and he was wonderful! He met with us near our house several times to make sure the ceremony was perfect. We had an interfaith ceremony and Bob researched my fiancee religion (Greek Orthodox) to make sure it was appropriate for our Orthodox guests. He even handled my fiancee’s picky mother in a nice manner! The ceremony was beautiful and I would highly recommend him to other couples!
We interviewed a few officiants before choosing John Melchinger at A Perfect Witness. We felt he was very knowledgeable and well-read, shared great chemistry with us making us feel very very at ease. He had great ideas to personalize our ceremony with our theme (oak tree) and non-traditional religious views. We had an initial in-person meeting and the rest was email and phone communications. John created a very eloquent, beautiful, unique ceremony just as we had envisioned. He also included bilingual (Spanish) portions to honor my Latin heritage. There was laughter and plenty of happy tears. John was ready with a handkerchief when I nearly started bawling halfway through my vows! =) We want to thank John for making our wedding such a special moment.
For us (a middle aged couple) choosing a casual yet dignified wedding ceremony, John Melchinger was a great choice. Meet him and speak with him on the phone to decide if he is the right officiant for you. We wanted a secular, yet intimate, ceremony and he delivered. He will listen to your wants and needs and abide by your wishes.
John was wonderful. He captured everything I wanted in the ceremony. On our initial meeting I felt very comfortable with him and was instantly confident that he had a good grasp of the type of people my fiancé and I were. All correspondence was quickly received and responded to, leaving me with very little stress. At the ceremony, he was professional, yet had a sense of humor, which really eased the nerves away. I would definitely recommend him to any of my friends who are getting married, knowing that they would end up being just as thrilled as I was.
John from “A Perfect Witness” was our officiant, and he was really amazing. We also met his wife, (also an officiant) who was an absolute lovely woman! John single-handedly wrote a gorgeous ceremony custom-tailored to our personalities and desires. Everyone claimed what a nice ceremony it was because he put the perfect blend of charisma, humor, and romance in his words.
He was very good and we were very happy with his service.He was very organized and he told us all the steps we have to do before the wedding.
He took care of the wedding beautifully. We definitely recommend him to other lucky couples.
John Melchinger was the officiant for my wedding this past March. we had always wanted a beach wedding but we are from New Hampshire so we did a lot of long distance planning. We are a fairly young couple and did not have much of an idea of what to do. John was so reliable and helpful. I was able to connect with him whenever i needed and he was always so helpful. Once i let him know i needed support he was ready to jump right in to help out. He really cared about me and my husband and took time to listen to our story and customize our wedding for us. It was perfect and he was so dependable. I would definitely recommend him to any bride to be!
Jayne did a great job at my wedding. She also helped with the rehearsal. I am so happy that Jayne was the officiant at my wedding.
We loved Jayne. She is warm, intelligent, and professional. She let us dictate the entire ceremony and was available to give guidance on our vows. All e-mails were promptly returned and she was always on time and wearing a smile. She handled the organization of the rehearsal and the ceremony on the day of with respect and control (not easy when you’re on a windy beach with quite a few people). We definitely recommend her.
Everything went so smoothly, we couldn’t be happier. John was extremely professional and prompt. The ceremony he wrote was beautiful and captured our vision for the day and love for one another. Thank you for adding to our perfect day!
They were very flexible and easy to get along with. No problems whatsoever. Understanding about us not starting on time/being late.
Bob Hoffman was our Officiant, and he was amazing. Very punctual and the nicest man. The ceremony that he wrote out for us was wonderful.
Having Jane Alford from A Perfect Witness serve as officiant for our wedding ceremony was the best wedding decision we made by far. We had heard nothing but glowing reviews from others who had employed Jane in the past, and now the reasons are readily apparent. Her warmth, professionalism, and guidance are unmatched. Truly a blessing!
I highly recommend “APerfectWitness” to officiant your wedding. I initially had a phone conference with John and immediately felt that he understood what we wanted to achieve for our wedding ceremony. We met and I was certain that after our meeting and getting to know John as a person and like wise, that he would fully create the ceremony we hoped for. I was right! It was everything we hoped for and more. My husband and I as well as our guest found John to be very warm, caring and the greatest of help! John was very comforting, consulting, and his experience is second to none when it comes to any type of ceremony. Full of advise and suggestions regarding family, children, friends and the possible unexpected. I can’t say enough about him and his services, it’s not just “another wedding” with John, it’s a mission of love.
I highly recommend A Perfect Witness!
John was our officiant…he has a wonderful gift of making the ceremony special-one of a kind…We highly recommend his services! He truly cares about making your ceremony perfect for you and is a great guy to work with! I will be referring his services to all I meet who desire a perfect wedding!
We had Jayne at A Perfect Witness and I would recommend her highly! We had a beautiful ceremony that we helped design and personalize. She had many great ideas, helped to guide our choices, and made great recommendations on vendors that made our day absolutely perfect. Everything went off without a hitch, looked beautiful, and was everything we could have ever wanted. I also had so many compliments on the ceremony, how professional and well spoken Jayne was, and how perfectly tailored the ceremony was toward our personalities. I can’t emphasize enough how many guests commented on how good Jayne was. I highly, highly recommend her for the beach ceremony of your dreams!
John was the perfect wedding officiant for us. He allowed us to completely customize our ceremony, but also really made it his own. We were so happy with our ceremony, and he was a major part of that.
We were so pleased to have found Jayne in a simple internet search,. She met with us about a month before the wedding and covered every detail. We felt so comfortable with her immediately. She was a great sport and even showed up for our beach wedding with a cast on her leg! We couldn’t have asked for someone better to officiate our ceremony.
We worked with Jayne initially and then Bob presided over the ceremony. We couldn’t be happier with the service we received. They were both warm, friendly, accessible, flexible, and interested. It is wonderful to review the wedding photos and see Bob beaming in every shot. Guests told us that it was the best wedding they had ever attended. We’ll be back in ten years to renew our vows!
Jayne was awesome! She was so quick to respond to emails and answer any questions. I am from Ohio and got married down in St Pete Beach. And she took care of everything. She gave me suggestions on flowers, set ups, etc etc. She was so nice and made everything perfect. I would HIGHLY recommend her.
