Amazing Company & Officiant!

Our wedding ceremony was nothing short of magical, thanks in large part to the thoughtful and guidance of Love & Widsom. Love & Wisdom also demonstrated exceptional organizational skills, ensuring that every aspect of the ceremony ran smoothly and according to plan. From coordinating with our officiant to guiding us through the marriage license process, they went above and beyond to alleviate any stress or uncertainty we may have had.
Our officiant, Dmitry was amazing! From our initial meeting to the moment we said "I do," Dmitry demonstrated professionalism, kindness, and a genuine passion for crafting a ceremony that reflected our love story.Throughout the planning process, he took the time to get to know us as a couple, listening attentively to our story, values, and aspirations for our future together. His thoughtful questions and insightful suggestions helped us shape a ceremony that was deeply meaningful and uniquely ours. On the day of the wedding his words were heartfelt and sincere, capturing the essence of our relationship and the commitment we were making to each other. His calming presence and genuine enthusiasm for our union made the entire experience truly unforgettable.
We are endlessly grateful for his guidance and support, and we wholeheartedly recommend Love & Wisdom to anyone in search of an officiant who will make their special day truly memorable.

Amazing Officiant and company!

Rodney our officiant was awesome. He listened to everything we said and even read between the lines. He made our wedding ceremony personal and perfect. He was warm and fun and a perfect fit for the wedding ceremony we envisioned and it was carried out flawlessly.

Love and Wisdom has been supportive and informative and an excellent choice for finding an Officiant for any one. We appreciated their guidance and that they matched us with an Officiant based on our preferences and personalities.

I would recommend love and wisdom, especially Rodney to anyone looking for a truly special ceremony and officiant.

Call Love & Wisdom Today!

10/10 recommend! I am extremely grateful to Love & Wisdom for the wonderful ceremony they provided. It was definitely worth every penny to have a customized ceremony. Philip carefully listened to our preferences and went above and beyond our expectations. He was professional and kind. Despite some rain during our ceremony, he made it work, and there wasn't a dry eye at my wedding. I appreciated the ease of communication with Love & Wisdom. Philip and his team were available to answer any questions via phone or email. They treated us like family, not just a customer. I also really enjoyed the provided pre-marital questions for us to answer on our own time. I truly felt that this helped us solidify the foundation to our marriage.
