Best officiant we could have asked for

Sam was wonderful as the officiant for our marriage. He is the nicest man you could ever meet. He was very responsive to questions prior to the event, and even met with us personally a few weeks before to discuss the schedule and speech. I highly, highly recommend him and his services.

Made our day

We decided to elope. Sam helped us plan the ceremony and helped us find a location. A few days prior to our big day, a hurricane hit the location. Sam helped us find a new place the night before our ceremony. It was a wonderful gazebo overlooking a pond with lily pads. We couldn't ask for a better backdrop.

Delightful

It was so easy to get in touch with Sam and he was very prompt with replies. He showed up a little early for the ceremony and was very friendly. He never made us feel rushed for anything and the words he used for our ceremony were absolutely precious. We loved receiving a copy of the vows as well as the keepsake marriage certificate. I would totally recommend him to anyone!

Excellence in all categories!!

Sam was exceptional. He came recommended by another notary for our end of October wedding and I can tell you without a doubt, that I am eternally grateful the universe gave us Sam. Professional, empathetic, thoughtful and punctual! He can work with what your planning or give you a great material to work with like he did with me and my wife. I cannot even begin to describe how good this person is at what he does. If you are looking for someone to be your officiant this is the person to do it, through and through.
