The absolute best!

I loved working with I Do Ceremonies for my wedding day ceremony. Stephen and Jonah were both amazing and easy to communicate/ talk with. They really took all the stress of planning my wedding ceremony off of my shoulders. Our ceremony was perfect and we received many compliments even months after our wedding day. I loved working with them and would recommend them to everyone!

Highly Recommend Stephen!!!

Stephen was a wonderful officiant, we could not recommend him MORE!! He met with us before hand and made sure we knew exactly how our ceremony would go. We told him what we wanted down to the things he said it was perfect. We even had people come up to us afterwards and comment how wonderful a job he did! We will definitely be recommending him to our friend and family members who get married in the future.

Best officiant ever!

We are so happy we chose Stephen as our officiant. He was one of the best - if not the best - vendor we worked with for our wedding. He was extremely organized, quick to respond to questions, and he was a fantastic speaker that added the perfect human touch to our ceremony. I absolutely loved that he had sooo many different ceremony script options to review. We had no idea where to start or what we wanted, and he made it as easy as possible.

Best officiant we could have asked for!!

Stephen Simmons was absolutely perfect. We never met Stephen in person until the day of our wedding and he made us feel like we had known him forever. He also helped calm our nerves of the big moment and really take it all in.

We had countless family members and friends come up and ask us how long we had known Stephen and were shocked to find out that we had just met him in person that day. They also said they would fly him to their wedding or their children's weddings in the future. We are so lucky to have had Stephen officiate our wedding and he will forever hold a special place in our hearts.

Highly recommend Stephen

We highly recommend hiring Stephen!! Our best friends had him as an officiant and we were blown away by him so we hired him immediately without even looking around. He is so kind, professional, thoughtful, and thorough. He met with us to discuss everything we needed for the big day and then when it was go-time he was checking on us to make sure we felt comfortable and at ease. He handled all the back end filing of our marriage license and we received the final copy in the mail only a week after our wedding. We didn’t even think about needing to file that so I am so glad we hired him!

A strong supporting presence anyone would want on their day!

Stephen was such a loving, fun, and supporting presence to have on our Big Day! He made us feel calm and in control, even though HE was leading us through each step along the way. He has a strong, comforting personality, but never "stole the show" or made it seem like it was about him. Honestly there were times I barely noticed him there, even though he was right by our side. With eloquent speech and an obvious expertise in officiating, he made creating our ceremony outline go from our jumbled up wants, to a beautiful, flowing experience. He is who I would want to lead any event of my life and we are so thankful we had the joy of reserving him for our special day.
*As you can see from the photo, even at the end for our kiss and announcement, he had completely moved out of the way as to not be in any pictures! He truly thinks through all aspects of the ceremony!

Stephen Simmons is by far one of the best in the business. He cares for his clients as much as someone can, and it shows. I know when he is working a wedding at my venue that I can sit back and not worry because we are all in great hands. He is so knowledgable and has so many great ideas on how to make your ceremony a one-of-a-kind piece that doesn't seem like it's been done a million times. He will have you feeling relaxed, and even giddy, by the time you get to the ceremony that you will forget how nervous you were!! You are in the absolutely best hands with him!!
