Amazing experience!

Sophie exceeded all of our expectations for our intimate ceremony. Her words were beautiful and she was very accommodating for our personal vows. It was an emotional experience that made the moment so special. We cannot say enough wonderful things about working with her. Truly the best!
Dan’s pictures were so good! He really did a great job capturing the moments!

Perfect Beach Wedding

Sophie was very professional throughout the entire process. She allowed us to select from a few different ceremonies already prepared but gave us the opportunity to add or alter them to our liking.
She was awesome to communicate with, showed up on time and officiated a wonderful program.

A special soul

Sophie met with us the day before the ceremony and got to know each other which was important in order to marry us. she was very accommodating, she also recommended Nancy who did a beautiful job photographing our wedding. So very reasonable and made us feel very much at ease and comfortable. Both very relatable and genuinely kind. God Blessed us on our day. Loved every minute of it.

Very professional and courteous minister

Rev. Sophie performed a perfect service for us on a hot sunny afternoon in Florida. She was very accommodating with timing, sermon content, setting expectations, and the wedding ceremony itself. I highly recommend her for any wedding, except Jewish or Catholic of course! Sophie is a very nice lady and easy to work with.

Vow renewal

Rev. Sofie is amazing! She performed our marriage ceremony on the beach 10 years ago and then our vow renewal last month. It rained all afternoon the day of the vow renewal she tried to wait it out with us but when it didn't stop she helped us find a pavilion with beach in the background. She made sure everything was what we wanted for the ceremony! Such as sweet lady!!
