Acadia National Park Elopement

We are incredibly grateful to Gwen for stepping in as our officiant on such short notice for our elopement at Acadia National Park. From my initial outreach, Gwen was highly responsive. She diligently provided her fees and contracts, even with our elopement date being less than a week away. She displayed excellent professionalism throughout the whole process. She was attentive and flexible meeting with us via zoom as we live out of state. She offered wedding script support and asked insightful questions to truly understand our vision for the elopement. Gwen made our elopement experience completely stress-free, and our "I do's" felt authentic and unique. We wholeheartedly recommend Gwen Walsh and are so thankful for how she made our day and ceremony even more special.

The Perfect Officiant for Our Day 🤍

We truly couldn’t have asked for a better officiant for our wedding! From the start, Gwen was so communicative and supportive, helping us create a ceremony that felt personal and meaningful. At the rehearsal, she was organized and patient, making everyone feel comfortable and confident about the flow of the ceremony. On the big day, she was perfect! The ceremony felt warm, genuine, and exactly how we had envisioned it. We’re so grateful she was such an important part of our special day. Highly recommend Gwen! 🤍

Wonderful Officiant

Gwen was very quick and flexible when it came to communication, she responded to all message with in the same day if not the same hour. She was very flexible when it came to timing or adjusting things to our needs. The day was beautiful and Gwen certainly helped to make that happen. Highly recommended Gwen is a pleasure to work with!

Professional, kind, funny, & flexible

Gwen was an absolute angel and a lifesaver for us. We lost our original officiant at the last second, and Gwen graciously stepped in with just a few days notice, still taking the time to tweak her script to be exactly as we wanted. Beyond her excellent officiant abilities, her energy and kindness made a chaotic day feel peaceful and smooth. We cannot recommend her enough. We will recommend her to anyone we know who is planning to get married.
