Make Your Moments Unforgettable with John Wendel – Comedian, Wedding Officiant, and Event Speaker Extraordinaire!
Hi, I’m John Wendel – a top-rated stand-up comedian, seasoned wedding officiant, and speaker who knows how to bring the perfect blend of humor, heart, and authenticity to every event.
🎤 Comedy That Connects
Looking for someone who can light up the room and leave your guests talking for weeks? I specialize in crafting custom comedy that resonates. From laugh-out-loud stand-up to cleverly tailored roasts, I adapt to your audience – whether you need PG-rated family fun, sharp corporate wit, or even something a bit more edgy.
Celebrating a birthday, planning a holiday party, or hosting a big corporate event? Let’s create a performance that feels personal, relevant, and, most importantly, hilarious.
💍 Wedding Ceremonies as Unique as You Are
Your love story is one of a kind – your wedding ceremony should be too. As a wedding officiant, I design a ceremony that reflects your style and personality. Whether you want it heartfelt, humorous, secular, spiritual, or just short and sweet, I’ll make sure it’s exactly what you envision, even if you have no idea what you want.
I’ve had the privilege of officiating countless weddings, elopements, and Vow Renewals, bringing warmth, lightheartedness, and a touch of humor to the most important day of people’s lives. Let me help make your “I do” moment unforgettable.
🌟 More Than Entertainment – It’s an Experience
With years of experience on stages big and small, I bring professionalism, charisma, and my smooth, golden voice to every performance. I’ve been fortunate to win contests, appear on TV, and share the spotlight with comedy legends – but my real passion is making your event stand out.
Whether you’re planning a wedding, corporate event, or special celebration, my goal is to leave you and your guests smiling, laughing, and talking about it for years to come.

Thanks for reading about me! I joined thumbtack.com about a year ago and I've been so very fortunate to be able to offer my services to the most amazing couples!
I'm a female Ordained Minister in the Hudson Valley Region of New York. I've married couples beneath waterfalls, along the edge of the Ashokan Reservoir, overlooking the Hudson River, in a rustic barn, an open field and standing under a tree in the bride's childhood backyard! I love the Hudson Valley and will help you find your memorable spot or go wherever you need me too!
I became an Officiant shortly after I got married in 2010 and am so happy I did! I've been able to perform the ceremony for family, for friends, couples that desire a non-denominational wedding and those from out of town who choose the beautiful Hudson River Valley as the backdrop for their special day.
Thanks again and I hope we have a chance to meet!
<3 Michelle
