Tyler and I are both so happy that we chose Larry as our officiant. The ceremony was just what we wanted - something that seemed harder to find as a non-religious couple. Also when our best man didn't have the rings at the altar, Larry had such a great idea to do the ring ceremony again right at the beginning of the reception. This made it even more special in the end and something we will always remember. I personally had several guests tell me that they were surprised and delighted at how unique and beautiful the ceremony was. If we ever decide to renew our vows, we will definitely hire him again. I will also be recommending him to anyone I know that's about to get married. We can't thank Larry enough.

Larry James provides the most touching and sentimental ceremony that I could find. He is a very kind and friendly man, who sits down with you and gets to know you before you sign a contract. I enjoyed working with Larry James, he is very professional and I could not have asked for a nicer and more memorable ceremony (he even got my husband on the verge of tears, which is VERY uncommon in our household). Thank you Larry, I highly recommend others give you a try, they will not be disappointed.

Dear Larry, Please accept our invitational tour of Corrizo Mountain or the Navajo and Hopi Nation as our hospitality and gratitude for the Magnificient job you did in uniting us on September 30, 2011 at the Little America Hotel. We would like to arrange a weekend either in November or early January 2012. Please let us know what you feel about this. Everyone in attendance was pleased with "the sand and rose ceremony" and the proper wording in acknowledging our maker to fit our culture. We are especially happy to be the first Native American couple to experience your expert, professional and distinctive style of Art. Please contact us by e-mail and this is your friends Robert and Annaletta.

You can't go wrong with Larry James. What else can I say? He was perfect! Everyone commented on how the ceremony was unique and it really was all about us.

Larry James went above and beyond our expectation of an officiant. Tailoring the ceremony to fit our needs exactly. Larry James took the necessary amount of time needed to truly understand us and our personalities to accommodate what we were looking for in a ceremony. This was the last thing we expected during our first interview (an unrushed meaningful interview with depth), we are very impressed and his reputation holds true!Larry James didn’t just show up to rehearsal, he participated, offering feedback based on his experience. Larry James took time to understand us which resulted in the personal touch that a wedding should have. We like to work with people who “want” to do their profession, show passion and care about their service or product. Larry James does just that and played a significant role on the biggest day of our lives. We are confident that nobody could have done it better.

Larry was the most amazing officiant. I am not super religious and he described me perfectly. Spiritual but not religious. His ceremony was so beautiful and that was the thing I got complimented on the most. Every single person said they were in tears with everything he said and they had never seen such a beautiful ceremony. I was so lucky to find him. Thanks Larry! Karissa Shipp :) 12/5/2010

Our ceremony was absolutely amazing! Larry was very accommodating to work with and provided us with many suggestions throughout the entire planning process. Our ceremony was breathtaking and several people could not stop talking about how amazing our officiant was. He even helped me out in the middle of the ceremony as I became very emotional! Thanks Larry for making our wedding so memorable!

Larry was the most important part of our ceremony. He came very professionally dressed (he is willing to do some funny stuff too) and carried the ceremony better than we could have imagined. He was an absolute delight to have as our officiant and you should have him too!

Larry James has a beautiful and meaningful ceremony. When my husband and I first met with him we both got a little teary-eyed reading it and we both felt that the ceremony described how we really feel about marriage. What we liked about Larry was that he was very organized and prompt, and he allowed us to personalize the ceremony to meet our wishes.

We did not want an overly religious ceremony and Larry James let us be in control of what we wanted. Our ceremony was beautiful and meaningful. Although, he is a little more expensive in the end we felt that he was definitely worth the price. He even took lots of pictures and sent us a CD. Our guests raved about our ceremony and how special it was

Larry was so wonderful through the process of planning and doing! He provided us with information on getting our marriage license and name change, ss name change DL name change, and everything. Everyone at our wedding really enjoyed his beautiful ceremony. And even when my DJ's Mic's went out, Larry kept cool and spoke up so my guests could hear him. He took pictures and was just over all great. He was referred to me by my Maid of Honor and I will definitely refer him!!

Neil and I married on November 14, 2009. I checked into officiants early so I had no problems securing my date with Larry but if you wait too long he is definitely in high demand. I had gone to a wedding show and was disparaged as I felt intimidated and did not really like any of the officiants I met. When Neil and I met with Larry, we knew he was the right one. If I ever had a question, I never had any problems reaching him and we were able to speak the same day every time. Neil is not as religious as I am so we wanted a mixed ceremony. The Lord was there with us but the focus was on our love. We also chose to have a Hand-Fasting Ceremony to honor our roots as well as the Sand Ceremony. I cannot tell you how beautiful and wonderful the Ceremony was. I had about 130 people at my wedding and EVERY person stated that it was the BEST ceremony that they EVER attended. Some of our friends hate weddings due to the religious roots and others are devout catholic...to have all of them so impressed speaks volumes about Larry!!!I recommend that if you want the ceremony of your dreams you should choose Larry James. Thanks so much for Everything Larry. Marlayna and Neil

We wanted a unique ceremony and Larry James provided just that. Our guests provided us with several compliments on the ceremony and he was very easy to work with. He really works to make the ceremony about you!

Although Larry's services are little more expensive than other ministers, it was totally worth it. My husband and I enjoyed the ceremony so much. It was entertaining and heartfelt. We received several compliments on the ceremony itself and on Larry! Larry is professional, personable, and he has a great sense of humor. He was also flexible in rescheduling the rehearsal when we had a change of plans. He really was a joy to work with!

Brett and I got married on April 5th, 2009 at the Camelback Inn JW Marriott. It was a very small intimate wedding. Larry James was nothing less than perfect..he made everything a breeze! When we sat down for our first meeting with him we could tell he was very organized and had a lot of experience. He made it nice so we could customize our ceremony to exactly how we wanted it. My family loved him and he made our ceremony very special. Thanks Larry, you will always be a part of our special day!! Love Brett and Jeana Leonard!!!!

Larry James did a wonderful job during our ceremony. His ceremony was so moving and different than other ones that we had heard at other weddings we had attended. He also took the time to meet with us and know us as a couple. And he sends a follow up e-mail afterward to walk you through the name changing process and he sends you photos that he took at the wedding...and they are good! Such a nice man and I would recommend using him.

Larry James was great. He made our wedding unique and fun. I picked Mr. Larry James based on his amazing ideas and how great of a speaker he was. I had been to many weddings that made hearing the officiant very difficult. No worries there with Larry James because he is an awesome public speaker. I highly recommend his services to any bride.
