10/10 Amazing Service

Ms. Tia Ballard is who you want guiding you through your special day. My husband and I chose Ms. Tia for our special day and she truly was the extra sprinkle of love with a little razzle dazzle that we needed for our ceremony!

She took the time to video chat with us, walk us through everything we needed to do and got to know us. We chose to do the love story with her and she did NOT disappoint!! She really created a wonderful love story that had our family and friends laughing and even shedding tears during the ceremony. She made our relationship sound like a fairytale and then shared it with everyone. Truly a beautiful spirit inside and out and we are so blessed to have had her guide us into our new chapter of our lives.

After the ceremony she was very helpful and made sure we got our marriage certificate in a timely manner. She even called our local courthouse for us when they started having processing issues and offered to redo the certificate in person for us. Just an angel.

Ms. Tia, we will always love you and appreciate what you did for us.

Wonderful Officiant!

We cannot recommend Tia enough. She owns the orchestration of the Rehearsal and the Wedding Ceremony. She worked so well with my husband and I, as well as, the venue events coordinator. It was nice and relieving to have her on our team to ensure every detail was looked at and accounted for - she did this by coordinating with us and all the associated vendors. Tia also checked in with us individually before the ceremony to make sure we were both ok. She helped to keep the day fun and light, as well as, full of love! We were looking for an officiant last minute and we were so glad she was available. We had such a connection with her that many of our family and friends thought my husband, Tia, and I had been friends when we had only met her in person the night before our ceremony! Tia is amazing and you’ll be so happy to have her be the one officiating your union!

Incredible Officiant

Tia was the most amazing presence on our wedding day. She was organized, charming, funny and she made us feel loved and taken care of on our wedding day. Our ceremony went smoothly and she knew exactly what we wanted. She gave us full insight into her script and allowed discussion for how we wanted our ceremony to flow. Truly a professional and an amazing human. I highly recommend Hello Love for your wedding day!

Tia is a Dream Wedding Maker!

Tia was the most extraordinary wedding officiant I could have ever dreamed of. She is kind, funny, unique, and professional. Tia was there every step of the way to help create our dream wedding ceremony. She was attentive and understanding throughout the entire process. I couldn't recommend her enough to anyone looking for a non-traditional ceremony. Tia is the best, and made our wedding more magical than I ever thought possible!

Everything we could ask for

We weren't sure what to expect when we went looking for an officiant online but pleasantly surprised doesn't quite cover it. Tia got back to us within minutes of our of inquiry and was so pleasant to interact with. She made us feel comfortable and confident about how about the ceremony would go. Her execution of the ceremony was perfect, we couldn't have chosen better.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
