Joan Godden, BA (Western)

One of the best parts of our wedding was how calm Joan Godden was and how she walked us through it. Both my husband and I are not comfortable being the center of attention and standing up in front of people. But Joan made us as comfortable as she possibly could. September 2024

Joan Godden was the best officiant ever and completely exceeded our expectations! She was wonderful leading up to the wedding and met with us prior to go over all the details. Joan was very supportive in our quest to have an outdoor wedding, and worked with the groom to make some quick decisions about the ceremony, such as delaying by 15 minutes to miss the heaviest of the rain and moving the signing of the documents inside. Joan made our ceremony absolutely perfect, and it was more than I could have even wished for. She far surpassed our expectations in every way. We opted to have an alternative-style wedding with a black dress and Star Wars themed ceremony. Joan knocked our socks off by showing up dressed as Princess Leia. This was an extra special touch as I was carrying Princess Leia's lightsabre down the aisle as my bouquet holder. She also pronounced all the odd nerd words with exact precision (Lah'mu, Shmi Skywalker, Tatooine). It was certainly a leap of faith to trust a name that I found searching the web, but I truly don't think we could have found a better officiant. Thank you so much, Joan; you really made our day special! June 2024

Once connected with Joan, she did a marvelous job of working with us and guiding us. Having an officiant who was professional gentle and kind. The whole timeline up to and after the ceremony was so well managed. Thank you! August 2023

We are SO happy we chose Joan as our wedding officiant! She is so easy going, kind and passionate.

Thank you to Joan (Godden) for a great and smooth service, especially during the pandemic! Your experience was shown in calling people to their seats, in prepping up the different pens for signing (COVID19 best practice), and for the pack of tissues for my wife. Your pacing was excellent, and pronunciation of the Vietnamese words we asked you to do was spot on and made it fun! I can keep going on all the things you did well! Thank you so much!

Joan Godden and All Seasons made our special day absolutely perfect. We decided to elope seeing as it was our second marriage and we wanted to keep it simple and meaningful. Our decision made and performed within two weeks. Joan was so helpful and so lighthearted. She even worked some personal jokes into our ceremony much to the surprise of my husband. It was perfect and we would recommend her to anyone. Thank you for making our special day exactly the way we wanted it. Florence & Jim Crawford June 2018

Joan Godden was exactly the right person to make our wedding ceremony personal, unique, and entertaining to our guests! She got to know us well and worked closely with us to prepare a special ceremony that even included a special section to include our daughter in our vows.
