Amanda was wonderful

We had a wonderful experience with Amanda. My husband and I wanted to have a very private ceremony at the park. She met us there with only a few days notice, helped up pick out the ceremony script and created a unique and comfortable experience for us! Would highly recommend her.

Amanda was amazing!

We specifically wanted someone that covered all types of ceremonies for all types of couples and wanted to choose someone who would understand our needs in a ceremony. We were lucky to find Amanda! She did an amazing job pulling it all together and keeping us safe by wearing a mask! We are so grateful to Amanda and highly recommend her!

Heartfelt, Genuine, and Accomodating!

We had Amanda officiate our legal marriage ceremony in our backyard and then over a year later, she officiated our big, traditional wedding! Both times Amanda was extremely professional and gave lovely readings. She offered us options ahead of time of 6 different ceremonies and let us customize them exactly how we wanted them! She was very helpful and accommodating as we used different ceremony outline for each ceremony. Amanda came to both dressed in a nice, professional dress and was a pleasure to work with! Thank you Amanda!

Very flexible and professional

Amanda was amazing and accommodating with my sunday morning brunch wedding. She was able to come early Saturday to work on the rehearsal which was much appreciated. It ended up raining the morning of our service but amanda the last minute adjustments were very smooth and we had a beautiful ceremony 😍

Pandemic summer wedding

Amanda made our tiny pandemic wedding something we will remember forever. In the short notice that we gave her she was able to make it perfect. I could never have asked for anything more.

PERFECT ceremony!

Amanda was absolutely perfect. When our big reception was canceled due to COVID, we still wanted to have a micro-wedding with close family and friends - and we are SO glad that Amanda was available. She was flexible with the chaos that came with our last-minute planning, she wore a mask, and she was very professional without being "dry." We picked and customized our ceremony and were able to fit in a poem reading by a friend. Amanda also threw in some off-the-cuff jokes/comments that made it even more perfect and matched our vibe. We are so thankful!

I would highly recommend

Amanda was the officiant at my daughters wedding last weekend. She did a great job. She definitely wants the bride and groom to have the ceremony they want. She has many ceremonies options you can choose from, you can write your own....whatever you want. She was professional and on time. I would highly recommend her!

Amanda is great with people and has a calming effect on the couple. She really cares about the couple and has personalized and fun officiating for each unique couple. I definitely look forward to working with her again and love how open minded she is, and how comfortable people are around her.
