Stephan was the officiant for my wedding on October 18th 2025 and I have to share what an amazing job he did. He was easy to communicate with, attentive and thorough to make sure our ceremony is personal and exactly what we wanted. We received the most compliments on our ceremony because of how perfect it was and actually had people ask for copies of the ceremony because the words he spoke touched so many there. He showed up to rehearsal and made sure we all knew what we were doing and answered any questions that anyone had! 10/10 recommend Stephan for any newly engaged couples looking for their officiant!!!

Dr. Smith could not have been a better choice for our ceremony. We had 100 guests and almost every one commented on how well spoken and organized he was. He completely diminished all of our anxieties about the planning of our wedding in our first meeting by how thorough he was with questions. All of our requests were accepted with enthusiasm and communication was flawless. 10/10, A+, 100%, perfect.

Awesome to work with! Made a long drive to accommodate our ceremony on the beach! Super easy to work with and tailored our ceremony to exactly what we wanted!

Dr. Smith was exactly what we needed for our ceremony. He was an absolute joy to work with, super easy going and flexible. He offered a lot of different options for our ceremony outline and helped us customize it to make it our own. Everyone enjoyed his professionalism and sense of humor. Highly recommend!!!

Dr. Smith was great to work with, and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding officiant - whether a simple ceremony or more elaborate! We originally started planning a large wedding, but our plans changed, and we decided to go with an intimate wedding this year - meaning some last-minute planning. Dr. Smith was extremely accommodating in making it work with his schedule and brought great expertise to the table in locations to use and running the short and sweet ceremony. He is extremely professional and well-seasoned in what he does, which was very helpful to putting us at ease! He will take care of you 100% and brings a great light-hearted attitude to the table while doing so. Super communicative and prompt while planning and the day of. Thanks again Dr. Smith for making our day happen without a hitch!

We absolutely loved working with Dr. Stephan Smith! From the start, his communication was excellent, always prompt, professional, and reassuring. Dr. Smith was very flexible, allowed us to tailor our ceremony script to make it about our story and personable. On both our rehearsal and wedding days, he brought such a calming presence, which helped us feel at ease and truly enjoy the moment.

We couldn't have asked for a better officiant and would highly recommend Dr. Smith to anyone looking for someone professional, kind, and truly dedicated to making your day perfect.
