We scheduled a date to meet with Chase to sign our marriage certificate. We arrived slightly before the time we discussed, sat at a table in the small neighborhood park, popped a bottle of champagne, placed our marriage certificate on the table and waited and waited and waited........We called Chase 20 minutes after we had agreed to be at the park who informed us that he had been there, awkwardly watching us from afar but was unsure if we were the right couple. Instead of calling, texting, approaching us he just left.....and told us we were "out of luck" because he was driving home and not coming back.How do you not make ANY attempt to contact your client? If you are looking for someone to RUIN your big day, look no further. CHASE WAITS did it for us, he can do it for you!

Chase did a great job for our wedding. We wanted someone laid back who would keep us relaxed and having fun, but still capture the seriousness of the occasion. He had some great ideas for our ceremony and was so easy to work with. I recommend him to anyone.

This was my first wedding and I was very nervous about who we would get to officiate and direct our vows. I am not particularly religious so when it came time to pick someone out I really was not particularly thrilled about getting a man of the cloth but I also didn't mind some mention of faith either. My fiance looked a good bit on various sites and finally found Chase.We decided to set up a meeting with Chase at a local coffee house. Chase was there when we got there and fully prepared. Most important, to me anyways, was that he seemed very relaxed and calm and it really served to calm my nerves then, so I knew it would help at our wedding (which I wasn't nervous about but thought perhaps on the big day I might be). After a nice discussion about what we preferred to have Chase presented us with a good bit of documentation to help us decide upon our ultimate vows. Our meeting lasted about a half hour and went really well. We had planned to meet another officiant afterwards but we didn't even get to the car from leaving the coffee shop before we had decided to go ahead and retain Chase.Upon arriving home I immediately Paypal'ed Chase the money (another thing I like about Chase is the fact that he's modern and not only knows what Paypal is but actually accepts it!!) and we got everything set up. We then met with him again a bit closer to the wedding and showed him what we had selected as our vows. We chose a little of this and a little of that. He had offered us a great selection to choose from and made it very easy for us to pick our ultimate vows.On our wedding day Chase arrived early and, as before, was a calming presence in a sea of sorta craziness. I really wasn't nervous a lot but I was a little and Chase quietly explained everything about how it would all go and made me feel 100% comfortable about what we were doing so that I wouldn't mess up our big day. My groomsmen all really liked Chase as well.Our ceremony went off without a hitch. Chase read all of our vows really well, as if he was talking and not reading (I'm sure he has a lot of vows from his selection memorized which helps!). He did not rush but he also didn't linger and draw things out, A common criticism I have of weddings is the officiant tends to "drone" and Chase did not do that! He was great and I'd highly recommend him to anyone, especially if it's your first wedding and you're worried about your nerves. Chase is a real pro who I can't recommend enough. Thank you Chase for being such a great help to make one of the center points of our wedding classy, elegant and wonderful!

Aaron was amazing to work with! He allowed us to make our ceremony our own and unique to us. He also walked us through the marriage license and name change process step by step. I would absolutely recommend Columbus Wedding Officiants!

Extremely professional, calm personality and kept everyones attention during the ceremony. He gave us plenty of options for our vows. Great information for obtaining licenses, registered copies and information on changing name. We highly recommend Chase.
