Spike was Great

I really appreciated Spike's professionalism and cool, calm demeanor. She helped us create a custom ceremony. We were able to view samples as well as add whatever we wanted. She gave us suggestions as well, and the end result was great.

Spike is not only a wonderful officiant, she is a phenomenal person. She is always quick to respond and a pleasure to work with. She is great at making sure you're comfortable and she had a rain plan in place before I even mentioned it. I cannot wait to celebrate my big day with her.
