Most memorable ceremony EVER!!

Having known Gina for over a decade, I could think of no one better to officiate my wedding. Not only was Gina my friend but she is someone I could always trust. I knew no matter what we would have a very special ceremony, but I was blown away at HOW special it was.

Gina took the time to interview both my (now) husband and I before the wedding and got to know our relationship and story. At the time I just thought this is what friends do but Gina was able to incorporate our love story into her ceremony script. We also filled out a couple’s questionnaire that she with our love story turned into the most beautifully worded ceremony that I have ever heard. Truly, I used to think wedding ceremonies were a bit of a bore, but I feel like our ceremony was the most special memory I have from our wedding. We were able to hire a videographer and I cannot WAIT to hear our ceremony again.

Before the wedding, Gina was always available to talk and answer any questions we had about the ceremony. She was always prepared, organized and on time. With Gina’s advice, we even had an easy time obtaining our marriage license without having to take any time off work or go to a courthouse which was a huge relief. Being from out of town she was not able to make the rehearsal, but you would have NEVER known that come wedding day. Heck, she did better than others who were at the rehearsal!

Come wedding day, not only did she rock the ceremony, but she also provided us with a prettier version of our marriage certificate to frame and show off. Gina was also extremely efficient at submitting our official marriage paperwork because we had our “legal” marriage certificate in the mail once we got back from our honeymoon!

I cannot stress how happy we are with having hired Gina to officiate our wedding! I have the most memorable ceremony that I can cherish for the rest of my life because of her.

Wonderful Experience!

Gina was the dream officiant for us! She respected all of our wishes and provided guidance when we needed it. Gina made time to walk through our script during the planning process and made sure we felt prepared! On our wedding day, she visited us both individually for a final check, and it felt like she was a family friend we'd known for years. Afterward, she followed up to check in to make sure our marriage certificate was processed. We would highly recommend Gina to anyone looking for a kind, thoughtful, responsive, and wonderful officiant!
