Amazing! Don’t know where to begin!

From the moment we met Julie, we knew we wanted to work with her and have her make our dream ceremony come true. Julie was absolutely amazing! Julie was always readily available with questions, provided exact time lines, walk throughs and even conducted our rehearsal for us. We always felt comfortable and in good hands. The day of the wedding was PERFECTION. Julie’s soft spoken words and the way she pieced together our love story is one that we will never forget. Julie truly is one of a kind and never once did she make us feel like this was just her job; she truly cared. Julie is really something special. My husband and I have the upmost gratitude towards Julie for making our day everything we hoped and more.

Julie is AMAZING! A pure professional, she knows her craft and is confident in her work. Our ceremony was so personal and exactly what we wanted. People laughed and they cried (including us). She made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process, truly listened to what we wanted and was a calming force on the day of the wedding. I literally have nothing but positive things to say. Julie is the real deal! Six months later and everyone is still talking about how special our ceremony was.

Julie made our ceremony special, amazing, and one of a kind. The script she put together touched our hearts. Our wedding was almost two months ago and we still get calls about how intimate and beautiful our ceremony was. We couldn’t thank you enough for your kind words and professionalism. Truly we will never forget. With love, Michael & Samantha Cama. Cheers!

Having Julie officiate our wedding ceremony in Central Park was the best decision we could have made. From the beginning, Julie was very responsive, which was really reassuring as we live in the UK. Despite this, organising things was extremely easy and professional, and no question was ever too much which again was very reassuring! Right up to the morning of the ceremony, communication was great and meant everything was very well organised. Julie arrived in plenty of time at the ceremony location, and worked through the administrative side without making it too much of a fuss. We had written our ceremony ourselves, guided by Julie, which meant everything was just as personalised as we wanted it to be, and reflected our sense of humour which was important! Julie was very supportive of this, and the ceremony was delivered brilliantly, including liaising with our string musicians to ensure correct timinga. All of our guests remarked afterwards how intimate and personal it felt, which is exactly what we wanted - so thank you Julie for helping to create such a memorable day! Incredible value for money. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her for your wedding!

we had such an enjoyable experience with Julie as our officiant. From our first meeting to going through things as we got closer to the wedding, she was readily available. She gave us some good ideas on different ways we might want the ceremony to go and they were in tune with what we were thinking about. Overall, we would highly recommend her if you are looking for someone to officiate your wedding. Her professionalism, her courteousness and her warmth definitely made for an enjoyable experience.

When choosing an officiant for your wedding, you’ll find that there are many different options out there, but we were so glad we found Julie. Her professionalism, level of detail and accommodating nature throughout the process was exceptional. She worked with us closely to make the ceremony perfect, heart-felt and personal — from learning our music cues to personalizing her words for the ceremony. Even though she was speaking, our voices came through on our wedding day. We felt incredibly comfortable working with Julie. It takes a great deal to entrust someone with the role of wedding ceremony officiant, and we would definitely choose Julie all over again.
