Linda is a Phenomenal Officiant!

Linda was phenomenal and highly recommend her to be your officiant! Not only was she responsive and thoughtful in her communications, but she was super accommodating to help us plan our ceremony virtually over Zoom and it was seamless despite us being in two time zones and three locations. Linda is truly an experienced and thoughtful officiant who genuinely helped us achieve our ceremony vision -- not only was she very reasonably priced, she got to know us and our love story so we could craft a ceremony program that was true to who we are as individuals and a couple. Linda gave us a variety of options/ideas, great iterative feedback, and was such a pleasure to work with. On the day-of, she was on time, professional, integrated well with our other vendors, and even took time to get to know our families and friends. Even when a surprise, 4-legged puppy crashed our ceremony, Linda's expertise shined as she was able to pivot and adapt seamlessly to make it a memorable, laughter-filled moment! Truly 1000% recommend Linda Sinagra-Smith to officiate your ceremony!

Fast response, Amazing writer!

Linda was such an amazing officiant! Her quick response was a gift from God, with our wedding less than a month away when we found out our officiant at the time wouldn't be able to officiate us and we needed to find a new officiant in 3 weeks! Linda responded that same day I reached out, and that evening we were on Zoom, discussing how we wanted the ceremony to be. Linda not only created an amazing ceremony script in just 3 weeks! She also made sure she got to know us personally during the Zoom, so our ceremony would feel perfectly like us, and my word, did she do that! Linda is truly such a great writer! With us wanting our ceremony to be short but still capture the love we have for one and other, she did so perfectly! The number of guests who came up to me after the ceremony, telling me how perfect it was, truly encapsulates how amazing Linda is as an officiant and a writer!

Beyond exceptional!

Beyond 5 stars! Working with our officiant was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. From the very beginning, she was completely dedicated to making sure our ceremony was personal, meaningful, and seamless.
​She went above and beyond every step of the way—she met us for lunch to talk through our vision and later spent over an hour on a Zoom call fine-tuning every single detail until it was absolute perfection. Her dedication and attention to detail gave us complete peace of mind going into the big day.

​On top of her exceptional communication and calming presence, her pricing is incredibly fair for the high level of service she provides. To top it all off, she surprised us after the wedding with a thoughtful gift, a lovely picture frame that we can't wait to put our wedding photos into.

​If you want an officiant who genuinely cares about you as a couple and invests real time into your story, hire her immediately!

Renewal of love

Linda was so nice to work with. So happy I found her for Me & My Husband's vow renewal. Helping with the ceremony and adding in a poem, she made it easy for me. Even with a little rain we had a beautiful ceremony water side in Chester, MD ❤️

Knots of Love by Linda review

Linda from Knots of Love by Linda performed our wedding ceremony in June 2026. The ceremony was absolutely perfect for us. Linda came recommended and from the moment we met on Zoom, we knew Linda was the officiant for us. The initial meeting was followed up with an in-person meeting at Starbucks. She put us at ease and we talked and laughed throughout the meeting. It was as if we'd known each other for years. She really got to know us and this enabled her to draft the entire wedding ceremony script. It was spot on. We had a service that was special and meaningful to us. The ceremony was videotaped and many family and friends who viewed the ceremony told me it was so touching that they cried. Linda struck a perfect balance. The ceremony was touching, warm, and lighthearted. We even laughed! She made it virtually stress-free. I highly recommend Linda and Knots by Linda. This is not just a job for her. It's a calling. She will put her heart into it and give it her all.

Wonderful for our intimate ceremony

Linda was the perfect person to unite my husband and I, plus our families. She listened to our vision for our ceremony, provided plenty of options and guidance as we planned, and made the entire day feel like it was overflowing with love and care. One of my favorite moments was having our children read a poem during the ceremony. Linda made it so easy (even for my 6 year old!) and special for them and us. If you're getting married with kids, I 100% suggest having this moment! It was something that we will all remember for the rest of our lives. Thank you Linda for being part of our happily ever after!

Linda is amazing

Linda was the perfect choice to officiate our wedding. From the very beginning, her ability to connect with us and communicate effectively made the planning process feel personal and meaningful. Rather than delivering a generic ceremony, she worked closely with us to create something that truly reflected our relationship, personalities, and story.
She took the time to get to know us, welcomed our feedback, and thoughtfully incorporated our ideas and adjustments along the way. In the months leading up to the wedding, she regularly checked in through meetings and emails, always showing genuine excitement and care for our special day.
On the day of the wedding, Linda went far beyond the role of officiant. She greeted guests, coordinated with vendors, and helped ensure everything ran smoothly, allowing us to focus on enjoying the moment instead of worrying about logistics.
One of the things I appreciated most was how she handled our vows. When it came time for us to exchange them, she stepped back and gave us the space to experience that moment together fully. It was a small gesture that made a lasting impact.
I could say so much more about how grateful we are for Linda. Simply put, if you're looking for an officiant who is professional, caring, thoughtful, and willing to go above and beyond, Linda is the person you want standing beside you on one of the most important days of your life.

Linda is the GOAT of Wedding Officiants

Sometimes planning a wedding can feel like sharks circling around waiting to take advantage of your desire to have the special day you've always dreamed of... but NOT with Linda. Linda was SUCH A JOY as the officiant at our wedding. The meetings we had leading up to the wedding with her felt like chatting with a friend or relative. She made the process so enjoyable and was such a calm, fun presence in all the chaos of planning of wedding. She took everything we contributed to her speech to heart and fully embraced our style without any judgement. You can feel in her spirit that she takes so much joy in her business. A funny story from the actual ceremony, we had planned ahead of time to have the groom's brother be the secret ring barer. When Linda asked the audience to look under their chairs to find the ring, his brother was sitting in the wrong seat and someone else came up with the ring derailing the rest of Linda's officiant speech. Linda and I looked at each other, I'm sure I had pure panic in my eyes, and as the bride I completely froze and didn't know what to do. Linda, on the other hand sprung into action and with her good humor and very natural style took control of the situation, got the groom's brother to stand up and got the ceremony back in track in such a wonderful way. Everyone laughed and we got the moment and pictures that we wanted. Linda went above and beyond on our day and also stood outside of the ceremony space greeting our guests and getting to know folks as they were coming in, she accompanied us to our rooftop photo shoot and even helped wrangle folks when things got a bit overwhelming! Not to mention that she sent us a lovely keepsake from our day afterwards that we will treasure forever. We were so grateful to have her with us on our day. It was like having a close friend we trust shepherd us through all of the chaos. I'm going to be honest, I did not consider ahead of time how important having the right officiant would be to making our day special and I feel like we got really lucky to have our paths cross with Linda. No pressure, but when selecting your officiant, keep in mind that you're going to remember your experience with this person for the rest of your lives! I am so glad our paths crossed with Linda. If Linda is available for your wedding book her immediately!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
