Best officiant ever!

Helen was so great to work with very responsive to any question we had. Also asked how we wanted our ceremony to go. She also sent us a copy of the ceremony script if we wanted to make any changes. Best experience we could have had with an officiant thank you so much Helen we appreciate everything you did thank you for marrying my wife and I! I hope to renew vows in 10 years and we will be calling you to officiate! 😁

Great Experience

Helen was extremely responsive as we worked through the officiant speech. As we wanted something simple and fast, Helen provided great suggestions and was keen to listen to what we want, instead of putting us through a process, as some other officiants ask or even require.

Wonderful amazingly

Helen is great she was very quick about answering questions or asking questions... she was amazing with everything even writing the vows up and including my kids in to the vows but I felt bad I got her lost in a state park with no cell service but we got it figured out!!!!

Wedding-Elopement

She was very professional and made sure to include what we wanted in our quick-elopement ceremony. Very good at communicating!!! Exactly what we wished for. Would recommend!

Having Helen wed me and my wife's small ceremony was our best decision ever! She was more of a friend than just an officiant, which made her officiating our wedding even more special. Helen was wonderful to work with and kept a professional demeanor, even during the jokes from the brides. We had our small wedding at Jordan Valley park located in downtown Springfield, Missouri and it was beautiful, especially at night with the stars and moon out to highlight our moment. Helen made our wedding extraordinary and I would recommend her to everyone!

My now-husband and I chose Helen for our Leap Day elopement at the Springfield Botanical Gardens. She fit everything we were looking for: professional, but casual. She matched how we felt so easily, and was so kind in accommodating our children in our special day.

Helen is easy to talk to, easy to get ahold of, and made our day absolutely perfect for us. We have no doubt she is capable of making anyone's special day just as amazing as ours, despite how different they may be!

We absolutely recommend her for anyone's officiant!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
