Amazing experience!

Rev. Annika was very responsive and easy to work with during the preparation process, and had a variety of ideas & recommendations based on her experience officiating. And during the ceremony, she was a calm and steady presence (even in the midst of inclement weather moving our ceremony inside, and a couple of loud children). So glad that we hired her for our wedding!

Heartfelt Ceremony Crafted with Care by Rev. Annika

Rev. Annika was absolutely wonderful and played such an important role in making our wedding ceremony deeply personal and meaningful. From our first meeting, she offered incredible support as we crafted our ceremony, taking the time to understand our story and values. Her warm and thoughtful approach helped us create a ceremony that truly reflected who we are as a couple.

Rev. Annika guided us through the process with kindness and expertise, making sure every detail was perfect. She provided insightful suggestions and was always open to our ideas, ensuring that our ceremony was uniquely ours. She also offered invaluable support in getting our marriage license and handling all the details of filing it, which made the entire process seamless and stress-free.

On the day of the wedding, her calm presence and heartfelt words set the perfect tone, creating a beautiful and memorable experience for us and our guests. We received so many compliments on how touching and unique our ceremony was, and we owe that to Rev. Annika.

We couldn’t have asked for a better person to marry us, and we are so grateful for her dedication and care. If you’re looking for an officiant who will help you create a ceremony that is both personal and meaningful, Rev. Annika is the one!
