Willamette Valley Wedding Professionals

Johanna wrote a wonderful ceremony for us, arrived on time and was available anytime for questions. This was completely stress-free, and having a ceremony written to coordinate with who we were and where we were getting married was great.

Johanna was GREAT! She worked with me to create the ceremony I wanted and she delivered it perfectly. I would definitely recommend Johanna to anyone getting married.

Look, I don't know who these people are who complain about the cost of hiring Rev. Johana Respini to officiate their wedding. It was not that bad, considering what the rest of the event cost. Rev. Johana Respini was, in a word, amazing.

She did exactly what we wanted her to do, worked with us on creating our hand fasting ritual, spent a lot of time with us to make sure she got everything just right, was respectful of our wishes, and performed an excellent, unique ceremony. I would recommend her to anyone. She was that good. She was the best part of our wedding.

Absolutely loved our ceremony! Johanna took the little bit of information we gave her about us and somehow made it seem as though she had always known us. Having a preview of the ceremony eased our minds as we had not planned a rehearsal. We would definitely recommend her services to anyone who asked.

I would recommend An Event to Remember to anyone I know who is planning on getting married. The very first time I contacted Johanna for basic questions she responded immediately and was very kind and helpful. I found this to be the same throughout the planning process. Everyone at my wedding commented on how nice she was and what a great ceremony she had put together for us. Like I said previously I would recommend her to anyone. My husband and I were very happy with all she did.

She arrived early and was a great help in every aspect of the ceremony. Reverend Respini also took every suggestion and request about the wording of my ceremony and presented a lovely reading. I would reccomend her services to anyone. Every request I had was a breeze for her and she made me feel very confident that my day was going to turn out well.

Johanna was absolutely fabulous, can’t tell you how many wonderful compliments we got on the ceremony! And this was on a Pagan handfasting from Catholic guests! She was really extraordinary, I can’t recommend her highly enough. She helped us design the ceremony that perfectly reflected our beliefs and yet was palatable to all of those in attendance. She also helped keep us grounded in the face of a very difficult coordinator. She took all the time that was needed to craft the ideal ceremony, and her delivery was spot-on and so heartfelt. It seemed as though she had known us forever. Many thanks and heartfelt blessings to Rev. Johanna, we are forever grateful.

An Event To Remember is an appropriate deion for our officiant. She added a class and sophistication to our ceremony that embodied the softness of love, and the coming together of two lives. We were so blessed to have her as a part of our important day.

We were very pleased and she was extremely patient with us and our family. I thought I had every detail and timeline covered and executed, but to my dismay and miscalculations I was running around with my head cut off the last few weeks before the wedding. Johanna was very helpful, very patient and kind. She is very professional and I would recommend her to anyone for any occassion. My parents asked me to please keep her name and number close because they would like her to speak at their own memorials some day. (morbid thought at this point, but I think you understand what I’m trying to say.)

Johanna Respini was absolutely amazing, we didn’t know how to even start planning our wedding ceremony. She listened to our ideas, our thoughts, what was important to us and made a list of suggestions. She went above and beyond when it came to helping us with different steps, prayers, and lines for our ceremony. She was always on time, ready to work with us and had an awesome attitude.
The ceremony itself couldn’t have been better, she held our hands and helped us through the process as we were very emotional and nervous.
I would recommend Johanna to anyone who is looking to have a special day be even more special and memorable.

Johanna was amazing! She provided a service that was personal, loving, spiritual and fun. With very little time to prepare, Johanna took the time to get to know my husband and I and write a beautiful ceremony. She was wonderful in expressing her joy and happiness as she married us. Johanna is a wonderful person and we are extremely pleased with her services.

Johanna was one of the best vendors I dealt with. Our original officiant had a family emergency come up, and I found Johanna’s website mentioned on Craig’s List. I was trying to decide between her and another officiant. Johanna was always quick to respond and very helpful. She helped my husband and I plan the perfect wedding service, and never made us feel uncomfortable with our slightly alternative ceremony. Johanna helped bring our ideas to fruition. She made us feel so comfortable, and provided great ideas.

Johanna is great! She braved the unexpectedly chilly evening to do our rehearsal over an hour away from her, came back the next day to do the ceremony, and with a smile every step of the way! She gave wonderful guidance on writing our ceremony and even was wonderfull enough to tolerate my REALLY long ceremony ideas! She was a wonderful source of knowledge and even helped us with our handfasting cords and the set up of our altar on the day of.

Thank you Johanna for all your help!
