Wonderful officiate!

 

Jon was wonderful! He was prompt and kind, patient and informative. Everyone in attendance said it was the best marriage ceremony they had seen including my father, a former minister himself. I could not be more pleased with our choice of officiate!

Choose Jon to Marry You 

 

Jon was our officiant and we couldn’t be happier with his professionalism and responsiveness. We had an outdoor wedding outside of Hood River and we were looking for an officiant who would make us feel comfortable on a nerve-wracking day. He made it so easy with pre-planned scripts that were editable, easy payment systems and made himself available when needed. We were so happy with the beautiful ceremony he performed! Thank you for marrying us!

Couldn’t be happier with our Officiant❤️

Jon was an excellent wedding officiant, though before the ceremony we had only spoken a few times on the phone, he had a way of making me feel comfortable, and I just trusted him. He used small details from questions he had asked to make our ceremony feel special and not so generic. He is a very warm person and he made both Scott and I feel at ease. He was on time, professional and knew exactly what to do with the paperwork. I would highly recommend him as an officiant for any couple. Thanks so much for making our day so special❤️

REPLY:

Thank you so much for the fine review, Brooke. It was a pleasure meeting and marrying you and Scott.

Jon did a terrific job for our July 20, 2019 wedding! His email communication was always very prompt and thorough and he answered all of our questions. He offered us a religious or non-religious ceremony, and we chose the latter. The script he provided was really nice, and we made only minor adjustments, which he is very open to. Everyone told me that they thought our officiant was excellent, and I am so please to have worked with him! Thanks!

Couldn’t have been more perfect!

We cannot say enough great things about Jon!! He was EXACTLY what we were looking for in an officiant for a traditional, simple, & intimate elopement ceremony. Jon was incredibly responsive when we first reached out to him and again whenever we needed him (which was only a few times). He provided us with a “blueprint” so to speak, of the ceremony (also perfect for us and also exactly what we were looking for) which we were easily able to adjust a bit to custom fit us more. Arriving 20 mins early, he effortlessly blended right in with our crazy families as if he’d been a lifelong family friend. Jon was fun, easy going and laid back, yet still traditional and extremely professional. After he’d left, everyone kept remarking how impressed with him they all were. Jon is an absolute natural and we wouldn’t recommend going with anyone BUT HIM for an officiant! We can’t thank you enough Jon! We couldn’t have gotten or even asked for a better officiant nor could we be more pleased!!! You were an absolute delight as well as absolutely PERFECT from the get-go!!

Thank you so much, Tara, for the fantastic review. You make me blush! Thank you again for selecting me as your officiant. I wish you and Steven a lifetime of love and happiness.

Jon was wonderful! Our wedding was a bit more unconventional with us including our three dogs in our ceremony. Jon totally accommodated us! Even when our dog Charlie ran between Jon and us he was so polite. I felt so bad. Thank you, Jon, for marrying us and thank you for being so wonderful to us on our special day!

It was my pleasure, Kristin. And thanks for the photos and the great review.

Faith Vang on Google, November 2018 Five Stars Imageon Google…

Jon officiated our wedding and did a great job! Our wedding was intimate with only our closest friends and family, so it was important to us to have someone who had an understanding of the atmosphere we wanted to create for our special day. Jon was easy to work with, responsive, and made things easy. Highly recommend!

Thank you, Faith. Marrying you and Dorrien was my pleasure.

We had a great experience with Jon Turino. He was very nice and performed a beautiful wedding service for us. Our guests commented many times that they loved the scriptures he included and the nice things he said throughout the service. My three-year-old was being very silly the whole ceremony and kept picking up dropped flowers and insisted on standing with her Daddy and I during the ceremony and Jon just smiled at her and went with the flow of things. I definitely recommend him to anyone. He is amazing.

Jon was absolutely the perfect officiant for our perfect day. We can’t imagine what it would have been like without him. From the start, he was so great about communication and answering all of our (many) questions. After we picked him, he was always available to answer any further questions that came up (ceremony, marriage license, etc.). As for the big day, he was everything we wanted and more. He worked with us on the service script, providing a fantastic blueprint, while being open to our suggestions and changes, while also beautifully reading some personal words we had written that we did not want to speak ourselves. As an aside, when my voice started to crack from emotion while reading our vows, Jon calmly and quietly whispered to me one word, “breathe.” I’ll never forget that. We received so many compliments from our guests about Jon. Thank you, Mr. Turino.

Reverend Jon Turino, Minister responded with the following comments:

We used Jon Turino twice. Once for a private ceremony and once for a public wedding about 10 months apart. Both weddings were professionally conducted with some extemporaneous and relevant comments. For instance, during our public ceremony, we had some rain and in Filipino tradition, this is a blessing. Jon was aware of this and informed our guests. We were blessed to have Jon as our wedding officiant twice. And, if we get married the third time, we’ll certainly use him again. We highly recommend his professional and adaptable service. Sincerely, Charles & Jenny Freeman

Jon was a delight from the moment we met him. He was so easy to talk to and made us feel so comfortable about the process. During the ceremony both my husband and I were very nervous, Jon said, “it’s ok, take your time. Breath.”. That put us at ease immediately. He has this calming way about him, and there were moments where my husband and I stumbled on a few words during our vows, but he allowed us to laugh it off and continue.

The best of the best

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.

Jon was absolutely fantastic beyond words!! I can’t tell you how many people came (and) told me how wonderful the ceremony was and how amazing our officiant was. He was a dream to work with, too! He responded so quickly and made it extremely easy to set up a meeting with, even though I put it off longer than I should have. He made it easy to customize the script and was extremely organized. He was very focused during the rehearsal and made sure that everything was ready. On the day, he made sure that everything was done correctly. He is worth his weight in gold, and there’s no one else I would ever want to work with more than him! Seriously, Jon Turino is THE BEST!!
