Amazing experience!

Bridget was phenomenal on our wedding day. We had to reschedule our wedding due to covid and she was incredibly supportive and considerate - made the process very easy. She spoke beautifully at the ceremony and personalized the ceremony to fit our personalities. Bridget was there every step of the way to make our wedding day perfect. Thank you!

Better than we could have ever imagined!

Bridgett was our officiant at the Riverhouse at Goodspeed Station 5-1-21 and we HIGHLY recommend her to everyone. She told our love story in the most beautiful way, with the most gracious tone, and created an extremely intimate and touching ceremony (based on what we described to her we were looking for). She was absolutely amazing and we will be forever grateful to her. Our guests all commented on how wonderful the ceremony was: “so much love” “honestly the most beautiful ceremony we have seen”. She was always quick to respond throughout the planning process and so kind. We can’t thank Bridget enough and we hope that everyone gets to experience a ceremony created by her!

So understanding and kind

We originally hired Bridget to officiate our August 2020 wedding, which was cancelled/postponed due to COVID. We're now planning our wedding in VT, so we had to cancel her services. Even though we had to cancel, she was so understanding of the situation and very reasonable. We loved working with her, and we're so sad we couldn't have her officiate our ceremony! Even from our first video call, she was so warm and sweet. A few months after booking, she met with us at a coffee shop to go over our ceremony from start to finish and offered help for writing our own vows. She made us feel so comfortable and happy to get married from the start. Highly, highly recommend!

Captured Our Love Perfectly ❣️

We booked Bridget to officiate our October 2020 wedding before covid hit. Our plans changed a few times but she was flexible and very accommodating! Prior to our consultation, we had some reservations as we are not religious or traditional. We wanted our ceremony to be short but special, focusing primarily on our love and unique story. After meeting with Bridget, she assured us that she would be able to deliver exactly what we were looking for. As we stood together in front of Bridget on our wedding day, we were both blown away. The words she chose and the way she delivered the various messages had us both in tears. Standing there listening to Bridget was almost surreal, like she found the perfect way to capture our love. We absolutely loved working with her and would recommend her to all couples!

Bridget is the sweetest.

Bridget has such a way about her that is so calming and kind. She took the time to get to know us and to ask questions that would help her craft the best ceremony for us. She keeps it short and sweet but personal and heartfelt. I am a writer by trade and she was so patient with my revisions and suggestions to the vows. She is very responsive, always responding immediately and even sent us an email the day before wishing us well and a sweet note afterward. So many people asked us if we knew her because she was so comfortable with us, and her style was exactly the vibe we were looking for.

Hire Bridget!

Bridget made our very rough ideas come to life in a beautiful, eloquent, tear-filled ceremony. She listened so intently to our wishes and we could not have pictured a better laid-out or executed ceremony. She is the sweetest person and truly has a gift!

Wonderful Ceremony - Above Expectations

Bridget was great to work with on our wedding ceremony. She reached out to us early to lock in many key details, and then closer to the wedding day to finalize everything. The ceremony she put together was beautiful and had many nice personal touches. Our guests loved it so much that we have had people asking for a copy of her beautiful words after the wedding! She was there for us on a hot day and gave us electrolyte tabs to make sure we were prepared for the heat! We would highly recommend Bridget to anyone

The best officiant we could have asked for!

Bridget is an incredible officiant! From our first phone call, we instantly felt a connection with her and she made us feel completely comfortable and confident that we had chosen the right person for such a special role in our wedding day. She has such a warm personality and offers excellent suggestions to help tailor your ceremony to be exactly how you had imagined. On the big day, her voice is amazingly calm and soothing - we received so many compliments on Bridget's delivery! She is also very organized and will quickly file your marriage certificate so there are no delays. We highly recommend Bridget - she is amazing and we are so glad that we could share our experience with her.
