Amazing Officiant

Cynthia was amazing! She put wonderful personal touches on everything that she said, made our guests laugh and cry and was very thoughtful in everything she prepared before the ceremony. We could not have asked for a better officiant for our special day! We highly recommend her!

Cynthia Copeland was outstanding! we highly recommend her! for a beautiful wedding!

We where searching for a Officiant to perform our wedding, I started to read reviews and Cynthia where highly regarded from people experience with her. We contacted her and after talking with her we knew she would be the person to go with. She really wanted to have a conversation to know us, she gave us several good options on how to customize our ceremony and she did an outstanding beautiful wedding ceremony for us.
We where doing a very simple and small family wedding and she make us feel at home with a great sense of humor and respect at the same time.
She was very professional, she arrive on time and gave us confidence before and during the ceremony, we are so please and thankful we found her. Special thanks to the previous people that has written reviews that help us to decide to contact her.
Cynthia, thank you very much for gave us such a beautiful wedding ceremony.

Thoughtful & Charismatic

We had a wonderful experience with Cynthia. We planned the wedding from Seattle and didn't meet her in person until the rehearsal, and yet our ceremony was very personal, lovely, and fantastically humorous at times. Multiple people told us it was one of the best wedding ceremonies they had seen, and Matt and I agree! Thank you Cynthia for making our day very special!

So happy with our choice

We were really happy that we chose Cynthia as our officiant. The whole process was very smooth and easy. She worked with us to make the ceremony just what we wanted, and, in the end, there were still some (fun) surprises in there for both of us! We got lot of compliments from our friends and family about the ceremony afterwards.

All we hoped for and more

Cynthia was all we had hoped for and more, the perfect blend of warmth and professionalism. She provided great advice and took time to find out about us and what we wanted the day to feel like. Coming from Australia we didn’t actually meet until the day, but it was obvious from the moment she walked in that we had made the right choice. She immediately helped us feel relaxed, and led us through the ceremony with grace, humour and care. Thanks Cynthia!

Perfect Ceremony!

We LOVED Cynthia as our officiant! She brought so many unique and personal touches to our ceremony that blew us away. She is very detailed oriented and made sure that all that we asked was included. Wouldn't have wanted anyone else for our wedding. Thank you, Cynthia!!!

Cynthia services are superb

We couldn't have asked for a better wedding service. We found Cynthia via an internet search and we are so happy that we did. After one meeting and quite a few emails Cynthia crafted a service that was perfect for the two of us. People at the ceremony actually asked what her relationship was to us and how she knew us. She was able to get to know that well with only those few brief contacts. I'm so glad Cynthia was a part of our special day and I highly recommend her to anyone searching for the "right fit" for an officiant.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Cynthia and I have worked together on several weddings and she has always been professional, friendly and fun to work with. Her weddings stand out because she officiates them in a way that is well thought out and uniquely personal to each couple. No cookie cutter vows here! It is apparent that she takes the time to tailor each wedding to the needs of the particular situation and desires of the participants and this is what makes her an outstanding wedding officiant.
