Highly recommend Dottie as your officiant!

Partnering with Dottie as our wedding officiant was a great experience from beginning to end! We had little prior knowledge or ideas about how we wanted the ceremony to go, and she guided us through the whole process so that she could write an amazing, personalized ceremony for us. She was patient, flexible, understanding and creative. She spent time to get to know us so that she could write a ceremony that reflected us and our relationship. She was also really helpful during the rehearsal and really knowledgeable about weddings. Overall, I highly recommend partnering with Dottie if you are in need of an officiant.

Perfect in every way!

Dottie was, without any doubt, the perfect person for this position. She welcomed us with tons of experience, despite us not having a clue on how to get married.

To help prepare, she met with us over coffee to help understand our goals for the wedding. We had no clue other than we wanted barbecue food and to make it casual.

Dottie was able to take this idea and transform it into a day full of meaning and purpose.

Thank you for making our dream a reality.

We can’t recommend her enough!

We had the absolute pleasure of having Dottie officiate our wedding, and we couldn’t be happier or recommend her more. From the start, she was so warm and personable; she was so open about her own experiences and made it so easy to connect with her without making it feel like a transaction; it immediately felt like we were asking a friend for help to marry us. She made us feel completely comfortable throughout the whole process. She took the time to get to know us, and it really showed in how personal and heartfelt our ceremony felt. Along the way, she made herself open to any questions we had, and she was proactive in letting us know what the process would be like and what to expect.

It was clear how much she genuinely cared about us, and we especially appreciated that she was more than willing to include our dog in the ceremony, which made the moment even more special. She made us feel so at ease, and we always felt comfortable asking her questions or for help.

Not only did she create the most perfect and heartfelt ceremony for us, but our friends and family were raving about her and how friendly she was for days afterward, which just speaks to the incredible presence she brought to our wedding. If you’re looking for someone who’s kind, professional, and will make your ceremony feel personal and unforgettable, we can’t recommend Dottie enough.

Dottie is overall a beautiful person and we love all her outline and details she made for our the ceremony. ❤️

We are so happy to find Dottie. She is not only our wedding officiant, she is now also our dear friend. We love her and appreciate all the efforts she put in to make our ceremony beautiful and heart-warming. She powered through a very cold December ceremony. We love all the details of how she outlined our ceremony and the quotes and repeated vows she created for us. We highly recommend her! Dottie is overall a beautiful person.

A beautifully personalized ceremony experience.

We just celebrated our beautiful wedding this past Saturday, November 2, 2024 and Dottie was our officiant. We contacted her about a year ago and immediately she was such a fun our to work with. We met with her and got to know each other better and right off the bat Dottie was so easy and friendly to get to know. Throughout the course of our year planning, Dottie was in constant communication with us. We would constantly exchange thoughts and ideas about our ceremony plans.
Our ceremony she performed for us this past Saturday was so beautiful. I can't tell you how many guests came up to me after the ceremony to tell me how touched they were at her accurate and beautiful words spoken. Dottie made us feel so calm and truly has a way with words and heart. She gave us an unforgettable day! Thank you Dottie 🥰
