Last minute and she made it happen!

We got screwed on our original Wedding that was supposed to be up in pigeon Forge. We saw Trish on the Wedding wire and we gave her a call and literally that day she did our wedding and it was fabulous. She was very empathetic to our situation as we lost $500 And she made the whole family feel welcome. She’s very energetic very trustworthy and we are going to use Trish to renew our vowels in 10 years. I saw a review that was posted by another bride and it couldn’t be further from the truth with Trish, she went above and beyond. we love you the Nelson family

Spectacular

Trish was so wonderful on the timing and helping us letting us know what we needed to do. She did such a great job marring us I'm so glad we found her. She made us feel comfortable and I was so nervous in the begging but she just got me to relax. I will defiantly refer Trish to all my friends and family members that are getting married. She's the best

Not only was Trish the most kind and thoughtful officiant, she was very responsive and took the time to make sure she knew our vision for our special day.

DeBusk Wedding ♥️

Trish was so sweet. She was so helpful with our vows. We married at family cabin and she traveled 208 miles to us and married us on the deck. Understanding when we had to play phone tag with our busy schedules, we traveled from Indiana to Tennessee. Communicating with us all the way up to the day of our wedding. We didn’t have to wish with Trish. We appreciated her patience. Our wedding was not a big blow out. Very private and personal. She guided us through the process and was so kind!

Do Not Hire Trish

Trish officiated our wedding in October 2023. Our initial impression over the phone was a somewhat positive one. However, during and after our wedding was a nightmare. I will give a full review below, but the most significant issue was she wrote the WRONG DATE ON OUR WEDDING LICENSE. Our wedding was a destination wedding, like a lot of Gatlinburg weddings, and the only way to fix the license would be to travel 12 hours back to Tennessee and resign everything. We decided not to deal with even more stress, so we had to leave our marriage license with the wrong date. All of our legal documents will reflect the wrong date of our wedding. This was a mistake that never should have happened as a wedding officiant. We paid $400 for officiating and the service did not reflect this.

During the exchanging of the rings, Trish started with me (bride). She said to "repeat after me" and she read the ENTIRE ring vows, instead of breaking it up into sections. I whispered to her I couldn't remember the entire vow and asked her to break it up so I could repeat it. Instead, she ignored me, moved onto the next portion of her speech and SKIPPED the ring exchange vows with the groom.

Prior to wedding, Trish informed us she would send us copy of her script, but she did not. So the first time we heard her officiant speech was during the ceremony. I did not get the opportunity to meet Trish before walking down the aisle. Trish was supposed to meet me prior, but later made the excuse that I was still getting ready. Trish should have waited until I was finished to introduce herself and explain what to expect and her speech.

We had to check in with Trish multiple times to get an update on when our wedding license would arrive. She assured us it was on the way, but said she would contact the courthouse and be in touch. She never reached back out so I had to ask her again. Even though it was 2 weeks later, she had not contacted the courthouse yet. She finally contacted the courthouse and found out our license wouldn't automatically be mailed and told us to call the courthouse to order it- even though she said it was on the way weeks ago. After calling the courthouse and ordering the license, we found out she wrote the WRONG DATE ON OUR MARRIAGE LICENSE.

I do not recommend hiring Trish as your wedding officiant. I strongly recommend asking the company you hire WHO will be officiating because it's common for companies to sub-contract people like Trish to fill in when they can't be in two places at once. This was an awful experience and we wish we could go back in time and choose someone else.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
