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!

Would recommend to anyone!

We could not have asked for a better officiant for our custom vows on our wedding day. She made the entire process feel personal, organized, and stress-free while helping guide us along the way. The ceremony was heartfelt, genuine, and perfectly captured us as a couple. So many of our guests commented afterward about how beautiful and meaningful the ceremony was.

We are so grateful for the time, care, and thought she put into making our ceremony unforgettable. Highly recommend to any couple looking for someone who truly cares and goes above and beyond!

Ann McKenzie Officiant Review

Truly excellent service from Ann. She clearly spent a lot of time and effort into writing what she said at our ceremony. Everything that she said resonated well with both my wife and I and the attendees. I could not give a more glowing review for Ann Mckenzie.

Wonderful choice for your ceremony

Ann was very easy to work with. From the first contact she responded quickly to set up an introductory zoom. She offered several different packages. We selected the love story which was a perfect choice for our civil ceremony.

I loved the idea of Ann telling our guests how we met and why we wanted to get married. Having the surprise of hearing what we each loved about each other at the alter was so special to us both.

Ann was very easy to work with throughout the process. She even offered a choice of wardrobe options on the day to fit our color preference. She was on time an truly make the event special and memorable for everyone in attendance. Several guests noted they they cried throughout the ceremony! Highly recommend to any couples looking for an experienced and dependable officiant for their upcoming ceremony.

Ann was great!

We would highly recommend Ann as an officiant. She was very responsive to all of our inquiries, and we appreciated her flexibility and willingness to craft a unique ceremony that fit our situation (we got married on a weekday in a mixed religion wedding).

Professional, Thoughtful, and Seamless Ceremony

Ann McKenzie was wonderful to work with and made our wedding ceremony feel meaningful, calm, and beautifully personal. From the start, she was professional, organized, and easy to communicate with, which made the entire process stress free. On the wedding day, everything flowed seamlessly and her presence helped set a warm and sincere tone for the ceremony.
We also appreciated how attentive she was behind the scenes, including promptly mailing our marriage license and keeping us informed throughout the process. Ann was a pleasure to work with, and we would happily recommend her to other couples looking for a thoughtful and reliable officiant.
