I'd love to marry you! And if you select me you can get an up-front planning session, ongoing consults, questionnaires and planning sheets, and a fully tailored script for your ceremony for a very competitive and affordable price. Plus I arrive early and can arrange day-of ceremony run-thrus for the wedding party (without the bride!) or prior rehearsals (at extra cost).
I’ll help you – if you’d like – to customize the ceremony and vows – standard or your own – so that your ceremony on your special day is as perfect as you want it to be. I’m happy to incorporate special elements – sand, unity candle or others – so that your ceremony exactly fits your needs, wants, and desires.
My experience with Jon was great. He was easy to get a hold of either on this website, email or by phone. I was very nervous at our first meeting because I didn't have a lot of ideas of how I wanted my ceremony to go. He was able to quickly put me at ease with his years of experience, gentle demeanor, and sense of humor. We quickly had beginnings of my ceremony planned out. He was very open to any and all suggestions I had. The day of my outdoor wedding was well over 90°, but this didn't seem to phase him. He officiated my beautiful wedding with great professionalism. I would highly recommend booking him for your wedding. You won't be disappointed.
Response from Reverend Jon Turino:
Thank you, Amber, for the glowing review! It was my pleasure to be your officiant. I wish you and David a lifetime of happiness together.
Thank you, Jon, for everything!! Not only were you super patient and easy going with us when I forgot the marriage license at home and had to have someone go get it, but you handled the delay with total humor and complete understanding.
The ceremony was all that we had hoped for and more, laughs and oops included.
Thank you for making our day as memorable as possible. You are a true gem!!
Response from Reverend Jon Turino:
Thank you so much for the kind words, Luda. It was my pleasure to be of service.
Jon was the perfect fit for our ceremony. He is kind, witty, and very professional. He also responded to every email within 24 hours. When my husband stumbled over this line, "wafflely wedding wife", Jon quickly returned with, "want some syrup with that." It was a hit and I'm so happy we chose him!
Response from Reverend Jon Turino:
Than you so much, Mary. It was my pleasure!
Jon answered all our questions and work with us every step of the way. He did an amazing job with our ceremony and couldn't be happier!!
Response from Reverend Jon Turino:
Thank you, McKenzie. It was my pleasure to be of service to you and Jeffery.
Jon was amazing, we hired him on very short notice, and he was amazing, fit us into his schedule and was a pleasure to work with! Ceremony was great and meant so much to our Family. Thank you Jon we Absolutely loved it!
Response from Reverend Jon Turino:
You are very welcome, Trina. It was my pleasure to be of service to you.
We had a great experience hiring Jon! I initially chose him because he seemed unbiased that our wedding was an elopement. He was patient with us despite it all being a last minute decision. He was very helpful and caring in making sure the verbiage was just right. He responded quickly with all emails, came early, and was very professional. During the ceremony he spoke loud and clear. He was very genuine in wishing us all the best. I would highly recommend Jon to officiate your special day!
Response from Reverend Jon Turino:
Thank you, Lauren, for the great review. I wish you and Tyler a lifetime of happiness together.
It was such an honor to be officiated by Reverend Jon Turino. We planned our wedding in less than two months and hiring Reverend Jon was the easiest part of it all. He was very responsive and was open to any revisions with our vows. Our communication with him was very stress-free. Reverend Jon arrived early, we had just met him in person half an hour before the ceremony started, nerves were kicking in, however, Reverend Jon was present and encouraged us to stay calm and relaxed, as he will guide us in everything we need to say. He did just that. He made us so comfortable and at ease with him. We are so grateful and we highly recommend Reverend Jon's services and passion to marry couples. Thank you for the stories and advices you shared in the short amount of time we have met you. Best wishes Jon, we are so happy to be married by you.

Response from Reverend Jon Turino:
Thank you so much, Angela, for the great review. It was my pleasure meeting and marrying you and Johnny!
I would highly recommend Jon! He was just what we were looking for at a very reasonable price. I wanted a very simple wedding and he helped accomplish that. He was amiable, professional, helpful, and willing to give advice. And he looked great in pictures! I personally liked having a man do the ceremony, it felt more traditional. He helped complete our perfect day!!
Response from Reverend Jon Turino:
Thank you so much for the kind words, Tara. I'm glad that you were pleased with my service to you.
I was amazed at how well Jon acted like we had gone through a rehearsal and met with us even though we booked him 3 days prior to the wedding! He was quick to respond to me and was very reassuring during a stressful time. He was proactive, flexible, and amazing. If I could live my wedding day over again, I would hire him again!
Response from Reverend Jon Turino:
Thank you, Melissa, for the fine review. I appreciate it and wish you and Fareed a lifetime of happiness.
We can't speak highly enough of Jon! From the first time we reached out to him until the last moments before the wedding, he remained incredibly responsive and reassuring that our special day would turn out exactly as we wanted it. With Jon, you will never feel unprepared during the ceremony; he will guide you, step-by-step, through the entire process by gently directing you and feeding you your words (you have no idea how helpful this is when you're overcome with emotion). One of the best things about Jon is he is as much an observer of the wedding as he is the minister - he will be just as happy to be there as your guests. Truly, having Jon as your minister will feel like you asked a close friend to officiate your wedding. Jon was by far the best choice for us, and we feel you can do no better!
Response from Reverend Jon Turino:
Thank you so much for the glowing review, Andrew. It was my pleasure to marry you and your beautiful bride Bianca in that lovely setting.
Jon was amazing to work with. My husband and I got married at a brand new venue in Portland at a vineyard and we couldn't have asked for a better person to marry us. He was prompt at responding, was very friendly and walked us through the steps we needed to take for our wedding. Jon delivered a beautiful script and we truly appreciate his genuine nature. We got married at the end of July and moved to Texas immediately after, delaying our review for him, but in no way could we ever forget his service. Thank you Jon, we would hire you again if we could!
Happily, our first officiant cancelled, but referred us to Reverend John. Our lucky day. His kind and warm demeanor was perfect on the phone and for our ceremony. Add in that he had the perfect vows for us and we had the ceremony we wanted. All went just perfectly.
Thanks so much
Mark & Kevin
Response from Reverend Jon Turino:
Thank you, Mark, for the very nice review. I wish you and Kevin all the best for many, many years to come.
Reverend Jon was wonderful to work with. We had a unique ceremony that blended both my Ukrainian culture and my husband’s American culture and Reverend Jon wrote a script that combined the two cultures perfectly. He was genuine and sincere and addressed any questions immediately. He also provided some great insight on the best way to say our vows and even how to stand in order to get the best pictures. It was a stress-free ceremony knowing that Reverend Jon was our Officiant and he truly helped make it perfect. I would recommend him in a heartbeat.
Response from Reverend Jon Turino:
Thank you so much, Alena, for the very nice review. I'm glad that you were pleased with my services.
Andy and I feel very blessed that we chose Jon to be our officiant. He was very professional and really wanted to make sure that Andy and I had the ceremony that we always dreamed about. He also did the wedding rehearsal for us and helped make sure the ceremony went perfect. He helped make our day wonderful!
Response from Reverend Jon Turino:
Thank you, Christie. You and Andrew were a pleasure to work with as well.
I'm so glad that we found Jon. I was getting stressed as our wedding was approaching and my officiant decided to back out. I found him through a wedding site I was following and he was available and reached out to help us with our big day. We talked on the phone about our wishes and plans for ceremony. He emailed us with information right away and had vows ready for us to practice. We met in person and our personalities just fit and knew he would be perfect for what we wanted. My stress and fear melted away as we got to know him better. The ceremony was exactly what we wanted, fit our theme and wishes and really enjoyed being part of our family on that big day. Thank you Jon for helping our day be relaxed and our ceremony got great reviews by family and friends.
Response from Reverend Jon Turino:
Thank you so much, Audrey, for the fine review. I 'm so glad that I was able to make your day so special. Best to you and Billy!
Jon was fantastic to work with. He was execeptionally professional and attentive to our needs. We would highly recommend him to all couples looking for someone to make their wedding day something to remember.
Response from Reverend Jon Turino:
Thank you, Cory, for the fine review. Officiating for you and Christina was my pleasure.
I highly recommend Jon to any couple getting married. I could tell he loves what he does. He replies to emails quickly, he very professional and he gave us great tips on writing our own vows. Our ceremony was exactly how we wanted.
Jon Turino was an absolutely wonderful officiant! We couldn't have asked for more beautiful wedding ceremony. He stayed in touch with us leading up to the wedding, and ensured that our ceremony was exactly how we wanted it. We would highly recommend him to anyone, as we couldn't have asked for a better officiant!
Response from Reverend Jon Turino:
Thank you, Tessra, for selecting me as your officiant. And for the wonderful review. It was my pleasure officiating you wedding to Omero today.
Jon is one of the most professional and personable man that we've met. He went to lunch with us to hear what are ideas were, and to teach us what some of the traditions were that we really wanted to know! He kept in touch with us and was open to everything we wanted to do, even if it was last minute. Thank you so much Jon for helping us make our special day come true! We couldn't have asked a better officiant to marry us.
Response from Reverend Jon Turino:

Response from Reverend Jon Turino:
Thanks so much, Julie, for the great review. I enjoyed marrying you and Lucas and I thank you for choosing me as your officiant.
Reverend Turino arrived early, and treated us with the utmost respect. The ceremony was lovely, and honored our Faith and our blending cultures. Reverend Turino even handles all paperwork submissions required after the ceremony, so we could just concentrate on our day. Thank you, Reverend Turino!
Response from Reverend Jon Turino:

Although the we had many things go wrong for out wedding I can say that our part with Reverand John went with out a hitch! John was very professional and very warm and welcoming. From the first time we met he was very professional. I definitely recommend him!
Response from Reverend Jon Turino:
Thank you so much for the very nice review. It was my pleasure being your officiant.
We had the privilege of having Reverend Jon Turino as the officiant for our wedding. Jon was very thorough in trying to find exactly what we wanted in our presentation as Mr. and Mrs. We wanted an elegant professional ceremony and that was exactly what he provided. He was very well dressed also and fit perfectly in our photos which was a big plus for us. Couldn't have asked for a better Officiant. Thank you Jon! - Mr. & Mrs. Eldred

I was asked by a friend to become ordained so that I could marry her and her fiance in 2015. I loved doing it and have done 50+ more weddings at this writing (February 2017). I love doing weddings, and my clients love me as indicated by my 5-star ratings on multiple sites. I'd love to marry you!
I have no special requirements. I'm comfortable accommodating photographer, videographer, and musician/DJ needs. I do have my own wireless microphone that plugs into a sound system where that might be needed (but not a separate PA system).
