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.

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!
