About this vendor

Experience

Hotel Du Pont Wedding

Taya is an amazing wedding officiant! From the moment we started working with her, we knew we were in good hands. She's super nice and incredibly easy to talk to, which made planning our ceremony a breeze. Taya was always available and responsive, addressing every question and concern we had with patience and a genuine desire to make our day perfect. Her warm personality and professionalism truly shone through, and we couldn't have asked for a better person to help us tie the knot!

Absolutely the best

We literally contacted her 6 days before we wanted to get married and she was on a family vacation and still took the time to connect w us and make our dreams come true. She was super professional and friendly and made our day super special ❤️ I will recommend her to anyone whether your event is huge or very intimate and small. This gal knows her stuff. We will forever be thankful for her guidance and love.

Everything we needed & more!

I asked her if she was free,& she fit us in last minute& was more than happy to do it. She is prompt, fun, open minded, sweet, & read off a short script so perfectly. She was everything we were looking for, I really hit the jackpot with her. If you are looking for someone knowledgeable , warm, professional .. yet fun she is your girl!

Side note: I appreciated how much she respected our w|w wedding🌈.

We would highly recommend Taya for any ceremony or elopement that you might be considering. She's very kind and extremely flexible about whatever you might want to do, especially locations, timing, etc. She's very welcoming and makes everyone feel at ease.

Taya was wonderful

Taya was very pleasant to work with. She had another ceremony after ours but made it work so she can perform both. She responded to my emails quickly and she addressed all questions I had. When I asked her if she could jump on a phone call to explain me the details further, she did not hesitate and took her time. I felt very comfortable to talk to her and I felt she was the right person to marry us.

Wow what can I say. In a time when you see vendors just putting in the time, Altered Vows by Taya REALLY adds that personal touch. A+

Misty Dawn Photography Misty Dawn Photography Wedding Photographers

I've had the pleasure of photographing several weddings that Taya has officiated and each was equally beautiful, so full of love and warmth. Taya is a natural and her ceremonies are some of the best I've witnessed. She does an extraordinary job of personalizing ceremonies to fit each couple, knowing when light humor will be well received or when to stick with the more traditional. Her ceremonies always leave a lasting impression. I highly recommend Taya, she's a wonderful ceremony officiant.
