Brooke is Top Tier!

Brooke is awesome. We were amazed by her professionalism and dedication to our ceremony. We met only once over a video call and then showed up on the wedding day. She prepared a wonderful elopement style ceremony for us and spoke eloquently and with kindness in her voice. She was responsive and always reachable. She also handled the signing of the certificates smoothly. She kept the communication clear and flowing about writing our vows and other things needed from us. We highly recommend Brooke as a wedding officiant.

Wonderful experience

Brooke’s ceremony was beautiful and super thoughtful. We’re from out of state, but planning was a breeze and she was super receptive and flexible to some unique aspects we wanted included in our wedding. Helping us with the marriage license was a huge plus as well since it was one less thing on our plate. Overall, we’d highly recommend!

Working with Brooke was great! She was thoughtful in her communication and elegant in her delivery during the actual ceremony. So much so that she seemed like a friend of the wedding couple. An excellent choice.
