John Johnson
Ordained Minister in Staples, Minnesota
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
I became an ordained minister because I wanted to help couples celebrate one of the most meaningful moments of their lives. That passion eventually led me to create Timeless Tributes LLC, where I provide personalized wedding ceremonies that reflect each couple’s relationship, values, beliefs, and vision for their wedding day.
Where are you from?
I am based in Staples, Minnesota, and serve couples throughout Central and Northern Minnesota.
Religious Affiliations
Lutheranism
Additional Information
My personal faith background is Lutheran, but I warmly welcome couples of all backgrounds, beliefs, and traditions. I am comfortable creating religious, spiritual, interfaith, and non-religious ceremonies. My focus is on respecting each couple’s beliefs and creating a ceremony that authentically reflects what is meaningful to them.
What do you think makes your ceremonies special as a Staples, MN wedding officiant?
I believe every couple deserves a ceremony that feels like it was created specifically for them. I take the time to learn about each couple’s relationship, personalities, values, and vision, then thoughtfully create a ceremony that reflects their unique story. My goal is for every ceremony to feel personal, genuine, meaningful, and comfortable for the couple and their guests.
Are there particular areas near you where you prefer to travel or have special experience?
I am based in Staples, Minnesota, and primarily serve couples throughout Central and Northern Minnesota. Travel within 60 miles each way from Staples is included with my ceremony services. I am happy to travel beyond that area for weddings, with additional mileage charges applying when appropriate.
