Amazing experience!

Rev. Annika was very responsive and easy to work with during the preparation process, and had a variety of ideas & recommendations based on her experience officiating. And during the ceremony, she was a calm and steady presence (even in the midst of inclement weather moving our ceremony inside, and a couple of loud children). So glad that we hired her for our wedding!

Wonderful!

Annika was just what we were looking for! She was so kind and had a calming presence. She kept close communication, gave us suggestions for our ceremony, and was very flexible. She made us feel at ease on our big day and did a fantastic job. I would highly recommend!

Wonderful Experience

We were exceedingly pleased with our officiant, she was so kind and flexible when needed. I would 100% recommend as she will work with your needs and provide recommendations. She officiated a beautiful service at our ceremony and provided us with a final script with our wedding day pictures included. Excellent service!!
