Amazing in every way!

Bonnie officiated a legal ceremony for us in St Michaels and did an amazing job. She incorporated our personal story, beautiful quotes and lovely vows. It could not have been any better! Highly recommend

Aunt Bonnie

Bonnie was wonderful! The questionnaire she sends (with PLENTY of time) was easy to fill out, and yet thorough enough for Bonnie to craft a wonderfully personalized ceremony. We kept being asked which one of our's aunt she was!

An amazing and unforgettable ceremony - Bonnie exceeded all expectations

Bonnie’s ceremony was a million times better than anything we could have imagined!! … and a million times better than any wedding we’ve ever attended!

As a couple, we expected the ceremony to be the shortest, least interesting part of the evening, but Bonnie truly made it the showstopper of the entire night. Bonnie wove together the story of our relationship into an amazingly fun, joyous, and exciting tale that everyone wanted to listen to. All our guests were moved by joy, laughter, heartfelt moments, and even some tears of happiness. Bonnie was full of wit, compassion, professionalism, and thoughtfulness. One guest arrived late and was told by other guests that he “missed the best part of the evening.” Several “burly” guests shared their surprise at feeling a tear or two. Other guests asked us to send the ceremony video so they could listen again.

Everyone – family, friends, and guests – said they had never experienced such an amazing ceremony. Not only did Bonnie craft the words extremely well, but her presentation was exceptional to listen to. Bonnie was clear, easy to hear, engaging, and uplifting.

Aside from the ceremony itself, working with Bonnie was nothing short of amazing. From our very first interactions onward, she provided good communication and follow-up. Bonnie started the process by giving us a questionnaire to gather the details she needed to write “our story.” It was fun going through this and answering as we reminisced as a couple. Then Bonnie enhanced our story by adding meaningful quotes, poems, and thoughtful references targeted to our maritime celebration. At our request, Bonnie also provided very helpful direction on how we could conduct the celebration from all technical aspects… approaching, standing, looking out for my dress, writing vows vs. using hers, tips for the best photos, and so forth. Bonnie made us feel at ease and confident the ceremony would go very well, and that she would be looking out for us all along the way.

We cannot say enough, Bonnie exceeded all our expectations. We highly recommend Bonnie.
