I DO NOT USE PHONE OR EMAIL FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY UNTIL LATE NIGHT - PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL LAST MINUTE IF YOU DON'T HEAR FROM ME WHEN IT ISN'T MY BUSINESS HOURS.
ALSO, I WORK IN A PLACE WHERE I CANNOT USE MY PHONE, SO I CANNOT ALWAYS ANSWER IMMEDIATELY - IF I TELL YOU I CAN DO SOMETHING, I CAN, DON'T WORRY IF YOU DON'T GET AN ANSWER TO A QUESTION IMMEDIATELY.
I started doing weddings in 2007, and I have done around 1,000 weddings since then. I go out of my way to be friendly, personable, and give personal service rather than just cookie-cutter weddings.
I am flexible on pricing to a loss for me, but always give the best service no matter what. I love to travel, so I don't mind traveling far to serve you. In the past I have traveled as far as South America and Europe for weddings.
I love performing weddings and delivering speeches at other events. Serving others and making people happy is a great source of satisfaction.

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.
