Ashley Reverend John, to borrow other reviews, is larger than life with an amazing deep voice, gentle soul with a Goliath heart. He took control when our wedding planner ran late. Organized the musicians, checked the sound system. talked me off of the edge, settled my mother, and best of all firmly explained our's was a cel phone/twitter/selfie free ceremony. He had to prompt me, gently, during the vows for I was so struck by the moment. Thank you Try and get on his calendar. You may have to make you reservation far in advance but themn you will have the BEST wedding officiant/minister/FRIEND presiding over your ceremony.
