As her own way of saying, "Thank You!" to the hard working men and women of the emergency services and the military, she offers a discount to those individuals.

Dot is, hands down, the best Officiant both on this website and on the West Coast. She is extremely personable and kind. Our own friends and family believed that we had both met her when we where younger because of the thoughtful touch she added to our vows. BRIDES, choose Dot if you want the dream ceremony that you have dreamed of without the loads of extra work to make it happen. She has a great approach to making your ceremony both elegant and fluid. I honestly couldn't imagine what our ceremony would have been without her. We had no idea how important it was to find particular details that made it OUR wedding rather then just-another-wedding. Look no futher, Dot is absolutely your best choice.

Love her already!
I had a one hour consolation with her over the phone and I already love her. She has a great vision for what I’m asking for which is not traditional at all, she is open minded and knowledgeable. I really didn’t want to spend so much for an officiant, but also didn’t want the anxiety just thinking about doing it all myself . With her reassurance on all that she has to offer and her professionalism I’m back on board with spending the money. Definitely would recommend her.

She is really professional and truly helped make the day special. The original minister that I was going to use had a death in the family and couldn't make it. She understood and we were able to put something quick but also was meaning full to me and my husband together. She helped with calming my nerves and she helped reassure me that everything went perfectly, which in the end it did. I would recommend her to anyone for there special day.
