Gracefully wed made the most special day of our lives absolutely perfect!

If we could give our wedding officiant, Anissa Leavell, a million plus stars, we would!

Our wedding day was the most amazing, special, beautiful day of our entire lives, and Gracefully Wed played a huge role in that. Anissa was not only professional, courteous, flexible, and offered outstanding service on every level, she was also deeply heartfelt, soulful, and truly understood our love story and the love we have for each other.

Anissa perfectly described our love story in our wedding script and it moved us deeply. We were honoured to have Anissa marry us on the most beautiful beach in Florida, looking out at the Atlantic Ocean. It was the most unforgettable day of our lives!

Anissa will always have a special place in our hearts. She was part of our dream come true and we will never forget her!

We highly recommend Gracefully Wed for the most beautiful day of your lives.

The best!

From our first call with Anissa, we knew we wanted her to officiate our wedding. She's professional, friendly, and extremely personable. We met her for coffee and she got to know us and our story. She put together a beautiful ceremony script and gave us autonomy to edit and make sure it was exactly what we wanted. She helped with our rehearsal and helped our wedding day go flawlessly. Our ceremony was so sweet and special, and I loved that it incorporated parts of our story and relationship throughout rather than being strictly traditional. HIGHLY recommend. She's great!

Anissa is the best!

On our first call with Anissa, she immediately put us both at ease. We felt like she already got us. We met up and there was no mistaking she was who was meant to officiate our wedding. She worked with us to get the perfect script written and asked for our feedback along the way. She helped us with our vows and made the perfect ceremony come to life. She did a great job of having the attention on us and our words to each other which coaching us along the way. I can't imagine our day with anyone else standing up there with us that day. Thank you Anissa!

Gracefully Perfect

The company name says it all. Anissa officiated my daughter's wedding with only two days notice. A couple of phone calls and e-mails where she asked the right questions, and she came up with the perfect wedding script. I wonder if she'd had more time, she would have had us all in tears - the bride and groom were. The ceremony was elegant, perfectly written, well paced, and heart-felt. Thank you Anissa.

Five Stars

Anissa was such a key and wonderful part of our wedding. It was so easy for us to quickly get to know and love her! She truly has a grace about her. Her words are beautiful (and so is she!!) She was well articulated and professional. She was accommodating to all of our wishes and knew exactly how to put together what we wanted to say to each other in front of our loved ones in such a beautiful way. I would recommend her for anyone’s special day!!!

Absolutely Amazing!

Anissa from Gracefully Wed Events was amazing in every way! From the first moment my now wife and I met Anissa, we were compelled by her and her graceful and confident manner. She was incredible throughout the entire wedding process and helped from start to finish in so many ways. She met with my wife and I before the wedding in order to make our ceremony reading more about us than just a general reading. She even coordinated with our musician, photographer, videographer, and event coordinator from the hotel in order to help make the wedding flow. I would highly recommend Anissa to anyone and everyone who is getting married. She was one of the first people we hired for our wedding and we would hire her again without pause. Anissa, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Gift from God

Anissa was absolutely incredible from our first contact with her to the day of the wedding.
We had a few problems with our original officiant, and Anissa was able to not only accommodate us to her schedule but also to create a beautiful script that matched perfectly our history and style in a very short period of time.
First we had a meeting where she asked some questions about how we met, what we loved about each other, etc. She then took her time to include some of those answers in the script making it very personalized and special to us.
She helped me to write my vows to my stepchildren, and included them in our ceremony in a way that they felt important and part of our celebration.
She was also punctual, kind, and spoke incredibly well.
I will be forever thankful for this gift of God for putting her in our lives. Our ceremony wouldn’t be the same if we haven’t found her.
Thank you for making our day even more special, Anissa! We will remember you forever.
