Spiritual and beautiful ceremony

Pastor Lisa has reasonable fees and is very flexible. Rescued us because our officiant backed out at the last minute. She is very sincere and wants to get to know each couple and make the ceremony exactly what we wanted. We contacted Lisa three weeks ahead of time and she jumped right in to help us create the ceremony together using all of our suggestions and her style together. It really was full of joy, the meaning of marriage and the value of our relationship. We had great feedback and our families and guests enjoyed her ceremony and presence.

Very Satisfied!

Lisa was great. She helped add an extra touch to our special day. Lisa was able to work with us during the planning phase to help work out the details. My wife and I have gotten to know Lisa and we continue to stay in touch to continue our friendship. I would recommend.

Unprofessional Red Flag

Lisa was responsive and friendly on the phone in the beginning, but it was during our in-person meeting that my fiance and I got several red flags. The biggest one was her asking to receive her deposit before we got to see a contract. She told several stories about how she's had trouble with other couples in the past to justify it. She interrupted us constantly and seemed extremely disorganized. It was our understanding that the point of the meeting was for her to get to know our story so she could write a more personal ceremony and help us with organizing a timeline, but we barely had a chance to get a word in because the conversation kept circling back to her and her experiences. We kept things cordial but by the end of the meeting, we left feeling very uneasy. Later, we respectfully notified her that we didn't think we were compatible, and she sent back several very unprofessional texts that basically chastised us for not giving her a chance. I don't recommend her at all.

Unprofessional

So much went wrong. Everything we asked for she did the opposite. First off, after I paid the deposit she became late on responses. And she even made a comment stating “she doesn’t do Vegas weddings” , when I asked for her not to do a long speech. I asked her not to do jokes and SHE DID A JOKE, a horrible one too. I asked her not to do a speech about me and him and she still did. Also her phone was dead so when I tried calling her the day of, it went straight to voicemail. When she came to talk to me in private in the restroom, she proceeded to go into the bathroom and take a dump while I stood there in my wedding dress literally 2 minutes before going down the isle. She argued with my sister because she didn’t like how my daughters entered the room for the ceremony. She READ OFF PAPERS DURING THE CEREMONY AND LOST HER SHEETS SO WE STOOD all awkward. My entire ceremony was ruined by her unprofessionalism and refusal to do it how we asked her.

Do not hire

I'm not sure if she is a scam but if she is not than she is the most unlucky person in the world. it was one excuse after the other and then, after not responding to me for weeks, I get an email in my junk folder that she was hacked on everything and had to start over. Don't hire this person. I'm out money but I'd rather be out money than wait and see what excuse she will come up with for not showing up to our wedding.

This vendor is a scam. I talked to her all the time and she gave me a sob story about being ripped off at another wedding she did. I paid my $150 deposit 6 months before the wedding. She sent me a facebook message 2 1/2 weeks before my wedding to let me know I should just go with a justice of the peace and that she couldn't do my wedding. I was left scrambling to find an officiant so close to my wedding. I asked for my deposit back and she said she would sent it, however I have still never received it.
