James,
Kyle and I want to thank you for the
wonderful job you did on our ceremony, it was easy going but
remained meaningful, it was just what we wanted it to be.
You made the entire planning process fun and easy. We love
that we could pick out our vows and readings that we wanted,
it made the ceremony more personal for us. We want to thank
you for joining us for the rehearsal it made me more relaxed
to have a run through with you there. Thank you again for
everything. You made our wedding even more memorable for us.

Thank you very much for the outstanding job
you did in performing our ceremony. You were both
professional and funny while making everyone feel at ease.
Thank you for your flexibility in allowing us to pull
together a beautiful ceremony that was uniquely ours and for
the creative elements you added to enhance its meaning!
Should you ever have anyone ask you for references again,
we'd be more than happy to give you a glowing reference!
Thank you for making our wedding so special, a memory we
will cherish forever.

Dear James,
We just wanted to send you a quick email, because we are
so grateful for you.
We were both quite nervous, and very overwhelmed, but it
seemed that as soon as you started talking, you literally
took the weight off our shoulders and made it possibly for
us to enjoy our wedding ceremony! We cannot thank you
enough, for the beautiful ceremony, and very well spoken
words and the thought that you put into our day.
We were winding down last night, saying goodnight to each
other, and discussing what a day we had, and Scotty said
that he was so glad we decided to have our wedding the way
we did, because you are such a great guy. He said he had to
look at you a lot to avoid tearing up, which I figured...haha.
I said to him, I wish James was a friend of ours, because he
would be a great guy to spend time with! :) Anyway, thank
you from the bottom of our hearts, and we hope that one day
our paths will cross again.
Sincerely,
Scotty and Jennifer June, Dresden September 15,2007

You made our day! Thank you for the very warm you handles
things. We have had numerous comments on your wonderful
manner! You were made for this "job". Thank you, Thank you.

Dear Mr. Mac Neil
We wanted to say thank you so much for letting us have
the extra touch to our wedding by having a minister as
wonderful as you. The way you expressed yourself and allowed
us to express ourselves was remarkable. We are very happy
that we chose you, and then in turn we got the Duchess, that
just made the magic of the day. Thank you so much, God
Bless.

Hello. My name is Keith Dawson. I was the D.J at this
wedding this past Sat. I must say it was a pleasure
listening to James .I've done lots and lots of weddings and
by far I enjoyed this one. Keep up the good work and in my
travel's if anyone needs a Officiant I will surely recommend
James.

Hi Todd,
Thank you so much for a beautiful day! It was
absolutely perfect and we wouldn't change a thing. YOU
are the best. You made our day so special and the
service was sooooo beautiful.
As for the video...don't worry about it. Arthur and I
agree that you probably feel worse about it than we
do...and to tell you the truth, we don't feel bad about
it. We will never forget the beautiful ceremony. And
the emotions attached are what matter the most. We will
never forget (unless we get Alzheimer's much later in
life LOL)
You will always have a very special place in our
hearts. We can't even express how thankful we are to
have someone as attentive and considerate for our
wedding day. You said it was the first wedding you
performed, well, you were a pro! Wow!
Love,
Arthur & Maria (July 7, 2007)

Hello! How are you
doing? I just wanted to let you know how many
complements I received on the ceremony. Everyone loved
the content and how you made it so personal, Scott and I
included of course! It was a perfect ceremony and I
loved it. Thank you for that! Thank you for everything
and I will send a couple of pictures when I get them!
Thanks in advance,

I absolutely had to
include a testimonial on this website. A year ago, I
sent an email to Kettle Creek Weddings with a subject
line that read "bizarre wedding wish". It was our wish
to surprise our guests (my parents included, even though
the wedding was to take place at their home). We wanted
to be married by Santa on Xmas eve. The plan was, Santa
was to arrive at around 9:30 pm with a bag of goodies to
be handed out to all the kids (and there were many
kids ! ). While this was happening, we were to sneak
off to change and come back out dressed in full wedding
gear to be married by Santa Clause. James MacNeil was
kind and fun enough to accept. Our guests are still
stunned and it made for the most incredible wedding and
Christmas we could have wished for. What a surprise !
Thank you James for being our Santa - for creating a
beautiful wedding ceremony. Thank you Leanne for
giving up your husband on Christmas Eve. Giving us this
wish, and making it all happen on Christmas Eve will
never be forgotten. We will forever be grateful.

Hello James,
I just wanted to thank you again for
doing such a wonderful job with our ceremony! It was
perfect! Adam and I are so happy with the way it all
turned out. Everyone in attendance thought you were
great and that we couldn’t have had a better person
marrying us. Adam and I couldn’t agree more. I can
guarantee any time I hear of someone planning to a
wedding I will tell them to call you and Lee-Ann first!
Thank you again for making our special day even more
special.
Bye for now and i wish nothing but the
best for you and your family!
Candace & Adam, September 9, 2006
He was great, very friendly and helpful. We did the sand
ceremony at ours and everyone absolutely love it!! We loved
the way he included my son in the ceremony and it made him
feel important too!! I have told all my friends who are not
married to go to this web site because of James and his
friendly mannerism!!!
Lisa & Shaun, October 21, 2006
Dear
James,
Your
extra time and attention is greatly appreciated. We are
very pleased to have chosen you to officially begin our
beautiful journey. Thank you so much for making our

Dear James,
Just a short note today to thank you again for
helping Mark and I to make our wedding day exactly
the way we wanted it to be. Despite all the last
minute rearranging, the ceremony and the rest of the
evening as well went off without a hitch. I don’t
know how you managed to keep everything straight,
performing four weddings in one day, but we’re so
glad you were able to be here and share ours with
us. It was perfect!. Thanks again and all our best.
Andrea & Mark, September 9, 2006
James,
Thank
you so much for making our wedding dreams come true. The
ceremony was personal and relaxed. Thanks for being so
accommodating with the location and the weather.
Krista
& Corey Crow, September 2, 2006
James,
So
many people say you have to prepare to have some
small disappointments on your wedding day, but our
day was everything I'd dreamed of and then some, and
that is in large part thanks to you! From our
very first meeting on, we knew we'd never find
someone better to be our Officiant. Everything about
it was perfect - the vows and readings, the rose
exchange ceremony, and your own heartfelt words.
The laughs, the tears - we're so glad you were able
to be part of it all!
Robyn & Mike - June 17, 2006
We met James at a bridal show that
Rand's daughter was modeling in. We had decided the
week before that we wanted to get married, Thanksgiving
weekend-yes, in 3 weeks. James was enthusiastic yet
unruffled- just like us. We had both been married
before and had very specific ideas about what was important
to us. James appreciated our ideas and provided
positive feedback. Our ceremony was relaxed, full of
laughter and it felt like James had known us as a friend,
not someone who we had met just 3 weeks prior. Our
guests complimented us repeatedly.
Thank you James!!

We found Jim to be very
helpful with explaining the procedures, etc. He is a very
personable person and we enjoyed talking to him. He did a
fantastic job and made our day that much happier.

I am not one to go back
and make comments, but James did such a wonderful job. We
were very comfortable with him it was amazing.
Thank you

James.
Many gracious thanks to
you for performing our marriage ceremony. You made
everything seem so effortless and your guidance was
appreciated. Many of our guests commented on your “4
Pillars” section of the ceremony and how true and touching
it is.
Thanks again for everything! Best wishes.
Jyl & Gary, May 14, 2005
James.
Thank you for all your
kindness, wisdom and support. You truly made choosing
our wedding ceremony an amazing experience. We will always
remember you as being part of our special day!
