The Best Part of Our Wedding

Anthony was so helpful throughout the wedding process. He really worked with us to personalize the ceremony and capture our relationship. He offered guidance on our vows and ways to incorporate our cultural practices. I cannot recommend him enough!

Punctual officiant with a charismatic voice

It was great to have a member of the LGBT+ community officiate our wedding. Anthony understood our desires and expectations for the ceremony. He was extremely easy to talk to and offered to help fix an issue that popped up the morning of our weeding. He had a calming and reassuring voice on one of the most stressful days of our lives.

Wonderful Officiant

Anthony was the perfect addition to our small and intimate wedding ceremony. He was responsive to our emails and we connected right away with him and felt very comfortable. He came prepared and ready for our day and made sure to incorporate meaningful anecdotes about us and a group vow that we wanted to have. I would highly recommend him to anyone have a wedding big or small!

Perfect officiant for all needs!

Anthony was such a great person to work with! My husband and I just got married and had a court wedding ceremony. It was about two months before our wedding and we found out that the officiant provided by the court house was only able to get 8 people max. My husbands family did not have that since they all wanted to see us get married. I found Anthony through the app “the knot”, his profile seemed super professional and who wouldn’t like a personalized story themed going for the ceremony part!!! He walked me through the entire process from how we build the story, what kind of ceremony we were going to have, and helped us choose the right length of the ceremony. We wanted something quick, simple, and straight to the point. He provided just that! He personalized our story into a light hearted story and made ceremony super easy. I would definitely recommend him and his services! He’s amazing !! Thank you again!!!

The BEST I could have asked for..

He was very patient with my bridal party and very friendly. He was also very affordable and was easy to talk to. Did the best he could with how shy my now husband and I were to talk about ourselves and our relationship but he made it work and gave us such a great service. I would definitely recommend him to others. I did the elopement style with the basic vows and a small back story.
