The Perfect Ceremony

Ann officiated our wedding in April 2023. We could not be happier with all of her contributions to our ceremony. She not only has the outward attributes you want in an officiant: energy, humor, professionalism, but she also possesses a steady calmness and confidence that is at the same time understated and yet absolute. In the moment you feel the warmth and joy she creates in her ceremonies but afterwards I sit here appreciating that fact that all of that was possible because she creates a foundation of ease that lets all of that joy and happiness shine through. And it is so natural you don't even notice it while it happens. But her contributions are not limited to the day, Ann genuinely put in the effort to get to know about us as a couple in the months before the wedding and also helped guide us through steps we needed to take along the way. I wholeheartedly feel that this effort is what creates the sense of ease and joy that she exudes and it is infectious. We could not recommend her enough!

Ann was wonderful to work with :)

Anne recently officiated my wedding and did a wonderful job. Ann was up for all the changes we wanted in the ceremony script and was very helpful in making the ceremony tailored to what we wanted. We got many compliments on how wonderful the ceremony was :) She is super friendly and great to work with.

Great Ceremony

Ann was absolutely amazing for our wedding at the Baucom House. She was so helpful in calming our nerves for our day. We had at least ten people come up to us after the wedding and tell us how great our ceremony was. The love story that she gives is so unique and makes it so special. I would give more than 5 stars if I could. Thank you so much for being a part of our day Ann!
