A Wonderful Collaboration for a Meaningful Ceremony

I had the pleasure of co-hosting my best friend’s wedding with Kimberly and translating the ceremony into Mandarin for the couple’s families and many guests. From start to finish, the host was professional, warm, and incredibly accommodating, making our collaboration seamless. They guided the ceremony beautifully, ensuring that every moment felt meaningful and inclusive. It was a joy working together to create a memorable experience for everyone. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a skilled and thoughtful ceremony officiant!
我很荣幸能与Kimberly一起主持我最好的朋友的婚礼,并将整个仪式翻译成中文,让新人的家人和众多宾客都能理解和感受这份喜悦。从头到尾,Kimberly都展现出极高的专业素养,温暖而周到,使我们的合作十分顺畅。她完美地引导了整个仪式,让每一个瞬间都充满意义和包容感。能一起合作,为大家创造这样一场难忘的婚礼体验,真是一件非常愉快的事情。我强烈推荐Kimberly给任何正在寻找一位专业且富有温度的主持人!

Perfect Wedding

We couldn’t have done it without her! Not only did she deliver a beautiful and heartfelt ceremony, but she also went above and beyond to help us navigate the entire process. I had no idea we needed to get a wedding license well in advance, but she guided us every step of the way, ensuring everything was done on time.

Her responsiveness in communication was incredible – every question we had, she answered quickly and clearly. She also took care of all the paperwork and coached us on how to properly sign all the documents, making the whole process stress-free.

If you want an officiant who is professional, organized, and genuinely caring, she’s the one. Thank you for making our wedding day seamless and unforgettable!
