Highly disappointed in The Wedding Guy!
I definitely do not recommend John to any couple looking to get married! During our initial meeting with John everything seemed great and well-organised with YouTube videos discussing wedding ceremonies and the planning process. Excitedly we booked John to officiate our wedding in October 2024. Included in his fee was that he would register our wedding for us with home affairs. John put the incorrect wedding date on our marriage certificate. It is now July 2025 and he still hasn’t rectified this matter! I have been sending him countless of messages and just get ignored. My husband sent him a message 2 weeks ago and John says that home affairs has been “offline” and he cannot check with them. My husband has sent him countless more messages after he’s initial response and John just doesn’t reply to his messages either. This has been a very frustrating process and we are just utterly disappointed with the service which we have paid John to do. Do not waste your time and money with The Wedding Guy.

Marriage never got registered with home affairs, 6 months later
Had to give 1 star to write this review. Would give 0 if I could, as I received 0 service. 6 months after being told our marriage registration will take 2 weeks we are still not married according to home affairs. Not a single update from John. He does not answer his phone. He also puts his phone off after trying to call him again. So by the looks of things its just a money making scheme without any actual service being provided. You have been warned

Would never recommend him
Seemed nice in our first chat. Took our deposit and then disappeared on us. He was impossible to make plans with and just totally unreliable and *************. We went with another (amazing) pastor in the end and the deposit we gave this guy was money that went down the drain. Never heard from him again. He has deleted his Google reviews because they were so bad. I would never recommend him to anyone.

Our marriage was never Registered with Home Affairs
We used John, The Wedding Guy as our marriage officiant for our wedding, as he came highly recommended and was seen on all the right wedding sites etc. First impressions, he looks wonderful, has all the information and YouTube links on ceremony types and seemed very helpful. He provided a good wedding ceremony, but sadly that’s where it ended. A few weeks after our wedding, we discovered our marriage wasn’t registered. I had followed up with John on numerous occasions and via different platforms (cellphone, WhatsApp and email) to ask him for a copy of our Marriage Registry and to follow up on when he would register our marriage. He didn’t respond to any of my emails, messages or calls. He even rejected some of my calls. With no luck of getting hold of him ourselves we got our wedding coordinator to follow up with him. She too had no luck as he simply blamed Home Affairs for the delay. A few weeks later, however, we were still unmarried and no response from John. With no other option, we had to contact and pay a 3rd party to assist us with our marriage. Such a pity as at first he seemed like a genuine person but never followed through on his service. We are yet to receive an explanation/response from John as to why he withheld our documents or didn’t register our marriage in the first place. Registering our marriage was part of the service he offered and that we had paid for. Based on my experience, I wouldn’t recommend him as an officiant.

Stay Away from this UNRELIABLE Wedding Guy!
My first contact with John was very good; he explained the wedding process well and within a couple of hours he followed up with a more detailed email and documentation on next steps to follow. Thereafter, he was completely unresponsive! He moved and then cancelled the first appointment we had with him and then proceeded to "ghost" us on subsequent whataspp communications. He never bothered to contact us again or to explain why he was not interested in our business. Completely unprofessional. Stay away from this Unreliable Wedding Guy!

Byron & Tarryn's Wedding 25 September 2021
With all the delays and date changes due to COVID thank you for being patient and understanding. Was an absolute pleasure meeting you weeks before the big day. We just want to say thank you so much for the beautiful, chilled service you gave at our wedding.

John married us on the 30th of October 2021, he went over and above what we expected by reading the energy of my wife and I
John married us on the 30th of October 2021, he went over and above what we expected by reading the energy of my wife and I. John's manner was comforting, warm and humorous at exactly the right time and it put our nerves at ease. John is extremely professional and we could not have asked for a better officiant.
