Writing this for my sister Emily who doesnt have a yelp account: All I can say is THANK YOU JON! He officiated over our wedding in early January. From the start of our interaction to the "'I do's" it was absolutely flawless. It felt more like a best friend taking our hand and walking us thru the entire process start to finish. He was incredibly delightful & beyond helpful and everything more than we couldve ever asked for. We are so happy we decided to go with him on our most important day, it could not have been any better and I mean that with genuine gratitude. read more

We had an amazing experience working with Jon. He made the entire process leading up to our wedding smooth and stress-free. We had initial calls where he took the time to understand what we were looking for and explained his approach. We also filled out a questionnaire that helped him understand what we truly wanted for our wedding. He was detailed and responsive every step of the way, always making sure our questions were answered and that we felt confident and prepared. On the day of the wedding, Jon was on time and brought such a joyful and lighthearted energy to the wedding. We recommend Jon to anyone looking for an officiant. You won't be disappointed! :) Service: 5+/5 read more

What can I say? Jon was simply amazing! Our intimate garden wedding should have been smooth sailing... but as we all know, even the best-laid plans can go a little sideways. Amid the chaos, Jon truly made our day feel special! He could see how stressed I was in the run up to the ceremony, and as soon as he took the reins and the ceremony began, I instantly felt at ease. His calm presence, professionalism, and kindness grounded the whole moment. We dealt with a few difficult vendors throughout our planning, but working with Jon was effortless. He was responsive, flexible, and genuinely cared about getting everything right -- which meant the world to us. He handled everything perfectly, including the unexpected! Which involved a neighbour's rooster and movie special-effects sounds blasting from the next garden over! It all ended up adding character to our ceremony in the most hilarious and memorable way. Jon was incredible. We are so grateful that he was part of our day and we are so thankful and lucky to have found him. We highly recommended Jon to anyone looking for a warm, composed, and genuinely caring officiant! read more

Jon Olson was the officiant for me and my husband for our wedding October 2023 and we realized we forgot to write a review! I have to say, Jon was everything a wedding officiant should be and more. He was on time, responsive via email and phone call, and had lots of resources and options for the wedding format. He keeps everything low stress even though it's a big moment to prep for! I am grateful for his kindness and thoughtfulness. Everything from reassuring us the night before with a quick and easy rehearsal to helping the day run smoothly! He has a great voice and cadence, and helped us get through the ceremony in a timely manner in the sweltering 90 degree heat in October! He was a trooper and never complained of course. He implemented heartfelt moments perfectly. Thank you Jon!! read more

Jon was fantastic and an absolute pro! During the consultation call, he walked us through all of the steps, answered all of our questions, and after discussing with us what we wanted, he gave us a detailed document of the ceremony procession.

Jon was great! We wanted to something simple and most important EASY! Jon helped us with that and took a lot of the stress out of it.

We had a small wedding on 10/15/22. I honestly was clueless about all things wedding planning, but I knew I wanted to find an AMAZING officiant, even with our budget limitations. I believe I just found Jon through Yelp. He is listed as the best officiant around. This was important to me because I knew he would make the ceremony special, personalized, and if anything went wrong (which of course it did, because Murphys Law,) he kept everything on the rails with professionalism, kindness, and a smile. He was there through the entire process with all my anxious questions. He was especially helpful are reassuring about the process of marriage licsense and changing of my name. They way he asked us questions, created a worksheet and order of service for OUR ceremony. It was very special and personalized. Do not hesitate to hire Jon if you want a special service with a personal touch, heart. All of our guests loved him, and we love him too! Thanks for your work, Jon! read more

There was a moment when my husband fumbled his words because he was nervous...he said, "I take you as my lawfully wedded life", and Jon turned it into a sweet, endearing moment by responding with, "she is your life, too". Everyone loved his response and we all shared a moment of laughter. It's the one thing I will never forget about my wedding. read more

Since the initial phone call, Jon was kind, patient, knowledgeable, and approachable throughout the entire process. He is fast at replying our inquiries and any questions we had.

We hired Jon for our wedding this past October and had a great experience! He was always responsive whenever I reached out to him (and if he wasn't, it was cuz my email went to spam accidentally, oops!) and very thorough in giving us all the information we needed. Once we were officially on his books, he sent over a worksheet for us to fill out ahead of our call together to go over ceremony planning. Anything we weren't too sure about, we were able to rely on Jon's expertise to help guide us and give suggestions on what to do for the ceremony to help make it feel more personalized to us as a couple. On the day of the wedding (no rehearsal prior as there was no wedding party), Jon was a calming and reassuring presence. The ceremony was beautiful, well-spoken and well-paced (we received some compliments from guests afterwards as well). I don't think we could've asked for a better officiant--if it wasn't already apparent, I highly recommend booking Jon to officiate your wedding! read more

After our initial Zoom meeting with him, we felt very comfortable with choosing him as our officiant. He's professional, warm, flexible, courteous, charming and compassionate. He's been doing this for many years now and it shows. The entire process from A to Z was seamless and he guided us through every step of the way.

To anyone planning the wedding of their dreams, even during the middle of a global pandemic.... please stop looking and book Jon ASAP!!! He was our officiant at our small, outdoor, COVID-compliant wedding in Redondo Beach on 11/14/2020, and we couldn't be happier! We didn't know exactly how important choosing the right officiant would be for our big day...but it turns out that our decision to have Jon marry us was one of the best we made! He is professional but very personable and truly listens to his couples. We completed his detailed questionnaire and by the time we completed our call with him, we really felt at ease and had a good idea of how the ceremony would take place. His extensive experience as an officiant proved helpful time and time again, as he gave several ceremony tips and alternative options regarding how we could incorporate readings or prayers, along with where to include the delcarations of intent!

Jon's services were worth every dollar! read more

We got married yesterday, and Rev. Jon orchestrated our ceremony like a true maestro. My bride and I are not always the most organized people, and we were both new to the wedding process. We appreciated having his level of experience when it really counted. He brought a stabilizing presence and a sense of relaxed elegance to an event that could easily have gone in multiple directions. For example, we planned to jump the broom at the end of our ceremony, but with everything else on our minds we did not even realize that no one had brought a broom to the event. Fortunately, Rev. Jon asked about the broom and we were able to borrow one from the venue before the ceremony started. We have received so many complements from our guests regarding the ceremony and all the heartwarming details that Rev. Jon included for us. read more
