Grounded, open, & insightful

Following a recommendation from a friend, we hired Elizabeth and were happy at all turns with our decision. From the first conversation, we had a positive connection and could sense her great balance of interpersonal & professional excellence.

Our wedding guests commented on Elizabeth's grounded presence, authenticity, and ability to graciously hold space for all participants. Elizabeth had knowledgable suggestions throughout our planning process, which we were rooted in our interests and sensibilities as the couple.

Warm memorable day

My Irish husband and I had a unique socially distant ceremony in Elizabeth’s backyard. Our family couldn’t make it so it was good to have nice warm people around us. The backyard was lovely and we felt like Romeo and Juliet. She processed our marriage license very quickly. I really appreciate what you did for us, thank you.

Lovely, Professional, Personable

Elizabeth was absolutely amazing. She was incredibly helpful in every step of planning and executing the ceremony. It was always a joy to talk with her. She had many great insights and suggestions to help craft a ceremony that was very personal and meaningful. She was also very flexible regarding scheduling time to talk. She was a very calming and grounding presence during the planning of our wedding and during the ceremony. We are so thankful that we found her. We can't recommend her enough.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
