    Anissa is the best!

    Anissa was incredible - so personable and caring! She met with us to get to know us so the wedding was as personalized as possible. The thoughtfulness and overall experience with her was just wonderful. We could not have asked more from Anissa and would recommend her for anyone tying the knot!

    Gracefully Wed's reply:

    Anissa is the best!

    On our first call with Anissa, she immediately put us both at ease. We felt like she already got us. We met up and there was no mistaking she was who was meant to officiate our wedding. She worked with us to get the perfect script written and asked for our feedback along the way. She helped us with our vows and made the perfect ceremony come to life. She did a great job of having the attention on us and our words to each other which coaching us along the way. I can't imagine our day with anyone else standing up there with us that day. Thank you Anissa!

    Gracefully Perfect

    The company name says it all. Anissa officiated my daughter's wedding with only two days notice. A couple of phone calls and e-mails where she asked the right questions, and she came up with the perfect wedding script. I wonder if she'd had more time, she would have had us all in tears - the bride and groom were. The ceremony was elegant, perfectly written, well paced, and heart-felt. Thank you Anissa.

    Absolutely Amazing!

    Anissa from Gracefully Wed Events was amazing in every way! From the first moment my now wife and I met Anissa, we were compelled by her and her graceful and confident manner. She was incredible throughout the entire wedding process and helped from start to finish in so many ways. She met with my wife and I before the wedding in order to make our ceremony reading more about us than just a general reading. She even coordinated with our musician, photographer, videographer, and event coordinator from the hotel in order to help make the wedding flow. I would highly recommend Anissa to anyone and everyone who is getting married. She was one of the first people we hired for our wedding and we would hire her again without pause. Anissa, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

    Gift from God

    Anissa was absolutely incredible from our first contact with her to the day of the wedding.
    We had a few problems with our original officiant, and Anissa was able to not only accommodate us to her schedule but also to create a beautiful script that matched perfectly our history and style in a very short period of time.
    First we had a meeting where she asked some questions about how we met, what we loved about each other, etc. She then took her time to include some of those answers in the script making it very personalized and special to us.
    She helped me to write my vows to my stepchildren, and included them in our ceremony in a way that they felt important and part of our celebration.
    She was also punctual, kind, and spoke incredibly well.
    I will be forever thankful for this gift of God for putting her in our lives. Our ceremony wouldn’t be the same if we haven’t found her.
    Thank you for making our day even more special, Anissa! We will remember you forever.

    Priscila & Brad

    Gracefully Wed's reply:

    Oh my goodness, thank you so much for your sweet sweet words, they mean soooo much to me! It was such a great joy to be a part of this incredibly special day in your lives and I wish you both, and your beautiful new family, all the very best!

    Amazing experience with Anissa!

    We are so happy we hired Anissa to officiate our wedding! My husband and I wanted to find someone who would make our ceremony feel personal to who we are. From the moment I spoke with Anissa, I knew she would have our best interest in mind and make this the special moment we've been dreaming of. She took the time to meet with both of us, and was flexible to do video calls since we are from out of town. She wrote a beautiful ceremony and involved us in the process to make sure it incorporated everything we wanted. Anissa was also really helpful when it came to writing our vows- she offered advice that helped us get started and reviewed them the week before our wedding. She made sure we didn't have to worry about a thing on the day of- she ran a great rehearsal, and on the day of she had our vows and all the readings printed out. Anissa has such a calming presence and made us feel calm and live in the moment- we are so grateful!

    Five Stars

    Anissa was such a key and wonderful part of our wedding. It was so easy for us to quickly get to know and love her! She truly has a grace about her. Her words are beautiful (and so is she!!) She was well articulated and professional. She was accommodating to all of our wishes and knew exactly how to put together what we wanted to say to each other in front of our loved ones in such a beautiful way. I would recommend her for anyone’s special day!!!

    Made this day amazing

    It took us a long time to find the right person to handle our wedding ceremony. We’ve reached out to different officiants but as soon as Anissa picked up the phone we realized that that is who we are looking for ! She was extremely polite and answered the whole ton of questions we had. The ceremony was super touchy and emotional thanks to Anissa! Furthermore, we didn’t even expect to get a customized marriage certificate (besides the real one that she filled out) she did herself for our couple ! Many thanks to Anissa again for being with us on such a special occasion !

    Hired an officiant, left with a wonderful friend! She is phenomenal!

    Anissa was absolutely phenomenal to work with from start to finish! From our very first introductory phone call, I felt instantly at ease with Anissa, and by the time she was standing next to us at our wedding, she truly felt like an old friend. Even if she tried, Anissa could not be more warm, gracious, engaging and professional! She is an absolute precious gem and we felt beyond lucky that we found her, I can't imagine having had anyone else there beside us.

    One of the best things about Anissa's approach is the time and care she takes in getting to know you. My husband and I had a long phone call with Anissa where she asked lots of questions about us as a couple and we were able to share stories about our relationship with her. This allowed her to craft a wedding ceremony that was personal and meaningful to us. There was nothing at all generic about our ceremony. And she was the consummate professional, when we asked for a few changes to her first draft of our ceremony, she was entirely gracious and accommodating, never making us feel awkward about anything! Her goal was very clearly for us to have a ceremony that was perfect for us. And that is exactly what we got - an absolutely beautiful, touching, and personal story of us. So don't hesitate in the slightest to make adjustments until your ceremony is perfect for you, without a doubt that's what Anissa would want.

    On the day of our wedding Anissa made sure to come and meet me in person ahead of the ceremony, greeting me with a hug. I immediately felt so comfortable and at east - she felt like an old friend. While we were standing with her saying our vows, she was a comforting and calming presence by my side. Furthermore, our guests just loved her and enjoyed engaging with her as well!

    Another key piece of information is that Anissa reviewed the personal vows we wrote to one another - to help us make sure that our length and tone were complementary. And then she printed out our vows so we didn't have to. Anissa also printed out a beautiful copy of the ceremony so we could have it as a keepsake.

    By the time we said goodbye, Anissa felt like a true kindred spirit! You are the absolute best Anissa, we are so grateful to have shared our dream of a day with you!

    Anissa is amazing!

    My husband and I were extremely fortunate to have Anissa officiate our wedding. A dear friend of my Aunt, we fell in love with her immediately. She created a beautifully crafted, custom script for my husband and I which summed up our relationship and story perfectly. We had a very intimate ceremony at the Battery with our loved ones and she helped to create and deliver our vision. She was so helpful throughout the process and even recommended other vendors. But the one thing I'll always remember and appreciate was during our ceremony right after our vows were spoken, with tears rolling down our faces, and the excitement of finally becoming man and wife- I went to put the ring on my husband's finger and was in a semi- outer body state when Anissa whispered to me which hand was his left hand. It seems simple- but it was so much more. Anissa is thoughtful and intentional with everything she does and it truly makes a difference. Thank you Anissa! You are such a beautiful soul and we are so thankful to have had you officiate our wedding.
    With Love,
    The Heatons

    The perfect ceremony!

    Anissa is my first review to write after getting married, and rightfully so! The ceremony was incredibly important to me and I wanted to find a officiant that understood who we are as a couple and custom write a ceremony for us. From the first moment of speaking to Anissa I knew she was our gal- kindhearted, warm and understanding. She knew exactly what questions to ask my now husband and how to involve him in a way that made him comfortable and she got all the details that were important to me. She also ran our rehearsal the day before and made sure that everyone was comfortable and happy. Anissa took the time driving to our venue and waiting for all of us to arrive (in afternoon traffic and with delay) and then even offered to take my in-laws back to town as their Uber did not arrive in time. That is just exactly who she is as a person- loving and kind. The ceremony she wrote for us was perfection, and it was my favorite part of our wedding! Anissa gave us a little folder with the printed out version of our ceremony and the poems that we used - which is such a sweet sentiment for us to have! Thank you so much for making our ceremony dreams come true! For all the couples that are yet to get married - do not look any further, Anissa is the best out there! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

    I cannot say enough good things about Anissa. It was such a pleasure working with her. The ceremony was everything that we hoped for and more. We were running a bit late and she patiently waited for us to get there. Thanks again for everything. I would definitely recommend her if you are in the market for a wedding officiant. Great person to work with!

    Anissa was absolutely incredible. My partner and I live an ocean apart at the moment, and to pull everything together and so beautifully and smoothly was just wonderful. Anissa is fantastic at coming up with a heartfelt, personal, and beautiful ceremony, is super helpful and accommodating (especially with the issues of distance, time zones etc.), and an all around lovely person. Our wedding was perfect for us...small and intimate, and very personal. I would really like to say a huge thank you to both Anissa, and her photographer Micheline for everything that they have done. We're a very happy pair of wives! :)

    Anissa was so delightful. She was always kind and smiling despite the wind trying to blow us all away. She communicated with me really well as the day of coordinator ensuring I was okay with any necessary changes and making suggestions for how to handle the wind. It was so nice to be able to relax knowing she has it under control.

    We are exceptionally satisfied with our service from Gracefully Small Weddings. Anissa is very professional, informative, easy-going, helpful, & everything in between. We could not have imagined a better ceremony, especially with short notice. It was very clear to us that she loves her work. We are not from the South Carolina area (or even the South!) but Anissa was very helpful in suggesting local places to try or which beach would be the best for our ceremony. We recommend Anissa to anyone & everyone.

    Anissa at Gracefully Small Weddings was absolutely PHENOMENAL! From the first moment of contact with her, we felt so special--she was kind, considerate, and sincere. She suggested several excellent vendors and made sure to walk us through every step of our elopement plan in Charleston, SC. She called, texted, emailed and ensured that we had THE most perfect ceremony (I cried like a baby when I read the vows she wrote for us). Anissa made our wedding day memorable and the most special day of our lives. We HIGHLY recommend using GSW!

    Anissa Leavell went well above and beyond her duties as our wedding officiant and coordinator, and we received numerous compliments on how unique and beautiful the ceremony and vows were. Anissa's genuine passion for officiating, as well as her exceptionally pleasant, positive, and graceful demeanor, significantly contributed to our happiness and peace of mind on our special day. Thanks to her, our "Gracefully Small" wedding couldn't have been more perfect! :-)

    Anissa was absolutely a blessing to our day! She took the prize for bringing us both to center and remembering the meaning of the event as a whole. As most of us know planning a wedding can be a hectic time. Anissa made sure before, during and after that we needed to keep calm and remember our feelings for each other because our union was just the beginning! On top of that she offered a genuine, kind hand weeks before so that we were prepared, and weeks after to assure our happiness. Not only does she take pride in her work but she feeds off of a couple's happiness. We had intimate moments together that lead toward the tears of joy during our customized ceremony, in front of the people we love dearly that could share our day with us. I would highly recommend Anissa to ANY couple and truly promise nothing but more than you both expected.

    Kathryn and I felt very much at ease after we spoke with Anissa for the First time over the Phone,as we were Planning our Daughter's Wedding as a Destination Wedding which was a Day's Drive from our home location.

    Anissa's experience and knowledge of the Area where our Daughter was to be Married gave us great comfort to know she was to become Our Eyes and Ears,so we counted on Anissa to fullfill our Plans which she so Graciously & Professionally succeeded in doing so !

    Anissa was very warm and accommodating with us, Open to our suggestions and responded very Professionally and Promptly with such a Friendly demeanor throughout the whole Planning Process and during the Course of the Ceremony and Reception !

    When we finally met in Person on the Weekend of the Wedding we became " Quick Best Friends " !!

    Thank You Anissa for doing such a Wonderful Job for us in helping us to make Our Daughter's Wedding Event a Dream come True !

    Very Truly Yours,
    Steve & Kathryn Hansen

    *** Whenever we are asked how the Wedding went, Kathryn responds with, " I Don't know how I could have done it without her ! " ***

    Anissa was absolutely fantastic to work with! She completely customized our vows with us and was always quick to respond. On the day of our wedding, she was so professional and organized. Everyone loved our ceremony. Anissa is kind-hearted, thoughtful, professional, and a calm spirit, which is priceless during wedding planning! I'd recommend her to anyone.

    My husband and I were so happy that we found Anissa to be our officiant! She was very personable and a gem to work with. My husband and I had a very small wedding. We were not sure where we wanted the ceremony to be and she had a lot of great suggestions for us. She knows Charleston very well and was a huge help in helping us find the perfect location! I spoke with her on the phone several times before the wedding and emailed with her as well. She gets back to you very quickly and is very accommodating. She has also officiated several of our friends weddings!!! Big or small she is the officiant you want!

    Anissa was wonderful! She is so friendly personable, and professional. She made me feel like my wedding day was as important to her as it was to us. She worked with us to personalize our vows so that they were specific and meaningful to us. We ended up with the wedding day we dreamed of....beautiful, special, and intimate! She was perfect!

    I would give Anissa 6 stars for value if I could. She went above and beyond our expectations in every way, even assisting us in several ways that we hadn't discussed in our service agreement. In the end, she saved us thousands by referring and recommending us to other professionals and vendors that could accommodate our wishes very frugally without compromising on quality of service.

    Our family members all thought we spent 5x or more than we did on our wedding, and the service was perfect. We could tell this was much more than just a business to Anissa. She is very passionate about helping couples start their new family together, and she removed all the stress out of putting our small wedding together. I cannot recommend her enough.
