A wonderful wedding!

Karen Younus was my husband's and I's officiant for the big day. It was such a joyful experience. We both were so nervous and frazzled from the day that it was nice to have such a thoughtful and calm ceremony to round out and wind down the day. The detail and care that was given is truly something we will cherish for the rest of our lives. Thank you again so much!

Book Michelle!

Michelle was amazing. I had one meeting with her and it was so easy going. She asked all the right questions about us individually and together. She kept up communication throughout the entire process. The ceremony she gave was beautiful and fit us perfectly. We were able to choose short ring and vow readings which was great because we did not want to say a lot in front of people. She made it thoughtful, personal and threw in some things to get laughs. I highly recommend her!

Megan was incredible!

Recently married in January and had the pleasure of having Megan Korczynski as our officiant. I could not say enough good things about our experience! She was beyond kind, professional yet personable and so thoughtful with her words! Megan took the time to get to know us as a couple and used what she learned to make the most memorable vows. Highly highly recommend Megan if you’re looking for an officiant for your special day!

Megan was amazing!

Megan truly made our ceremony such a beautiful and personalized experience! She took the time to meet with us beforehand and gather details on our history - details that were expertly placed into the ceremony speech, including some that I was surprised she was able to work in so naturally! She was super friendly, outgoing, and professional before and during the wedding. Highly recommend!!

Thank you Michelle

We are so grateful to have had Michelle as our officiant! She brought such warmth, joy, and energy to our ceremony, and truly helped set the tone for a day we’ll never forget. Michelle made us feel comfortable and kept the atmosphere lighthearted, which allowed us to be fully present in the moment.

From start to finish, she was kind, professional, and a pleasure to work with. Our guests really enjoyed the ceremony, and we felt so supported having her guide us through it. We would absolutely recommend Michelle to any couple looking for an officiant who can bring heart and positivity to their wedding day.

Just amazing.

Michelle was an amazing officiant and I am so thankful that she was part of our amazing day. Her attention to detail during our ceremony, ensuring she incorporated little parts of our life in it, was beautiful. I would recommend her as a wedding officiant 10 time over!

Highly Flexible, Highly Personal

My partner and I had Megan as our officiant, and she did a fantastic job. From the first conversation, which was oriented around getting to know us, through all of the stages of planning, Megan wanted this ceremony to be ours. She had plenty of suggested wordings for different parts of the wedding, but was even more excited when we decided to write our own wordings and take ownership of the ceremony.

Working with Megan was an absolute pleasure - she was always available to discuss specifics and even reviewed my vows privately to provide some feedback and alleviate nerves. Absolutely recommend YellowBird's team.

Megan was wonderful!

We absolutely loved having Megan as our wedding officiant! She was amazing—so well-spoken, personable, and made our ceremony feel truly special and authentic to us. From the very first conversation, she made us feel comfortable and confident that everything would go smoothly (and it did!). Our guests even commented on how beautifully she delivered the ceremony. We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant!
