The absolute Best.

There is no one better than Susie. She felt like family the moment we met her, and that continued through the entire process. She was also a total professional - responsive, thoughtful, always thinking ahead, for us. She was one of the few things in our Covid-Wedding that went completely according to plan, and more! And that's all thanks to Susie. You should feel truly honored to work with her. There is no one with a bigger or more honest heart.

Susie helped our dreams come true!

Susie was the best officiant we could ever hope for. She made our imagination a reality. From start to finish, she was so kind, caring, supportive, and understanding. My husband and I are normally shy and awkward, but she made us feel so comfortable during the whole process. Her beautiful words during our ceremony brought us to tears. She really made it personalized for our relationship. She's truly amazing, and we are so grateful to have found her. We wouldn't recommend any other officiant than Susie.

Amazing Officiant

My wife and I are so happy and fortunate that we chose Susie to be our officiant. From the initial consultation meeting, we knew exactly that this is who we wanted to lead our ceremony. She was thoughtful, responsive, and friendly throughout.

We wanted a customized, secular ceremony while still having traditional vows and it was all possible thanks to Susie. She allowed us to be our true selves and share our love story, which she helped curate, in front of our family and friends.

Also, several of our guests told us during the reception how much they liked Susie. If you go with Susie, I’m sure you and your guests will say the same.

Thank you, Susie!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

When someone offers me a wedding and I'm already booked, Susie Cunningham is the Celebrant I refer them to. She is a supremely empathetic being who connects strongly with her clients and always gives them a beautiful, appropriate -- yes, truly "heartcrafted" ceremony. Susie is a star.
