Absolutely amazing

She was such a vibe. Her energy was amazing. We called her same day and she was available within the hour. We absolutely loved her. So happy to have met her. Thank you again. Mr. And Mrs. McCoy

Wonderful Experience

I had a wonderful experience with Love Story Weddings. Our ceremony was on 8/12/23 and Mrs. Nelson did an amazing job officiating our ceremony. I opted for a shirt and simple ceremony and she delivered. She actually went over and beyond by doing announcements for us and helping with the transition from ceremony to reception. I definitely recommend this company!

My experience was amazing!

My experience with Love story wedding was nothing but amazing. Minyon was very professional and it felt like she was
Apart of the family. She did a great job marrying me and my husband. The price was very reasonable and I definitely would recommend her to anyone looking to get married and needs a officiant.

One of a kind!

Wow just wow!!! She was amazing!!! She gave me a consultation and did everything I needed for our ceremony. I wanted it short sweet and to the point and she did just that. She came beautifully dressed and was very respectful even though I was a hour and a half late for my own wedding lol thank you again!

I feel scammed

Minyon almost ruined my wedding! She came to my rehearsal, proceeded to speak over my coordinator, almost as if she was trying to take her job. That evening she asked what color should she wear to my wedding. I requested a black pants suit as we were getting married at the Westin in Southfield, Algonquin ballroom. Day of Minyon shows up 15 minutes before wedding was supposed to take place, wearing flat knee high boots, FISHNET stockings and a mini dress that barely covered her backside. Needless to say I had to fire her because she didn’t have an appropriate change of clothes. Not sure whose wedding she thought she was attending! And to add insult to injury, she’s only returned $125 or the $300 she was paid! She’s unprofessional, and not remorseful for almost ruining our day! I feel so SCAMMED!
