About Clint Hufft: Rev. Clint is a well–known and respected personality in the Wedding Industry. Reverend Clint Hufft began officiating wedding ceremonies in 1995. Each ceremony is unique because the couple is "hands on" during the entire ceremony creation process. Every detail connected to the ceremony is addressed. As a Non-Denominational Officiant, Rev. Clint has been blessed to marry hundreds of couples from all over the world. The variety of backgrounds, traditions, cultures and Spiritual beliefs is astounding. No matter what the ceremony contains, the true magic is in the eyes of each couple as they pledge their love and commitment to each other.

He's written three wedding books including the best-selling, "How To Officiate a Non-Denominational Wedding Ceremony." He is also a corporate communications coach and trainer. In this episode, Jamie, Heather, JP and Clint discuss: What wedding planners do that make officiant's jobs harder and what they can do to make it easier The more important things to consider when it comes to wedding planning How you should treat your team Some tips that veteran officiants could give to their younger selves Key Takeaways: Acknowledge that you are a part of the team The bottom line is making the couple’s dream celebration come true Even the perfect picture or perfect set-up can bring back the worst memories - focus on making the couple and guest’s experience more Always consider the well-being of your team just as much as the event itself "Your preconceived notions of what a wedding is supposed to be… isn’t going to be true 50% of the time. Every single ceremony is it’s own beast" — Clint Hufft
