Reviews for The Wedding Judge
GUEST




What a classy guy! Timely, professional and warm all in one package. Thank you for making our wedding so special.
GUEST




Anthony was great to work with. We were looking for someone that would allow us to a non religious wedding. Anthony sent us sample ceremonies and we were able to piece them together to make our ceremony exactly what we wanted it to be. We had a couple small kids in our Wedding Party and Anthony was great at working with them. Anthony was quick with our Marriage License we had it 5 days after our Wedding!
GUEST




Excellent service on time and great !!! engilsh /spanish service love it
GUEST




This officiant is very flexible, especially with the way YOU want your ceremony. The thing my husband and I were looking for was someone to do a non-religious ceremony, and he was able to provide this service. Great priced and willing to travel.
GUEST




Anthony was wonderful! Found him online, and he was very nice and conducted a very lovely ceremony that we picked out and edited to make it our own! Would recommend him to anybody!! :)
GUEST




We would absolutely recommend Anthony for anyone looking for an efficient, friendly and composed officiant. Our wedding arrangements were made under a relatively short timescale, and we wanted a custom ceremony to include our children from previous marriages. Anthony met with us at short notice beforehand and had a number of great suggestions. He arrived in good time for the ceremony, despite it being some distance away and everything went very smoothly. We were both very happy with his professionalism.
GUEST




In a word ... Amazing! Anthony was professional with just the right amount of a personal touch. Very personable. He was on time to meet with us and always got back to us through email correspondence in a timely manner. He arrived at the venue plenty early to go over any last minutes things and was even okay with a few last minute changes. I couldn't have asked for a better officiant. I would DEFINITELY recommend him to family and friends ... and complete strangers too lol.
GUEST




The Wedding Judge is awesome. He is professional and a great guy. He met us when we first started talking in a place convenient for us and answered all our questions. He did not mind me texting or emailing whenever I had questions or concerns. He also did not overly contact us, we had a very laid back wedding and did not need much help. He let us know that he was there for us without inundating us with things we did not need. He was also always very prompt in his responses to questions and emails up to the very end, which is perfect for any couple trying to handle all the last minute details. He gave us different styles of vows to choose from and helped us to adapt them to meet our specific needs, including writing an extra part for a painting ceremony we added. I highly recommend him to all engaged couples.
GUEST




He was great and able to help with anything needed. He submitted the paperwork to the county, via e-mail, the same night we were married, and we had the paperwork from the county the Wednesday following our wedding (so 3 business days later--I know part of this was the county, but that is really quick!).
GUEST




Anthony did such an amazing job officiating our small and intimate wedding. He was so easy to communicate with, most of which was over email. We met with Anthony face to face when he was in the Portland area before our wedding to go over minor details as well. He sent examples of ceremonies and allowed us to make it our own. Everyone commented after the ceremony how beautiful it was and what a good job he did as well as how nice he was. Anthony was very professional and personable; I would highly recommend him to anyone planning to get married.
GUEST




A perfect choice for our spur of the moment wedding. Anthony is so friendly and approachable. He made everything so easy, definitely contact him!
GUEST




I just watched the video of our ceremony again (it's been 3 months since the wedding) and I cried just as much watching the video as I did during the real thing. The Wedding Judge did a great job of working with us to create a ceremony that was short but incredibly meaningful. He also provided some great advice when we were confused or unsure of what we wanted. Our wedding was truly a great day, and much of it was thanks to the tone our ceremony set for the day.
GUEST




Anthony was great!! He was very attentive and helpful when it came to a small disagreement with the grooms mother. He helped come up with a compromise and make everyone happy. I recommend Anthony to anyone and everyone in need. The price was extremely reasonable as well.
GUEST




Anthony dd a wonderful job preparing both of us for our ceremony. He took all of our ideas as well as traditional vows and created a great ceremony. He was more than we could have asked for. He made us both feel like we were the only two people in the room. What we got for our money was outstanding. We will recommend him to everybody. Thank you so much Anthony!
GUEST




Definitely 5 stars. Anthony was available short notice for an elopement he happily drove from Salem to Portland (Forest Grove) to officiate. Unfortunately, he experienced a flat tire along the way but arrived with plenty of time to spare. I, however, got a flat tire on my way, too (some would say good luck!), keeping him waiting 30 minutes, but he was nothing but gracious and forgiving, not a bother to him at all.
When our little ceremony was to begin, he asked my husband and I to join hands and helped position our witnesses, which made it feel like a "real" wedding with dozens of guests and less of a sterile formality having only the couple guests we had. We hadn't rehearsed anything so we had no clue what to do, where to stand, what to do with our hands (haha), but Anthony did, and everything fell instantly into place.
He read our vows with compassion and pride, exhibiting honor and respect for the sanctity of marriage. We are so grateful for his presence that day, a big reason it turned out as well as it did!
We also had a photographer there who is just getting his business off the ground, and Anthony helped suggest a couple photo ideas, one of which, is my profile photo and favorite!
Thank you, Anthony!!

GUEST




I am SO glad I chose Anthony for our wedding. Guests kept telling us just how beautiful the ceremony was. He was so professional and spoke so eloquently, it was perfect. Prior to the ceremony, Anthony was so friendly and helpful, tailoring the vows to our desire and giving us helpful handouts to prepare for our special day. Communicating with him was a breeze and all of my questions answered promptly. I could not have been happier with Anthony's service and will gladly recommend him to any future brides I know.
GUEST




Anthony did an amazing job and was very helpful! We will definitely be recommending him to other couples!
GUEST




Anthony is a fabulous officiant, I recommend his services to anyOne in search of someone who is understanding, kind, and professional. He is well prepared and will help make your day extra special!
GUEST




Anthony was great! He was friendly while maintaining his professionalism, and was always quick to respond to any questions that we had. I would highly recommend him to anyone in the area looking for an officiant; he was everything that we needed and more. He's the best!
GUEST




I am happy to say we made an excellent choice! He did everything we asked for. We only met him once before the wedding and it went over without a hitch! Would recommend him to everyone. Very informative and even gives you many options to how you want your ceremony to go which made it very easy and stress free. Thank you for spending our special day with us:)
GUEST




The wedding judge did a great job on our wedding and gives excellent service.He is very affordable which is also a bonus. He was very flexible with us as well. He stayed longer then he needed to to help with our marriage license. He also customized our vows to what we wanted. I would highly recommend him to others. thank you wedding Judge!!
GUEST




If you are looking for an Officiant in the NW, no need to look any further. Mr. Behrens would be a fine choice for any type of Wedding. He was communicative, flexible, and professional. My wedding lacked some structure and I think I spent 5 minutes with Mr. Behrens before my ceremony finalizing how the ceremony would go. He made it look effortless. I highly recommend working with The Wedding Judge.
GUEST




I hired Anthony on a short notice yet, he made me feel that choosing him was the right choice. My husband and I both loved the service he performed. Anthony let us customize our service to fit our likes. Anthony was also very prompted with returning communications. I would recommend him to any on my friends.
GUEST




Very efficent and taylored the ceremony to my personal wants and needs. Great job, would highly recommend!
GUEST




Anthony helped make our ceremony perfect. We were blown away with his professionalism and responsiveness. Anthony has a great selection of ceremonies to choose from and worked with us to customize our ceremony. He was alway prompt to answer our questions. Anthony guided us through a perfect ceremony. We are so glad that Anthony was part of our ceremony.
GUEST




The Wedding Judge was very friendly and professional. Anthony did a great job at our wedding and was very quick to get back to us with any questions. We picked Anthony because of all the great reviews on here and we were very satisfied with everything he did. My wife and I would recommand Anthony to all our friends and family, if you pick Anthony you will not be disappontied in any way.
GUEST




Anthony was very warm and calming during a time of potential high-stress. Our ceremony was simple but meaningful thanks to his suggestions for the flow of the ceremony. I didn't expect to find someone on the internet of this caliber-kind and comforting. It was nice to feel that he was not simply going through the motions. I would recommend him without reservation.
GUEST




The Wedding Judge, Anthony, was a pleasure and a relief to work with. He was prompt with email responses, provided up front information, ceremony options and he is fairly priced.
He was there for both my rehearsal and ceremony - on time (I highly recommend he attends your rehearsal because I had no idea what I was doing). He kept us on time and focused.
He promptly filed my marriage license and let me know it had been done too.
He is truly professional and great at what he does, not to mention handsome :)
I don't think I could say enough great things about him.
GUEST




We contacted The Wedding Judge about 30days out due to an issue with a friend that was going to be our officiant. He was flexible and did a great job especially for the price!!! Our wedding was pretty relaxed and laid back and he was open to our vow and made if fun for all of our guests!!!
Thank you so much !!!
GUEST




I don't even know where to start except THIS WAS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE. I couldn't have asked or dreamed of a better officiant. He was flexible, answered all my questions, very patient and JUST GREAT. We are very happy to have shared our day with The Wedding Judge - Anthony. We HIGHLY recommend him!
GUEST




He was great! Very easy to work with and very open to what we wanted for the ceremony. He provided group of diffrent ceremony readings to choose from if we wanted to use any of them and I was able to make a change to one of the ceremony readings and it was perfect.
GUEST




Very reliable professional and patient. Did very well at the ceremony. I would reccomend him to anyone I know.
GUEST




Anthony did an amazing job as our wedding officiant. The ceremony was absolutely perfect! We had several guests complement the ceremony and the kind words that Anthony had to say. He was very quick to respond to e-mails and was very flexible and easy to work with. I would highly recommended Anthony to anyone looking for a professional well-spoken officiant.
GUEST




Very responsive to emails and calls, flexible, reliable, great value!!
GUEST




We wanted a super simple, fast wedding at our favorite park and that is just what Anthony gave us. Thank you for making our day a memorable special one.
GUEST




Anthony provided multiple options for a ceremony, or any compilation we desired. He's also easy to work with, and helpful.
GUEST




Amazing!! He did a great job! He customized our ceremony and it was beautiful!
GUEST




We renewed our vows on our 10th anniversary after being together for almost 20 years and having the right officiator for the job was obviously important for us. This being a double whammy of a milestone event and all.
Anthony Behrens was on time, dressed perfectly, spoke clearly and loudly (he had to since our rented P.A. system turned out to be too difficult to use!). It's just too bad we don't get married more often because I would use him again and again :) and will if he's available for our 25th!
GUEST




He was great! My husband and I are very happy that we found him and that he could marry us. He always responded in a timely manner and was really accommodating. Our wedding started a little over an hour late and he was very understanding. I would recommend him to any one of my friends or family and know that they would be just as pleased as we were.
GUEST




Anthony was awesome!! He was very flexible and drove down for our rehearsal and made it fun for us! On our wedding day he was everything we wanted. He was very professional and his experience showed through his work!
I would recommend him to anyone that asks!
GUEST




My fiance was injured on the job and had to have emergency spinal surgery on a Friday night, then we found out he would need to have elbow surgery Sunday 7/8/2012. I knew he would need me to help in the coming weeks, but turns out you can only use FMLA for a spouse . . . . so we decided to pull the wedding date in a month :) I started my search for someone around 9:30 PM Saturday night for a Sunday ceremony....Anthony was great. He responded quickly and we had everything arranged before midnight....he even gave us a deal on his fee :) Most importantly he was able to put up with my very crabby and very sick man, making the moment as special and meaningful as it could be. Thanks again for everything :)
GUEST




Anthony was great! He is very professional. I would definitely reccomend him to anyone looking for an officiant.
GUEST




Anthony was awesome! He was was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly friendly. I would highly recommend Anthony to any couple looking for a warm, relaxed, friendly and professional officiant! We were incredibly pleased! :-)
GUEST




I am very impressed with the service we received from Anthony. He gave us the exact ceremony we asked for. Anthony was very responsive, listened to what we wanted, and gave us exactly that. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding officiant.
GUEST




Wonderful person, easy to work with, great speaker....just great all around. Would definitely recommend Anthony to anyone looking for an officiant.
GUEST




If you're still looking for a fantastic wedding officiant, you need look no further. In addition to the usual stresses of wedding planning, my new wife and I were challenged to plan our wedding from halfway across the country. But Anthony made our experience so simple in regard to being our officiant. He was reachable by phone or email any time to answer any questions or concerns that we had and he explained everything in a manner that we as newcomers could understand easily. He worked around our schedule to meet with us a few months prior to the wedding to get to know eachother and discuss the details in person which we really appreciated. He is professional, punctual, yet has a good sense of humor and really performs a great ceremony. We couldn't have asked for anyone better and we reccommend him to anybody still trying to make up their mind. He is very generous and thoughtful and you won't be disappointed. Two thumps way, way up!
GUEST




My husband and I just recently had Anthnoy Behrens as our wedding judge in Dallas, Oregon area. He's excellent! During the 4 month prior to our wedding, Anthony and us met two times in person and communicated many times by email regarding wedding legal procedure, rehearsal, ceremony preference etc. Anthony's biggest merit is that he's consistently responsive by email or by SMS, punctual and cooperative. Anthony did a great job conducting our ceremony. His professionalism and great voice are something that always remain on our mind.
GUEST




Anthony Behrens did an amazing job! He was always an email/call away. He was able to incorparate things that I personally wanted to add and added it into the ceremony perfectly. I'm VERY happy we went to Anthony to be our officiant. He definately took a bunch of stress off my shoulders. Thank Anthony for all your help!
GUEST




Highly recommended wedding officiant! Anthony was well spoken, friendly, fun, and most importantly very professional. We were pleased to have him be such a big part of our special day! Thanks again Anthony we had a great time and appreciate how smoothly everything went!
GUEST




Anthony was great. His sample ceremonies are thoughtful, and really capture a lot about what makes a wedding a special event. We were able to mix-n-match two ceremonies that really spoke to us. His rehearsal guide is all you need to get through a simple wedding, and it was so nice to not have to worry about filing paperwork and dealing with any of that after the wedding, because Anthony took care of it all!
GUEST




Judge Anthony Behrens is an exceptional person and a great officiant. He was open to our needs, flexible with his time, helpful with the vows, and his price was perfect. He is friendly, and we would not of wanted anyone else to marry us.
GUEST




Anthony was so great, he was very helpful with our vows we had a wedding with about 60 guest and just one person standing with us so we did not do a rehersal which we didn't need to Anthony helped us out with that on showing us a few thing before the wedding . He is an amazing speaker he really helped in making our special day be more than we could have ever imagined.
GUEST




Anthony was AWESOME!!!! He did our ceremony all in Spanish and it was WONDERFUL!!! Thank you so much!! I couldn't have chosen a better officiant!!
GUEST




Anthony was great, my husband and I would recommend him to any couple that is getting married. I was nice that we were able to write out what we wanted for our ceremony. We were very happy that we found Anthony.

GUEST




Every person at my wedding-from my ultra-conservative 81-yr-old grandma-in-law to the rock and roll groom and bride (that's me!) LOVED Anthony. My mother, days after the ceremony, is STILL mentioning how wonderful the ceremony was. Anthony was charming, professional, and pleasant. Hiring Anthony, aside from marrying my husband and choosing the Hallmark Resort, was the best decision I made for my wedding day. He worked with us every step of the way. I honestly couldn't be happier. Thank you, Anthony!
GUEST




Anthony was great! He made us comfortable and was there to answer our questions. We met him before the wedding to discuss what we'd like, and he emailed us nice samples that we could modify as much as we liked. He made it clear that this was our wedding and that we were free to do whatever we wanted with it. He filled out the paperwork for us and was always nice and professional. We highly recommend him!
GUEST




I was so happy and excited when we found him! We wanted a small and simple wedding, and he was able to accomodate is with that, as well as intertwining a couple things into the ceremony! We were also late for our wedding (oops), and it was nice that he didn't get extremely upset or anything towards us! He still helped make our day special! Thank you!!
GUEST




We found Anthony on WeddingWire and I am so happy that we chose him! We told him how we saw our ceremony going and what was important to us and what wasn't and he was able to customize it for us. His templates offered lots of variety and made it easy to map out. It was a pleasure being married by him and meeting his family! Highly reccommend!
GUEST




Anthony assisted us on very short notice and was very accommodating to our needs and wishes. We had a small ceremony and his amazing wife was available to take pictures on our special day. Would highly recommend Anthony to officiate under any circumstances. Thank you for making our day so special!
GUEST




Wedding Judge Anthony was terrific. Professional and punctual and really cared about what we wanted for the service. I highly recommend.
GUEST




The ease of being able to customize our vows and proceedings made our wedding a tailored event that was just right for us.
GUEST




I loveeeddd our officiant,he was very professional and very understanding we were a few minutes late but he was patient and polite he even waited a few minutes longer so one of our guest can arrive to our small ceremony,i loved how funny and upbeat he was.. I would really recomened him. Thank you once again:)
GUEST




Anthony did an outstanding job as our officiant. Very professional, lighthearted, but also pays attention to detail. Would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant.
GUEST




Anthony came all the way to Portland for our very very quick ceremony and it was so perfect. He's professional, punctual, and extremely helpful when it came to customizing our ceremony and explaining how all the paperwork gets filed, etc.
Highly recommended! Thank you so so much!
GUEST




Anthony was great!! 5 stars all around.
My husband and I are always ridiculously late to everything (our pre-wedding meeting with Anthony and even our wedding itself were not exceptions to our lateness rule), yet Anthony was always super friendly and accommodating anyway, even after waiting forever for us.
He was also completely smooth during our ceremony when my husband made a hilarious slip-up during his vows. Anthony handled it with ease and then made a perfect joke about it after the ceremony, which just makes the funny flubbed vows story even better.
On top of being very personable and beyond patient, he was completely professional and knew exactly what he was doing before, during, and after the ceremony. I would definitely recommend Anthony to all future brides.
GUEST




If you need a wedding officiant, Anthony is the guy. We are not religious so we didn't have a pastor and did not have anyone in mind for our wedding official. We were looking for someone that could be understated and appropriate for our ceremony, and also help us come with the ceremony wording, since we did not want to write our own vows. Anthony met with us beforehand and gave us an overview of what he does. Once we hired him he sent us outlines of all kinds of ceremonies that we could mix and match and add personal touches to, which was great. He even emailed back and forth with me proof reading what I came up with to make sure it would work in the ceremony. He gave us all kinds of helpful information on where to go for the wedding license, and then completed all the paperwork after the wedding. He showed up on time, looked and acted totally professional, and added a special touch to the wedding. As far as value goes, I think the value he provides, especially for someone like me that did all the planning myself, far exceeds what he charges. He also has a great personality and is very easy to talk to and work with.

GUEST




Anthony was very professional and was very accomodating for our very quiet and simple wedding. We want to thank him for coming to Eugene, OR to marry us on a Sunday afternoon.
GUEST




Very professional! We had the most amazing ceremony and it was catered to us to include our daughter. He was very kind, well dressed, nice voice, punctual. All the things you look for in a good officiant! He is your guy! And he traveled quite a ways for our wedding. He was not at our rehearsal, but he made sure we still had some guidance by sending me a handout that was very handy. I was very pleased to have Anthony as our officiant.
GUEST




Anthony (the Wedding Judge) was very perfessional and flexable to our needs. We were married in a beach house that was pretty difficult to find. He arrived when we requested and gave us a very simple, yet elegant service. I was tremendously pleased with our service and with all the paperwork he assisted us with on the following day. Thank you so much for all your help and for making our wedding day a beautiful and lasting memory.
GUEST




The Oregon Wedding judge did a great job! He responded to emails and messages immediately and answered all of our questions. He was really helpful with suggestions while we were working out the details of the ceremony, but left all the decisions up to us. I would highly recommend him to anyone getting married.
GUEST




The ceremony was beautiful as expected. The officiant was great from the first consulting meeting to the ceremony. Instructions were straighforward and clear. Officiant was able to work the ceremony around to our liking. I would highly recommend the Wedding Judge to anyone who needs and officiant.
GUEST




Anthony was more than accomodating with our double wedding. We were very relaxed and just went with the flow and he went right along for the ride. He was very professional yet personable at the time. Thank you Anthony for everything what a great day it was.
GUEST




Anthony performed a beautiful wedding ceremony for us. I would highly recommend him.
GUEST




Anthony was great, the ceremonies he provides as a starting point were right on for us. He allowed us our freedom with what we wanted during the ceremony and respected us the entire time. We were able to get a hold of him in a pinch, after my brother backed out, and I felt that it all worked out very well. Thank you!
GUEST




He was wonderful, and went above and beyond what we expected. Mr. Behrens even sent us pictures of the wedding site before we were able to visit it, and answered all of our questions immediately. He was perfect, thanks so much!
GUEST




Anthony was really helpful. He sent us 4 or 5 standard ceremonies that we could choose from or start from. We wrote the first two paragraphs or so and then mixed and matched and customized from the standard ceremonies to come up with something that worked for us.
We didn't have a wedding party and our ceremony was going to be pretty straightforward, so Anthony sent us a rehearsal guide and we used that to do our own rehearsal. He was available to come out for a rehearsal, but this was perfect for us.
On the day, Anthony came early to check out the site and then did a lovely job of officiating. We got an email from him within a day or two saying he had submitted our paperwork to the county. All in all, a really good experience!
GUEST




Anthony was wonderful to work with! I felt he listened to everything we had to share, took the time to get to know us and performed a great ceremony. I am so happy he married us!
GUEST




Judge Anthony was definitely the main factor in the success of our wedding ceremony. From helping pick a beautiful setting, to assisting even in seating and custom vows arrangement. His professional demeanor and extremely friendly and patient approach helps calm any tension and makes for a wonderful and joyous occasion! I would highly recommend him to anyone I know in search of a wedding officiant.
GUEST




We found Anthony using weddingwire.com and we knew from meeting him for the first time that he was the one we wanted to conduct our wedding. He is very professional with a soft spoken demeanor. Anthony was very flexible, made us feel like we could ask questions openly, and helped us with the whole process from start to finish. We feel that Anthony's price was very affordable and he went above and beyond our expectations. He arrived on time with time to spare for a detailed run through of the ceremony. Anthony also helped with filling out our paperwork and filed it the same day as the wedding.
We highly recommend Anthony as your wedding officiant!
GUEST




Anthony Behrens did a very nice job with our Christian ceremony. It was a private ceremony with just myself and my now-husband, really very short. Anthony drove 4 hours to officiate. We are from Michigan and I contacted Anthony Behrens via email and over the phone. He was always very helpful and patient with my zillion questions. I would definietly recommend Anthony Behrens for your ceremony.
GUEST




Anthony worked with us from day one. I was unable to actually meet him until the rehearsal day and I couldn't have asked for any better! With any questions I had, he got back to me right away. I am so glad he was apart of our special day! I wouldn't have changed a thing! Thank you, thank you Anthony!
GUEST




We ended up having to find an officiant very last-minute, and Anthony was more than happy to travel out to Salem and officiate our wedding! We couldn't have been happier!
GUEST




Anthony was awesome!!! He did a biligual ceremony for us that was GREAT!! I highly recomend him!
GUEST




I found Anthony via internet, didn't meet him, just booked him on a whim----phew, it totally worked out---Anthony fit in PERFECTLY with my wedding party and myself. He was able to get all our crazy friends and family in-line during rehearsal. For scheduling purposes, I had to change the time for rehearsal, and he made a point to make it work to be there. The ceremony was perfect, short and sweet, but meaningful. We were comfortable giving him all of our personal information to file. (which he did very quickly, we received our certified copy within 4 days of the wedding day) His sense of humor kept us relaxed---and after the ceremony, he came up to us and said, "Um, I am sorry to tell you this, but I messed up a little bit, we need to do the ceremony over" ---- my new husband and I looked at each other and then Anthony piped back in " Nah, I was just kidding, Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Nardin" . Perfection. All I can say is he was Perfect for our celebration. Thank you so much Anthony!!!!!
GUEST




Anthony was great! He was very generous with his time, meeting with us initially, exchanging a flurry of emails to get the ceremony perfect, facilitating our rehearsal, and of course, officiating our ceremony. We felt like we were in excellent hands. It was important to us to have it be our ceremony, and he had the perfect balance of facilitating and leading but not dominating. He had many sample ceremonies to work from, which really took the pressure off us. We wanted a modern, secular wedding, but didn't want to have to start from scratch. He really took the lead but left room for us to find a few readings and guide the tone of the ceremony. What a delight! Thanks!
GUEST




Anthony was fantastic to work with. He was very professional and personable. He listened carefully to my daughter and her finance and was very attentive throughout. He was patient with the late arrival of groomsmen and kept everything running smoothly. Highly recommended!
GUEST




We were very pleased to have Anthony as part of our special day. He offered many options for the ceremony; we were able to pick exactly what was most meaningful to us. We loved our ceremony; Anthony did a great job, and we were very much at ease with him. He provided quick responses to all our questions....all in all, we could not have been happier with our ceremony.
GUEST




Highly recommended! He assisted us with vow ideas, flow of the ceremony (which I found extremely helpful) and in the end, gave us a great day! I could not have asked for more. His demeanor is very calm, and I can honestly say that that was a huge asset to help me with my nerves!
Great guy. I can't say enough good things about him!
GUEST




We're very happy with Anthony. We knew as soon as we met with him that we wanted him to officiate our wedding. He sent us several ceremonies to choose from, and we used the spiritual ceremony. It's been a few weeks since our wedding, and guests are still telling us how beautiful the ceremony was! Highly recommended by both of us.
GUEST




Anthony is so awesome and easy to get along with! We were able to customize our ceremony and he was able to adjust to, and use our customizations with no problem, he officiated the ceremony PERFECTLY! We have no complaints and will definitely be referring whoever we can!
Thanks again!
Dan and Brandy McCaleb :-)
GUEST




My husband and I are not religious and not overly romantic, thus it was difficult to find an officiant who was not religiously affiliated and one who provided a variety of ceremonies for us to choose from. Anthony definitely fit the bill! As a former judge, Anthony has no specific religious affiliation, but he does offer religious ceremonies for those brides and grooms who desire them. He sent us four sample ceremonies, and we were able to pick and choose parts from each ceremony to create our own. Anthony was definitely the most reasonably priced, and he was more than willing to work with us when we needed assistance. I would recommend his services to anyone who wants a great ceremony and a reliable officiant...which I think would be every bride ;)
GUEST




Anthony was great to work with and gave us exactly what we were hoping for in our non-religious ceremony. We found him online, communicated with him via email, met him once, and knew that he would be the right person to do our ceremony. We also chose the "modern ceremony" and thought that it was lovely. It was fun to have him and his family at our rehearsal dinner and reception, too. They were kind enough to drive up to Portland from Salem for the events.
I would highly recommend Anthony. His services are VERY reasonably priced, and he is professional, yet easygoing and fun...just the kind of person we were looking for to do our ceremony.
GUEST




Anthony was a gem. We met with him once and knew he would be great for our officiant. He emailed us several types of ceremonies and we picked our favorite. Our guests raved about how nice it was. We didn't even have to change any part of his wording. We wanted to add a non-religious unity candle ceremony to the "modern" ceremony and he had just the right things to say. It was a pleasure to have him and his family at our rehearsal dinner, I only wish I would have thought to invite them to the reception. He drove all the way to Portland from his home and it was $175 total. Thanks Anthony!
Anthony was kind and he seemed like he had a gentle soul. Exactly whom a bride and groom need to perform their wedding.
Anthony was the officiant for our wedding ceremony, and we are both so happy to have had him! He listened carefully to what we wanted and gave us so many beautiful options and ways to design our ceremony. In the end, we decided a short and simple ceremony was "us" and he added enough fluidity to the ceremony to make it perfectly beautiful. I will be highly recommending him to all my brides as the best officiant in Oregon.
I always enjoy working with Anthony. He is professional, punctual and personable. Keep up the good work Judge!

I'm a former judge, and in the last six years or so, I've had the pleasure of officiating hundreds of weddings throughout Oregon and in Washington. I've officiated at very small and intimate gatherings (5 including me), to very large and formal weddings (500 plus). I've officiated at all types of venues including ballrooms, museums, hotels, vineyards, wineries, bars, formal gardens, farms, churches, beaches, parks, backyards, and living rooms. I've even had the pleasure of officiating in the State Capitol Building and believe I'm only one of two people to have had that honor.
I've also officiated at all different kinds of weddings including bi-lingual, traditional, civil, Steampunk, romantic, modern, Spanish, non-denominational Christian, theme, Seventh Day Adventist, spiritual, and Buddhist.
I have
several ceremonies from which you can choose and each one is fully customizeable. I'm not a stuffy old judge-type. Rather, I'm very flexible, and I will help you to create exactly the kind of ceremony you want.
Although many people book me
months in advance, I can almost always schedule ceremonies on short notice and last minute (even same day). Regardless of when your scheduling, my prices are the same and are very reasonable (typically less than half what other
officiants charge).
People often ask what they should look for in an officiant. Surprisingly, you might be able to find someone that has even more competitive rates than I do and save ten or twenty bucks, but you only get married once.
So, you should have it done right. My advice is to choose someone reliable and with whom you feel comfortable. You should find someone flexible that will give you the type of ceremony you want. Experience is
also something that's very important. You definitely want someone who feels comfortable in front of people and who knows what he/she is doing. Finally, one thing you might not think of is that your officiant will have access to your very
personal information (mothers' maiden names, dates of birth, social security numbers, etc.). This information is all contained in the marriage license. By law, your officiant has the right to keep a copy of your license. With this in mind,
you certainly want someone trustworthy. Be careful - especially when shopping for officiants on the internet. I've testified before the Oregon State Legislature about this issue, and as a licensed attorney and former judge, I'm bound
by strict ethical requirements. Your information is certainly safe with me.
Let me know how I can help make your special day perfect!!
