    Lovely ceremony and stress-free preparation

    Valerie was so lovely when she officiated our wedding. She went out of her way to make sure our ceremony was exactly as we wanted, and she handled as many of the details as possible. Everyone loved her, and you will too.

    Amazing officiant

    Valerie is a fantastic officiant. She helped us make our ceremony really special, heartfelt, and joyful. She also provided all the information we needed regarding obtaining our license and the other technical details of getting married. 10/10 do recommend!

    Florida Wedding Officiant's reply:

    Thank you Nicole for the great review. It was a pleasure and my honor to be your Officiant. Happy Thanksgiving!

    Beautiful ceremony

    We found Valerie through her rave reviews on The Knot. We reached out via email and received a response a few minutes later. That same week, we set up a virtual meeting to get to know Valerie a bit and see if she was a good fit for us as our officiant. My wife and I hung up on that call and immediately knew Valerie was the one. She was kind, respectful, and helpful, working with us to perfect our ceremony script and bring our vision to life. Valerie’s ceremony was beautiful–her words are emotional, compassionate, and included some humor as we had requested. We had many of our guests approach us during cocktail hour saying how great the officiant was and that the ceremony was beautiful. Valerie is a true professional and it was a pleasure to have her as our officiant.

    Florida Wedding Officiant's reply:

    Thank you so much for wonderful review. It was my honor to be there with you on your special day. All the best to you both!

    So fantastic

    From the video interview until the time we said I do, I can not speak anymore highly of her. She customized our wedding to fit us. She spoke so we could hear and cracked small jokes that were amazing. She explained the process perfectly so we were prepared. I'm just so so pleased to have hired her to marry us.

    Florida Wedding Officiant's reply:

    Thank you Natashia, for the lovely review. It was my great honor to beyour officiant. All the best for your future! Valerie

    Just what we needed!

    Valerie was such a calming presence while walking down the aisle, and brought some humor to the ceremony as well! Was 100% on board to customize our ceremony in any way we liked, and was punctual as promised. Would recommend with no reservations!

    Florida Wedding Officiant's reply:

    Thank you so much Stephanie, it was an my honor. Such a lovely wedding at the Maitland Art museum, and a lovely couple.

    Such an amazing woman

    I can not say enough about how amazing Valerie is. She is just absolutely a wonderful person and cared so deeply for our ceremony, that it made all the difference. She kept everyone’s attention through the design of her ceremony, inserting comments that made our guests laugh and put us at ease. Everyone was raving about how amazing she was, so many guests made mention on just how lovely she was. Thanks Valerie for a memorable and special ceremony.

    Florida Wedding Officiant's reply:

    Hi Gracen, thank you so much for the lovely review. I enjoyed meeting your family and friends. I hope for many years of happiness for the two of you xx

    The sweetest and most wonderful officiant

    Valerie is the best wedding officiant I could ask for. She was so kind and did everything to make us feel comfortable and she also came to our rehearsal to help us as she used to be a wedding planner and we didn’t have one. Without her my ceremony would not have run as smoothly and wonderfully as it did! My husband and I just adored her.

    Florida Wedding Officiant's reply:

    Ahh Tracy, how thoughtful of you to give such a lovely review. Thank you. I loved getting to meet your family, they are so sweet. Enjoy your honeymoon.

    Valerie is amazing

    We had a destination wedding in Sanford, FL and Valerie was amazing through the process. She always kept in touch and the process was so much smoother with her. Our bridal party was not able to make it the day of the rehearsal so the day of the wedding, she was such a big help with making sure everyone was where they needed to be.

    Florida Wedding Officiant's reply:

    Darian, thank you so much for your kind words. Happy new Year to you both. It was my honor to be your officiant.

    Highly recommend!! We can't thank you enough, Valerie!

    My husband Rich and I could not say enough wonderful things about our officiant, Valerie. Having a destination wedding, finding vendors can be a bit tedious or worrisome, but when we contacted Valerie, and had a Skype call with her (we live in New York) - we immediately knew she was going to be the one to be our officiant. She really wanted to get to know who WE were and what we wanted our ceremony to be. She ended up being the only one we contacted, because we were that sure of our choice. Valerie is kind, funny, and wanted to be sure that she addressed any concern that we had so that our ceremony could be exactly what we wanted. By the end of our call, it was like she was like a good friend to us. She also made sure to let us know that if there was ANYTHING we needed changed, that she had no problem revising the ceremony for us.

    She kept in contact with us all throughout the process and was extremely quick to respond. Valerie even checked with us a month out to be sure no changes were needed and so that she could make sure she was prepared for the wedding date. The day of the rehearsal, Valerie was prompt and was ready to go when we got there. She even beat us to the rehearsal location! We went through all our cues with her and Kristie (our wedding planner) and we were extremely confident when we left. The day of the wedding, the ceremony she performed was AMAZING and we loved the Apache blessing! Both of our families keep telling us how perfect the ceremony was, and we can’t wait until we get our wedding video back so we can see it from an outsider perspective.

    We had our wedding at the Wedding Pavilion on 12.12.18 in Walt Disney World and Valerie made sure that our ceremony exactly how we wanted - full of Disney magic! We can’t thank you enough, Valerie, and to anyone who is looking for a wedding officiant in the Orlando area we would recommend Valerie a million times over! (Also posted on The Knot :D)

    Jennifer and Rich, it was my honor. I am so happy your special day has such great memories for you. Thank you for the lovely review. Valerie

    Amazing Officiant

    Valerie was wonderful! She met with us a few months prior to our wedding and got a feel for what we wanted so our day would be perfect! When the day of the wedding came she was absolutely perfect, the ceremony was the perfect length of time and she kept it light and enjoyable while still sentimental where it counted. She also made everything so easy, she sent off all of the paperwork for us so that we didn't have to worry about it. I had several guests say how much they enjoyed the ceremony and that she was great! We loved Valerie and are so happy we hose her!

    Florida Wedding Officiant's reply:

    Thank you Shannon for the great review. It was my pleasure and honor. Happy Thanksgiving and love to the family!

    Amazing officiant

    Valerie is wonderful! She made our wedding extra special and she felt like part of the family, not just an officiant. My husband and I both felt at ease with her and she made the whole process of planning our ceremony very easy. Do not hesitate to make her a part of your special day!

    Loved our ceremony

    We choose Valerie for our wedding at Walt Disney World. We felt so comfortable talking to her on our first contact over Skype that we didn't even look at any other officiants. She was so lovely and made the planning so easy and stressful and made us feel relaxed on the day itself. We couldn't have been happier with how our ceremony went. And our families commented on how they loved her too.

    Florida Wedding Officiant's reply:

    Hi Emma and Chris, Thank you so much for the lovely review, so happy you chose me to officiate. Valerie

    So happy we chose Valerie. Every step of the way she was there to help. Valerie took the time to get to know us as a couple and preformed a wonderful service that the entire family was happy with. We know who we will be calling for the vowel renewal should we choose to have one!

    Valerie was the perfect person to officiate our wedding. From our initial conversation, we loved Valerie's enthusiasm and personality and decided straight away that she was the officiante we wanted! Valerie was very prompt when answering emails, which was helpful when planning a wedding from the UK. She was fantastic with our two children and took care to involve them in every part of the ceremony. She made our wedding day so special and the ceremony was personal to us as a family, as well as being full of memorable moments. We are so glad we chose Valerie, it was the best decision we made when it came to planning our wedding and we couldn't have chosen anyone better!!

    Valerie was the perfect choice! She felt like part of the family. She put together and performed the most beautiful and sentimental wedding ceremony for us that we will cherish forever. I would not hesitate for one second to ask Valerie again if she would perform any future ceremonies for us like a vow renewal.

    Valerie was an excellent Officiant from start to finish. She was incredibly informative, responsive and flexible throughout the process. We are from the UK and Valerie helped guide us through the extra steps that we had to take to obtain our marriage licence. She answered our many questions promptly, and helped us coordinate our ceremony from start to finish, providing helpful suggestions and ideas along the way. Valerie provided a personal touch for our wedding, and even managed to incorporate a reference to our much loved dog 'Colin Bear' into our ceremony! Valerie has a lovely bubbly and kind personality which we fell in love with. We cannot recommend her enough! Thanks again Valerie, Faye and Nath.

    Valerie was absolutely amazing to work with. We had looked at so many officiants before deciding to go with Valerie and we couldn't be happier with our decision. She is so warm and welcoming. You can feel her beautiful heart the first time you speak with her. She took the time to learn about us as a couple and even let us make changes to the ceremony so that it fit us better as a couple. She was there to answer any questions we had and, in my option, went above and beyond to include our 4 year old daughter. She even had her sign our marriage license! We had a change in our venue at the last minute due to rain and Valerie was there waiting for us at our new venue. I honestly cannot recommend Valerie enough. She is warm, kind, funny, and made us feel completely at ease.

    We were looking for a very relaxing and laid back experience where we could just have fun and enjoy the moment. Valerie was able to keep it light and relaxing and we never felt any of the normal anxiety or stress of a wedding ceremony. We couldn’t have asked for anything more.

    Valerie made our wedding ceremony so special with her warmth and personal touch. Leading up to the big day, we had a video session and the opportunity to read and refine her reading. She was so great about helping us through the marriage license process and even offered to have it shipped to her so she could bring it to the ceremony for us since we were traveling from out of state. We had so many compliments from our guests on Valeries service and we can't thank her enough for making our big day one we'll never forget.

    Florida Wedding Officiant's reply:

    Thank you Alex, it was my pleasure and honor to be your officiant.
