About
Wedding Ceremonies that are beautiful, meaningful, spiritual or Unique. Your wedding day should reflect your style and personality in every way, so should the words of your ceremony and vows. I perform weddings all over the Northwest, 7 days a week. I make the couple feel comfortable and relaxed with my friendly yet professional personality. Give me a call for availability. Reserving 6-12 months in advance is recommended but often I can  accomodate short notice also.

Beverly Mason of The Radian Touch has performed many wonderful ceremonies at Abernethy Center. Our staff and clients regularly comment on how woderful Beverly is to work with. It is a joy having her at our facility and we look forward to seeing her always.
THE NAME IS THE PERFECT WAY TO DISCRIBE THEY'RE SERVICES "RADIANT". I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM. FRANKEE B / B-A-M DJ SERVICES
Beverly is a great choice for an officiant at a wedding. Her ceremonies seem 'real' and from the heart not just some canned, memorized speech that she has given a thousand times. All of our brides and grooms mention how pleased they were with the ceremony. Thanks Bev, keep up the good work!
When it comes to officiants, Bev is the top of the tree. Having worked with many different officiants over the years she clearly stands out for her presentation, professionalism, and ability to adapt to any occasion...
If getting the ceremony right is important to you, choose The Radiant Touch. Set the tone for the entire day. Thoughtful and warm ceremonies designed for your specific needs.
The Radiant Touch and Rev. Beverly Mason recently did a wedding for me in which she went over and beyond her duties. Not only did she create a personalized ceremony with the bride and groom, even going as far as giving them a beautifully printed version of the ceremony outline for them to keep. She ran the rehearsal smoothly, overcoming the 30 MPH winds that were taking over the evening. During the wedding day, she took professional pictures of the bride getting ready and of the after party. She has since worked on these pictures for hours on end to send to the bride and groom as a momento of all the candid and precious moments of their day together. Many people commented to me at the wedding at what a beautiful ceremony she performed and how lovely and caring she is. I look forward to doing more wedding with Beverly, in any state she chooses!
NOW... this is an OFFICIANT ! An officiate that I would hire for my wedding if I wasn't already married. As a professional wedding photographer and DJ myself I see many, and few, save one or two, even come close to BEV ! IS there are better word than endorse... if there is I give it :O)
Absolutely wonderful service! Bev gives every event her best and it shows. Her professionalism and character are such a pleasure to work with. She combines ceremonies and photography in some of the most amazing packages. If you are looking for a ceremony location, make sure you ask her for the Enchanted Wedding Package! She is the top of my referral list!
